Women represent the main economic force in most developing countries. As economies become more and more information-driven, the issues of women's access to and the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) are growing in importance for both developed and developing economies. Some claim that women are rather technophobic and that men are much better users of digital tools while others argue that women enthusiastically embrace digital communication.The ease with which information and communication technologies can transmit and disseminate information for development is well recognized. However, women's access to ICTs cannot be assumed to occur 'naturally' when gender-blind approaches and technologies are implemented. As a result of profound, gendered applications and implications of ICTs in employment, education, training, and other areas of life, women need encouragement and support to take their rightful place in the information revolution. Research has demonstrated that security and privacy in use of ICT, especially in the internet, are the most important thematic areas of gender concerns which include freedom of expression, privacy of communication, and secure online spaces where vulnerable groups such as women feel unsafe from harassment. The main concern that discourages women to enter dynamically into e-business market is the disclosure of their personal information compared with men who appear willing to be sacrificing their privacy at the altar of profit of electronic commerce. The aims of this research are the following: firstly, to present digital threats and risks facing women entrepreneurs daily while interacting with online communities, secondly, to study security gaps that the privacy policies of popular pages contain, and lastly, to give proof that women justifiably worry about their security and privacy when using online communities and virtual worlds, like the social networking sites. It is certain that these pages are insufficient regarding the privacy of their users due to the lack of adequate security measures letting personal data be exposed and available to others.

“…In terms of queueing theory, this is equivalent to considering the time to the first blocked customer in G/D/n/n system with general interarrival times, a constant service time of D = W , and n = m − 1 servers and no waiting places. 1 The actual question is if a "customer" would be blocked during the duration of a flow or not.…”

Requirements for a traffic monitoring system can be very demanding as both privacy and performance aspects have to be taken into account jointly. Moreover, the legislation sets forth strict rules that must also be met. Various cryptographic primitives provide invaluable tools for realising privacy enforcing mechanisms in such a system with respect to the above mentioned goals. In this paper, we consider an arbitrary traffic anomaly detection system consisting of two stages. The first stage pre-processes the monitored traffic with both data rate reduction and privacy protection in mind. The second stage is in charge of the final analysis and storing the relevant information. In particular, the privacy sensitive information is encrypted on per flow basis by the first stage, so that the second stage cannot access any flow without an appropriate key, which is given only when there is a strong reason to do so. In this setting, we study a sliding window type of mechanism for escrowing a secret decryption key from the first stage to the second in response to observing a sufficient number of malicious events within a specified time duration. Given the flow specific key, the second stage can then take a closer look at the corresponding part of the traffic, and decide on further actions. As a result, the privacy of the other users cannot be violated.
