J. Charzinski: On the Gap between Network Security Research, Realization and Usage Today in research we have solutions for most security problems, theoretically being able to ensure confidentiality, integrity and non-repudiation for all services. In practice, however, although some of the mechanisms have been realized in hardware and software products, most communication on the Internet is not secure. Security features are not implemented, not activated or just ignored by users. Even security-aware users often only have the choice between using services insecurely or not using them at all. This talk will list some of the issues and propose steps for resolving them.
