Abstract

As the size of global computer networks expands and the use of the Internet skyrockets, the security issues do manifest themselves not only in the security of computer networks but also in individual user security on individual PCs connected to the Internet either via an organization’s gateway or an Internet service provider (ISP). The security of every user, therefore, is paramount whether the user is a member of an organization network or a user of a home PC via an independent ISP. In either case, the effort is focused on protecting not only the data but also the user.
