Hour 11-12

Met once again with my mentor. She tried to help me out with something i could physically present to the class when it came time to do so. I wanted to try and present some physical parts of her GAP data base info but obviously, its way too confidential for her to do that. I never knew that databases were so tightly guarded. She said that if she showed me some of the data that was stored in the LDAP Administrator program, that i couldn't record anything i saw in terms of numbers and letters because it must be kept secret. In order to access the GAP's network, she had to enter her own personal password but also a password that is constantly randomized that is view-able on an electronic key chain that is connected to her computer. every time she wants to log in to the servers from home, she must enter the randomized 8 digit code, and her own personal password as well as username. This security protocol is set up so that not one password can access all these important files.
