Abstract
Will the Internet replace private corporation data networks? Thanks to
performance upgrades and new security schemes, it just might.
The idea-once unthinkable because of the Net's unpredictable performace and
lack of security-has become viable thanks to the commercialization of the
Internet backbone and the growing availability of sophisticated encryption
authentication tools.
Two or three years from now if a company is going to set up a wide-area-data-
network, the Internet is going to be its first choice, says Pete Sinclair
president and CEO of Smart Valley Inc., a Santa Clara, Calif., consortium
formed to promote Internet-based electronic commerce in Silicon Valley.
