INTERNET AND WEB SECURITY

Abstract
The proliferation of the Internet and Web have apparently resulted
in an explosion of the data transmissions over networks. To
sustain the increased traffic, newer technologies and protocols
have been deployed. Ever more sensitive and strategic data is
stored on Web sites and transmitted over the Internet, although,
the Internet and Web have not been designed to handle secure
handling of data. Recently, several schemes (Secure Socket Layer,
PGP, S/MIME, etc.) have been developed to provide a layer of
security to the Internet and Web. Despite these, the Internet
and Web are vulnerable for attacks from a variety sources which
is detrimental to the (a) availability, (b) integrity, (c) confidentiality,
and (d) authenticity of information. Schemes for ensuring resilience
to attacks and quick recovery are critical to every application.
This tutorial is intended to give a good overview of the principles
and practices of various aspects of Internet and Web security.
It also presents in-depth technical details of several key techniques
used.
