Hi i'm going some reading on Networking and Security ?

I have some question if you lot can give me some information about it.

I have exam coming up in few days and I wont second opinions.

THIS IS JUST SOME LAST YEAR QUESTION

1.

The Internet has developed into highly distributed source of multimedia information without an overall design. Discuss how this affects the use of multimedia information (particularly streaming multimedia) and outline what is being done to increase the usefulness of the Internet as a multimedia information infrastructure.


2.
Discuss what is meant by full distribution transparency in distributed systems and outline the different areas in which transparency is achieved.

Outline TWO distributed applications where transparency is in evidence and discuss how each type of transparency is addressed (or not) in the two applications.


3.
When designing a Security Policy for a distributed system

(a) Explain with the aid any suitable examples the key criteria that need to be considered.
(b) What basic security mechanisms need to be addressed?
(c) Any Security Policy will require the use of specific software tools for monitoring its effectiveness. How are these tools used and what information would you use to monitor the effectiveness of any particular policy?

4.

Executable content applications techniques have made WEB pages a very attractive medium for many different types of E-Commerce transactions. The client side vulnerability problem, which is sometimes called the 鈥楧eadly Content鈥?problem however, poses many security problems.

Explain why this is the case, discuss the possible security threats that can occur and identify possible solutions to the security problems you have outlined.


5.

One of the past criticisms of the Internet has been that its development has been underpinned by a technology designed simply for the retrieval and display of documents. Discuss this theme and how the WWW is continuing to evolve into an interactive environment. Your answer will need to include descriptions of existing and developing technologies and protocols.

For the following organisations, state whether / how they can adopt the client / server model to their advantage:

(a) A car components company with around a dozen stand alone PCs.
(b) A large Local Authority with a legacy mainframe system and a number of minicomputers / supermicros.

This should include a statement of how their current setup fits the client / server model and suggest what type of applications the organisation should be using. Your answer should also discuss the types of server that could be used. Include information on the balance between the client and the server, what applications / user files etc are stored where and why. You may need to make assumptions to help justify your answer. Please state these.

Thanks

You haven't given us your opinion. When we've seen what you have to say, we'll be able to pass comment and provide you with a professional's point of view. At the moment, any comments would be a first opinion, and that really won't help your learning at all, would it? Not unless you were going for a qualification in "Polly want a cracker" Parrot learning.
