Mugged on the Information Superhighway: Security Problems and Solutions (1994)
By Robert Adams, Intel Corporation
With the information superhighway speeding toward us, how will we protect our secrets? Suppose you use your credit card to order a pizza. How will we keep your neighbor from seeing the number? How will we keep the pizza house from using your credit card for a month's worth of pepperoni? Security, privacy, and encryption are key elements of the emerging cable-based broadband networks.
This paper describes the infrastructure necessary to provide security as part of the underlying infrastructure for broadband networking. It will provide a brief tutorial on the key elements of security, with a focus on the implications in a broadband, cable-based network and participation in a global information network.
