Homework 1

CSCE 201

Due: September 2, 2015 – midnight via dropbox

Consider the three security objectives: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Explain how these objectives are met by your personal computer. Be specific, e.g., availability of the system and data files is supported by regular system backups every week and by copying all data files to separate CDs daily.

The main purpose of the homework is that you identify the resources (e.g., system files, data files, applications, etc.) on your computer system, and you evaluate how you currently protect them.
