Security Final and Presentation

I took my final this week. It was shorter than the last one and a little easier. I did ok on it. Now that we are done with all of the book work, I have to focus on a paper and presentation that we give next week. This is the one over cryptography and is very technical. Hopefully we don’t bore the class to death.

This should make for an exciting weekend of writing and making a PowerPoint. I can’t wait!

Information Security

Sorry for the delay in posts, I have been pretty busy. This class has gone by pretty quickly. We are covering a lot of information in just a short period of time. Our professor did move our exam back a class, so that gives us a little more time to study. The midterm went pretty well. I wish I would have done better, but it wasn’t bad by any means. The test was 100 multiple choice questions of which 40 were true false. I wish it would have had some short answer or something that can be a little subjective. Oh well. He did give us a curve so I can’t complain too much.

I am really enjoying this class though. I have learned a lot of new information, but have also been able to reinforce some of the things I have learned at work. So it has been helpful.

After the final next week, my group has to write a paper and give a presentation over cryptography. It should be interesting figuring out a way to make this topic not so boring. It is an interesting topic, it can just very very technical. But, we should be fine.

Principles of Information Security

I finished up with the Net Enabled class and then jumped right into a new one. This class should be pretty interesting and useful. A lot of the things we are learning I have experienced at work over the past year, so it is a little easier for me.

It is structured differently than the other course. We have 3 weeks of lecture and then 2 weeks of presentations. So my midterm is next week. It should be pretty fast paced. Luckily it is an interesting topic.
