Network Security Management

The explosive proliferation of Internet connectivity in the past couple
of years has done much to extend networked communications to the entire
world. Use of the Internet - the World Wide Web, in particular - has 
introduced millions to the potential benefits of networked computing 
for so many different aspects of our lives. Electronic commerce may 
just be the tip of the iceberg.

Nevertheless, as with most significant advances, a downside exists 
as well. In the case of Internet connectivity, that downside rests 
squarely on the shoulders of network security management. Once 
connected to the world, network managers have a whole new realm of 
security threats to consider; and proper techniques for protection 
are often nontrivial.

This special issue is intended to bring together a range of different 
perspectives and approaches to network security management. The issue 
will include papers with special attention to practical experiences 
in the management of cryptographic and firewall protections. 
The scope will includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Cryptographic solutions to practical network security problems
Authentication approaches for local and wide-area networks
Internet firewall architectures, management, and support
Network applications (e.g., electronic mail) security
