SECUNOID

HIGH LEVEL CONTROL OBJECTIVESPlan and Organize

Public-Key infrastructure (PKI) is the integration of software, hardware, encryption technologies and services for managing public keys. PKI provides for the four basic requirements of a secure system:

• Confidentiality to keep information private.
• Integrity to prove that information has not been changed.
• Authentication to prove the identity of the sender.
• Non-repudiation, which ensures that the information originator cannot deny ownership.

How these requirements are acheived?

1. To find out the interfaces on your system, type: ifconfig -a
2. Lets assume your interface name is "pcn0"
3. Run "ifconfig pcn0 plumb"
4. Run "ifconfig pcn0 dhcp start" to bring the interface up and get a DHCP address (assuming you have a DHCP server for the subnet your host is on)
5. Create empty files named /etc/hostname.pcn0 and /etc/dhcp.pcn0
6. Reboot: shutdown -i6 -g0 -y

Firewalls In General

This is the information one should be looking for in database security logs.

Some important items worth noting:

Internet is a medium where you are trusting a website with the information you provide, you have no idea who this website belongs to.  Therefore:

People think their information is protected while it is sitting in their homes, which is not true.  Therefore:

• Always shred your bills, credit card offers before disposing off
• At home try to mantain a clean desk policy, to ensure your bills and other information is not lying around in the open, which makes it easy for visitors to pick up
• Never carry your SSN/SIN card in your wallet/purse
• Never provide your SSN/SIN numbers to anyone besides your TAX Agency, all other agencies need it but it is not mandatory
