Please discussion questions
1. The promise of anonymity
To protect privacy against network surveillance and traffic analysis, the Tor Project promotes the promise of online anonymity for Internet browsing. There are other tools that also provide anonymity against traffic analysis. These tools may or may not be helpful or practical. For this Discussion, you will research the Tor Project and other tools which promote online anonymity.
To complete this Discussion:
Post: Summarise your research of the Tor Project. Explain why you might need a tool like Tor, for what purposes you might use it, and how useful it would be for those purposes. Include in your explanation an analysis of the practical and legal implications of your proposed use.
Respond: Respond to your colleagues' posts.
Minimum 500 words each DQ with 4 references each and using Harvard style referencing.
2. Functionality first and then security?
In this age of technical specialisation, software developers generally focus on the functional and aesthetic requirements of a project. Unfortunately, developers often consider security as afterthought, as a secondary value. What problems do you see with this attitude, and what solutions might you suggest? For this Discussion, you will select and summarise an article in the UoL library that promotes solutions for this problem.
