NETWORK SECURITY THROUGH PALLADIUM

ABSTRACT

In today’s world, the importance of information cannot be overemphasized. All the services and systems of various organizations and institutions, both government and private, depend on the information fed to them. Information has attained the same or perhaps even greater significance than that of any other tangible object that is of any practical consequence. All this makes it imperative for individuals and organizations alike to safeguard their data and avoid its misuse, destruction, duplication or distribution by unauthorized people, especially after witnessing the havoc that can be unleashed by such attacks.

Since the inception of conglomeration of Computers with Networks, the consequence of which shrunk the communication world, hitherto unknown, umpteen ilks of security breaches took their origin. Tersely quoting some security ditherers – Eavesdropping, Hacking, Hijacking, Mapping, Packet Sniffing, 1Spoofing, DoS & DDoS attacks, etc.
