1.)What is the difference between security and reliability? How are they related?
Security is the degree of protection against danger, damage, loss, and criminal activity. Security as a form of protection isstructures and processes that provide or improve security as a condition.A form of protection where a separation is created between the assets and the threat. This includes but is not limited to the elimination of either the asset or the threat.
Reliability (systematic definition) is the ability of a person or system to perform and maintain its functions in routine circumstances, as well as hostile or unexpected circumstances. Also it has the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time.
2.)If you own a personal computer, how secure is that machine? How did you decide how much security was enough?
If I own a personal computer, the security is ok, by means that I make sure my fire wall is turned on, the protection against the spam mails or spam subject will be block. I would buyan all-in-one security of desktop and internet security, although it is expensive but if this is the means that my personal computer and files that was stored in it will be protected against fraud and viruses, I will not think twice to buy it.
Also it is foe my own safety also as a computer user. And it is my job to keep my personal computer and files are secured and my security software is up to date to protect.
3.)If you use a computer system that is run by an organization (a university or a corporation0, have you ever carefully read the security policies that you are supposed to know as a system user?
At this point of time, yes I read the security and policies that as a user of the computer of an university or a corporation, because they have different security measure that they do and us as a user should obey and follow the rules and regulations that the institution have made to be follow for it will not create a chaos and problems that will arise. By this means the institution is launching and giving the direction for the users to read and to follow.
Also as a user of the computer we have our responsibility neither to know the security policies that we should, because it is our responsibility as a user nor not just to know but to be aware of it. That the computer system is secure so the user will not think that they will do some foolish act that will harm the computer.
4.)If your machine is being used as a drone by a hacker to send spam e-mails, are you a victim, a perpetrator, or both?
It’s a both , a victim and a perpetrator. A victim because my personal machine was invaded and used by another user to do some unwanted things by me and being control by the third party. A perpetrator because, we have a responsibility that we should secure our personal computers or files.
5.)If you make a living by selling security software to individuals who own personal computers, are you happy or sad when hacker activity increases?
If I am making a living for selling internet security software to individuals who own a personal computers, technically I’m happy that the activity of hackers increases because the margin of my sales and demand will go higher and at this point since I’m selling the product that the consumers wants to buy and it is needed I can control my price due to the demands of the individuals.
6.)Have you ever receive an e-mail that indicates someone else had sent you spam without your return e-mail address on it? How would you feel about that?
Yes, I have an experience receiving an e-mail that indicates someone else had sent me a spam without me returning e-mail address on it. I feel that my computer and my e-mail server is not safe because stranger can break through.
7.)Have you ever compromised physical security for convenience? If so, what did you do? If not, have you seen anyone else do this?
No , I didn’t tried a compromised physical security for convenience. I didn’t see anyone has do this kind of stuff.
8.)Why is the issue of children being exposed to pornography online a difficult one to resolve? Is this the only reason, in your opinion, that this issue has received so much publicity?
The child pornography online a difficult to resolve, there are some present reason.
1.)Family problem, no one can teach the child what to do and not to do. Also its affecting the relationship with parents and child.
2.)Insisted by circle of friends.
3.)Experimental.
4.)Money matters, some of the children think that this is the best way to earn money that will support and sustain the family needs.

7.)Experimental experience
9.)Do you think that the 9/11 terrorist attack have substantially change people’s attitudes toward the trade-offs between privacy and security? Do you think that the current tradeoffs, as embodied in legislation, are appropriate?
Yes, the 9/11 terrorist attack have a big impact on people’s attitudes towards the trade-offs in the security and the privacy of each individuals. I don’t think the current trade off will be appropriate, things change in a matter of short time so the legislation should somehow coup up with the gap that can really protect every citizen.
10.) Go on the Web and find a website that is fully accessible to the general public online (e.g., it cannot be password protected) and contains material that you personally find offensive (for this excursive, the more offensive to you, the “better”). Having viewed this material from the Web? If not, why not? If so, how would you envision the law would be enforced?
