The Cyberspace Electronic Security Act of 1999
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing this still-pending proposal. The White House proposed this act in September 1999, just about the time that the current vice president was claiming responsibility for having created the Internet. No further action had been taken by July 2000, and no legislator had introduced it as a bill in either house of Congress. It appears that the administration has abandoned the notion of seeing CESA enacted into law. Given the limitations of the proposed legislation, observers can conclude that legislation is best left to the legislators, rather than to the Executive branch of government. Bibliography lists 8 sources in 12 footnotes.

The Dichotomy of Security and Accessibility for E-commerce Traders
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper considers the following statement. "Security in the world of e-commerce is focused on protecting information - information about accounts, credit card numbers, social security numbers, and identities. It is not about hardware or physical access. But there is a built-in paradox; e-Commerce systems must be open enough to be inviting to customers and users, and at the same time the systems must be difficult to penetrate to those who would steal the information. Achieving the balance that satisfies those opposing needs is the challenge of security in the e-Commerce world. Too much security pushes away the people you have invited; too little and valuable information can be stolen". The bibliography cites 7 sources.

The E-Supply Chain and the SME
[ send me this paper ]
A 19 page paper discussing small- and medium-sized enterprises' ability to realize the benefits of supply chain management in the electronic environment. Intuitively, it appears that SMEs likely have greater difficulty in moving to the e-business supply chain model than do their larger counterparts. The purpose here is to assess the statement, "full migration to the e-supply chain platform might not be feasible due to resource constraints and other considerations." The paper concludes that SMEs formerly were at great disadvantage when greater divides between information capabilities existed. As organizations of all sizes migrate toward the same kinds of hardware systems that differ mostly in size rather than ability, SMEs' ability to use and profit from streamlined supply chain management in the electronic environment has increased dramatically. Bibliography lists 25 sources. Includes an abstract.

The Effect Of Giving Children Free Access To The Internet
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. One of the most frightening aspects of giving children free access to the Internet is that many times pornographic sites are reached purely by accident. A child in search of the latest doll or video game will insert the word "toy" into the search engine and inadvertently pull up adult sex toy sites. Whether or not they understand the location to which they have arrived is not the issue; rather, the fact that there are no differentiating criteria to prevent the cross-reference in the first place is what needs to be focused upon. Given a child's inherent curiosity, there would not be too many who would overlook the opportunity to click on a link or two to appease their fascination. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Hacker Community as a Counterculture?
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the question of whether or not the hacker community could be considered a counterculture. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines “counterculture” as “a culture, especially of young people, with values or lifestyles in opposition to those of the established culture”. Jay Michaelson extends the definition further emphasizing that “a counterculture should be more than just a taste in music or clothes – it should be a culture, complete with language, style, ideology (or the explicit rejection of), identity-definers, and mores of social interaction”. A review of the websites available to and referring to hackers often refer to their community as “a shared culture” and in many ways, because of the language, ideology and mores expected of hackers, they could be considered in some ways as a counterculture. However, there are also extreme hacker groups, such as Warez which are more so in “opposition” to accepted culture and more within the definition of a counterculture. The hacker community likes to differentiate the culture of “hackers” from that of “crackers” like Warez. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
