ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.1 Computer security refers to protection afforded to an automated
information system in order to attain the applicable objectives of
preserving the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information
system resources (includes hardware, software, firmware,
information/data, and telecommunications).

1.5 An attack surface consists of the reachable and exploitable
vulnerabilities in a system. An attack tree is a branching, hierarchical
data structure that represents a set of potential techniques for
exploiting security vulnerabilities.
ANSWERS TO PROBLEMS
1.1 The system must keep personal identification numbers confidential, both
in the host system and during transmission for a transaction. It must
protect the integrity of account records and of individual transactions.
Availability of the host system is important to the economic well being
of the bank, but not to its fiduciary responsibility. The availability of
individual teller machines is of less concern.
1.2 The system does not have high requirements for integrity on individual
transactions, as lasting damage will not be incurred by occasionally
losing a call or billing record. The integrity of control programs and
configuration records, however, is critical. Without these, the switching
function would be defeated and the most important attribute of all -
availability - would be compromised. A telephone switching system must
also preserve the confidentiality of individual calls, preventing one caller
from overhearing another.

without any walls, under which we hung our hammocks, while the Negroes
used the neighbouring trees and bushes for the same purpose. A large fire
was blazing, and round it were numerous wooden spits, containing pieces of
fresh fish and alligator’s tail for our supper. While it was getting ready, we
went to look at some fish which had just been caught, and lay ready for
salting and drying the next day: they were the pirarucú (Sudis gigas), a
splendid species, five or six feet long, with large scales of more than an inch
in diameter, and beautifully marked and spotted with red. The Lake contains
great quantities of them, and they are salted and dried for the Pará market. It
is a very fine-flavoured fish, the belly in particular being so fat and rich that
it cannot be cured, and is therefore generally eaten fresh. This, with farinha
and some coffee, made us an excellent supper, and the alligator’s tail, which
I now tasted for the first time, was by no means to be despised. We soon
turned into our hammocks, and slept soundly after the fatigue of the day.
Jaguars were abundant, and had carried off some fish a night or two before;
the alligators too were plunging and snorting within twenty yards of us: but
we did not suffer such trifles to disturb our slumbers.
Before daybreak I had my gun upon my shoulder, eager to make an
attack upon the ducks and other aquatic birds which swarmed about the
lake. I soon found plenty of them, and, my gun being loaded with small
shot, I killed seven or eight at the first fire. They were very pretty little
birds, with metallic-green and white wings, and besides forming good
specimens, provided us with an excellent breakfast. After the first discharge
however they became remarkably shy, so I went after the roseate spoonbills,
white herons, and long-legged plovers, which I saw on the other side: they
also seemed to have taken warning by the fate of their companions, for I
could not get near enough for a shot, as there was no means of concealing
my approach.
What is called the Lake is a long, winding piece of water, from thirty to
fifty yards wide and of little depth. It is bordered with aquatic plants and
shrubs, and in some parts is thickly covered with floating grass and
duckweed. It is inhabited by immense numbers of the fish already
mentioned, and alligators, which are so thick that there is scarcely any place
where you may not stir one up. There are also great quantities of very small
fish about two inches long, which I suppose serve as food for the larger
ones, which in their turn are probably sometimes devoured by the alligators;
