Securing Extranet Connections
This paper will present one solution to securing a large number of extranet connections. In particular, the focus will be on the corporation who is the extranet network provider, or at the hub of a large extranet. The extranet network provider's responsibility for security is not only between it and its business partners and customers, but also making sure that partner A can't access systems at customer B (unless specifically requested).

Security Features in IPv6
This paper will present a brief overview of some of the new features provided by the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). It will take an in-depth view of the new security features in IPv6, namely the use of the Authentication Header and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) Header. This document will examine how these security features can prevent certain types of network attacks currently occurring over the Internet and discuss some of the open issues with the IPV6 security features.

Transmission Media Security
In this paper I will discuss the various types of media commonly used to connect computers into networks and analyze the many vulnerabilities of the different media types. Although my research did not uncover any new vulnerabilities (other than a newly discovered problem with WPA) it will nonetheless reiterate the importance of considering the media when planning for a secure network.

J2EE Connector Architecture White Paper:Integrating Java applications with existing Enterprise Applications
Most companies have enormous investments in Enterprise Information Systems (EISs) such as ERP systems, legacy systems, mainframe database and transaction processing systems. Today, leveraging these systems as part of a web-based, multi-tiered application is challenging. EIS vendors provide proprietary interfaces, with varying levels of support for enterprise application integration. Application server vendors have to build and maintain separate interfaces for different supported EISs, and application developers need to manage the system-level issues of security, transactions and connection pooling within the applications themselves.

Securing SNMP: A Look at Net-SNMP (SNMPv3)
This paper addresses the many improvements, enhancements, and additions that comprise net-snmp, as well as the benefits of using SNMP to monitor network devices and computers. A discussion on the benefits of systems monitoring is included for relevance. Shortcomings of previous versions of SNMP are explained, and solutions to these faults are described in terms of net-snmp's capabilities. The bulk of this practical focuses on the specific additions to SNMP that make net-snmp the ideal candidate for systems monitoring. The User-based Security Model is explained with regard to SNMP, and encryption is topically dealt with for completeness. Throughout the paper, various topics within network security and operation are discussed to emphasize the improvements with net-snmp. Overall, SNMPv3 provides the best of both worlds: ready access to system monitoring information, and sophisticated security.

Risks and Threats To Storage Area Networks
Every business faces risk as long as they have something of value. The more valuable the assets of the company are, the more risk they face. Data value increases when the amount of information in a database grows and the data can be harvested more effectively. Data should be protected or secured at a reasonable cost that is a fraction of the value of the data.

One Approach to Enterprise Security Architecture
This paper will discuss an approach to Enterprise Security Architecture. It will describe an enterprise security policy, security domains, trust levels, tiered networks, and most importantly the relationships among them. Rather than discussing the infrastructure of an information security program, which numerous resources exist, this paper will describe the architecture of an information security program. So what's the difference?

Security Process for the implementation of a Companys extranet network
The current business climate requires companies to communicate and exchange information with a large number of customers, business partners, vendors, contractors and research communities. Besides of this fact, most of the companies offer remote access and internet access for their employees. Under this scenario, companies must implement security controls in their network's perimeter. The problem is how to implement these controls, how to cover all the security aspects for each connection, how to implement policies, guidelines and procedures to provide an acceptable security level for the company according to their business needs.

The OSI Model: An Overview
The original objective of the OSI model was to provide a set of design standards for equipment manufacturers so they could communicate with each other. The OSI model defines a hierarchical architecture that logically partitions the functions required to support system-to-system communication.
