Abstract

No topic seems to have captured the fancy of information security professionals as has the topic of firewalls. Firewalls are commonly defined as security barriers between an internal network and other networks external to that network. The topic of firewalls is not only disproportionately represented in the agenda of information security conferences and workshops but is the focus of a number of net groups (e.g. Firewalls Digest) that generate a prolific number of postings. Indeed, firewalls are receiving so much attention today that it is difficult to imagine anything new that could be said. Corporations offering information security services now routinely advertise ‘state-of-the-art’ consulting in firewall design and evaluation.
