9781390418552: A Basis for Standardization of User-Terminal Protocols for Computer Network Access

Synopsis

This book provides a basis for standardizing the user protocols for network access to computerized information systems and software. In the context of this document, a user protocol refers to the interaction between a user at a terminal and a computer system, as needed to initiate or terminate any interactive or conversational form of computer service. The scope of procedures defined here is directed at, but not necessarily restricted to, the interactive use of unbuffered keyboard/display terminal devices, i.e. devices in which depression of a key normally results in immediate transmission of a single character, communicating by means of the ASCII code, as defined in FIPS Pub 1 (or the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, American Standard X3.4 -1968). The author has outlined and defined the basic access procedure, which permits a user to access computerized information systems from a data terminal. The basic functions such as identification, authorization, and validation are outlined, and various signals and messages making up the protocol are identified. The purpose of the book is to establish a basis for standardization and development of a unified user protocol.
