I don't know of a summary paper describing TSM security; but the manuals,
and particularly the Technical Guide redbooks, fully describe what's
available in the product.  The product has historically depended upon
being in a physically secure environment, but recent additions like
encrypted communication has improved things.  Use of Encrypted File
Systems on the client is another booster.  The absence of documentation
for the proprietary aspects of the product, such as tape format, further
facilitates security.  :-)
