To combat cyberattacks, the U.S. may need more than new cyberdefenses. It might need a whole new piece of Internet infrastructure. So says former CIA director Michael Hayden, who served under President G.W. Bush, and he's not the only one. Several lawmakers and the current Cyber Command chief Gen. Keith Alexander are toying with the notion of creating a ".secure" domain where Fourth Amendment rights to privacy are voluntarily foregone in order to keep that corner of the Internet free of cyber criminals.

The proposed solution: a dot-secure safe zone (basically, a separate Internet) where things like financial institutions, sensitive infrastructure, government contractors, and the government itself can hide behind heavier defenses.
Your fourth amendment privacy rights wouldn't apply here, as you would consent to give them up upon entry; as when walking onto a military base or into an airport, users would have to show detailed identification and credentials to get in. Those who want to remain anonymous on the Web can still frolic about in the world of dot-com, but in the dot-secure realm you would have to prove you are you.

Please understand that I'm an older lady; I have little computer savvy. I can operate one, but cannot do anything "fancy", I don't know the meaning of a lot of computer jargon, etc. That being said, several months ago, my small-town local bank was trying to talk me into doing more banking on the Internet, getting online statements, etc. As most are aware, there's been talk for some time that "the internet could go down" (for various reasons). I shared my concern with her that if the internet went down, then how could I access my account, etc. She told me that banks have their own internet. So if banks already have their own internet, do government facilities, as well, already have their own? If so, why would the "normal" (what everyday people use) internet need changed? Or am I totally misunderstanding the whole concept??
