Security of Information

Hi all,

Assignment 1 has been set today, so make sure you are checking the blog frequently and participating in the content of EVERY post.

Today I would like you all to discuss and debate the security of the sharing methods that we are using (email and public blog). I would like you to consider the following points:

• Are the methods a secure way of sharing private information?
• What can be done to make those methods more secure?
• Who has access to the information from each method?
• Which is the more secure method?
• What other methods could we have used that would have been more secure?

Update on research

Hi guys,

I think I finally have it working!

I haven't seen much communication happening for the research that you should all be doing. Your assignment for this research will be set a week today, so get as much done before then as possible!

Looking back at the research I have previously been sent, I would like you all to discuss the crime scene photos that people have found (from memory, I know that Sam has found and shared a website with some).

Has anyone else found original crime scene photos yet? Please feel free to share and discuss those photos too.

Points for consideration:

• Are the photos reliable? How do you know that?
• Are the photos genuine? How do you know that?
• Were the photos taken at the time the crime was committed, or before/after?
• Would these photos be credible evidence if the case was re-tried in court now?

You will have a week to contribute to this discussion, before another discussion point is raised.
