Computer Security

Computer Science Concept

Questions may cover: common issues; ways to protect individual devices and devices managed by an organisation; policies or practices of a New Zealand-based* organisation that has had issues with computer security.

There will be a question on “impacts” in relation to future-proofing or human factors.

* This must be a particular New Zealand-based organisation or entity specified by the candidate. For example, Countdown (but not “supermarkets”), the Auckland DHB (but not “hospitals”), Westpac (but not “banks”), or “my school”.

An online interactive resource for high school students learning about computer science.

Login with your school mail and a password provided by your teacher. The enrollment key will be given to you too.

The mechanisms are not a list of distinct ideas from computer science, but general terms that put the focus on how things work rather than just what they achieve. The challenge for you is to talk about TWO DISTINCT mechanisms that come within the broad descriptions.

Remember you need to choose between techniques/algorithms AND protocols/procedures that shape the concept for the External.
