Description:
Part 1.Setting up a web site on Unix machines with Apache web server
Create
a web page <your login>.html in your public_html/cs691 directory on viva.uccs.edu.
Using your user name in uccs email address as the file name of your person web page. For Raymond Deca Cruz, it will be rcdelacr.html
The reason
for the access right changes is that the apache web server is running on an
account called apache, and
it needs to be able to look into your web directory for retrieving those web
document files. .
In public_html, create a sudirectory cs301,
In public_html/cs691, create an "images"
directory and put your <login>.jpg file there. You can refer the image file
using the relative URL format, "images/<login>.jpg in the the <IMG>
tag of your personal web page.
Include short vita with
email address, for privacy reason, you may choose not to give out phone number.
Include your interests
and potential semester projects for CS691.
Put your cs691 personal web page in ~<your
login>/public_html/cs691
You will find http://viva.uccs.edu/~<login>/cs691/<login>.html get 404 error.
In your personal directory on viva, run "chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t public_html" and try the above url again.
Part 2. Security Policy vs. Seucrity Mechanism
Discuss what is the security policy and what are the mechanisms used to enforce the security of the personal web site in the above "chcon" example.
Part 3. Identify the vulnerabilities in a smart grid system.
Read white paper by juniper network. http://cs.uccs.edu/~cs691/smartSecureGrid/ssgworkshop/2000276-en.pdf and securing smart grid presentation.
Identify three statements that you think questionable and contribute the vulnerabilities of smart grids.
Identify the key challeneges in the security of smart grid systems.
