Abstract :
The Safeguards and Security Department at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is currently implementing a high-security alarm system that contains a number of automation concepts that are new at Livermore. A dichotomy arises from the apparent conflict between the need to protect the materials and documents associated with nuclear weapons design and testing and the need to maintain a campus-like environment. The system implemented to meet both of these needs uses a user-friendly high-security interface that allows users to access an alarmed area, and authorized users to have field control of the access lists to that alarmed area. The system provides specialized interfaces for users, console operators, the security staff, system maintenance personnel, designers, and security administrators
