Movie + Food = LOVE

For the past meetings, we've discussed about Physical Security. We went into depth why physical security is important. I think the main lesson I'v learned is that "No matter how good your network or application security tools are, data are still at risk if there are no good physical controls available.". This means that everything we've learned the past months in class would be useless if the physical security is faulty. There are a lot of considerations to take into account when it comes to physical security. One is CPTED or Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. What some people think are just building or location designs for aesthetic purposes are actually placed for people's safety and are well-thought of. Another thing is that the number one priority is No Life Lost! Physical goes into so much detail. You even have to plan what type of doors and windows to use. There are different types of fire deterrents and sprinklers. It's safe to say

For this learning log, the lesson discussed in class was about Cryptography. I already had some knowledge about cryptography because we studied it the year before in COMPAIS class. I remember enjoying this lesson because of it's number patterns. (Yes, I like math). However, in INFOSEC we had a more detailed discussion. I learned about symmetric algorithms and asymmetric algorithms. Under Asymmetric Encryption, we studied RSA (Ron Rivest, AdiShamir, and Leonard Adleman) which makes use of n (product of two prime numbers, p and q), e (public key) and d (private key). We also studied the Diffie-Hellman Algorithm. We did some exercises abot the 2 algorithms. I enjoyed doing these exercises. I kind of felt like I was a spy decoding messages.
