  The government's new cyber-security officials yesterday asked telecommunications companies for help in building a government computer network that would have “no risk of outside penetration”—a task some computer security consultants say is nearly impossible. Plans for the private network, called Govnet, hinge on whether a reliable network infrastructure can be built at an affordable price, officials said. Computer system consultants said they could not estimate how much the network would cost because of the government's enormous size and security needs. Richard Clarke, who was appointed special adviser to the president for cyberspace security this week, said he believes a more reliable system can be built. Ninety percent of available fiber-optic space is unused and fairly inexpensive to obtain, he said.

  Govnet is part of a plan Clarke announced earlier this week “to secure our cyberspace from a range of possible threats, from hackers to criminals to terrorist groups, to foreign nations, which might use cyber-war against us in the future”. Govnet would be completely independent from the Internet to help keep out hackers and viruses, according to the government's plan. The request from the General Services Administration asks that telecommunications companies submit proposals about how the network could be built, how much it would cost, and how long it would take to construct.

  This year, the current network has been breached by hackers, computer worms and viruses. The system was also roughed up by the “Code Red” computer worm and an attack program called “I LoveYou”. The viruses affected thousands of government computers. Last year a report by the General Accounting Office, an internal government watchdog, found weaknesses in the computer network that could allow terrorists or hackers to “severely damage or disrupt national defense or vital public operations or steal sensitive data”. Clarke said the government's current v

  irtual private network is vulnerable to viruses and denial of service attacks that Govnet would make more difficult to execute.

  An internal network, such as the Govnet proposal, is worth investigating but will probably fall to sophisticated hackers, said Amit Yoran, chief executive of the security-services company Riptech Inc. and a former information-security program director at the Defense Department. “It is probably more feasible to implement and strongly enforce global security postures and practices rather than go out and purchase new assets,” Yoran said. “Once someone is able to get in, they will find a weak link. When you have a network the size of the government's there will be weak links. Someone will get in.”

  疑難長句注解

  Clarke said the government's … execute.(第三段)

  virtual指“虛擬的”,也即“計算機網(wǎng)絡的”。denial of service指(網(wǎng)絡)停止工作或癱瘓。

  譯文

  政府負責網(wǎng)絡安全的新官員昨天要求通信公司幫助建立一個政府計算機網(wǎng)絡,這個網(wǎng)絡將“不會受到外侵的威脅”——一些計算機安全顧問認為這個任務幾乎是無法完成的。這個政府專用網(wǎng)絡叫做Govnet,官員們說,能否實現(xiàn)建立這個專門網(wǎng)絡的計劃取決于一個可靠的網(wǎng)絡基礎設施能否以合理的價格建立起來。而計算機系統(tǒng)顧問們說,他們無法估算這個網(wǎng)絡的預算,因為政府工作規(guī)模巨大,安全要求很高。Richard Clarke本周被任命為總統(tǒng)網(wǎng)絡空間安全特別顧問,他說他相信可以建立一個更加可靠的系統(tǒng)。他說,90%的可用光纖空間都沒派上用場,并且費用不大。

  本周早些時候Clarke宣布了一項計劃,旨在“確保網(wǎng)絡安全,防止可能產(chǎn)生的一系列威脅——如來自于黑客、罪犯、恐怖組織或國外的威脅,防止這些勢力將來向我們發(fā)動網(wǎng)絡戰(zhàn)”。Govnet是這個計劃的一部分。根據(jù)這項政府計劃,Govnet將完全脫離因特網(wǎng),以防止黑客和病毒的襲擊。服務總局要求通信公司提交建議,說明這個網(wǎng)絡如何建立、需要多少費用、需要多長的建設時間。

  今年,目前的網(wǎng)絡遭到黑客、計算機蠕蟲和病毒的襲擊,系統(tǒng)也受到了叫做Code Red的計算機蠕蟲和I Love You的攻擊程序的襲擊。這些病毒影響到數(shù)以千計的政府計算機。

審計總署是政府內(nèi)部一個監(jiān)督機構(gòu),它去年發(fā)現(xiàn)了計算機網(wǎng)絡的弱點,這可能使恐怖分子或黑客“嚴重破壞或妨礙國防體系或政府的重大行動計劃或竊取秘密數(shù)據(jù)信息”。Clarke說,政府目前的虛擬專用計算機網(wǎng)絡容易遭到病毒襲擊、出故障,而Govnet這個網(wǎng)絡將使這些攻擊變得難以實行。

  作為安全服務公司Riptech Inc.的總裁、國防部信息安全項目前主任,Amit Yoran說:像建立Govnet這樣一個內(nèi)部網(wǎng)絡的建議值得研究,但是可能擋不住黑客高手。Yoran說:“與其購買一套新設施,還不如實施并加強全球安全措施更可行。一旦有人能進入,他們就能夠找出薄弱環(huán)節(jié)。像政府網(wǎng)絡這么大的網(wǎng)絡總會有些薄弱環(huán)節(jié),因此,總會有人能進入?!?/p>

  1.[B]意為:一個能夠防止外來侵入的政府計算機網(wǎng)絡。

  第一段提到,政府負責網(wǎng)絡安全的新官員昨天要求通信公司幫助建立一個政府計算機網(wǎng)絡,這個網(wǎng)絡將不會受到外侵的威脅——某些計算機安全顧問認為這幾乎是不可能的。下一句提到,這個(政府)專用的(根據(jù)上一句,這里private不能理解為“私人的”)網(wǎng)絡稱做Govnet(這個名字顯然縮略自government和net)。

  [C]意為:政府要建立的一個國防體系。

 ?。跠]意為:要建立的防止外來入侵的一個專用國防體系。

  注意:[C]和[D]都沒有提到要建立的是一個計算機網(wǎng)絡系統(tǒng)。

  2.[A]意為:這需要大量的資金成本。

  第一句中沒有明確指出顧問們認為不可能建立這樣一個網(wǎng)絡的原因,但是第二、第三句提到,官員們說,能否實現(xiàn)建立這個專門網(wǎng)絡的計劃取決于一個可靠的網(wǎng)絡基礎設施能否以合理的(affordable原義為“能承擔得起的”)價格建立起來。而計算機系統(tǒng)顧問們說,他們無法估算這個網(wǎng)絡的預算,因為政府工作涉及面巨大,安全要求很高(這里enormous應該理解為同時修飾size和security needs)。這里的含義是,在顧問們看來,這個網(wǎng)絡的成本大得難以估算。

  3.[C]意為:通過與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)分離的方法。

  第二段第一、第二句提到,建立Govnet的目的是保證網(wǎng)絡安全,防止可能產(chǎn)生的威脅——如來自于黑客(hacker)、罪犯、恐怖組織或國外的威脅,防止這些勢力將來向我們發(fā)動網(wǎng)絡戰(zhàn)。因此,Govnet將完全脫離互聯(lián)網(wǎng),防止黑客和病毒的襲擊。

 ?。跘]意為:通過將

殺毒軟件升級的辦法。

  [D]意為:通過設立內(nèi)部監(jiān)督委員會的做法。

  4.[C]意為:Govnet被認為具有的安全性。

  在最后一段Yoran說,像Govnet這樣的內(nèi)部網(wǎng)絡值得研究,但是可能擋不住(fall to)黑客高手。與其購買一套新設施(new assets),還不如實施并加強全球安全狀況的做法更可靠。一旦有人能進入(Govnet),他們就能夠找出薄弱環(huán)節(jié)。像政府這么大的網(wǎng)絡總會有些薄弱環(huán)節(jié),因此,總會有人能進入。可見,他的觀點是:即使能建立所設想的Govnet,也不一定安全。

 ?。跙]意為:目前的網(wǎng)絡在對抗外侵上的效果。

  5.[A]意為:目前的網(wǎng)絡在提防外侵上的脆弱性。

  第三段提到,今年,目前的網(wǎng)絡遭到黑客、計算機蠕蟲和病毒的襲擊,去年,審計總署發(fā)現(xiàn)了計算機網(wǎng)絡的弱點,這可能使恐怖分子或黑客嚴重破壞或妨礙國防體系或政府的重大行動計劃或竊取秘密數(shù)據(jù)信息,因此,政府認為建立Govnet能防止這些入侵行為(本段最后一句)。
