Information Technology: Network Security

This document provides an overview of network security. It defines what a network is and discusses some popular network types like UUCP. It outlines threats to networks like denial of service attacks and unauthorized access. It also describes different types of firewalls used to secure networks, like application gateways, packet filtering, and hybrid systems. The document concludes by noting the importance of secure network drivers and different approaches people take to building secure networks.

Introduction towards Networking

• A basic understanding

networking

popular networks

• The risks of network
computing.
What is Network ?
A ``network'' has been defined as ``any
set of interlinking lines resembling a net,
a network of roads an interconnected
system, a network of alliances.''
This definition suits our purpose well: a
computer network is simply a system of
interconnected computers. How they're
connected is irrelevant, and as we'll soon
see, there are a number of ways to do
this.
Some Popular Network: UUCP

• UUCP (Unix-to-Unix CoPy)

• Batch-Oriented Processing.

• Implementation Environment.

• Popularity.

• Security.
UUCP (Unix-to-Unix CoPy)

• Developed to connect Unix

• Many different architectures

• Same principles as UUCP


Affects of Network Threats

• Denial-of-Service

• Unauthorized Access

• Executing Commands
Illicitly
Continued…

• Confidentiality Breaches

• Destructive Behavior

• Data Diddling

• Data Destruction
Types of Firewalls

• Application Gateways

• Packet Filtering

• Hybrid Systems
Application Gateways
Packet Filtering
Hybrid Systems

• In an attempt to marry the


security of the application
layer gateways with the
flexibility and speed of
packet filtering
• some vendors have
created systems that use
the principles of both.  
Secure Network Drivers

• Secure Modems;
Dial-Back Systems
• Crypto-Capable
Routers
• Virtual Private
Networks
Conclusion

• Everyone has a different idea

• key for building a secure


network

• Projects and systems

• Great amounts of lip service
