Access Control Models

1. If you were going to design an access system that would control people getting into your favorite or most valued items (e.g., financial records, health records, or other sensitive files), what things would you consider based on your readings from Chapter 14? Make sure you address all the possible avenues of attack that could be exploited. Remember, security measures are designed to slow and draw attention to attackers. No system can completely prevent a successful attack. 

2. Based on your study this week, what routing and switching protocols would you choose for your Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) network? What about if you had to work in a small company? Explain your thought processes. What transmission medium would you use in a larger company that had multiple campuses?  Remember, you're not only working out these ideas for yourself, but you're sharing them with your classmates. Approach this discussion from the viewpoint of a meeting where you are making recommendations to a team.

3. "Process Management". Compare foreground processes and background processes and describe the possible states of these processes. Provide an example when you might have to use the "kill" command to stop a process. Using the Internet, find a useful resource that outlines all of the commands associated with process management and share with your classmates.
