Updating my Topic

In recent days, I 've been considering some change of approach to my Dissertation. I'm considering refocusing my direction primarily on Enterprise Security Architecture with Secure Electronic Voting Architectural Framework as a case study. In light of this, I plan to include a second case study: Secure Electronic Banking System.

The big idea is to define the architectural framwork, define measurement and performance metrics and describe the case studies with the defined framework applied and demonstrate how applying the defined framework help to assure security with the defined set of metrics.

Ofcourse, The work will still encompass the same holistic set of parameters, but I belive this approach will remove all elements of likely confusion and emphasize the applicability of the framework to general purpose enterprise security requirements, one case for public application and another for private application.

In the mean time, I have been plagued by the season. Author's block, allergies and now chest pain. Yeah chest pain, right chest though... Yeah, scary, but more so with the likely misdiagnosis by the folks at Bayview!!!

Maybe I'll write about the passing semester later. Indeed I've had to struggle through the last couple of months, but there've been some highlights too.

Well the saying is still true today, "no pain, no gain..."
