Passwords and Computer Security
|
|
|
|
To access the central computer, you will be given a user
|
|
identification code by your instructor. In addition, you and/or
|
|
your instructor will assign a password for your use. The
|
|
combination of the user identification code and your password is
|
|
your key to the central computer files and account that you
|
|
create or are assigned. You can change the password as often as
|
|
you wish. Your password should be considered private information
|
|
and not be passed on to any one. Never write down your password.
|
|
Protect your key to your computer files just like you protect
|
|
other keys to your personal property.
|
|
|
|
Computer privacy and security are very important concerns on our
|
|
campus. Computer Services has a variety of security checks in
|
|
the system to protect you from loss of data and funds. If you
|
|
suspect that your files have been altered or access has been
|
|
gained to your account, notify your instructor and/or Computer
|
|
Services immediately. The 1984 Idaho Legislature enacted the
|
|
most comprehensive computer crime law that may exist in the
|
|
country. It is now a criminal act to attempt to access
|
|
unauthorized computer files and accounts, as well as to gain
|
|
access and use or modify unauthorized files and records. The
|
|
University believes computer security is so important that the
|
|
offender, irrespective of the intent, will be prosecuted. In
|
|
addition, the violation will be addressed as a violation of the
|
|
Student Code of Conduct. Please protect your password, change it
|
|
periodically, and report any suspected violations. Computer
|
|
privacy must be protect in order for all users to enjoy the
|
|
benefits of the system.
