Hypertext Transfer Protocol The incredible development of the internet has begun a booming of both business and individual communications leading to the expansion of e-mail and e-commerce. As a matter of fact, studies indicate that most of the internet communication content is e-mail content. The result of this is the continuing demand concerning security and privacy in electronic communication. The call and want for privacy and security has led to the arrival of proposals for security that are discussed in the following contents of this paper. HTTP, also known as Hypertext Transfer Protocol, designates how information is transferred between client and server over the Web. The credit for the invention of the first HTTP is given to Tim Berners-Lee and the members of his team in 1989 (Berners-Lee). The first HTTP only had a single method called GET, which requested a single page from a server (Berners-Lee). Today, HTTP is the protocol allowing text, multimedia, etc. to be downloaded from an HTTP server. HTTP determines what actions can be requested by clients and how servers should handle the requests. HTTP clients make requests to servers running HTTP web servers. For determining what page should be downloaded, HTTP employs a uniform resource locator (URL) from a remote server. The URL comprises of the kind of request, for instance, http://, the name of the server being contacted (for example, ysu.edu), and by choice the page being requested, (for example, /records). In
The first step is to identify whether the URL is of http or https. In the beginning, network administrators had to figure out how to share the information they put out on the Internet. It is agreed on a procedure for exchanging information and called it HyperText Transfer Protocol. Using HTTPS, the computers agree on a "code" between them, and then they scramble the messages using that "code" so that no one in between can read them. This keeps your information safe from hackers. It uses the "code" on a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), sometimes called Transport Layer Security (TLS) to send the information back and forth.
The purpose of this paper is to explain what I use to protect my personal privacy. There are many different things that can be use to protect someone’s information and keep hackers from accessing their computer. Some people use anti-virus, firewalls and anti-spam software to help protect their personal privacy. As we all know with today’s technology having just anti-virus or firewalls are not good enough, but having something is better than nothing. They do not protect you from new or custom-made viruses and evil-scripts. There is no one solution to protect you from Identity Theft, it’s just too many threats to keep up with, and having one software will not do the job for you. One key to protecting your information would be
Privacy is the condition of being separated from the perspective of others. This grants a particular presentation of one 's character and information. For some, it infers indefinite quality, and for others, it gathers security of before long identifiable information. The implications of security fluctuate transversely over individuals and social orders. The Internet serves as the routines for correspondence and a stage for fiscal trades, and a lot of essential data is exchanged over it. With its growing use for distinctive purposes, another thought has created Internet security. It fuses tending to the security needs of customers ' information and expecting presentation of the eventually identifiable purposes of enthusiasm of
While doing the survey of the various security models, privacy mechanisms and other kind of security model which deals with the security and privacy of users who are part of information being shared, we have came across few really nice and promising models. In this section, we are summarizing these methods one by one: -
Never has information played a more important role in society than it does today. The advent of the Internet has made the distribution and collection of information easier and faster than ever before. Today, the Internet is used for communications, shopping, management, and even financial transactions. Despite the slowing economy, recent years have seen a large increase in Internet usage by corporations, and research indicates that this trend will likely continue. Figures gathered by eMarketeer indicate that Internet based commerce will reach as high as $2.4 trillion by 2004 (B2B). With easy access to information from anywhere on the globe, safeguards must be taken to protect sensitive data from

In this paper we will provide an overview and history of computer and network security. We will identify one current use of computer and network security and provide an example of this concept in practical use. A discussion of attitudes towards computer and network security will be made and justifications towards the attitude. We will explain the fundamental strengths and weaknesses toward computer and network security and will provide expert views regarding computer and network security.
High level encryption or cryptography is used in a number of applications ranging from those which impact national security to those which are more mundane. Essentially, cryptography is the methodology of encoding information so that one’s privacy is ensured. This is particularly important when it comes to transactions which occur over the Internet. The risk of individuals gaining access to personal information or information which is critical to a country or a nation over the Internet is a very real one. The practice of cryptography lessens the likelihood of this happening.
Websites are made up of webpages each of which has its exclusive addresses called uniform resource locator (URL). URLs direct users to get to a unique web page through web browsers. URL naming and managing are considered two important issues as it is crucial for a webpage to have an accurate address which appropriately represents content of the page and also generate helpful application in web analytics. Protocol identifier, hostname, path or stem and parameters are core components of URLs as they generate the frame of each URL. Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) is one kind of protocols used to reach hypertext documents on the Net. Protocol and resource name, which is the address of webpage are attached with a colon and two slashes. Host
If you have cable, have you ever wondered why you have to pay for the channels you don 't watch. Why should someone you 've never met pick what and when you can watch your on TV? Wouldn 't you say it would be better if watching TV was like browsing your Web browser, you could pick the programs you wish to watch whenever you felt like watching them? IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) has the ability to do that and more by using internet protocols to transfer your TV programs to you “on demand”. We will discuss how IPTV works, some benefits it brings, and how it is changing the way we watch television today.
As the online services offered through internet has progressed and computing systems have become much more complex, security and privacy issues have become essential. Generally, Information system security should be able to provide user’s confidentiality, data integrity, data availability whenever a legitimate user wishes to access, in this context security can be divided into four areas as follows: Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication and Non-Repudiation [23].
The Internet is a growing phenomenon, which has revolutionized the world. In a nutshell, it is a system of interconnected computer networks using a model set of protocols known as TCP/IP. These are, Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol respectively. Their function is to regulate the transmission and reception of data over this complex network that links billions of gadgets today (Wikipedia, 2016). In an article in Forbes Magazine, contributor Jacob Morgan reports of a finding by a research firm Gartner that about 26 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2020. Everything is connected to the Internet now, including people and plants. This has led to the coining of a phrase, the Internet of Things. Morgan writes,
The internet is a very useful tool to help almost all of the individuals in their daily life activities. With the advent of the internet, people are also able to talk to their loved ones who are living in the far-flung areas. Employers are also recruiting the employees from the different areas of the world to increase diversity in their teams. Because of all these activities, it is critical for the people to protect their identities while using the internet because it is not a very safe communication channel. Various hackers in the world can access almost anything that is available on the internet. Internet privacy includes the privilege or order of individual protection concerning the putting away, procurement to outsiders, and showing of data relating to oneself through the Internet. Internet privacy is a subset of PC protection.
Security is an essential human idea that has ended up more hard to characterize and authorize in Information Age. The significance of information security drove social orders to create inventive methods for securing their information. Internet, has made it conceivable to send tremendous amounts of information over the globe easily. Nonetheless, the test of controlling and ensuring that information has developed exponentially now that information can be effortlessly transmitted, put away, replicated, controlled, and pulverized.
It will use the Internet as a scaffold to support and transmit its sensations. “
