I'd try to get some opinions about good foundational materials for 
security
professionals.  (I'm relatively new to the field, and would like to 
broaden

my background knowledge.)  Specifically, what are the top five or ten
security papers that you'd recommend to anyone wanting to learn more 
about
security?  What are the papers that you keep printed copies of and 
reread

every few years just to get a new perspective on them?


Amoroso has a list of selected papers in an appendix to "Fundamentals 
of
Computer Security Technology" (sorry, haven't been able to find a web 
link),
but I'm interested in hearing other perspectives, as well as hearing 
about

newer papers that have excited people.   Any thoughts?
