make me a report essay
Budget: £10 – £20 GBP
deadline - 25th April 9am(GMT)
Scenario: University Central is looking to update their student/ staff authentication system and
internal networking infrastructure and has Two critical questions:
1. Authentication – University feels that their student/ staff authentication system is not secure
enough. Currently they are issuing magnetic stripe cards which can be used to enter the
authorized buildings, labs, library and use authorized services like printing. Your task is to
analyze the current system and propose what you feel would be the most appropriate
solution. Note, this could include the continued use of the magnetic stripe cards. Please
provide a clear rationale for your analysis, selection, and provide detailed evidence to support
your statements.
2. Networking – Consider a connection between a host and a web server within the University
infrastructure, if it is reported that the web content downloading/display on the host machine
is very slow, explain how you could use ping and/or traceroute (or tracert) to locate the
bottleneck link which might have caused the problem (assume it is a networking problem
instead of a server problem). It is also noted that the current network topology is based on a
flat design (all hosts and servers are connected to the main router via access points and
switches). Your task is to propose an alternative network architecture to take into
consideration the security needs of the University.
