41. The Politics of Canadian Space Communication Programs.

Author

Singh, Indu B. and McDaniel, Drew O.

Abstract

In 1968, the Science Council of Canada recommended that Canada focus its scientific and technological effort on the creation of major programs designed to help solve some of the country's social and economic problems and, specifically, that a space program be initiated. The Canadian decision to become involved in space communication activities was based on domestic, geopolitical, and international considerations. The domestic considerations included a desire for the enhancement of telecommunications facilities in all of Canada, the hope of future economic benefits from the space industry, and the development of national and cultural integration. The geopolitical factors were: the need to enhance regional communications capabilities for the defense of North America, a desire to counter United States mass media infiltration, and the need to occupy radio frequency bands allocated by the International Telecommunications Union before they were taken by the United States. International considerations for the Canadian space program were related to the opportunities for Canadian industries to participate in future international projects. Canadian space contributions have been primarily in the innovative and pragmatic applications of the technology rather than in basic research. (TJ)

Abstract

Drs. Pelton and Singh warn of the increasing risks of cybercrime and lay out a series of commonsense precautions to guard against individual security breaches. This guide clearly explains the technology at issue, the points of weakness, and the best ways to proactively monitor and maintain the integrity of individual networks. Covering both the most common personal attacks of identity fraud, phishing, malware, and breach of access as well as the larger threats against companies and governmental systems, the authors explain the vulnerabilities of the internet age. As more and more of life's transactions take place online, the average computer user and society at large have a lot to lose. All users can take steps to secure their information. Cybercrime is so subtle and hidden, people can ignore the threat until it is too late. Yet today about every three seconds a person is hit by some form of cyberattack out of the blue. Locking the “cyber-barn door” after a hacker has struck is way too late. Cybersecurity, cybercrime, and cyberterrorism may seem to be intellectual crimes that don't really touch the average person, but the threat is real. Demystifying them is the most important step, and this accessible explanation covers all the bases.
