Research Priorities in Information and Computer Networks Security in Palestine

Abstract

In Palestine, 44.7% of the population is under 16 with literacy rate of 91.9% over all of the population. More than half of Palestinian youth own computers and have access to the Internet. With such prospect, ensuring information security and spreading awareness of it is one of the main challenges facing researchers on a national level. In this paper, we will identify three challenges which researchers in Palestine can attack. In each one, we will state the motivation, the background and possible outlooks and research directions.
