For connect, note that once a smartbooks is past due, you can still “recharge” for partial credit but it will show a zero (I will fix the late penalty). If you recharge to study for the quiz, it will NOT affect your grade.
First quiz is Tuesday 3/11 in regular class. More details next week.
Tech Issues we have created in last decade (some to be discussed next week):
Privacy – Tradeoff of Security for Liberty. Snowden, Pizza Order Video & NSA post 9-11 changes. Since then, GPS, CCTV cameras/facial recognition/Clearview AI. No easy answers here…
Identity Theft – Phishing – Trying to get information to commit identity theft. Be smart!!
Use www.annualcreditreport.com – every 4 months (or weekly since Covid).
– Deter, Detect, Defend. (FTC.GOV/idtheft) for more tips.
Brains are changing – Long term memory, focused study, curiosity.
Encryption – Based on public & private keys. Works really well, as long as nobody figures out factoring 256 bit numbers.
Authentication – Proving who you are – Fingerprints, UserID & PW.
Authorization – What can I do.
– Intellectual Property
– Distraction & Complexity (think about GPS)
– Social skills – Changing communication
– Phishing -> Identity theft
Internet SHOULD NOT necessarily mean free.
– Intellectual Property – copywrite, patents, trademarks
Turning things off not always effective for security. Humans First!
Misc Terms – Spyware, Malware, Firewalls.
