What have we learned?
• Be very selective with your Facebook friends
• Implement Security and Privacy settings on Facebook
• Be aware of catfishing• Limit Cyber-bullying
Information Assurance
• How can you protect yourself and your information online?– Limit who can view your information– Only accept friend requests from people you
know– Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections– Use two-factor authentication to protect your
account– Use strong passwords
Secure Sockets Layer
• HTTPS is the “web” version of secure sockets layer
• You can set the default connection on Facebook to use Secure Sockets Layer
• Data is encrypted between host and website – protecting it from “packet sniffers”
Two-Factor Authentication
• What is two-factor authentication• How do corporations use it• How you can use similar technology with
Online Banking & Email Accounts
Two-Factor Authentication
• Two-factor authentication is a means where a use has to provide two pieces of information to verify or authenticate who they are.
• Combined with a user ID, these two independent verification tokens are validated against two separate verification systems
Strong Passwords
• How long could it take to crack your password?• Using a standard alphabet set (case insensitive) without numbers or special characters = 26 characters in set, on
an average 2008-era dual-core PC performing 30,000 MIPS (million instructions per second):
• Using an extended data set with case sensitive letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and 20 special characters = 82 characters in set, on the same 2008-era dual-core PC:
Password Length Maximum Number of Operations (guesses) Maximum Time to Crack 8 208,827,064,576 7.0 seconds 9 5,429,503,678,976 3.0 minutes 10 141,167,095,653,376 1.3 hours 11 3,670,344,486,987,780 34.0 hours 12 95,428,956,661,682,200 36.8 days 13 2,481,152,873,203,740,000 2.6 years 14 64,509,974,703,297,200,000 68.2 years
