Abstract:
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution over the past two decades has been facilitated
multimedia data transfer over commonly available public domain open channel networks. Such public domain network
environment is open to all across the world and thus necessitates security measures to ensure multimedia data confidentiality,
authenticity, and integrity to the intended recipient. Organizations of all sizes want secure network connectivity to their
business data and applications. The need to connect and collaborate with partners, customers, and remote/mobile employees
anytime and anywhere has expanded network connectivity requirements beyond traditional wired LANs to include dial-up
remote access, virtual private networks (VPNs), as well as Wi-fi, WiMAX and other wireless networks. This paper discuss the
commonly used Windows operating systems for enabling superior access to the open networks and other related issues like
security, management complexity, and cost.
