Kerberos and Diffie Hellman Short Paper

Prepare to do a deepish dive into subject areas for preparation of the CISSP.

Short papers: Explain, contrast or compare the subject – 3-5 pages – These are RESEARCH PAPERS – CITE YOUR SOURCES

This paper should describe, as well as compare and contrast, Diffie Hellman and Kerberos. You should include data flow diagrams that outline the transaction of both kerberos and Diffie Hellman – one diagram each please using Microsoft Visio. I have put a study diagram (mine is not a good example of a data flow diagram – it was just my notes for the CISSP) to give you an idea of the level of detail I am expecting on the diagrams. These diagrams are NOT part of the page total required for this assignment.

In these papers I want to hear your thoughts, but keep in mind I expect a thorough treatise and I want to see good writing – this means proper punctuation, grammar and the like. Also remember to pick a citation method and learn it – cite anything that is not yours, this includes summary information and not just direct quotes – As Cyber professionals you will all have to write a LOT for your bosses- if you are not a great writer – GO to the writing center and have someone check your work- Ask a peer to read through your paper and critique it – BE PROACTIVE and you will be successful!!

single spacing, normal margins, use 12 pt font – reference what isn’t yours please –

DIAGRAMS: Create a diagram for each of the Kerberos and Diffie Hellman transactions using either Microsoft Visio or the free open source application available to Windows or Mac OSx called Dia (download at: http://dia-installer.de ) : It should be a complete transaction of each showing the step by step. The file from either application should be saved as a .VDX file so I can open it in Visio.
