Abstract
High-speed networking technology and standards have progressed dramatically
in the past few years and much attention is now focused on deployment efforts,
such as the North Carolina Information Highway (NCIH) [7], and applications.
With this shift in emphasis, concerns have been raised about information
security. Examples of abuse of the Internet abound and unfortunately ATM
networks are subject to many of these same abuses. This is of substantial
concern when thinking about extending the reach of public data networking
to broad segments of society.
