Assignment
Summary of physical tamper-resistant devices (Individual Paper)
Given that you have covered a wide variety of topics on security applications, now is a good time to stop and reflect on the material you covered this Week. For this Assignment, you will summarise what you have learned about physical tamper-resistant devices.
To prepare for this Assignment, use the UoL library to research and make a list of different types of physical tamper-resistant devices used in information security, with an emphasis on their characteristics. Consider the differences and similarities among those types and identify any emergent themes.
To complete this Assignment:
Write a concise summary of the themes emerging from your research on the characteristics of tamper-resistant devices and the similarities and differences among them. You do not need to include the full list of devices and their characteristics that you prepared. As part of your summary, evaluate the relative effectiveness of different strategies for making a device temper-resistant.
For all Assignments:
Your document should have 750-1,000 words (not including the list of works cited), but it is the quality of the answer that matters, not the number of words. Cite and reference all sources use the Harvard Liverpool Referencing System.
When an entity's identity is placed within the public sphere, compromises and vulnerabilities naturally arise. As biometric authentication methods utilise physical attributes of an entity for transactions, similar concerns of compromise and vulnerability can arise.
To complete this Discussion:
Post: List some of the public concerns (including privacy) regarding biometric authentication and critically evaluate the validity of each. You may offer personal examples if you wish.
Respond to your colleagues.
