Assignment

Provide an answer to each of the following questions. Refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards will be used to assess your work and your progress towards the related learning outcomes.

Task 1      answer to the question ,400 words limit APA 6 referencing minimum 4 references

1.      The information relating to our daily life that flows through a browser to the WWW could include classified/sensitive data. Protecting classified data from malicious data exfiltration is important. SSL (secure socket layer) is one of the leading protocols serving this purpose.
Your task is to - first, describe the basic concept of SSL. Then you need to demonstrate how SSL provides confidentiality and authentication. Your answer should be based on current literature with proper APA 6th referencing.
 APA 6 referencing

Answer to the question 400 words limit APA 6 referencing minimum 3 references

2.      Design an authentication framework that utilises Kerberos based on a real-life scenario. In your design, make sure to address potential attacks and how Kerberos can protect the system against them. Using a diagram with a suitable use-case to support your claims is essential.  

Your answers above should be supported by authoritative sources, properly cited using APA 6th referencing.
