First Session, Week 1 (14th Oct 2017)

Topic Chosen: Can you unlock my computer.
How it works: When the usb is plugged in as a key, the program will runs and activate the user to key in the password to allow decryption of the files.
Programming Type: Java

Ideas that we have gathered:-
1. Finding bootstrap program
2. Have log files feature to record what the attacker doing
3. Different partition to unlock in a computer: for eg.
  • different usb (key) to unlock different items
  • not having to worry that others will be able to view or open the rest of the files.
4. Implementing 2 Factor Authentication


This approach allows protection against data disclosure on a lost or stolen computer, but only if all of the private information was encrypted. In additional, allowing loaning of computer without information leaked to other parties.

Things to consider:
1. Password length for users?
2. Number of incorrect password tries?

Process Flow Planning:

a)      Class Diagram
b)      Use Case Diagram
c)      Sequence Diagram
d)      Activity Diagram
e)      Gantt Chart – timeframe
f)       Roles & Responsibility
g)      User Manual
h)      Creating of BlogSpot to showcase our progress

Individual Work:
E : To create the project website for project journaling -> blog
J and W: To start researching more information on the programs/  software that have already been implemented and further more ideas to enhance the project programming.

Next meeting: 16th Oct 2017
- To meet with Mr Tian

Progress update on our current status - Prototype and Documentation

After all the core functions are working, we consolidate and complied everything together and test the program to see if everything is working fine. With that, we will continue to debug if there is any. Most of the documents are also complete, we will just need to touch up a bit and consolidate for the next few days. We will start to do videoing when everything is done.

Progress update on our current status - Prototype and Documentation

We left two weeks to the submission of the FYP project, which is on the 24th Feb 2018. We gathered today and start to get the documentation updated with the prototype we have. We tested all the GUI functionalities to check if they are working properly as intended. Most of the Core functions are working. The remaining task were spilt up to each member. Hope we can get everything done correctly and start to prepare for our presentation!
