Cyber Security video: http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&products_id=285640-1 Witnesses testified about computer system security at a hearing entitled, "Cybersecurity: Network Threats and Policy Challenges." Among the issues they addressed were the vulnerabilities of current computer networks, steps private businesses and government agencies could take to improve information security, and proactive policies to counter threats posed by computer hackers.

By the end of the summer it will be running on eight campus networks around the country. The idea is to build a new Internet with improved security and the capabilities to support a new generation of not-yet-invented Internet applications, as well as to do some things the current Internet does poorly - such as supporting mobile users. The Stanford Clean Slate project won't by itself solve all the main security issues of the Internet, but it will equip software and hardware designers with a toolkit to make security features a more integral part of the network and ultimately give law enforcement officials more effective ways of tracking criminals through cyberspace. Ed Felten of Princeton University responds with an orthodox hacker-purist line: [The first misconception] is the notion that today's security problems are caused by weaknesses in the network itself. In fact, the vast majority of our problems occur on, and are caused by weaknesses in, the endpoint devices: computers, mobile phones, and other widgets that connect to the Net. The problem is not that the Net is broken or malfunctioning, it's that the endpoint devices are misbehaving -- so the best solution is to secure the endpoint devices... continues here: http://whimsley.typepad.com/whimsley/2009/02/review-the-future-of-the-internet-and-how-to-stop-it-by-jonathan-zittrain.html http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=The+Future+of+The+Internet%2C+and+how+we+stop+it&aq=f&aqi=&aq=f&aqi=&fp=48830840a98bb3c5 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
