| Popis: | The Golden Shield Project, aka the Great Firewall of China, is one of the most popular and vital information security and censorship technology project that is being used very strictly and extensively in the country since 2008. The Great Firewall has been preventing Internet users in China from visiting many foreign websites for one reason or the other and blocking them completely. This particular firewall implements information access control through some stringent security policies and takes the responsibility of controlling and censoring the flow of data. The Great Firewall makes China one of the strictest countries in the world when it comes to the internet freedom of the netizens residing in the mainland. In this paper, we will focus on the development of the Great Firewall that includes the timeline of its development, the censorship policy used for its implementation, its effects and the principles behind the technology used for its application. We will discuss where it stands after a decade of its implementation. We will also present a study of techniques like using a VPN to circumvent the heavily monitored firewall. These circumvention techniques have become very popular in the mainland because of severe information censorship. With this research, we aim to offer a clear understanding of the Great Firewall to the people from across the world. |
