IA Class Presentation Guidelines

Over the course of the semester, we will be reading material from the bugtraq and RISKS mailing lists. The purpose of this is for you to be aware of and understand the current state of information assurance and to gain an understanding of common vulnerabilites.

To this end, each student will choose a date to present a topic of their choice from a recent Bugtraq item. You may also choose an item out of RISKS or other media if it strikes you as interesting and relevant, but you need to get permission from me ahead of time. Please feel free to talk to me ahead of time if you have questions or concerns about presenting.

For the presentation, I will expect you to spend about 5 minutes on:

• What the problem is
• What could have prevented it
• What can be done to work around it
• What can be done to prevent it from occurring in the future

For RISKS or other media entries, assuming you have permission to present those, you might choose to do something like:

• What the issue is
• Whether or not it is even an issue
• What the possible problems and benefits are
• What we can learn from seeing the problem
