Chapter 6, Problem 1RQ
Explanation of Solution
Firewall:
A firewall is security software which imposes a set of protocols to prevent specific types of data from moving among trusted and untrusted level of networks.
Trusted network and untrusted network:
The untrusted network is the common Internet or another part of public network, while the trusted network is usually a privately owned network or organization’s network.
Relationship among Firewall, trusted network and untrusted network:
- The relationship is that information is only restricted by firewall via particular spaces called “ports”.
- Firewall prevents the untrusted or unwanted network connections from outside, and filters it to the trusted network which lies on the bounds of the firewall to ensure that it’s legitimate.
