The word internet comes from INTERconnected NETwork , since it is basically a collection of interconnected . The internet is actually a concept rather than something tangible ( that is , something we can touch ) . It relies on a physical that allows networks and individual devices to to other networks and .

The internet :

Users can and receive emails .
Allows online chatting ( via text , audio and )
Makes use of protocols ( TCP ) and internet protocols ( IP ) .
It is a worldwide collection of networks and devices

The World Wide Web ( WWW ) is only a part of the internet that users can using web software . The World Wide Web consists
of a massive collection of web , and is based on the hypertext transfer . Therefore , the World Wide Web is a way of accessing using the internet ; so the internet and the World Wide Web are actually quite different .

4

WWW :


It is a collection of web pages and other information on websites .
Http ( s ) protocols are written using hypertext mark - up ( HTML )
Web resources are accessed by Web
Uniform resource locators ( ) are used to specify the location of web pages .
Uses the internet to access information from web .

Uniform resource locators ( URLs )

Web browsers are software that allow users to access and web pages on their device screens . Browsers interpret mark - up language ( HTML ) sent from websites and produce the results on the user ? s device . Uniform locators ( URLs ) are text addresses used to access . A URL is typed into a browser bar using the following format :


protocol : / / website address / path / file nam e

6

protocol : / / website address / path / file name

The protocol is usually either http or .

The website is :
» domain host ( www ) ,
» domain name ( website name ) ,
» domain type ( . com , . , . net , . gov , for example ) ,
» and sometimes country code ( . uk , . de , . , for example ) .

The path is the web page , but is often omitted and it then becomes the root directory of the ( see example below ) .
The file name is the item on the web page .

For example :

https : / / www . hoddereducation . co . uk / ic t

7

Hypertext transfer protocol ( http ) is a set of that must be obeyed when transferring files across the internet . When some form of ( for example , SSL or TLS ) is used , then this changes to https ( you will often see the green in the status bar as well ) . The ? s ? stands for , and indicates a more secure way of sending and receiving data across a ( for example , the internet ) .

8

TSL and SSL

Secure Socket Layer : is standard technology for an internet connection by data sent between a website and a browser ( or between two servers ) . It prevents from seeing or stealing any information transferred , including personal or financial data .

Transport Security Layer : A security protocol from SSL , that encrypts communication between applications , such as web and servers , to protect sensitive transmitted over the internet .

Most browsers have the following features :

» Have a page
» Can store a user ? s websites / web pages ( referred to as bookmarks )
» Keep a of websites visited by the user ( user history )
» Have the ability to allow the user to forwards and backwards through websites / web pages already opened
» Many web pages can be open at the same time by using multiple
» Make use of cookies
» Make use of that allow navigation between websites and web pages ;
» Data is stored as a cache
» They use an address bar ; for example :

Retrieval and location of web pages - IP ADDRESSES


HTML ( HyperText Language ) is a language used to content on browsers . All websites are written in HTML and hosted on a web server that has its own IP address . To retrieve pages from a website your needs to know this address .

11

The Domain Server ( DNS ) ( also known as domain name system ) is a system for finding IP for a domain name given in a URL .

URLs and domain name eliminate the need for a user to memorize IP addresses . The DNS process involves converting a
( such as www . hoddereducation . co . uk ) into an IP address the computer can understand ( such as 107 . 162 . 140 . 19 ) . The DNS process involves more than one server .

DNS servers contain a of URLs with the matching IP addresses .

Cookies are small or code stored on a user ? s computer . They are sent by a web to a browser on a user ? s computer . Each cookie is effectively a small look - up table containing pairs of ( key , data ) values , for example , ( surname , Jones ) ( music , rock ) . Every time a user a website , it checks if it has set cookies on their browser before . If so , the browser reads the cookie which holds key information on the user ? s such as language , currency and previous browsing activity .

13

Cookies allow user and maintain user preferences . Collected data can also be used to the web page for each
individual user . For example , if a user buys a book online , the cookies the type of book chosen by the and the web page will then show a message such as " Customers who bought Hodder IGCSE ICT also bought Hodder IGCSE
Computer Science " .

14

Session cookies
Session cookies are used , for example , when making online . They keep a user ? s items in a virtual shopping basket . This type of cookie is stored in memory on the computer , doesn ? t actually collect any from the user ? s computer and doesn ? t personally identify a user . Hence , session cookies cease to on a user ? s computer once the browser is closed or the website session is terminated .

15

Persistent cookies :
Remember a user ? s in details ( so that they can the user ? s browser ) . They are on the hard drive of a user ? s computer until the expiry date is reached or the user deletes it . These cookies remain in operation on the user ? s computer even after the browser is or the website session is terminated .

16

Persistent Cookies

Their advantage is that they the need to type in login details every a certain website is visited . Some websites use cookies to store more or user . However , this can only be done if the user has provided the website with certain personal information and agrees to it being stored . Legitimate websites will always any personal information stored in the cookie to prevent unauthorized use by a third party that has access to your cookie folder .

17

Persistent cookies :
Very efficient way of carrying data from one website to another , or even between sessions on related websites ; they remove the need to massive amounts of data on the web server itself . Storing the data on the web server without using cookies would also make it very difficult to a user ? s data without requiring the user to in every time they visit the website .
