In this discussion. You are going to use your favorite browser to connect to a bank. It does not matter if you have an account at the bank or not. Try CHASE or Google. Internet Explorer makes this exercise simpler but you are not limited to one browser. Now that you have connected to the site, do not enter your user name and password and answer the following questions:

1. What is the name of the Certificate Authority for the site you connected to?
2. What is the public key of the site you connected to? You can cut and paste.
3. What hash algorithm is the site using?
4. What Asymmetrical encryption algorithm is the site using?
5. List 5 root Certificate authorities trusted by your browser

Threat Interception Project Assignment Instructions

Overview

When accessing the Internet via wireless methodologies, a certain level of protection has been granted to the users. This protection is largely due to the many types of security protocols that have been developed. Without these different security protocols, users would not be able to engage in the activity that they have become accustomed to on the Internet. In order to preserve this freedom with which users utilize the Internet, IT professionals must have both a thorough understanding of the primary forms of security protocols as well as how each security protocol functions.

One of the best methods that can be utilized to minimize security threats is by intercepting these attacks before they are successfully utilized. Three security protocols that are used to achieve this include Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and Private Communications Transport (PCT). Do any other security protocols exist? Research one additional modern security protocol and add this to your analysis.

Instructions

Assume that you are the information security officer of a business, and you must evaluate these four (4) security protocols in order to determine which should be implemented in your organization.  Analyze the protocols on at least two (2) different operating systems from a threat interception standpoint. Use current threat and vulnerability data when performing this assessment. US-CERT, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, is one example of a U.S. Department that has information on current threats to information systems.  Regardless, many other public and private sector organizations can be used as long as they are credible.  

In order to perform this analysis, if you do not have access to two different physical workstations with different operating systems, it is recommended you use virtual machines. VMware and Oracle VirtualBox are examples. Search for either and download them free of charge. Subsequently, you can use open source pre-built images or install from the operating system ISO images. For instance, Kali Linux is a popular operating system that has the tools to do this analysis. Search “Kali Linux VirtualBox Image” to find a virtual box image pre-installed with Kali Linux.

In your analysis, be sure to assess the threats that each protocol is likely to mitigate or prevent and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses associated with each of these protocols. Be sure to include the following in your project:

· A properly formatted APA paper;

· Screenshots with visible OS dates of the network security threat assessments on the two different operating systems, at least one OS being Linux, using relevant security tools on Kali Linux or Linux alternatives;

· Justification and use of appropriate security tools to demonstrate and evaluate the vulnerability of intercepting information from each of the four (4) networking protocols;

· A review of which safeguards the organization could implement to guard against these attacks, and

· A well supported report regarding the most advantageous safeguard/mitigating factors of the network security threats your project addresses;

· Hint: Create Microsoft Excel spreadsheets that list the operating systems, security assessments, tools used, four (4) networking protocols, and findings from the threat interceptions that occurred;

· Your project must be a minimum of 1,800 words and must contain at least 7 peer-reviewed sources;

· Before being graded, all code, security tool logs/reports, server logs, access control rules, and diagrams (each) must include screenshots with a valid OS date/timestamp and a unique piece of data that shows completion on the student’s Kali Linux distribution or relevant alternative security OS. Include the screenshots in appendices in your written paper.

In order to complete assignment #8 you will need to answer the below questions. Please complete the questions in a Word document and then upload the assignment for grading. When assigning a name to your document please use the following format (last name_Assignment #8). Use examples from the readings, lecture notes and outside research to support your answers. The assignment must be a minimum of 1-full page in length with a minimum of 2 – outside sources. Please be sure to follow APA guidelines for citing and referencing source. Assignments are due by 11:59 pm Eastern time on Sunday.

Chapter 14A large American multinational corporation wants to establish a telephone and email hotline for employees to report wrongdoing within the company. The company has offices in the European Union and wants to ensure that it avoids violations of E.U. data protection laws. What steps can the company take to increase the likelihood that its hotline reporting system remains in compliance?
