Ket : Despite the efforts at international and national level, security continues to pose challenging problems. Firstly, attacks on information systems are increasingly motivated by profit rather than by the desire to create disruption for its own sake. Data are illegally mined, increasingly without the user\'s knowledge, while the number of variants (and the rate of evolution) of malicious software (malware) is increasing rapidly. Spam is a good example of this evolution. It is becoming a vehicle for viruses and fraudulent and criminal activities, such as spyware, phishing and other forms of malware. Its widespread distribution increasingly relies on botnets, i.e. compromised servers and PCs used as relays without the knowledge of their owners. The increasing deployment of mobile devices (including 3G mobile phones, portable videogames, etc.) and mobile-based network services will pose new challenges, as IP-based services develop rapidly. These could eventually prove to be a more common route for attacks than personal computers since the latter already deploy a significant level of security. Indeed, all new forms of communication platforms and information systems inevitably provide new windows of opportunity for malicious attacks.
