I made some quicktime movies (below) of me explaining how things work. (Don't worry, you only hear my voice as I draw on the diagrams.)
  • First is a two-part movie (about 12 min total; 9M) on how hybrid cryptography works - this is what makes e-commerce possible (!) - something cool to know and not too hard to understand. Explain it to your mom! (ctrypo1, crypto2)
  • Next is a movie (9 min; 1.9M) on how to do basic cost/benefit analysis (cba) for a control you might consider applying to address a couple of vulnerabilities. Gets you thinking about the tradeoffs involved and making smart decisions.
  • Last is a 5-part series (about 37min total, 30M) explaining a simple firewall rule example from the 118c text (2nd ed). (you don't need the text - the example's included in the vid). the whole thing is around 37 minutes long. Gives you the basic idea of how firewalls block bad traffic - but you have to manage rules carefully to let the safe traffic pass through or your phone will start ringing very soon!
