Abstract
This thesis examines the issues relating to non-discretionary access controls for decentralized computing systems. Decentralization changes the basic character of a computing system from a set of processes referencing a data base to a set of processes sending and receiving messages. Because massages must be acknowledge, operations that were read-only in a centralized system become read-write operations.
