Introduction
Cybersecurity is among the main concerns of
governments, Internet users, techinical and
business communities. Cyberthreats and
cyberattacks are on the increase, and so is the
extent of the financial loss.
Yet, when the Internet was first invented, security
was not a concern for the inventors. In fact, the
Internet was originally designed for use by a
closed circle of (mainly) academics.
Communication among its users was open.
