Second practical done as part of CS4203 “Computer Security”, which I took during my 5th year. The aims of this practical were to 1) use passive pen-testing tools to investigate two websites, and 2) to conduct an “alpha (self-tested)” study into using keystroke timings as a potential biometric authentication factor. We were informed that part of the exercise was also to approach the study in an academic manner, i.e. including relevant citations, acknowledging shortcomings and limitations, and suggesting improvements and/or further work.

First practical done as part of CS4203 “Computer Security”, which I took during my 5th year. The aim of the practical was to write a report describing what blockchain is and how it works, along with 2 separate areas of research or commercial interest. The description of the separate areas had to discuss functionality, current and potential applications, and security concerns or problems.
