Students will be required to create 1 new thread, and provide substantive comments on at least 3 threads created by other students. Make sure to explain and backup your responses with facts and examples. This assignment should be in APA format and have to include at least two references.
Question:
The protections from the security software must continue when the device is taken off the network, such as when it is off-grid, or in airplane mode and similar. Still, much of the time, software writers can expect the device to be online and connected, not only to a local network but to the World Wide Web, as well. Web traffic, as we have seen, has its own peculiar set of security challenges. What are the challenges for an always connected, but highly personalized device?

One of the big challenges with cloud-based reputation checks is performance. Users do not typically want to wait a few seconds while the reputation of potential URLs is checked. Most of us have come to expect that websites are at the immediate tips of our fingers and that access and loading of the content should take place rapidly and immediately. This presents a tricky security problem. Since the reputation service exists in the cloud, the challenge can be summed up as, “How can a reputation be securely retrieved without slowing Web access down so much as to create a poor user experience?"

Cloud-based Reputation Checks Performance
Cloud-based reputation is one of the ways of measuring trust in the use of cloud-based
services, and entities that record a high reputation gain more trust than those entities with low
reputation (Huang & Nicol, 2013). Slow loading can be a sign of high traffic; hence, accessing
data by users takes some time. The longer loading times (low performance) comes about because
applications running on the cloud are broadly distributed and have data placed far away from the
logic being applied. In the end, the issue of latency can occur. The solution to this issue lies in
having a strong cloud-based network security approaches.
Creating and utilizing a connection with a Transport Layer Security (TLS) is one of the
ways to go by to avoid the effect of reputation checks on the speed of accessing web content by
users. According to Ebrary (n.d.), the TLS connection takes a fair time of transmission and a
reasonable amount of computer; so, the connection has little effect on the speed on data access
while cloud-based reputation checks are ongoing. A good enough way of securing the reputation
service to avoid slowdown using this method can involve an additional security feature, that is,
validating the TLS certificate. The server can also have its certificate verified (Ebrary, n.d.). In
this manner, it becomes difficult for cyber attackers to imitate the reputation server responsible
for the reputation service.
Additionally, reputation services can be saved when a private key that generates a
signature placed in the devices' certificate is protected from disclosure. Disclosure of this key
permits attackers to process the key and generate a valid certificate for a specific device. Thus,
this activity would compromise the importance of authentication, since there would be no
certification hence lacking the necessary security. In securing the private key, a Hardware

Security Module (HSM) is useful since it assigns certificate of every device as well as messages
transmitted to the devices from the management function....
