Logical Foundations for Protecting Materials and Facilities from those with Malicious Intent?Proposed 1st Principles for Security Systems.

Abstract

Introduction The implementation of processes to protect us and our resources from those with malicious intent has been witnessed within every known civilization. This long history of developing protective solutions that meet the operational, environmental, technological, and intellectual constraints of a given time provides useful lessons learned and insights. Additionally, significant efforts in the U.S. has been put forth in recent decades to leverage this observations and insights to protect critical pieces of infrastructure. Yet, these lessons and insights still tend to be applied in an ad hoc fashion. This paper will explore a collection of proposed 1 principles, aiming to demonstrate that these principles are the fundamental concepts of security.
