This group gathers pioneers of computer networking whose primary contribution was securing a network against attack or unauthorized access, including firewalls, intrusion detection, virtual private networks, network-level cryptography and public key infrastructure, and the broader discipline of computer and network security. Their shared work is protecting network traffic and network-connected systems from compromise, as distinct from the protocol or routing work that makes a network function in the first place, which belongs to Internet Protocols and Routing.
