Week 6 - Networking

Networking is a large part of communicating with people. This week in lab we talked about how people connect networks and how networks are responsible for transferring information from one person or system to another.
This will be very useful in my project because the phone company network will need to communicate with each different bank and maintain a stable network system. Cell Phones already have built in antennas that allow for signals to be received and sent out to towers/ receivers that then transfer the information to the appropriate receivers so that the correct person or place will have the message.
Networking between the immediate user and the bank will need to be maintained constantly so that banks security system's can monitor activity from each transaction and immediately notify the owner or activity that may or may not be fraudulent.
This will be incorporated to my project by using SSL or FTP. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, which will insure that files that are encrypted are secure and transferred in a timely manner. In other words, when someone transfers large amounts of money, or makes a large transaction the details of that will be protected. An FTP stands for File transfer Protocol, which basically ensures that before any file is transferred if must match all requirements and follow a procedure to make sure it is secure.
