Something about me.

My name is Daniel, I'm from Poland. I live in the United Kingdom since March 2020. I moved it here because I always wanted to challenge myself, so living and studying abroad is a good opportunity to do it. Currently, I'm a student at De Mormont University International College, Foundation Year in Computing, however, my destination degree is a degree in Cyber Security. Since I was a kid I was fascinated by computer technologies. That is a reason, why I've chosen this way of the career. I believe, one day I will be able to help people to secure from the hacker's attack and make their lives more simply and safely.
In my free time, I like to play chess, computer games and do activities which require logical thinking and involve my problem-solving skills.

Case Study (Literature Review)

Internet in China looks different than this one we are used to it. Communist Party is controlling the content, which is uploaded. The Chinese government in 2013 employed around 2 million people just to keep control of the Internet content (Economy, 2018). They also used "Great Firewall", the group of techniques such as blocking IP addresses, filtering URLs and keywords and DNS attacks (Shen, 2019). Chinese people have to use different software such as Internet browser as well. One of the most popular Chinese browsers is QQ Browser. This software is created by Tencent - Chinese Internet giant (Knockel, Senft and Deibert, 2016). Layout and functionality are similar to these browsers, which are using in other parts of the world such as Google Chrome or Safari. However, in comparison to other browsers, in QQ Browser exist a large number of data points, which are not encrypted or can be easily decrypted (Knockel, Senft and Deibert, 2016). A large number of these differences are fo...

Opinion about safety (Survey Analysis)

Image
In my questionnaire, I asked people about their feeling of internet safety. The question was "How safe do you feel with using internet services?" Author's work, 1 - not safe, 5 - very safe         As we can see, the majority of the group is feeling safe on the Internet. Only 6 of the responders are feeling completely safe, which is negative, because they may be less focused during using the Internet, which can cause an opportunity to be charmed by hackers. Development of cybersecurity technologies is possibly a reason, why nobody feels completely unsafe on the Internet. Author's work, 1 - not safe, 5 - very safe   However, the general feeling of safety on the Internet is not related to using online payments. As we can see in the diagram, more people are worried about their safety in case of online payments. Comparison of these 2 diagrams may suggest, people are more worried about their money, than their sensitive data such as name, address, location etc.

Essay (Body)

The history of cryptography begins antiquity. In the antique times, the most used technique was encrypting. To prevent reading the messages by an unwanted person, people used a simple cyphers. For example, Julius Cesar used the cypher, named after in his honour, to encrypt military orders and official messages (McFadden, 2018). Cryptography is an important part of the military. For every country is important to keep their military data protected against other countries, potentially opponents. In the past, breaking the encryption keys made a milestone point of wars. According to Inman's (2020), breaking the Enigma (German encryption machine used during II World War) key was important in localising the U-Boats and destroying them. Between 1940 and 1943 the number of destroyed U-Boats was over 1100. Some estimates say, breaking Enigma key reduced the Wartime by over one year (Inman, 2020). Nowadays, cryptography is unseparated part of daily life for many people. Polk and Froncek (...
