I dagens samhälle finns inbyggda system i allt från vattenkokare till rymdraketer. För att möta användarnas ständigt ökande krav på prestanda och funktionalitet måste hårdvaran i dessa system utnyttjas optimalt.

I många fall kan det vara lämpligt, och i vissa fall även nödvändigt, att blanda dessa metoder för att lösa en given uppgift.

The emphasize of this study is to evaluate security issues for home users having a personal computer connected to the Internet. It focus on the usage of advantages and disadvantages when using a firewall while connected to the Internet. The hypothesis is that it gives a better protection to install and use a firewall compared not to do so, due to security flaws in the operating system. The prediction was tested on a home user's personal computer. The testwork was divided into two major tests, each of them performed with, respectively without, a firewall. These major tests were divided into five smaller semi­ tests. The first semi­test without a firewall suffered from a virus or worm attack resulting in loss of data and log files.

The purpose of this paper is to increase knowledge and understanding of how an identity is constructed on the internet and if it is different from the everyday identity. To analyze this, I have studied the theories of how identity is constructed in everyday life and then applied this on the empirical data that I have collected.
