COURSE OUTLINE:

I. Overview

As the World Wide Web grows, so do the potentials for important
information being discovered, sniffed, read, duplicated, reposted, or
sold without authorization.

Many sites joined the World Wide Web through the first browsers
available: NCSA, CERN, and Plexus. Now, as financial transactions and
secure communications become important, the next step is the big
one. What do I install now.

This tutorial discusses all the current technologies, case studies and
what solutions each can offer. It also covers secure CGI-bin script
programming, the potentials and threats for improperly written forms
and back ends, plus demonstrations for each type of failure.


II. Schedule

Morning		What are the current technologies and what do
		they offer?
		
Afternoon	Secure CGI-bin programming, setting up a "secure"
		WWW machine, filtering techniques, and what to
		think about.
