NETWORK SECURITY The Internet has a well-known inherent security weakness due to its use of the NFS (Network File System) protocol, which does not have any way of determining whether a file or message has been altered during transmission. But executives at Netscape Communications say they will make changes in the Netscape browser software to allow a recipient of a downloaded program to check to see if it's been tampered with. (New York Times 11 Oct 95 C3) The company has also announced a "Bugs Bounty" program offering $1,000 to the first person who can identify a major security bug in the new beta version of its Netscape browser software.
