and technological advancements. For the most part, these drivers are resulting in positive changes for computer networks.
One of the fundamental ways in which computer networks are changing is that they are incorporating Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). VPNs provide an additional computing network inside of an external network (Monga 343). As such, they are able to buttress security while adding a layer of privacy (Rao and Kavitha 4). There are a number of intruders and hackers who are invading networks without authority. One of the basic ways to meet this broadening challenge is to stifle hackers with the use of a VPN.

The concept of internet got introduced in the year 1969 by the U.S. government’s ARPA--Advanced Research Projects Agency and was initially called as the ARPANet. The internet physically uses a part of the total resources from the presently prevailing telecommunication systems. In fact, what makes a technical level of distinction of the internet is about using the… Continue Reading...

Some indication of how the NSA goes about collecting intelligence data can be discerned from the Executive Order 12333 of December 4, 1981 that created the agency and its roles and responsibilities. Today, the NSA Director is tasked with the following
Collect (including through clandestine means), process, analyze, produce, and disseminate signals intelligence information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes to support national and… Continue Reading...
