Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Security Technology: Firewalls and
VPNs
If you think technology can solve your security problems,
then you don’t understand the problems and you don’t
understand the technology.
BRUCE SCHNEIER, AMERICAN CRYPTOGRAPHER,
COMPUTER SECURITY SPECIALIST, AND WRITER
Lesson 2 – Application
Layer Firewall
2. Learning Objectives
• Upon completion of this material, you should be
able to:
– Discuss the important role of access control in
computer-based information systems, and identify
and discuss widely used authentication factors
– Describe firewall technology and the various
approaches to firewall implementation
– Identify the various approaches to control remote
and dial-up access by authenticating and authorizing
users
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 2
3. Learning Objectives (cont’d)
– Discuss content filtering technology
– Describe virtual private networks and discuss the
technology that enables them
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 3
4. Application Layer Firewall
• Frequently installed on a dedicated computer; also
known as a proxy server
• Since proxy server is often placed in unsecured
area of the network (e.g., DMZ), it is exposed to
higher levels of risk from less trusted networks.
• Additional filtering routers can be implemented
behind the proxy server, further protecting internal
systems.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 4
5. Firewall Processing Modes (cont’d)
• MAC layer firewalls
– Designed to operate at media access control
sublayer of network’s data link layer
– Make filtering decisions based on specific host
computer’s identity
– MAC addresses of specific host computers are
linked to access control list (ACL) entries that
identify specific types of packets that can be sent to
each host; all other traffic is blocked.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 5
7. Firewall Processing Modes (cont’d)
• Hybrid firewalls
– Combine elements of other types of firewalls, that is,
elements of packet filtering and proxy services, or of
packet filtering and circuit gateways
– Alternately, may consist of two separate firewall
devices; each a separate firewall system, but
connected to work in tandem
– Enables an organization to make security
improvement without completely replacing existing
firewalls
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 7
8. Firewall Architectures
• Firewall devices can be configured in several
network connection architectures.
• Best configuration depends on three factors:
– Objectives of the network
– Organization’s ability to develop and implement
architectures
– Budget available for function
• Four common architectural implementations of
firewalls: packet-filtering routers, dual-homed
firewalls (bastion hosts), screened host firewalls,
screened subnet firewalls
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 8
9. Firewall Architectures (cont’d)
• Packet-filtering routers
– Most organizations with Internet connection have a
router at the boundary between internal networks
and external service provider.
– Many of these routers can be configured to reject
packets that the organization does not allow into its
network.
– Drawbacks include a lack of auditing and strong
authentication.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 9
10. Firewall Architectures (cont’d)
• Bastion hosts
– Commonly referred to as sacrificial host, as it stands
as sole defender on the network perimeter
– Contains two network interface cards (NICs): one
connected to external network, one connected to
internal network
– Implementation of this architecture often makes use
of network address translation (NAT), creating
another barrier to intrusion from external attackers.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 10
13. Firewall Architectures (cont’d)
• Screened host firewalls
– Combines packet-filtering router with separate,
dedicated firewall such as an application proxy
server
– Allows router to prescreen packets to minimize
traffic/load on internal proxy
– Requires external attack to compromise two
separate systems before attack can access internal
data
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 13
15. Firewall Architectures (cont’d)
• Screened subnet firewall (with DMZ)
– Is the dominant architecture used today
– Commonly consists of two or more internal bastion
hosts behind packet-filtering router, with each host
protecting a trusted network:
• Connections from outside or untrusted network are
routed through external filtering router.
• Connections from outside or untrusted network are
routed into and out of routing firewall to separate the
network segment known as DMZ.
• Connections into trusted internal network are allowed
only from DMZ bastion host servers.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 15
18. Firewall Architectures (cont’d)
• Screened subnet performs two functions:
– Protects DMZ systems and information from outside
threats
– Protects the internal networks by limiting how
external connections can gain access to internal
systems
• Another facet of DMZs: extranets
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 18
19. Firewall Architectures (cont’d)
• SOCKS servers
– SOCKS is the protocol for handling TCP traffic via a
proxy server.
– A proprietary circuit-level proxy server that places
special SOCKS client-side agents on each
workstation
– A SOCKS system can require support and
management resources beyond those of traditional
firewalls.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 19
20. Selecting the Right Firewall
• When selecting the firewall, consider a number of
factors:
– What firewall technology offers right balance between
protection and cost for the needs of organization?
– Which features are included in the base price and
which are not?
– Ease of setup and configuration? How accessible are
staff technicians who can configure the firewall?
– Can firewall adapt to organization’s growing network?
• Second most important issue is cost.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 20
21. Configuring and Managing Firewalls
• The organization must provide for the initial
configuration and ongoing management of firewall(s).
• Each firewall device must have its own set of
configuration rules regulating its actions.
• Firewall policy configuration is usually complex and
difficult.
• Configuring firewall policies is both an art and a
science .
• When security rules conflict with the performance of
business, security often loses.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 21
22. Configuring and Managing Firewalls
(cont’d)
• Best practices for firewalls
– All traffic from the trusted network is allowed out.
– Firewall device is never directly accessed from public
network.
– Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) data are allowed
to pass through firewall.
– Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) data are denied
– Telnet access to internal servers should be blocked.
– When Web services are offered outside the firewall, HTTP
traffic should be blocked from reaching internal networks.
– All data not verifiably authentic should be denied.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 22
23. Configuring and Managing Firewalls
(cont’d)
• Firewall rules
– Firewalls operate by examining data packets and
performing comparison with predetermined logical
rules.
– The logic is based on a set of guidelines most
commonly referred to as firewall rules, rule base, or
firewall logic.
– Most firewalls use packet header information to
determine whether specific packet should be allowed
or denied.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 23
27. Content Filters
• Software filter—not a firewall—that allows
administrators to restrict content access from within a
network
• Essentially a set of scripts or programs restricting
user access to certain networking protocols/Internet
locations
• Primary purpose to restrict internal access to external
material
• Most common content filters restrict users from
accessing non-business Web sites or deny incoming
spam.
Principles of Information Security, Fifth Edition 27
28. Protecting Remote Connections
• Installing Internetwork connections requires leased
lines or other data channels; these connections are
usually secured under the requirements of a formal
service agreement.
• When individuals seek to connect to an
organization’s network, a more flexible option must
be provided.
• Options such as virtual private networks (VPNs)
have become more popular due to the spread of
Internet.
