Abstract | Internet is most popular network, as it is the huge source of information, cheap mean for the transmission, widely available and easy to use. In early years of internet, it was used mainly for publishing and transferring information, which was not very critical so the security was not a major concern. However during last decade number of systems operating in internet environment, which carry critical information, has grown rapidly. Information security has been very important issue for these systems. The availability of several new techniques and tools to unlawfully gain the information from internet has raised serious concern for secmity of systems using critical information. This research study attempts to study various issues of information security and means to contain them. Based on the study it gives suitable measures that would enable us to provide the security for the systems. Study shows how security can be achieved using protocols at internet, transport and application layer. We use a model to provide security using firewalls, which makes system effectively secure. |
