Access Control
• Reduce the amount of SPAM mail• Reduce exposure to copyright infringement• Reduce exposure to DOS attacks
• Increase bandwidth to campus community• Increase the integrity of inter- and intra-campus
network communications• Increase productivity of all by not dealing with
SPAM and other such attacks

Approach• Attack problem in levels• Reduce the number of entry points to campus• Reduce the number of exit points to campus• Move towards authenticated and encrypted protocols
and applications, e.g., SSH
• SSH (secure shell as an alternative to telnet)– csun1.csun.edu: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 (Good)– nikita.csun.edu: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.0.1p1 (Bad)
• Draft Policy is emerging

Draft Policy(for discussion purposes)
1. All inbound network connections shall be limited to only identified servers on specific ports.
2. All outbound network connections shall be sent to only appropriate servers on specific ports.
3. All network traffic that carries data that have “privacy” issues shall be encrypted.
Definition of “servers” and required “ports” is defined locally

Thoughts on Web Improvements
• Intranet Web (via vhosting)URL File locationhttp://www.csun.edu/~tsag ~tsag/public_htmlhttp://cww.csun.edu/~tsag ~tsag/campus_html(enforcement of https protocol, is there a need?)
• PHP• Enhanced Search Capabilities• Statistics Gathering
