    Date : 13th October 2000
    Venue : Impact Lecture Theatre, IIT-Bombay

    Abstract : Living as we are in the "information" age, and "human nature" being what it is, "information warfare" has become a sad but inevitable reality. Internet's uncontrolled exponential growth, and the increasing dependence on it by many commercial organizations, has made it a very critical but also a very vulnerable infrastructure. In this lecture, we give a bird's eye view of the security requirements, vulnerabilities, defence mechanisms, and emerging security services on Internet. The goal of this lecture is to motivate students to explore fascinating research topics such as cryptology, access control and authentication protocols by giving them a feel for the issues involved and pointers to learning material.
