Research articles on internet/data/computer security

Hi all,
 
Was wondering if anyone knows any good (as in recognized pretty much everywhere without a shadow of a doubt) publishers or articles on the topic of computer/internet security in general. I'm writing a research paper for my English class & since I'm into the InfoSec field as an enthusiast I decided to write my paper on this. I don't have a specific topic yet but I can narrow it down as I go along. Basically, since I am studying Computer Engineering & Computer Science I want to write about the ethics of programming & the assosciated security risks that come with it (I might include an article about BadBIOS since that isn't the type of "virus" most people know about on the OS level).
 
EDIT: If anyone knows of any good articles about programming ethics that would be helpful too!
 
Thanks,
Shran
