Which of the following characteristics of an email message should cause suspicion? No Subject line
Where would you enter the email address for a person whom you do not want the recipient to know you are including with the message? Bcc: line
What is an IP address and where I can find the IP address for my computer? An IP address is a unique number identification assigned to each computer, server, or device connected to the Internet. To find your IP address, go to Google and type ” what is my IP.”
An IP addressis a unique identification number assigned to each computer, server, or device connected to the Internet. A typical IP address is expressed as a series of numbers separated by decimal points, such as 197. 169. 73. 63, and is called a dotted decimal number. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is responsible for allocating IP addresses to network administrators. To find your IP address, go Google and type ” what is my IP.”
2. Does the IP address remain the same or can it change automatically? The IP address changes automatically if your computer has a dynamic IP address. A dynamic IP address is a temporary IP address and is assigned by your ISP when your computer connects to the Internet.
Dynamic addressingis a temporary IP address assigned to you by your ISP from an available pool of IP addresses. It is assigned by the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) each time you log on to the Internet. IP addresses can also be assigned statically. Static addressing means that the IP address for a computer never changes and is most likely assigned manually by a network administrator.
Is there an alternative to remembering IP addresses? Yes, you can use a domain name. A domain name is simply a name that takes the place of an IP address, making it easier to remember.
A domain nameis simply a name that takes the place of an IP address, making it easier for people to remember it. Yahoo. com and Aol. com are domain names. Domains are organized by level. The portion of the domain name after the dot is the top-level domain (TLD), such as . com. Within the top-level domain are many second-level domains, such as Amazon. com and Microsoft. com.
But how do computers get the IP address from a domain name? Computers consult the domain name system (DNS) server. The DNS server contains a mapping of domain names with their corresponding IP addresses.
When you enter a domain name into a web browseryour computer converts the domain name into an IP address by consulting a database maintained on a DNS server, which functions like a phone book for the Internet. Your ISP’s web server has a default DNS server that it goes to when it needs to translate a domain name into an IP address. Your ISP or network administrator defines the default DNS server.
What if the ISP’s web server cannot locate the IP information on the default DNS server? The default DNS server contacts one of the DNS servers. A root DNS server knows the location of all the DNS servers that contain the master listings for an entire top-level domain.
The default DNS servercontacts one of the root DNS servers. A root DNS server knows the location of all the DNS servers that contain the master listings for an entire top-level domain. Your ISP’s default DNS server receives the information from the master DNS server. It then stores that information for further reference and passes it on to the ISP web server as well as communicates the appropriate IP address to your computer.
When my friend connects to my computer, how is data transferred? Computers communicate efficiently using the communication methodology called packet switching.
Packet switchingis the communications methodology that makes computer communication efficient. In packet switching, data is broken into smaller chunks called packets, which are sent over various routes at the same time. Packet switching doesn’t require that a dedicated communications circuit be maintained.
If data is broken into chunks and sent over various routes at the same time, how do these packets reach their destination? The packets contain destination information and are reassembled when they all reach the destination.
The packetscontain destination information and are reassembled when they reach the destination. Packet contents vary depending on the protocol being followed. At a minimum, all packets must contain an address to which the packet is being sent, the address from where the packet originates, reassembling instructions if the original data was split between packets, and the data that is being transmitted.
How do packets travel through the Internet? Packets are routed using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). TCP/IP is a suite of protocols used to route packets over the Internet.
TCP/IPis a suite of protocols used to route packets over the Internet, not encrypt files. The suite is named after the original two protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). The suite actually comprises many protocols like user datagram protocol (UDP), file transfer protocol (FTP), Telnet, hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), secure HTTP (S-HTTP), and simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP).
circuit switchingA dedicated connection is formed between two points (such as two people on telephones), and the connection remains active for the duration of the transmission.
classless interdomain routing (CIDR)Because the unique IP addressing system offers only a fixed number of IP addresses, a different addressing scheme known as classless interdomain routing (CIDR) allows a single IP address to represent several unique IP addresses by adding a network prefix (a slash and a number) to the end of the last octet.
computer protocolA set of rules for exchanging electronic information.
connectionless protocolDoes not require any type of connection to be established or maintained between two computers that are exchanging information.
connection-oriented protocolRequires two computers to exchange control packets, thereby setting up the parameters of the data exchange session, before sending packets that contain data.
domain nameSimply a name that takes the place of an IP address, making it easier for people to remember.
dotted decimal number (or dotted quad)A typical IP address is expressed as follows: 197. 169. 73. 63
DNS (domain name system)When you enter the URL in your browser, your computer must convert the URL to an IP address. To do this, your computer consults a database that is maintained on a DNS (domain name system) server that functions like a phone book for the Internet.
dynamic addressingYour computer is assigned an address from an available pool of IP addresses; more common addressing.
dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)Dynamic addressing is normally handled by the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), which belongs to the TCP/IP protocol suite. DHCP takes a pool of IP addresses and shares them with hosts on the network on an as-needed basis.
handshakingA connection-oriented protocol requires two computers to exchange control packets, thereby setting up the parameters of the data exchange session, before sending packets that contain data. This process is referred to as handshaking.
hexadecimal notationIPv6 uses 8 groups of 16-bit numbers, referred to as hexadecimal notation (hex for short).
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)IP addresses must be registered with the ICANN, which is responsible for allocating IP addresses to network administrators, just as the U. S. Postal Service is responsible for assigning zip codes to geographic areas.
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)The original IP addressing scheme created in the early 1980s.
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)An IP addressing scheme developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to make IP addresses longer, thereby providing more available IP addresses. IPv6 uses 8 groups of 16-bit numbers, referred to as hexadecimal notation (hex for short).
IP addressA unique identification number that defines each computer, service, or other device that connects to the Internet.
negative acknowledgment (NAK)If the packet is unreadable (damaged in transit), then Y sends a negative acknowledgment (NAK) to X, indicating the packet was not received in understandable form. X then retransmits that packet.
network prefixA slash and a number at the end of the last octet. The network prefix identifies how many of the possible 32 bits in a traditional IP address are to be used as the unique identifier, leaving the remaining bits to identify the specific host.
open systemIn an open system, its design would be made public for access by any interested party.
packet (or data packet)With packet switching, data is broken into smaller chunks (each one called a packet or a data packet) that are sent over various routes at the same time.
packet switchingThe communications methodology that makes computer communication efficient.
positive acknowledgment (ACK)Assume that two systems, X and Y, have established a connection. When Y receives a data packet that it can read from X, it sends back a positive acknowledgment (ACK). If X does not receive an ACK in an appropriate period of time, it resends the packet.
proprietary systemThis proprietary or private system model was the norm for Internet protocol.
root DNS serverThere are 13 root DNS servers maintained throughout the Internet. Each root DNS server knows the location of all the DNS servers that contain the master listings for an entire top-level domain.
second-level domainWithin each top-level domain are many second-level domains. A second-level domain needs to be unique within its own top-level domain but not necessarily unique to all top-level domains.
static addressingMeans that the IP address for a computer never changes and is most likely assigned manually by a network administrator or ISP.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP))Main suite of protocols used is TCP/IP. The suite is named after the original two protocols that were developed for the Internet: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP).
three-way handshakeA connection-oriented protocol requires two computers to exchange control packets, thereby setting up the parameters of the data exchange session, before sending packets that contain data. This process is referred to as handshaking. TCP uses a process called a three-way handshake to establish a connection.
user datagram protocol (UDP)The Internet Protocol is responsible only for sending packets on their way. The packets are created by either the TCP or the user datagram protocol (UDP).

What is SMTP? Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) is the protocol responsible for sending e-mail messages from an e-mail client to an e-mail server.
SMTPis the protocol responsible for sending e-mail messages from an e-mail client to an e-mail server of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a company website. Users get their SMTP server information from their ISP when they first set up their e-mail.
What’s an e-mail client and e-mail server? An e-mail client is an e-mailing application (such as Microsoft Outlook) from which an e-mail message is sent, and an e-mail server is a specialized computer that stores, processes, and sends e-mails.
An e-mail clientis not a computer but rather the e-mailing application (such as Microsoft Outlook) from which an e-mail is sent. An e-mail server is not e-mailing software but rather a specialized computer that stores, processes, and sends e-mails. All e-mail has to pass through e-mail servers.
When I attach a file to my e-mail, will SMTP send it to the e-mail server? The multipurpose Internet mail extensions (MIME) protocol is responsible for sending e-mail file attachments.
The multipurpose Internet mail extensions (MIME) protocolis responsible for sending e-mail file attachments. The MIME specification was introduced in 1991 to simplify attachments to e-mail messages. All e-mail client software now uses this protocol for attaching files. E-mail is still being sent in text, but the e-mail client using the MIME protocol now handles the encoding and decoding of e-mail file attachments for users.
Will SMTP keep my e-mails safe? No, SMTP cannot keep your e-mails safe, but there are other security measures like encryption that can keep your e-mails safe.
SMTPcannot keep your e-mails safe. Copies of your e-mail messages may exist temporarily or permanently on numerous servers as they make their way through the Internet. However, two options exist for protecting your sensitive e-mail messages: encryption and secure data transmission software.
How do I perform encryption? You can encrypt messages using private-key encryption. In private-key encryption, only the two parties involved in sending and receiving the message have the code.
In private-key encryptiononly the two parties involved in sending the message (not the server) have the code. This can be a simple shift code where letters of the alphabet are shifted to a new position. The main problem with private-key encryption is key security. If someone steals a copy of the code, the code is broken.
Is there any other safer way to encrypt emails? You can use public-key encryption. In public-key encryption, two keys are created, one key for encoding and the other for decoding.
In public-key encryptiontwo keys are created one key for coding and the other for decoding. The key for coding is generally distributed as a public key. You can place this key on your website, for instance. Anyone wishing to send you a message codes it using your public key. When you receive the message, you use your private key to decode it.
Do instant messaging (IM) services use secure data transmission software to provide security of data exchanged? No, most instant messaging services don’t use secure data transmission software. Hence it is not safe to exchange important data over IM.
Most IM servicesdo not use encryption for IM messages, and the secure data transmission software used on e-mail does not work with IM programs. Therefore, it is not a good idea to send sensitive information using instant messaging because it is susceptible to interception and possible misuse by hackers.
e-mail serversSpecialized computers whose sole function is to store, process, and send e-mail.
encryptionRefers to the process of coding your e-mail so that only the person with the key to the code (the intended recipient) can decode (or decipher) and read the message.
