About the Book
Questioning the Boundary Issues of Internet Security' brings together a convenient empirical research that has attempted to answer these questions. The chapters are chosen for their clarity, relevance, timeliness, and emphasise the connection of Internet technology with the world in which it is used. The human nature has led itself to the Internet, with the belief that whatever and whoever can be reached without thinking of distance and time, at minimum cost and high value for money, but the unlimited wants of our nature and technology advancements have been delimitation to Internet revolution. The principle aim of regulating the Internet is to create a legal framework within which all transactions can be secure and intellectual property rights are protected. The chapters in this book should be accessible to professionals, postgraduate and undergraduate students.
