Mulders, Graduate Student, Department of Computer Science, University of Waterloo will speak on ``Network Security: A Review of Measures and Mechanics.'' TIME: 2:30 PM ROOM: DC 1302 ABSTRACT As a growing number of users rely on transferring critical data over computer networks, the need for correct network security becomes more apparent.

Measures for realising a secure network and their corresponding mechanisms are placed within the OSI architectural framework and examined in depth.
