Lilian Edwards' Internet security is big news. According to the latest National Opinion Poll, as of January 2007, almost half of UK citizens still harbour a deep mistrust of the 2 Internet due to security concerns2. The House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology, meanwhile, is currently orchestrating a major enquiry into personal Internet security . Their Lordships observed wisely that With the ever growing use of home computers, the spread of broadband, and the rise in internet banking and commerce the importance of proper internet security measures has never been greater. Issues highlighted include: * What is the nature of the security threat to private individuals and what is the scale of the problem? * How well do the public understand the nature of the threat they face?
