The government of South Africa has passed a number of legislations to govern the internet. For the purposes of this module we shall discuss the following;

• Electronic communications and transactions act. 2002
• Regulation of interception of communications and provision of communication-related information act, 2002
• Constitution of South Africa

 

1. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSACTIONS ACT. 2002

The overall objective of the Act is to enable and facilitate electronic transactions by creating legal certainty around transactions and communications conducted electronically.

The Act seeks to address the following policy imperatives:

• bridging the digital divide by developing a national e-strategy for South Africa;
• ensuring legal recognition and functional equivalence between electronic and paper-based transactions;
• promoting public confidence and trust in electronic transactions; and
• Providing supervision of certain service providers.

 

Let’s look at some of the key areas of the ACT

 

1. Facilitating electronic transactions

Part 1 provides for the legal recognition of data messages and records. Electronic data will, subject to certain conditions, be permitted to be retained for statutory record retention purposes, will be regarded as being ‘‘in writing’’, and as a true copy of an ‘‘original’’ record, and provision is made for securing proper evidentiary weight of electronic evidence.

Part 2 deals with the rights and obligations that follow from the communication of data messages. The Act also provides for the validity of sending notices and other expressions of intent through data messages.

2. Cyber inspectors

Chapter XII of the Act seeks to provide for the Department of Communications to appoint cyber inspectors. The cyber inspectors may monitor Internet web sites in the public domain and are granted powers of search and seizure of “information systems”, subject to obtaining a warrant

The Act’s definition of ‘‘information system’’ means a system for generating, sending, receiving, storing, displaying or otherwise processing data messages and includes the Internet;

 

Under Section 82. (1) A cyber inspector may, in the performance of his or her functions, at any reasonable time, without prior notice and on the authority of a warrant issued in terms of section 83(1), enter any premises or access an information system that has a bearing on an investigation

 

[Amongst other things] He is authorised to:

1. search those premises or that information system;
2. search any person on those premises if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the person has personal possession of an article, document or record that has a bearing on the investigation;
3. take extracts from, or make copies of any book, document or record that is on or in the premises or in the information system and that has a bearing on the investigation;
4. demand the production of and inspect relevant licenses and registration certificates as provided for in any law;
5. inspect any facilities on the premises which are linked or associated with the information system and which have a bearing on the investigation;

A person who refuses to co-operate or hinders a person conducting a lawful search and seizure in terms of this section is guilty of an offence.

 

3. Cyber crime

 

Chapter XIII of the Act seeks to make the first statutory provisions on cyber crime in South African jurisprudence. The Act seeks to introduce statutory criminal offences relating to information systems and includes—

(a) unauthorised access to data;
(b) interception of or interference with data;
(c) computer-related extortion;
(d) fraud; and
(e) forgery.

Under Section 86. (1) Companies and individual should note that subject to the Interception and Monitoring Prohibition Act, 1992 (Act No. 127 of 1992), a person who intentionally accesses or intercepts any data without authority or permission to do so, is guilty of an offence. [You don’t have to do anything with it, just look!]

A person who unlawfully produces, sells, offers to sell, procures for use, designs, adapts for use, distributes or possesses any device, including a computer programme or a component, which is designed primarily to overcome security measures for the protection of data, or performs any of those acts with regard to a password, access code or any other similar kind of data with the intent to unlawfully utilise such item to contravene this section, is guilty of an offence. [Therefore, if you are given the password to a restricted “pay” website, and you use it, you are breaking the law! ]

 

2. REGULATION OF INTERCEPTION OF COMMUNICATIONS AND PROVISION OF COMMUNICATION-RELATED INFORMATION ACT, 2002

RICA regulates the interception of communications, the monitoring of radio signals and radio frequency spectrums and the provision of communication-related information relating to indirect communication in the records of telecommunication service providers. It also regulates applications for interception of communications and provision of communication-related information under certain circumstances. It regulates law enforcement where interception of communications is involved and prohibits the provision of telecommunication services which do not have the capability to be intercepted and requires telecommunication service providers to store communication-related information (CRI).

 

The law specifies costs to be borne by telecommunication service providers related to these requirements and compensation to services providers. It provides for the establishment of interception centres an Office for Interception Centres and an Internet Service Providers Assistance Fund. Lastly it prohibits the manufacturing, assembling, possessing, selling, purchasing or advertising of interception equipment without a certificate of exemption issued by the relevant Minister.

 

3. CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

Section 14 of the Bill of Rights in the South African Constitution of 1996 expressly provide that “everyone has a right to privacy, which includes the right not to have (…) (d) the privacy of their communications infringed”. The rights in the Bill of Rights may be limited, section 36 of the Constitution. However, various other provisions in the Bill of Rights indirectly imply a right to safety and security. If citizens have a right to security, it creates a corresponding duty on the State.

 

Chapter 11 of the Constitution governs this duty and authorise the Police, Defence Force and Intelligence Agencies to assist the State in its security obligations.

IMPLICATIONS OF PROVIDING INTERNET ACCESS

In addition to using the Internet, especially the World Wide Web and e-mail for work-related purposes, employees are also using the Internet for personal use, whether for sending personal e-mail messages, playing games, downloading pornography, ordering goods online, checking stock prices, or gambling. Accordingly, many issues have arisen involving employee e-mail and Internet use.

Employers are grappling with how much, if any, personal use of the Internet and e-mail to permit in the workplace. Employers are also grappling with the question of whether to monitor Internet use and whether to block access to certain Internet sites.

In this section, we shall concentrate on implications of providing internet access to employees in terms of security of information and virus protection.

1. VIRUS AND VIRUS PROTECTION

One of the main disadvantages of providing internet access is viruses and worms. According to Webopedia, a virus (opens in a new browser window) is a “programme or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes.”

Many popular programmes like Microsoft Office appear on different computers in different households. The likelihood is great that many family members, co-workers, friends, and neighbours use the same software. And when many people use this software, they begin to share information through downloading files, trading floppy disks or zip disks, opening e-mail attachments, displaying Web pages, and file-sharing. They unknowingly open the door to viruses.

• Some viruses are disguised as legitimate computer programmes. Others may use macros written into popular software products — like Microsoft Word — where users can programmeme certain keystrokes to execute certain commands, or to specify certain processes to run when documents are opened or closed — may be written to infect data files.
• Some viruses do little but duplicate themselves, while others can cause serious damage or affect programme and system performance.

What is a Worm?

Worms are computer programmes that replicate themselves and often interferes with the normal operation of a computer, programme, or network. Unlike viruses, worms do not attach to other files or programmes. Worms tend to spread more rapidly than computer viruses because they often take advantage of automatic file sending and receiving to spread them over the network from one computer to the next.

While worms have been known to delete files or send email documents they typically reside in memory, eat up system resources, and slow down your computer.

What is a Trojan Horse?

No, it’s not a horse that you saw in the movie Troy. A Trojan horse is a programme that initially appears useful and fools a user into running it. It frequently hides in games and other small software programmes so that when you download it, you unknowingly execute it on your computer. Unlike viruses, Trojans do not replicate themselves. Rather, they leave behind a programme that can be contacted by another computer. Trojans have also been known to destroy files on your hard disk. One example of a Trojan Horse is a programme that claims to find and delete viruses, but instead, introduce a virus to your computer.

Hoaxes

Many of us have received email chain letters that warn impending viruses. Or they might be disguised as a promotion that sounds too good to resist.

Hoaxes are scare alerts started by malicious people that are passed on by innocent users who think they are helping the community by spreading the warning. Do not forward these hoax messages. There have been many reported cases where e-mail systems collapsed after dozens of users forwarded false alerts to other users. The best course of action is to merely delete these hoax emails

Symantec, a global leader in information security, maintains a page on its Web site(opens in a new browser window) that contains a list of known hoaxes. If you are concerned about a bogus email you received about a new virus or sales promotion, visit this site to see if it is listed and what it says.

Top 10 Tips to Avoid Computer Worms

1. Keep your operating system and applications, particularly email applications like Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express, up-to-date. Get the updates directly from the vendor.
2. Try to avoid sending or receiving mail that contains attachments.
3. Don’t open attachments that reveal a file extension of EXE, VBS, SHS, or PIF.
4. Do not share your folders with other users unless it’s necessary.
5. Disconnect your network or modem cable when you’re not using your computer – or just power it down.
6. Do not open attachments or follow Web links received in an email advertisement or other unsolicited e-mail.
7. Avoid attachments with sexual file names (NUDES.VSB) that entice you to execute them.
8. Never accept attachments from strangers in online chat systems such as AOL Instant Messenger.
9. Avoid downloading files from public newsgroups (Usenet news)
10. Don’t trust icons or pictures that are associated with file attachments, like a logo of a well-known software product.
11. INFORMATION SECURITY

Generally speaking, privacy rights are granted (if at all) by specific laws, rules, or regulations. Some of those rights apply in the workplace and some don’t. And even if there is no specific law, a right to privacy can be based on the legal common law concept of having a “reasonable expectation of privacy.” For employers and employees, privacy issues have become increasingly prevalent in the workplace, and with the increased use of electronic resources, privacy at work is even more complex especially with respect to confidential information.

Confidential information that exist in the workplace are things like client records, business planning and forecasting, employee records, and information collected in the course of research and development. With the use of the internet, confidentiality of this information can be compromised.

Workplace confidentiality requires that this information be identified and secured to prevent unauthorized access or release of the information and includes everything from policies on workplace Internet usage to nondisclosure agreements in employee contracts.

SECURING THE INTERNET

The following can be done to secure the internet; protected website, digital certificate, encryption, firewall.

1. Firewalls

The best protection against security threats may be anti-virus software and a firewall.  In the computer world, a firewall is a system that keeps dangerous Internet “flames” away from a private computer network, or LAN. In other words, it prevents unauthorized access to or from a private LAN. One mechanism blocks traffic, another permits traffic.

Why is a Firewall Necessary?

• Lurking on the Internet, there are thieves and troublemakers who want to log in to your private network and start snooping around.
• A firewall provides another layer of network security. Firewalls can’t really protect against viruses, so Anti-virus software and regular updates are still a good idea.

2. Digital Certificate

Digital Certificates are the electronic counterparts to driver licenses, passports and membership cards. You can present a Digital Certificate electronically to prove your identity or your right to access information or services online.

 

Digital Certificates, also known as digital certificates, bind an identity to a pair of electronic keys that can be used to encrypt and sign digital information. A Digital Certificate makes it possible to verify someone’s claim that they have the right to use a given key, helping to prevent people from using phony keys to impersonate other users. Used in conjunction with encryption, Digital Certificates provide a more complete security solution, assuring the identity of all parties involved in a transaction.

 

A Digital Certificate is issued by a Certification Authority (CA) and signed with the CA’s private key.

A Digital Certificate typically contains the:

• Owner’s public key
• Owner’s name
• Expiration date of the public key
• Name of the issuer (the CA that issued the Digital Certificate
• Serial number of the Digital Certificate
• Digital signature of the issuer

 

The most widely accepted format for Digital Certificates is defined by the CCITT X.509 international standard; thus certificates can be read or written by any application complying with X.509. Further refinements are found in the PKCS standards and the PEM standard

3. Encryption

Encryption is the process of scrambling a message so that only the intended recipient can read it. The actual cryptographic process is generally a complicated mathematical formulation, the more complex — the more difficult to break. A key is supplied to the recipient so that they can then decipher the message. Keys for encryption algorithms are described in terms of the number of bits. The higher the number of bits – the more difficult that cryptosystem would be to break.

Encryption can provide a means of securing information. As more and more information is stored on computers or communicated via computers, the need to insure that this information is invulnerable to snooping and/or tampering becomes more relevant. Any thoughts with respect to your own personal information (ie. medical records, tax records, credit history, employment history, etc.) may bring to mind an area in which you DO want, need or expect privacy. As teachers, we are often called upon to handle sensitive student information. We need to have access to student records, but maintain the confidentiality of their information..

Encryption is seen by many people as a necessary step for commerce on the internet to succeed. Without confidence that net transactions are secure, people are unwilling to trust a site enough to transact any sort of business using it. Encryption may give consumers the confidence they need to do internet business.

Encryption can also provide a means of “message authentication”. The PGP User’s Guide explains, “The sender’s own secret key can be used to encrypt a message thereby signing it. This creates a digital signature of a message…This proves that the sender was the true originator of the message, and that the message has not been subsequently altered by anyone else, because the sender alone possesses the secret key that made that signature.” [2] This prevents forgery of that signed message, and prevents the sender from denying the signature.

E-mail is certainly not secure. While you may believe that the use of a password makes your business private, you should be aware that sending information without encryption has been likened to sending postcards through the mail. Your message is totally open to interception by anyone along the way. You may believe that your personal e-mail is not incriminating and does not contain content that you must keep secret, and you may be right. But there are many common situations, where users have a legitimate need for security both to protect that information and to insure that information is not tampered with: Consumers placing orders with credit cards via the Internet, journalists protecting their sources, therapists protecting client files, businesses communicating trade secrets to foreign branches, ATM transactions, political dissenters, or whistle-blowers — all are examples of why encryption may be needed for e-mail or data files, and why it might be necessary to create a secure environment through its use.

Search engines are programmes that search documents for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found. A search engine is really a general class of programmes; however, the term is often used to specifically describe systems

Typically, Web search engines work by sending out a spider to fetch as many documents as possible. Another programme, called an indexer, then reads these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document. Each search engine uses a proprietary algorithm to create its indices such that, ideally, only meaningful results are returned for each query.

How is document relevancy determined?

Once a search engine has found documents in its database that relate to your input, it will list them according to their relevance. The questions is now, how is this relevancy determined? The algorithm, a list of procedures and factors, is different from company to company. Sometimes they are described on the search engines pages, but mostly they are kept behind the curtain.

TYPES OF SEARCH ENGINES

 

Type	Search Engine	Description
All-Purpose Search Engines		Google – The world’s most popular search engine.
		Bing Search: Microsoft’s entry into the burgeoning search engine market. Better late than never.
		Yahoo! Search: The 2nd largest search engine on the web (as defined by a September 2007 Nielsen Netratings report.
		AltaVista: Launched in 1995, built by researchers at Digital Equipment Corporation’s Western Research Laboratory. From 1996 powered Yahoo! Search, since 2003 – Yahoo technology powers AltaVista.
		Cuil: Cuil was a search engine website (pronounced as Cool) developed by a team of ex-Googlers and others from Altavista and IBM. Cuil, termed as the ‘Google Killer’ was launched in July, 2008 and claimed to be world’s largest search engine, indexing three times as many pages as Google and ten times that of MS. Now defunct.
		Excite: Now an Internet portal, was once one of the most recognized brands on the Internet. One of the famous 90’s dotcoms.
		Go.com: The Walt Disney Group’s search engine is now also an entire portal. Family-friendly!
		HotBot was one of the early Internet search engines (since 1996) launched by Wired Magazine. Now, just a front end for Ask.com and MSN.
		AllTheWeb: Search tool owned by Yahoo and using its database, but presenting results differently.
		Galaxy: More of a directory than a search engine. Launched in 1994, Galaxy was the first searchable Internet directory. Part of the Einet division at the MCC Research Consortium at the University of Texas, Austin
		search.aol: Now powered by Google.
		Live Search (formerly Windows Live Search and MSN Search) Microsoft’s web search engine, designed to compete with Google and Yahoo!. Included as part of the Internet Explorer web browser.
		Lycos: Initial focus was broadband entertainment content, still a top 5 Internet portal and the 13th largest online property according to Media Metrix.
		GigaBlast was developed by an ex-programmer from Infoseek. Gigablast supports nested Boolean search logic using parenthesis and infix notation. A unique search engine, it indexes over 10 billion web pages.
		Alexa Internet: A subsidiary of Amazon known more for providing website traffic information. Search was provided by Google, then Live Search, now in-house applications run their own search.

 

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SEARCH ENGINES

There are three very compelling advantages of most search engines.

1. The indexes of search engines are usually vast, representing significant portions of the Internet, offering a wide variety and quantity of information resources.
2. The growing sophistication of search engine software enables us to precisely describe the information that we seek.
3. The large number and variety of search engines enriches the Internet, making it at least appear to be organized.

 

On the other hand, disadvantages

1. Regardless of the growing sophistication, many well thought-out search phrases produce list after list of irrelevant web pages. The typical search still requires sifting through dirt to find the gems.
2. Using search engines does involve a learning curve. Many beginning Internet users, because of these disadvantages, become discouraged and frustrated.

A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources. A web browser can also be defined as an application software or programme designed to enable users to access, retrieve and view documents and other resources on the Internet.

Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by web servers in private or files in file systems. The major web browsers are;

• Firefox,
• Google Chrome,
• Internet Explorer,
• Opera, and
• Safari

FEATURES OF A WEB BROWSER

Outlined below are the main features of Microsoft Internet Explorer and what they do, your web browser may be slightly different from Microsoft Internet Explorer but the main features are likely to be the same.

The Browser Window

The above screenshot shows the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser window – the main part of the window is taken up by the web page. If you wish to learn how to navigate around a web page please visit the Navigation section of this tutorial.

The web browser has various tools located above the displayed web page, these are known as Toolbars, there are additional tools available on the left hand side of the browser called the Explorer bar, and at the bottom of the web page is the status bar.

We will start by looking at the tool-bars, as you will see when looking at the toolbars there operation is inter-linked with the Explorer bar.

1. Menu Bar

The Menu bar is normally located at the very top of the web browser, as you can see it has various sections – File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools and Help, when you left click on each of these sections a drop down menu appears enabling you to do various actions as follows. (Note that not all functions are mentioned – some functions are not normally required when navigating the world wide web – however the major functions are all discussed.)

2. File – The file menu deals with the current open document, from here you can open a new document such as another web page, save the web page, alter the page set-up, print the web page, send the web page by email and find out the properties of the web page.

3. Edit – The edit page enables you to copy details from a web page to your clipboard (The clipboard saves the details so you can paste the copied material into another document). The edit section also allows you to find (on this page) – this allows you to look for a certain word on a web page.

4. View – The view section enables you to change some browser settings; you can select what toolbars you wish to display. For example you can decide not to show the radio toolbar if you don’t use it. From this section you can also amend the text size of the web page.

5. Favorites – From here you can create a list of favourite web sites, the chances are that your Internet Service Provider has already given you a starting list of web sites; If you wish to add more to your favorites you can do it simply in this section.

6. Tools – The tools section provides some other useful tools, one of the most important sections here is the Internet Options – from this area you can control your security settings.

7. Help – The help sections gives you various help functions and version details.

 

8. Standard Buttons

The next toolbar is the Standard Buttons toolbar and it should look like the above. Going from Left to Right the functions are:-

9. Left pointing arrow– This will move you to the web page previously visited, if you select the down arrow next to this a list will appear of the previously visited pages – you are able to select any of these pages.
10. Right Pointing arrow– This will move you forward a web page if you have moved back.
11. The X button– This will stop the current web page from being downloaded.
12. The Revolving Arrows– This will download the current web page again, in case it has not download properly or it may have been updated (EG A page displaying latest sports scores)
13. The Picture of a House– This will take you to your home page.
14. The Favorites button– This will open the Explorer bar to the left of the web browser – the explorer bar will contain your favourites.
15. History– This will open the History of the browser in the Explorer bar. It will include previously visited web sites to enable you to go back to them.
16. The Address Bar

The address bar details what page on the Web or even your local computer is being displayed. The address bar is the quickest way to navigate to a website if you know the website address. Simply type in the address and click the go button.

17. The Links Bar

The Links Bar operates similar to your favorites option and provides a direct link to some websites – management of the links bar can be controlled through the favorites drop down menu.

The Radio Bar

The Radio Bar allows you to access online radio stations and play music through the internet.

So that is what basically makes up a web browser, as mentioned early there is also a status bar, this is located at the bottom of the web page and currently you should be able to read text that says “Happy Online”. The status bar can display various messages; it is most useful when you are following links on a web page. As you know when you point at a link your mouse pointer changes to a hand, if you look at the status bar the web address where the link goes should appear. (However be careful web programmemers can code the status bar to do other things!)

IMPORTANCE OF WEB BROWSERS

The following are the benefits of web browsers

1. Speed

A browser should be able to quickly load WebPages, no matter how dynamic the content. “Over 65% of today’s Web content is made up of images and videos. Over 35 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute. This is a far cry from text-based Web pages of the past. As the web becomes more interactive, so should the browser evolve to handle the increased amount of data going through it.”

Speed and stability is particularly important for people given their Internet activities. According to a research, People engage in heavy web applications, as 99% watch videos online, 61% upload videos, and 85% upload photos. The study, which conducted the survey in 30 countries, cited that Filipinos are on the top of online photo, video sharing, and social networking activities.

2. Simplicity

A browser should also be simple and easy to use. It shouldn’t take up a lot of screen space, which would be better saved for the Web page a user is actually trying to view. Google Chrome, for instance, has stripped away everything but the bare minimum in order to let users focus on web content and not on the browser itself.

 

3. Security

Browsers should also be very secure, as malware is a constant threat on the Internet. There are two ways browsers can mitigate this. A browser can keep itself up to date with the latest security patches without having to rely on a user to download these patches every time vulnerability needs to be addressed. With Google Chrome, for instance, a user always gets the latest version on his machine, automatically.

We shall now look at some of the popular terms relating to the internet.

1. THE WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW)

The World Wide Web (“WWW” or simply the “Web”) is a global information medium which users can read and write via computers connected to the Internet. The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet itself, but the Web is a service that operates over the Internet, just as e-mail also does.

The WWW was built on the technology called Hypertext. This technology increases accessibility to linked documents on the Internet and helps user to navigate between documents very easily. Hypertext is identified by underlined text and a different colour usually. Some places will refer to this types of technique as Jump-Off Points. Hypertext can make links within the same document or to other documents.

 

Each time one access a new document by choosing a link, there is a connection made with the web server that the document is on. Once the appropriate document is retrieved the connection is broken. There is no point in maintaining the link while you are viewing it. This is one reason why the WWW is so efficient.

WWW lets you search, traverse, and use many types of information at numerous sites and in multiple forms. This interface is called a browser. Some people refer to a browser as a ‘web browser’ often these terms are used interchangeably.

 

The WWW is intended to help people share information resources, and services with the widest possible community of users. Thus a user can access the WWW on Apple, UNIX, Macintosh, DOS, Windows, and other operating systems.

 

Just like the Internet, the WWW has a protocol, which is known as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). HTTP acts as an interface between a Web Client Software, such Netscape Navigator.

A major advantage of the WWW is that it also supports TCP/IP services, such as Gopher, FTP, and Archie in addition to HTTP.

2. UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR (URL)

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) it is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. The first part of the URL is called a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located. The protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) was developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1994 and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) URI working group.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domainpcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a Web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:

 

 

A URL is one type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI); the generic term for all types of names and addresses that refer to objects on the World Wide Web.

The term “Web address” is a synonym for a URL that uses the HTTP / HTTPS protocol.

Every web page on the Internet has its own unique web address. A web address is split into 3 parts:

http://	www.sanscrip.com	/training/compform.htm

1. Protocol: this tells Internet Explorer the type of transmission it is dealing with – httpstands for hypertext transfer protocol. If you open a file from your hard disk, the protocol part with show file:// instead.
2. Domain name: this is the name of the web site where the web page resides – most companies have their own domain name these days.

• Page address: this identifies the actual file that is displayed.

Useful Tip

Every web site has a page that is called the index page. If you omit the page address, the Home page for that particular web site is displayed. If no page address is shown in the Address bar, you are viewing the index page of a web site.

3. HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL (HTTP)

Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) is a communications protocol that transfers information on intranets and the World Wide Web to retrieve and publish hypertext pages. The hypertext transfer protocol is in place to send out the message that a particular web browser is looking for the particular web page at the address that follows the HTTP in the address bar of the web browser window. Yet the actual process of HTTP and the request it makes is much more complicated than what any visitor to a website actually sees.

When the HTTP goes out, it is a response or request protocol between a client and a server to access a certain resource, which may be a web page or other graphic stored in the server as files. The client can be a number of things, such as a web browser, a search engine spider, or any other end-user tool, while the server is a storage area for a particular set of HTML files and images. The user agent, as the client is called, uses the hypertext transfer protocol to communicate with the server, which is also called the origin server. Between the user agent and the origin server there may also be many intermediary processes such as proxies, gateways, and tunnels, all of which work together to finish the transfer of information to the end user. The HTTP request sends a URL to the server for a file (a web page, an image, or another type of file) stored there. The URL is then sent back to the end user.

4. INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (ISP)

ISP refers to a company that provides Internet services, including personal and business access to the Internet. For a monthly fee, the service provider usually provides a software package, username, password and access phone number. Equipped with a modem, a user can then log on to the Internet and browse the World Wide Web and USENET, and send and receive e-mail. For broadband access you typically receive the broadband modem hardware or pay a monthly fee for this equipment that is added to your ISP account billing.

In addition to serving individuals, ISPs also serve large companies, providing a direct connection from the company’s networks to the Internet. ISPs themselves are connected to one another through Network Access Points (NAPs). ISPs may also be called IAPs (Internet Access Providers).

 

5. FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL (FTP)

File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is a protocol used for transferring files from one computer to another – typically from your computer to a web server. FTP is the preferred method of exchanging files because it’s faster than other protocols like HTTP or POP. If you need to exchange large files, you should consider FTP.

FTP data is sent and received through computer port 21 and under the TCP protocol. The transfer is asynchronous, meaning not at the same time and therefore faster than other protocols.

Objectives of FTP are:

• to promote sharing of files (computer programmes and/or data),
• to encourage indirect or implicit (via programmes) use of remote computers,
• to shield a user from variations in file storage systems among hosts, and
• To transfer data reliably and efficiently.

6. HYPERLINK

A hyperlink is a word, phrase, or image that you can click on to jump to a new document or a new section within the current document. Hyperlinks are found in nearly all Web pages, allowing users to click their way from page to page. Text hyperlinks are often blue and underlined, but don’t have to be. When you move the cursor over a hyperlink, whether it is text or an image, the arrow should change to a small hand pointing at the link. When you click it, a new page or place in the current page will open.

Hyperlinks, often referred to as just “links,” are common in Web pages, but can be found in other hypertext documents. These include certain encyclopedias, glossaries, dictionaries, and other references that use hyperlinks. The links act the same way as they do on the Web, allowing the user to jump from page to page. Basically, hyperlinks allow people to browse information at hyperspeed.

Hyperlink

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. It is often used to upload web pages and other documents from a private development machine to a public web-hosting server. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.[1] FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. For secure transmission that hides (encrypts) your username and password, as well as encrypts the content, you can try using a client that uses SSH File Transfer Protocol. The first FTP client applications were interactive command-line tools, implementing standard commands and syntax. Graphical user interfaces have since been developed for many of the popular desktop operating systems in use today,[2][3] including general web design programmes like Microsoft Expression Web, and specialist FTP clients such as CuteFTP.

7. INTERNET CACHE

The Internet Cache Protocol (ICP) is a protocol used for coordinating web caches. Its purpose is to find out the most appropriate location to retrieve a requested object from in the situation where multiple caches are in use at a single site. The goal is to use the caches as efficiently as possible, and to minimize the number of remote requests to the originating server.

. COOKIES

A cookie is information that a Web site puts on your hard disk so that it can remember something about you at a later time. (More technically, it is information for future use that is stored by the server on the client side of a client/server communication.) Typically, a cookie records your preferences when using a particular site. Using the Web’s Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), each request for a Web page is independent of all other requests. For this reason, the Web page server has no memory of what pages it has sent to a user previously or anything about your previous visits. A cookie is a mechanism that allows the server to store its own information about a user on the user’s own computer. You can view the cookies that have been stored on your hard disk (although the content stored in each cookie may not make much sense to you). The location of the cookies depends on the browser. Internet Explorer stores each cookie as a separate file under a Windows subdirectory.

Cookies are commonly used to rotate the banner adverts that a site sends so that it doesn’t keep sending the same adverts as it sends you a succession of requested pages. They can also be used to customise pages for you based on your browser type or other information you may have provided the Web site. Web users must agree to let cookies be saved for them, but, in general, it helps Web sites to serve users better.

A Brief History of the Internet

In 1969, the US Department of Defense started a project to allow researchers and military personnel to communicate with each other in an emergency. The project was called ARPAnet and it is the foundation of the Internet.

Throughout the 1970’s, what would later become the Internet was developed. While mostly military personnel and scientists used it in its early days, the advent of the World Wide Web in the early 1990’s changed all that.

Today, the Internet is not owned or operated by any one entity. This worldwide computer network allows people to communicate and exchange information in new ways.

According to www.commerce.net, in April of 1999, there were 92.2 million Internet users over the age of 16 in the United States and Canada. By 2005, it is predicted 75% of the total US population will be online.

INTERNET IN SOUTH AFRICA

The Internet in South Africa commenced when the first sustainable e-mail link was established in 1988 between Rhodes University in Grahamstown and a private home in Portland, Oregon.⁴⁸ This link was later connected to the Internet. At about the same time the Foundation for Research and Development started the Universities Network (Uninet). Before that, around 1986, there were two networks between South African universities: one between Rhodes University, the University of Cape Town and the University of Natal in the south, and another between Potchefstroom University, Wits, the University of Pretoria and the CSIR in the north.

Other universities soon joined as a result of Uninet and later the two networks were connected to each other. But in 1989 access to the world-wide Internet was restricted because of the political situation in South Africa.

WHAT IS THE INTERNET?

The Internet is the largest computer network in the world, connecting millions of computers. A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked together.

BENEFITS OF THE INTERNET

There are many advantages of using the Internet, such as :

• Global Audience

Content published on the World Wide Web is immediately available to a global audience of users. This makes the World Wide Web a very cost-effective medium to publish information. Reaching more than 300 countries.

• Operates 24 hours, 7  days  a week

The internet is accessible 24 hours a day. Meaning a user does not have to wait until it’s available. The fact that the Internet is operational at all times makes it the most efficient business machine to date.

 

• Relatively Inexpensive

It is relatively inexpensive to publish and retrieve information on the Internet. At a fraction of the cost to publish information by traditional methods, various organisations and individuals can now distribute information to millions of users. It costs only a few thousand rands to establish an Internet presence and publish content on the Internet.

 

• Product Advertising

The World Wide Web can be used to advertise various products. Before purchasing a product, customers will be able to look up various product specification sheets and find out additional information. That is, the beauty of the Web is that it allows customers to explore products in as much detail as they desire. If the client just wants a general overview, he or she can look at the advertising information. For those wanting more in depth information, you can provide white papers and product descriptions for download. The Web allows a business to provide timely information, you can simply place the information on the Web page and it is available immediately for your customers.

 

• Online Surveys

Traditional methods of performing surveys are often relatively slow and expensive compared to online surveys conducted on the Internet. For example, in order to fill out various needs of customers or what they would like to see in a future product, it’s often necessary to compile a list of address and mail a questionnaire to many customers. The success of such an attempt is not always guaranteed and can be very costly in terms of mailing the questionnaires and entering responses to a databases and analyzing it. On the other hand, you can use the World Wide Web to automate the whole process.

 

• Announcements
  With the World Wide Web, you can distribute various announcements to millions of users in a timely manner. Because there is virtually no time lag from the time it takes to publish information to making the information available to users, the Web is an ideal medium to publicize announcements. As more people discover the virtues of the Web and get connected to the Internet, the Web will become the medium of choice for many organizations and individuals to publicize various announcements.

 

• Multimedia
  The capability to incorporate multimedia into Web pages is a major advantage of using World Wide Web. For example, many Web sites use sounds and video clips to make the content easier and more interesting to browse.

 

• Formatting Capabilities

Content published on the World Wide Web can be richly formatted by using various HTML tags and graphic formats. The capability to do this is a major reason for the success of the World Wide Web. In addition to using HTML tags and various multimedia formats in Web pages, various interactive controls can also be added to a web page. This capability allows Web  site content developers to create “active” Web sites. For example, before a user sends some information to a Web server for processing, a VBScript or JavaScript subroutine can be used to verify  information typed in by the user. Various formatting capabilities,  along with technologies such as Java and VBScript, make the World Wide Web a richly interactive medium that you can use to distribute information to millions of users.

 

DISADVANTAGES OF THE INTERNET

There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of Internet that can be summarized as:

• Personal Information: If you use the Internet, your personal information such as your name, address, etc. can be accessed by other people. If you use a credit card to shop online, then your credit card information can also be ‘stolen’ which could be similar to giving someone a blank check.
• Pornography: This is a very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children use the Internet.
• Spamming: This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system.
• Virus Threat: Most of the viruses came from the internet so be very careful when visiting or downloading from a site.
• This world is fast moving and changing at a lightning speed. With the internet and social media, people are connected with each other in a way they never were before. This has also led to changes in our way of life, and it’s really fascinating to observe how these changes are taking place.

  The internet is a network of computers that uses specific protocols to share data and information. The user can access this network by connecting to a server through the modem or by installing specific software on their device. The easiest way to explain how this works is by comparing the internet to roads and highways. Modem and software are like your car and navigation system, while the server is like a toll booth or a road sign indicating the name of the exit.
