Syftet med studien var att få en ökad kunskap om 15-åringars uppfattningar om kränkningar och trakassering på internet och vad de menar kan ha en motverkande effekt på att problemet uppstår. Datainsamling blev genomförd genom fyra fokusgruppintervjuer med 15-åringar från en skola i Sydsverige. Grounded theory användes för analys av intervjuerna. Resultaten teoretiserades ut i från ett genusperspektiv.Resultaten visade att Internet är en given del av ungdomarnas vardag och att kränkningar är vanliga. Både sändaren och mottagaren av en kommentar måste uppfatta den som illa menad för att det skulle vara en kränkning.

This paper deals with the use of Internet at Swedish public libraries. The author asks whether public libraries should or should not limit access to information available on the Internet. Starting from the American discussion, concerning Internet at public libraries, the author shows the Swedish attitudes. The paper demonstrates that many Swedish public libraries have adopted rules forbidding retrieval of certain kinds of information, such as hard-core pornography and racist propaganda. The persons in charge of such actions claim that public libraries should provide high-quality educational literature and should not spread mass-produced, provocative information.

The method used for the collection of empirical data has been semi-structured interviews, preformed with students in a Swedish gymnasium. The data is then interpreted against the theoretical and philosophical background.

Användningen av Internet och antalet nya tjänster ökar mer och mer. Internet är ett öppet system och för att Internet i högre utsträckning skall kunna användas även vid hantering av hemlig information krävs bättre säkerhet.I detta examensarbete undersöks om PKI och smarta kort kan vara en säkerhetslösning som kommer att vara ledande om tio år för säker identifiering, kryptering och signering på Internet.För att sätta in problemområdet i ett vidare perspektiv ges inledningsvis en övergripande bild av dagens informationssamhälle. Det ges även en grundläggande förklaring av viktiga begrepp för ökad förståelsen av rapportinnehållet. I rapporten redovisas även tillvägagångssättet för att samla in material, vilket har utgjorts av telefonintervjuer och dokumentstudier.Resultatet visar att PKI och smarta kort med stor sannolikhet kommer att användas i framtiden för säkrare informationshantering på Internet.
