Abstract

The most obvious threats to information security are those concerning data while being transmitted over a network. A secure network must provide for data confidentiality, for authentication of the originator of a message and for protection against unauthorized changes of the data transmitted. Since local area networks are not confined to small areas anymore, the need for LAN security also has become commonly recognized. Only a few vendors of networking equipment have responded yet to this need, also progress in network security standards is relatively slow.
