Part 1

Part of your network design for the U.S. Navy project will include a design of a plan that focuses on authentication issues. The overall design will be for a network that includes Windows server active directory and Unix servers. Discuss authentication methods that could be used in this environment. Do you think that biometrics could be useful for this situation?

Part 2

One of the concerns for the network project is ensuring secure e-mail and any documents sent through e-mail. Prepare a paper that explains how e-mail messages can be securely sent. The paper should include the features of secure e-mail and how secure e-mail works. Include a discussion of vulnerabilities involved in e-mail and how they can be countered. The paper should include the following:

The 4 main features of secure e-mail

Discussion of the 5-step process for handling secure e-mail with PGP and S/MIME

Discussion of the vulnerabilities of e-mail

Discussion of countermeasures that address the vulnerabilities
