Discussion Post
Purpose
This discussion is intended to help you learn to solidify, reflect on, and find applications for the week's topics.
Overview
Let's level up the security discussion to the point where the philosophy behind security is quite different and disruptive. Watch the following talk:
YouTube Video: "How Smart Contracts Will Change the World | Olga Mack | TEDxSanFrancisco".
What are the implications and use cases of blockchain and smart contracts for cyber security?
Action Items
I. Read/watch the resources as indicated above. Post a 3- to 4-paragraph (375 to 500 words) discussion and reflection on the topics.
1. Consider this to be a mini "reflection paper" per most of your other course work. Talk about what was interesting, difficult, or surprising in what you read. Note any "ah-ha!" moments.
2. Find a current news article or journal article that highlights the topics for the week. Summarize the article's main points, and connect them to the material you read/watched in the resources of the current module.
II. Connect the topics from the above resources back into prior coursework you have taken at Franklin or other institutions. Talk about where you first encountered the topics or concepts and whether or not this exposure to them enhanced or solidified your understanding.
