A database is for the most part utilized for putting away related, organized information, with all around characterized information positions, in a productive way for addition, redesign and/or recovery (contingent upon application). Then again, a record framework is a more unstructured information store for putting away discretionary, presumably disconnected information. The record framework is more broad, and databases are based on top of the general information stockpiling administrations gave by document frameworks. There are additionally contrasts in the normal level of administration gave by document frameworks and databases. While databases must act naturally reliable at any moment in time (consider banks following cash!), give confined exchanges and sturdy composes, a document framework gives much looser
TOR (Roger Dingledine) is a circuit based low-latency anonymous communication service. TOR is now in its second generation and was developed from the Onion routing program. The routing system can run on several operating systems and protect the anonymity of the user. The latest TOR version supports perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking and configurable exit policies. Tor is essentially a distributed overlay network which works on the application layer of the TCP protocol. It essentially anonymizes all TCP-based applications like web-browsing, SSH, instant messaging. Using TOR can protect against common form of Internet surveillance known as “traffic analysis” (Electronic Frontier Foundation). Knowing the source and destination of your internet traffic allows others to track your behavior and interests. An IP packet has a header and a dat...
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. VPN is a data network connection that makes use of the public telecommunication infrastructure but maintains privacy through the use of a tunneling protocol and security procedures. It operates much like a Wide Area Network (WAN).
...vantage of the overall network design and implement usable subnets with virtual local area networks. Use encryption and encapsulation to secure communications of public segments to enable extranets and cross-Internet company traffic. Use items such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls to keep unauthorized users out and monitor activity. Taken together, these pieces can make a secure network that is efficient, manageable, and effective.
When designing networked applications one key protocol stands out as the foundation for making it possible. That protocol is TCP/IP. There are many protocols out there that allow two applications to communicate. What makes TCP/IP a nice protocol is that it allows applications on two physically separate computers to talk. What makes TCP/IP great is that it can do with two computers across a room or across the world. In this paper I will show you how TCP/IP allows a wide array of computer hardware to work together without ever having to knowing what the other machine is or how it even works. At the same time you will learn how it allows information to find its way around the world in a faction of a second without knowing in advance how to get there.

Data in transit has the risk of being altered by unauthorized parties if there are not sufficient encryption or tunneling techniques in use. This presents a risk to the integrity of the data. Similarly, if unauthorized parties are able to access the data in transit, this becomes an issue of confidentiality as well since privacy has been compromised. These concerns can be addressed by utilizing strong encryption, purchasing dedicated leased lines, or tunneling between remote sites, however, as with anything, each of these security solutions comes at a cost that must be taken into consideration.
The overlay networking technologies have become very important part of the internet today as more and more sites are connecting to each other in all over the world. The overlay networking technologies give freedom to implement any routing protocol and network design on top of the internet. There are many proven overlay technologies are there, however they also have some shortcomings, which lead us think about more scalable and secure overlay technology. Some of the disadvantages of the overlay technologies that are currently being used are complicated configuration and networking topology, difficult in expansion and maintenance, GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel’s inability to traverse NAT, IPsec’s inability to support dynamic routing [1].
In today’s world businesses, governments, and individuals, all are communicating with each other across the world. While reality is rapidly approaching this utopian picture, several relatively minor issues have changed status from low priority to extreme importance. Security is probably the most well known of these problems. When businesses send private information across the net, they place a high value on it getting to its destination intact and without being intercepted by someone other than the intended recipient. Individuals sending private communications obviously desire secure communications. Finally, connecting a system to a network can open the system itself up to attacks. If a system is compromised, the risk of data loss is high.
Description of an Intranet An Intranet provides the facilities and technology of the Internet, only on a private network. It works by connecting computers together and linking them via a communication tool called a protocol. The company's intranet will be kept private from certain users by means of software located on an intranet server called a Firewall. Therefore, Phone Ease can have complete control of what electronic based information is to be accessed by certain users.
For thousands of years cryptography and encryption have been used to secure communication. Military communication has been the leader of the use of cryptography and the advancements. From the start of the internet there has been a greater need for the use of cryptography. The computer had been invented in the late 1960s but there was not a widespread market for the use of computers really until the late 1980s, where the World Wide Web was invented in 1989. This new method of communication has called for a large need for information security. The internet allows people to communicate sensitive information, and if received into the wrong hands can cause many problems for that person.
This chapter provides an overview of cryptography concept. It`s required to encrypt and maintain confidentiality of the information to be transmitted over the network. This is achieved through cryptography. Cryptography plays a vital role in securing the information when transmitted across the network. It helps in maintaining the integrity of the information stored on the network. Thus, security is one of the important concepts to be explored in the world of network security.
IP is short for internet protocols. IP specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol known as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source. (webopedia, 2014) The OSI, or Open System Interconnection, model defines a networking framework to implement protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, and proceeding to the bottom layer, over the channel to the next station and then back up the hierarchy. (webopediap, 2014)
There are a number of definitions of the network. Network is defined by Curtin (1997) as “A collection of interrelated links a net, a network of roads an interconnected cycle, a network of alliances.”This definition suits our purpose well which is a computer network is simply system of interconnected computers. As well as Ryan(2013)discussed" A network is one of information technology's interests. It is a nodes interconnected via communication paths. Also, it can interconnect with other networks and sub networks. By the way, networks are characterized in terms of spatial distance as local area network (LAN) ,metropolitan (MAN) and Wide (WAN)." In addition, Television Fanatic(2015) defined network in their own way which is "If you have group of computers connected to each other so, you have a network . It has main aim which is toenable the sharing of files and information between different devices. Cables are tools of network that can connected other devices together, for instance Ethernet cables or phone
