  • On October 21, 2002, all 13 of the Internet’s root Domain Name System servers were targeted by a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS). While the attack had little overall effect on the performance of the Internet, a more sophisticated and sustained attack might have had a more deleterious impact. As the use of the Internet grows, so has concern about security of and security on the Internet. A long list of security-related incidents that have received wide-ranging media coverage (e.g., the Melissa virus, the Love Bug, and the Code Red, Nimda, Slammer, and Blaster worms) represents the tip of the iceberg. More recently, a series of data security breaches have resulted in the loss of credit card numbers and other personal identifying information. Every day, persons gain access, or try to gain access, to someone else’s computer without authorization to read, copy, modify, or destroy the information contained within. These persons range from juveniles to disgruntled (ex)employees, to criminals, to competitors, to politically or socially motivated groups, to agents of foreign governments.
