ARPANET access points in the 1970s. The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was the first wide-area packet-switched network with distributed control and one of the first computer networks to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. The ARPANET was established by the ...
Robert William Taylor (February 10, 1932 – April 13, 2017), known as Bob Taylor, was an American Internet pioneer, who led teams that made major contributions to the personal computer, and other related technologies. He was director of ARPA 's Information Processing Techniques Office from 1965 through 1969, founder and later manager of Xerox ...
Larry Roberts (December 21, 1937 – December 26, 2018) was an American computer scientist and Internet pioneer.. As a program manager and later office director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency, Roberts and his team created the ARPANET using packet switching techniques invented by British computer scientist Donald Davies and American engineer Paul Baran.
The basis for the Internet did in fact come from a government-backed project spurred years before Gore was in office. The ARPAnet -- the precursor to the Internet -- came from the Defense Advanced ...
Sara Elizabeth Cowles. . . (m. 1966) . David Corydon Walden (June 7, 1942 – April 27, 2022) was an American computer scientist and Internet pioneer who contributed to the engineering development of the ARPANET, a precursor of the modern Internet. He specifically contributed to the Interface Message Processor, which was the packet switching ...
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) protocol was implemented on the ARPANET in 1983. LAN email systems emerged in the mid-1980s. For a time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it seemed likely that either a proprietary commercial system or the X.400 email system, part of the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP), would ...
Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider (/ ˈlɪklaɪdər /; March 11, 1915 – June 26, 1990), known simply as J. C. R. or " Lick ", was an American psychologist [3] and computer scientist who is considered to be among the most prominent figures in computer science development and general computing history. He is particularly remembered for being one of ...
The ARPANET pioneered the creation of novel encryption devices for packet networks in the 1970s and 1980s, and as such were ancestors to today's IPsec architecture, and High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) devices more specifically. DuPont and Fidler provide a historical perspective of ARPANET encryption devices in the broader ...
