Abstract
This paper asserts that some Canadian government officials believe that Canada should establish proxy servers to help peoples in other parts of the world circumnavigate official repression. The paper posits that the establishment of proxy servers might do wonders at breaking down the control of authoritarian governments and would allow Canada to build its international stature while empowering a huge number of peoples abroad. However, the paper points out that proxy servers appear to be, by default, unencrypted and thus information being exchanged between the proxy and the user can be easily "tapped" into by a third dissident party. In the end, the paper concludes that Canada would do well to leave such matters alone inasmuch as the proxy server plan may endanger lives rather than enrich them.
From the Paper
"Still, there are real-life benefits to proxy servers that are appealing to technocrats within the Canadian bureaucracy. For one thing, there are many software packages now available that can "proxy" traffic and that can be configured to operate on non-standard ports. As well, there are now many publicly-accessible proxy servers ("Technical Ways to Get around Censorship," para.2). Consequently, it is easier to set up proxies than ever before and it is easier to access proxy servers than ever before. Thus, the advent of a generation of proxy servers capable of helping private citizens navigate their way around government censorship seems like something that can only help educate (and empower) the public."

From the Paper
"More than likely, a personal user will go with the company used by their provider. For instance, the local telephone company as it has grown, it has adopted a network firewall made up of Cisco hardware (machines) and software to provide better protection for its users. Network firewalls have long been an asset to the large corporation as it acts as security for protection of that company's information and intellectual property (Desmond, 2004, p. 1). This is very important as Internet user statistics present, "the typical unprotected PC will come under attack within 20 minutes of being connected" (Desmond, 2004, p. 1). For a company with more than 100 users, this is potentially damaging not only to the flow of the work day but to a company's reputation with the consumer. A personal firewall for a network is larger in size as it protects all computers within that network. Additionally, each individual local area network (maybe organized by company department and levels of security importance) is protected by its personal firewall, allowing for additional protection of information. This means, more and more companies are using information to ensure the backgrounds of employees as the information they handle becomes more and more top secret. "

Firewalls.
This paper discusses the firewall, a group of systems that enforces an access control policy between two networks to block traffic and to allow the traffic within the network.

Abstract
This paper explains that, for a firewall to work, it must be a part of a consistent overall organizational security architecture with realistic policies, which must reflect the level of security in the entire network. The author points out that application layer firewalls generally are host computers running proxy servers, which permit no traffic directly between networks, and which perform elaborate logging and auditing of traffic passing through them. The paper relates that a simple improvement is the use of an "intelligent filter,' which uses special firewall software to filter networks packets and services, thus offering a solution to better protection and logging possibilities.

From the Paper
"These firewalls are based on the source, destination addresses, and ports. A simple router is the "traditional'' network layer firewall, but it is not able to make particularly sophisticated decisions about what a packet is actually talking to or where it actually came from. Modern network layer firewalls maintain internal information about the state of connections passing through them and the contents of some of the data streams. One thing that is an important distinction about many network layer firewalls is that they route traffic directly though them, so to use them a person needs to have a either validly assigned IP address block or a "private internet'' address block."

Abstract
This paper discusses firewall technology. It describes the purpose of firewalls and looks at how they have evolved over time from simple packet-filtering devices to ones that have multiple purposes. The paper discusses how firewalls are used and looks briefly at the different forms that firewalls come in. The paper also looks at how to choose a firewall for your given network security situation.
From the Paper
"Each of the layers of the OSI Reference Model only has communication with the layer directly above and below it. As data from another computer comes off the wire at the Physical Layer (Layer 1) and travels up to the Data Link Layer (Layer 2), information is added as a header to the information packet that is needed by the Network Layer (Layer 3). This process continues, layer by layer, until the packet reaches the Application Layer (Layer 7). This is where the program you are running on your computer is able to use the data and you, as an end user, get the result you were expecting. Conversely, if your program needs to communicate with another computer on the network, the process is done in reverse fashion as the data packet descends through the layers of the OSI model."

Abstract
This paper looks at firewalls, an extra layer of protection that builds a wall between a computer and the Internet to protect the computer from unauthorized computer users accessing the computer's information. Specifically, it includes information on firewalls, their strengths and weaknesses, and a short review of some firewall products. It shows how firewalls are a necessary accessory for any home or business computer that accesses the Internet because they protect the user from unscrupulous hackers who delight in accessing and destroying other users' data.
From the Paper
"The strengths of a firewall are fairly obvious ? a good firewall will protect your computer from hackers who abound on the Internet. The strength and usefulness of a firewall also depend on the strengths and weaknesses of the software. Some firewall software effectively blocks outside users from accessing the computer, but also can corrupt or block certain files on the computer from running, which defeats the purpose of the firewall. Not all firewalls are compatible with all computers, systems, or other software programs, and this must be taken into account when using a firewall."

Abstract
This paper examines the variety of commercial firewalls that are available today. The paper begins by explaining the importance of firewalls in protecting computers and networks connected to the Internet from hackers and viruses. The paper continues with a review of the various types of firewalls available in both hardware and software, as well as mentioning some of the major players in the firewall market.
From the Paper
"Because we protect the physical components of computers, we believe at least at some level that we are also protecting the integrity and privacy of the information that is stored within them. This is simply not the case. The computer sitting on your desk in your home office or at work ? or at the FBI ? can be connected (indeed in many ways is connected) to busy-as-bee hackers in China and Russia with absolutely nothing better in the world to do than to discover ways of determining what information you have stored in your computer that might be of interest to anyone else in the world. And the only thing that stands between you and those curious fingers and eyes may well be a firewall."

Abstract
This paper explains that firewalls have the basic task of controlling traffic between different zones of trusts such as the Internet and an internal network; the goal of a firewall is to control the connectivity between these differing levels of trust zones. The author points out several considerations that need to be considered when choosing a personal firewall for the enterprise environment: (1) Is complete protection offered? (2) Can the firewall protect itself? (3) Does it offer compliance tools to enforce policy compliance? (4) Can it be integrated with all leading gateway vendors and centralized enforcement reporting? The paper reviews three firewall manufacturers who offer software or hardware solutions and their products as applied to specific situations: Symantec, Zone Labs and Cisco Systems.

Abstract
This paper defines this conditions and examines what causes Munchausen. It tries to analyze why parents poison their own children from a psychiatric and social point of view. It also looks at treatment available for the disease. Many theories and case studies are provided.
From the Paper
"As a parent, you are expected to love and protect your child at any cost. Stories are heard about mothers who chose to give birth instead of taking chemotherapy drugs or fathers who jump in front of cars to save their child. Yet what happens when a parent is so mentally affected that they chose another route, a parent who, instead of protecting their child, chooses instead to hurt them. This is the case with the disease Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy or MSBP. Identified almost exclusively in mothers, MSBP has been one of the most misunderstood mental diseases in recent history. Mothers who have Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy should be treated by a healthcare professional, not by the criminal justice system, yet still these mentally disturbed women are being prosecuted regularly for child abuse."

From the Paper
"INTERNET SECURITY AND THE USE OF FIREWALLS
An Internet firewall is a software program or group of programs that promises to guarantee secure linking between an organization's computer network and the Internet. Security has become one of the primary concerns when an organization connects its private network to the Internet. A 1995 study showed that 1290 network managers reported financial losses due to ineffective network security. Twenty percent of those respondents indicated that breaches in network security stemming from Internet connections were to blame. In addition, of the companies that indicated a crack in network security, losses were estimated to be above one million dollars (Lopez, 1996, 40).
Regardless of the business, an increasing number of users on private networks are demanding access to Internet services such ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses MSP and examines the conditions under which it thrives. It explains how a parent would cause the child harm or falsify medical records in order to get sympathy and attention from medical staff. It discusses how this condition can be detected.
From the Paper
"Munchausen syndrome is a type of mental disorder called ?factitious.? The person pretends to be ill for psychological rather than financial gain (malingering) (Frey, 1999). Patients with a factitious disorder do things such as deliberately contaminating their urine samples or injecting themselves with germs. They often make themselves deliberately ill for the purpose of gaining attention from medical personnel and others. The most common of these disorders is ?Munchausen syndrome,? named after a man from the 19th century who was famous for his exaggerated tales, although his stories, although his stories had nothing to do with medical care."
