Online quizzes and practice questions, as well as other homework activities, will be linked to here as they become available.
Setup virtnet and try OpenSSL demos. This homework is not marked.
Refresh your knowledge of basic mathematics relevant for security (and data communications).
This quiz mainly tests assumptions and principles about cryptography. You should answer questions within the context of the assumptions made and notation used during lecture (which are summarised in this PDF). Be careful with multiple choice questions that allow selecting one or more answers: usually you must select all possible correct answers to get full marks and selecting one incorrect answer will result in 0 marks.
This practice contains a mix of questions from previous quizzes. You may use it as practice for the midterm exam (however it doesn't mean the questions from this practice are necessarily in the exam, nor does it mean the exam doesn't include other types of questions). This practice is not assessed.
All questions in this quiz are the same structure: a network diagram is presented, and then you need to either design a firewall rule to implement a policy, or select which rule applies to a specific packet. The network diagram is exactly the same in every question. Therefore read the instructions in the first question carefully, and then the subsequent questions should be faster.
