    The usage of existing Internet architecture is shrouded by various security loopholes and hence is highly ineffective towards resisting potential threats over internet. Hence, it is claimed that future internet architecture has been evolved as a solution to address this security gaps of existing internet architecture. Therefore, this paper initiates its discussion by reviewing the existing practices of web security in conventional internet architecture and has also discussed about some recent solutions towards mitigating potentially reported threats e.g. cross-site scripting, SQL inject, and distributed denial-of-service. The paper has also discussed some of the recent research contribution towards security solution considering future internet architecture. The proposed manuscripts contributes to showcase the true effectiveness of existing approaches with respect to advantages and limitation of existing approaches along with explicit highlights of existing research problems that requires immediate attention

    Securoty and Privacy in a Structured Information Network

    The lack of trust amongst consumers and concerns about disclosing personal information are commonly seen as a major impediment to the growth of e-commerce. This is a consequence of several concerns, e.g. the lack of confidence in contemporary technologies for ensuring security, such as encryption and digital signatures, and distrust regarding the intentions of counterparts. This article describes the different aspects of security and privacy in the contemporary Internet and seeks means for improving both security and privacy. After identifying the fundamental components of Internet security and privacy, a novel software architecture aimed at enhancing these properties is presented. In order to evaluate the architecture, a two-dimensional model for expressing the extent of control in a network is introduced, and the security and privacy exhibited by the architecture is weighed against those in the conventional Internet. The consequences of increasing control in the Internet are also discussed. We conclude that although a new architecture encompassing greater control could be useful in certain areas of the Internet, a traditional uncontrolled area is essential to maintain unconstrained growth and the flexibility that has brought the Internet to where it is today
