A Three-Party HTTP Proxy to Support Internet Content Regulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
From 1st January 2000, Internet Service Providers in Australia have been required to filter web traffic content. The Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) publishes a list of banned web sites and ISPs must enforce this ban. Enforcing Internet content regulation is a security issue: ISPs need to be able to verify the authenticity of a distributed banned list, enforcement will most likely be performed by a security component, and enforcement must be integrated with other security functions. This paper examines these issues, and more specifically reviews the modifications required to the TIS http-gw proxy to support Internet content regulation.

متن کاملC-HTTP - The Development of a Secure, Closed HTTP-based Network on the Internet
We have designed "C-HTTP" which provides secure HTTP communication mechanisms within a closed group of institutions on the Internet, where each member is protected by its own firewall. C-HTTP-based communications are made possible by the following three components: a clientside proxy, a server-side proxy and a C-HTTP name server. A client-side proxy and server-side proxy communicate with each o...
