When you create a GitHub repository it requests a license type. Review the license types in relationship to this Tech Talk and make some notes in GitHub pages.
Notes located above
Make a license for your personal and Team project. Document license you picked and why.
Our team decided to chose Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal due to it’s dedication toward the world-wide public domain. For my personal project, I chose the Open Source MIT License because I liked that it allows using code freely and making/distributing closed source versions
Describe PII you have seen on project in CompSci Principles.
PII is Personally Identifiable Information. I have seen PII on projects its CompSci Principles in passwords, names, emails, and phone numbers in the CRUD database.
What are your feelings about PII and your exposure?
I feel that PII is important for identification and personal use, but I feel like it can sometimes be dangerous to have your PII available to other users on the internet. For example, a credit card would be bad PII for the public to see.
Describe good and bad passwords? What is another step that is used to assist in authentication.
Good passwords have uppercase, lowercase, symbol, and number characters. Bad passwords have only one form of characters or have something that identifies you in them; for example, a pet or your mom’s name. Another step that is used to assist in authentication is multi factor authentication (using another device to verify your identity) or biometrics.
Try to describe Symmetric and Asymmetric encryption.
Symmetric encrytion happens when there’s only one key, which is secret, and this key is used to decrypt and encrypt electronic data/information. Asymmetric encryption/cryptography happens when there’s a pair of related keys, including one private and one public. These are used to decrypt and encrypt information to protect it from unauthorized use/access.
Provide and example of encryption we used in deployment.
In deployment, an example of encryption we used in deployment is SSL, which uses both symmetric and asymmetric encryption.
Describe a phishing scheme you have learned about the hard way. Describe some other phishing techniques.
A phishing scheme I’ve learned about the hard way happened when I tried to watch a movie on a poor website. When I clicked on the movie, an “ad” popped up and asked me to download the movie, so I clicked it. Then, malware was downloaded onto my computer. Another phishing technique could be fake websites that steal your credit card information/other PII after you enter it.
