- The U.S. may want to create a new, more secure Internet infrastructure that would support critical services like banking, suggests former CIA director Michael Hayden.
- The public Web would not be able to access this network making it more secure from the threat of cyberattacks.
- Visitors on the secure network would need certified credentials. There would be no privacy. And network operators could scan traffic content.
- The Obama administration and Congressional lawmakers are working on cybersecurity legislation that would increase oversight of commercial and government networks.
