CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION TO SIWES The Students Industrial Work Scheme (SIWES) was initiated by the industrial training fund (ITF) in 1973, to serve as a medium through which theoretical and practical experience could be combined to better the Nigerian educational system. It is a tripartite programme involving the students, the Universities and Industries. It is funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria and jointly coordinated by the ITF and the National Universities Commission (NUC). It is a skill training programme designed to expose and prepare students of tertiary Institutions for the industrial work situation they are likely to meet after graduation. The scheme also affords the students the opportunity of familiarizing and exposing themselves to the needed experience in handling equipment and machinery. SIWES started in 1974 with 748 students from 11 institutions of higher learning. It increased to about 5,000 students from 32 institutions by 1978. The ITF, however, withdrew from the management of the scheme in 1979 due to logistic problems in the organization coupled with increased financial burden associated with the rapid expansion of SIWES. Consequently, the federal government funded the scheme through National University Commission (NUC) and National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) who managed SIWES for five years (19791984). The supervising agencies (NUC & NBTE) operated the scheme in conjunctions with their respective institution during this period.

1

1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES The aims and objectives of SIWES include the following:  To prepare students for the work situation they may likely meet after graduation.  To expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment, tools and machinery that is not available in their University.  To provide students an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a real situation there by bridging between the Universities work and the actual practice.  To provide an avenue for student in Nigeria University to acquire industrial skill experience in their area of study.  To make the transition from the University to the world of work easier and thus enhancing students for later job placement after graduation.  To strengthen the involvement of employers of labour in the educational process by preparing university students for employment in industry.  To expose students to the right and proper altitude and the disciplinary measures to work.  To minimize the bewilderment experienced by students, particularly those from a nontechnological background, pursuing courses in science, engineering and technology with regard to different equipment, processes tools etc. available in industry.  To enable science, engineering and technical students appreciate work methods and gain experience in handling equipment and machinery which may not be available in their institutions.

2.2 NETWORK SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE (COMPTIA N+) Network+ is an entry-level certification that is used to measure skill as a network technician. During this Course I learnt the concept of networking including network connectivity devices, signal transmission methods, network models, networking Standards and network management. At the end of the course am able to design, set up, manage and troubleshoot networks. 2.2.1 DEFINITION OF NETWORKING A network is a collection of computing devices. These devices communicate by exchanging data over a wired or wireless medium. In a networked environment, you can share the following components: Data, applications, and services Devices such as modems, printers, Universal Serial Bus (USB) drives, and CDROMs To create a network, you require: at least two computing devices, Network Interface Cards (NICs) in each connected device, a network medium, either wired or wireless, and a network operating system.

Figure 3: Peer to Peer Network

2.2.2 NETWORK TYPES A computer network is classified into four types on the basis of its size: Local Area Network (LAN) Is a collection of computers and associated devices that share a common network medium. Occupies a very small area and can be set up at a low cost and contains minimum two computers. It is useful for sharing files and printers among users connected to a network. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Is a large computer network that extends to a campus such as that of a university or covers an entire city, it incorporates a number of LANs to form the network. It spreads to geographical areas smaller than that of a WAN. Controller Area Network (CAN) Is a network designed for the automotive industry, it connects devices, sensors, and embedded devices by using a serial bus. The devices in a CAN do not have addresses. Instead, nodes broadcast short messages by attaching identifiers unique to the network and is also popularly known as a Campus Area Network 9

Wide Area Network (WAN) Is a large computer network made up of smaller networks such as two or more LANs. The world’s most famous and largest WAN is the Internet. They are costly to set up. The smallest WAN can be formed by combining two LANs.A WAN formed by combining multiple LANs is shown in the given figure.

Figure 4: Wide Area Network

2.2.3 TRANSMISSION MEDIA A transmission medium is the means by which data can be exchanged and resources can be shared among the devices on a network. Each type of transmission medium has specific characteristics and advantages that make it suitable for specific networking requirements. There are two types of transmission media:

10

Wired (or guided): Wired media is the use of cables to connect the devices on a network. The cables transfer data and information among the network devices. Cables may use Metal wires that carry data in the form of electrical signals and Glass or plastic wires that use light pulses to carry data. Wired media are also called guided media. The two types of wired media used most commonly are: Copper media and Fiber optic cables. Wireless (or unguided): Wireless media: Uses radio waves, microwaves, or light pulses to carry data. Enables users in networks using wireless media to move around while they remain connected to the network. Are also called unguided media. In wireless media, data transfer is in the form of waves or pulses that do not travel in a closed, guided direction. 2.2.4 CONNECTIVITY DEVICES A hub: Works at Layer 1 of the OSI Model. Is used to connect multiple network devices and provide sharing of network resources and to extend the range of the Ethernet cable in networks A repeater: Regenerates a signal to improve the signal strength over long transmission distances. Can be used to exceed the limitations of various networking technologies regarding the segment length for signal transmission. A switch: Is a network connectivity device that connects nodes or different network devices so that they can form a network. Has a few ports (connectors), which connect different nodes and devices to the switch. It has a MAC address and it contains memory where it stores the MAC address of all the devices and computers connected to it. A router: is a networking device that connects multiple networks by using the same protocol. Sends data between networks by identifying the network addresses contained in the packets being sent

11

2.2.5 NETWORK MODELS The OSI Model: It was developed by ISO, it defines communication in an open system network. Divides the entire communication process into seven tasks. Each task is grouped into seven different layers.

Figure 5: Layers of the TCP/IP Model

TCP/IP model: Is a protocol stack used in networking, it supports two very popular protocols—TCP and IP. It contains four layers. The protocols and services included in the TCP/IP model are more practical to implement than those in the OSI Model. 2.2.6 IPV4 ADDRESSING SCHEME An IP address is a unique number that identifies a resource in a network. It allows nodes to connect and communicate over a network. Internet Assigned Numbers Authority manages, distributes, and ensures that every node on the Internet has a unique IP address. IP address allocation has been divided into sub registries, known as RIRs, for various geographical regions. Some of the RIRs currently in use are: Asia12

Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC), African Network Information Center (Afrinic), American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) etc.

Reserved IPV4 Addresses Reserved on the basis of their usability in a network. Networks are categorized as private and public. IANA provides: The following three sets of blocks for assigning private network addresses: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 for Class A 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 for Class B 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 for Class C The following IPv4 address ranges are reserved for public networks: 1.0.0.0 to 9.255.255.255 and 11.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255 for Class A 128.0.0.0 to 172.15.255.255 and 172.32.0.0 to 191.255.255.255 for Class B 192.0.0.0 to 192.167.255.255 and 192.169.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 for Class C

Data

From getting corrupt or from being accessed without authorization.

Resources

From being accessed without authorization.

Table 2: Information Security Assets

Goals of Security •

The primary goals or functions involved in the practice of information security include: –

Prevention: Preventing users from gaining unauthorized access to confidential information.

–

Detection: Detection occurs when a user is discovered trying to access unauthorized data or after information has been lost.

–

Recovery: A process to recover vital data from a crashed system or data storage devices.

Risks Risk is a concept that indicates exposure to the chance of damage or loss. Signifies the likelihood of a hazard or dangerous threat occurring. Is often associated with the loss of a system, power, or network, and other physical losses. Affects people, practices, and processes. Threats

15

A threat is any event or action that could potentially cause damage to an asset. Often in violation of a security requirement, policy, or procedure. Potential threats to computer and network security include: Unintentional or unauthorized access or changes to data, the interruption of services, and the interruption of access to assets, Damage to hardware, unauthorized access or damage to facilities. Vulnerabilities: A vulnerability is any condition that leaves a system open to harm. Vulnerabilities can be: Improperly configured or installed hardware or software, untested software and firmware patches, Bugs in software or operating systems, the misuse of software or communication protocols, poorly designed networks Intrusions An intrusion occurs: When an attacker accesses a computer system. When the system is vulnerable to attacks. An intrusion may include: Physical intrusions, Host-based intrusions, Network-based intrusions Attacks An attack is a technique used to exploit a vulnerability in any application or computer system without the authorization to do so 2.3.2 AUTHENTICATION METHODS Tokens A token is a physical or virtual object. A token can store Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), Smart Cards 16

A smart card is an example of token-based authentication. It is a plastic card containing an embedded computer chip and it require a smart card reader. Biometrics Biometrics are authentication schemes based on the identification of individuals by their physical characteristics, Examples may include: A fingerprint scanner, a retinal scanner, a hand geometry scanner, Voice-recognition, Facial-recognition software Geolocation Geolocation provides an extra level for authentication. It determines physical location from an IP address, MAC address, RFID, GPS coordinates, etc. In this type of authentication method, authentication requests from approved locations are granted 2.3.3 CRYPTOGRAPHY Cryptography it is a science of hiding information. It protects sensitive information and Symmetric encryption communications from unauthorized access Encryption and Decryption •

Encryption: Converts data from plaintext form to ciphertext form.

•

Decryption: Converts data from ciphertext form to plaintext form.

Type of Encryption Symmetric Encryption: is a two-way encryption scheme. It uses same key to perform encryption and decryption. It is vulnerable if the key is lost or compromised. Some of the common algorithms used for symmetric encryption include: DES, 3DES, AES, Rivest Cipher (RC)

17

Asymmetric encryption: Uses public and private keys to perform encryption and decryption. It is more secure than the symmetric encryption and slower than symmetric algorithms. Some of the common algorithms used for asymmetric encryption include: RSA, DH etc.

2.3.4 SECURITY POLICIES •

A security policy: Defines how security will be implemented within a particular organization. Describes the means the organization will take to protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of sensitive data and resources. Provides functions similar to a government's foreign policy. Some of the common security policy include: Acceptable use policy, Privacy policy, Audit policy, Extranet policy, Password policy
