nCase Firewall: For Designated Device Access Only
 


nCase Proposal Document
This is a proposal document I created to present to the Computing and Academic Studies Faculty at BCIT, my intentions to complete a Practicum project to help secure systems which are connected to an Ethernet capable device.

These are the presentation slides that describe how the nCase: Restricted Access Firewall operates. Combined with the above movie it was used present the nCase solution to the Adjudication Commitee for the 2007 BCNET Broadband Inovation Challenge competition. nCase won the second runner up prize of $500.

   


nCase: Restricted Access Firewall
This program was the subject of an intense practicum I completed at BCIT, in order to attempt to provide better security for enterpises engaged in operating SCADA Systems. It was designed to operate on an Intrinsyc PXA270 embedded Linux board (ie. a handheld sized board). The configuration provides a firewall that does not allow any external access. If external access is required a remote client can request to open a port by using a custom encryption channel. In this way access through the firewall to the internal network is only available to those that know the custom encryption/protocol. Access is further monitored by a configuration file that can be as restrictive as required.
