    1) The document is an assignment for a student named Laraib Shahzad in the Mobile Communication and Security program. It includes questions about system security components and the importance of trust. 2) In response to the first question, the student describes a system as comprising the computing and communications environment controlled by developers, with a system boundary separating protected and unprotected components. Encryption provides security for information within this boundary from outside threats. 3) In response to the second question, the student explains that trust in a system is built through identification and authentication between systems in a network, and that trusted systems enforce security policies based on classified levels of trust in programs.

    Explain the concepts related to system security. (Engineering
    Knowledge) (Understanding)

    1. Describe the system and the components of the system. Reflect on the statement” encryption
    provides system security”
    2. Describe the importance of trust in context to system security.

    Answer # 01:
    A system is a vague entity that comprises the totality of the computing and communications
    environment over which the developers have some control.
    A system boundary demarcates between the protected and unprotected components of a system.
    It defines the interface between the system and the outside world if the definition of the
    boundaries is not changed system security principles try to provide security of information
    within the system from threats that originate in the world outside the boundary.

    Security Relevant:
    These components are crucial to security. A malfunction or penetration of these components can lead to
    security violations. The operating system and computer hardware are examples here:
    These are objects that the system control and protects examples are programs (note not processes), data,
    terminal, modem, etc. The line of demarcation between the security-relevant components and others are
    called the security parameter.

    Answer #:02
    Trust in the system is built using the techniques of identification and authentication. Systems in a network
    authentication as other systems, or programs impersonating other programs in serious security threats
    trusted systems enforce a given security policy based on this trust. Trusted systems classify programs
    based on the level of trust in them. Trusted programs are those upon which the security system relies.
    These programs are responsible for the security of the system.
