Answer should be original, and similarity (plagiarism) not more than 10% this is very important otherwise I will be in trouble.
Answer should be a clear explanation and should be clear understanding (1000 words).
Answer should be references on Harvard style (Not use Wikipedia) should be Academic Articles or books.
When use citation from any reference please keep it between "citation" (Author,Year),please citation should be not more than 5%
As reference you can use the following book:

Assignment is:
(HW) We have discussed security protocols from IP layer (e.g., IPSec) to application layer (e.g. XML and S/MIME). Network and transport layer security often referred to as a point-point or host-to-host security. Security channels between applications can be defined as an end-to-end security. Discuss differences between point-to-point and end-to-end security models and security problems they address. Are they redundant? Can you properly secure your site using only one of them? What is the drawback of using end-to-end security? Provide examples and arguments to support your viewpoint.
You will find an abundance of materials on this subject within the databases located within IEEE & ACM digital libraries. But don't forget that especially in the Networking technologies RFC's and other related standards are the most authoritative source of information.

Information Security Engineering Seminar for Week 6 Network and Internetworking security, digital content protection Internet security is a fashionable and fast moving field with attacks on the Internet often making the headlines of widely distributed newspapers such as The New York Times. Unfortunately, these reports are often misleading. This week we will be studying security issues related to the Internet - concentrating on protection mechanisms. In particular, we will cover the following topics: the most common attacks, distributed denial of service attacks, intrusion detection, firewalls, IETF security protocols, and XML security. For several sections of this lecture, we will assume that you are familiar with network protocols, e.g. you have taken the CC module, or have some prior knowledge of computer communication. Please also re-read Seminar 1 materials related to the OSI/Internet Security Architecture, security services and mechanisms. The most common attacks Most reported attacks on the Internet fall into the following three categories: software implementation faults such as buffer overflow, protocols failure, and password guess. The textbook lists the Internet’s Top 10 vulnerabilities. Up to now the most important attacks on the Internet have been the Internet Morris worm, SYN flooding, and Distributed Denial of Service attacks (for definitions see Section 18.2.2 in the textbook). In the following, we will briefly describe Distributed Denial of Service Attacks since it is easy to find published information on SYN flooding and the Morris worm in textbooks.
