Abstract

The growth of information technology (IT) has influenced the national economy, security, health and education, tremendously. The author highlights the impact of IT on defence research and development activities as well as his concern in using commercially available operating systems for accessing information as there exists a possibility of international bugs which will be detrimental to the national security. The author emphasises that appropriate ways and means are to be evolved to take care of this aspect, particularly in the Air Force environment where cryptography with its two components-encryption and decryption will have the dominance.
