What you will learn from this course
What is “Security”?Where the security problems come from? Potential threats to a system
What are the solutions? Apply an appropriate mix of security measures
(protective, defensive, etc) Knowing what has worked, what has failed.
Security involves many aspects -Operating system, programming language, administration and policy
Our FocusNetwork Security

What is security?In general, security is the condition of being protected against danger or loss. (Wikipedia)In computer security and network security What are the subjects that need to be
protected?
Let’s start with some terms System
computer, network, application, data, resource Principal: an entity that participate in a
system user, person
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
What is security?Computer Security Confidentiality means that only authorized
people or system can access the data or resource.
Integrity refers to the trustworthiness of data or resources. Data integrity means that data can only be modified
by authorized people or system in authorized ways Origin integrity means that the source of the data is
trustworthy, also called authentication. Message authentication means messages received
are exactly as sent (i.e. no modification, insertion, deletion, or replay), and the ID of the sender is valid.
Note: timing information Availability means that people has the ability to
use the information or resource desired.

Where the security problem comes from?Let’s look at some example systems:
Bank Bookkeeping
Core operations customer account, journals recording the transactions
Who has the access to the information? Bank’s own staff – what if they cheat?
ATM Authenticate users based on card and ID number
Let’s go Internet The user – how do we know they are the “real” (authenticate)
user? Protect web servers and bookkeeping database
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Where the security problem comes from?
Hospital Patient record system
Who can access the record? – Many parties – insurance company, care giver, researcher,
etc Complicated -- role can change Privacy issue – HIPPA
Anonymize the record for research Is it sufficient?
Show me all records of 59-year-old males who were treated for a broken collarbone on September 15, 1966
Drug management Let’s go to Web

How to study network security?
Principle of Easiest Penetration An intruder are expected to use any available
means of penetration. Computer security specialists must consider all
possible means of penetration.
Learning methodology examine all possible vulnerabilities of the system consider available countermeasures.
