Lecture 5
In Lecture 5 we discussed access control. Part of that discussion was on techniques used to
authenticate a claim of identity (e.g. passwords, tokens, biometrics). In this portion of the
assignment you will research and report on a specific access technology.
1. Find a technology
Research online sources to find an authoritative (see above) description of a specific
technology for access control of a specific type according to the following:
First letter of first name
A-H
I-Q
R-Z
Technology type
Hardware Token
Password Alternative
Biometrics
“Password alternative” refers to some technology that is an alternative to typing a textual
password or passphrase. Your technology must not involve typing characters on a keyboard,
keypad, or similar device.
“Hardware token” refers to some physical device that is used in place of (or in addition to)
typing a password. The RSA SecurID token (or any direct derivative of that device) shown in
Lecture 7 is explicitly excluded for this assignment.
“Biometrics” refers to a specific technology for measuring some physiological and/or
behavioral characteristic used in place of (or in addition to) typing a password.
You must find a specific technology that has been implemented, not just a generic description
of a type or category of technology. For this answer a manufacturer’s Web site is considered
authoritative (but a seller’s Web site is not!).
Show the URL of the page that describes the technology you selected
and the date and time when you accessed it, as in this fictitious example:
My selected technology is
described at
http://www.blahblahblah.com/tec
h.pdf.

2. Summarize the technology
In your own words summarize the operation of the technology you chose using
100-150 words. Focus on how it works, especially how it can distinguish a
particular person from any other.
Note: You must use your own words. Do not quote directly from the policy
and do not change just a few words – re-phrase the lower-level requirement
entirely. Failure to comply with this directive will result in a score of zero
for this answer and may be considered a violation of the Honor Code.
If you use less than 100 words you will receive zero for this answer.
If you use more than 150 words your answer may receive only
partial credit. (8 points)
Lecture 10
Use terminal feature on your OS to find the following. Hint, if you don’t know what
the command is, please visit:
https://doc.lagout.ovh/operating%20system%20/linux/Essential%20System%20A
dministration.pdf and READ the MANUAL to find out!!
(This is best for MacOS)
For windows users type “cmd” at the run window from the start button in the lower
left hand part of your screen
For Windows: http://superuser.com/questions/429965/list-of-all-windowsadministration-command-line-tools
Your IPv4 address (should be RFC1918, but it is possible that it is not)
Find the following: (2 points each). For each one, show the command you used, and
what the results were.
Network configuration information
Version and type of your OS
Your routing table
Your gateway
A list of active and inactive network connections on your machine.
