Life and work[]
He graduated from MIT in 1965 with a BS in Mathematics. He worked on CTSS at MIT, and co-authored its first email program with Noel Morris.[1][2][3] In 1965, he joined Project MAC, which is the origin of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. [4] He worked for development of Multics for more than 16 years at MIT and Honeywell Information Systems. [5] Since 2007, most of the Multics source code and documentation is provided as free software by IS&T at MIT.[6][7]
He is also known as a computer security expert.[8]
