SEC571 Principles of Information Security and Privacy
Week 5 Discussion
DQ1 CASE STUDY – WOULD YOU HIRE GOLI?
How would you respond if Goli (Situation VIII: Ethics of Hacking or Cracking, pp. 759-761 in the textbook) came to you describing a vulnerability in your system and offering to help fix it? What would incline you to hire her? What would disincline you from doing so? Please explain your answer and also reply to the comments of others.
DQ2 PRIVACY: RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE?
Privacy seems to mean different things to different people. What does privacy mean to you? Is privacy a right or a privilege? How should one’s privacy be legally protected or secured, especially when using the Internet? Maybe this is not absolutely possible; protection may always be viewed as a relative term. Why or why not? Please comment on the responses of other students.
