Summary:The purpose of this paper is to describe a security scheme for a special purpose resource-sharing system for networked computers. The scheme makes use of cryptographic constructs called coupons, issued by a central authority, and representing the right to use a certain amount of resources on a specified machine. The security scheme is described in detail, and an analysis of its security is also given.
