Assignment 1: Single Sign-On Access

Some business and organizational network infrastructures consist of multiple systems from the same or different vendors to provide, conduct, process, and execute various business functions. Some employees must access one or more of these systems using valid access credentials (username and password). Logging in and out of each system whenever access is desired can become a problem for most users. Businesses and organizations have resorted to using Single Sign-On (SSO) for user authentication and authorization.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze at least five (5) problems experienced by employees in an enterprise where Single Sign-On (SSO) has not been implemented.

2. Some businesses and organizations use Active Directory (AD) to provide SSO access to the enterprise. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using AD for SSO access.

3. Some businesses and organizations use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LADP) to provide SSO access to the enterprise. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using LADP for SSO access.

4. Compare and contrast a Kerberos-based SSO configuration to a smart card based configuration in terms of:

a. configurability

b. established standards

c. implementation challenges

d. cost

5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Assignment 2: Secure Encrypted Communications

Transmitting personal and business data and information over secure communication channels is critical. In some cases it is required, especially when personally identifiable information is being transmitted. Credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, online purchases, business orders, and so on must all be transmitted over secure communication channels. The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) provides the most widely used secure communications technology. PKI relies on encryption.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Compare and contrast symmetric encryption to asymmetric encryption.

2. PKI uses digital certificates to encrypt / decrypt data. Analyze the process of encrypting and decrypting data using a digital certificate.

3. Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using digital certificates.

4. Evaluate the challenges related to public and private key management when using PKI.
