Study Cаse: "Acme University's Digitаl Cоurse Hub" Acme University hаs recently launched its new "Digital Cоurse Hub," a cоmprehensive online platform designed to streamline academic operations. The platform serves various users: students access course materials, submit assignments, and view grades; faculty members upload lectures, grade submissions, and communicate with students; and administrators manage course enrollments, user accounts, and generate academic reports. The system integrates with the university's existing student information system (SIS) for enrollment data and with a third-party online exam proctoring service. The Digital Course Hub stores a vast amount of sensitive information, including student personal details, academic records, performance data, and communication logs between faculty and students. All data transmissions are encrypted using standard TLS protocols, and the platform requires unique university credentials for login. Faculty accounts have elevated privileges, allowing them to modify grades for courses they teach, access detailed student analytics, and publish announcements to their classes. A dedicated portal is also available for parents to view their child's academic progress, which requires a separate, verified login. The university emphasizes data integrity and privacy, especially concerning student records. They maintain a strict policy against unauthorized access and aim to ensure the accuracy of all academic data. Although the platform underwent security audits before launch, continuous vigilance remains crucial. The system provides basic logging for user activities, with a focus on login attempts and major data modifications. Given User Story: As a student at Acme University, I want to submit my final essay for the "Digital Ethics" course, so that I can complete the course requirements and receive a grade. Task: Based on the Study Case: Acme University's Digital Course Hub, and the given User Story, you are to formulate two new stories: A) Evil User Story (15 points): Craft one "Evil User Story" that describes a malicious actor's goal from their perspective, leveraging a potential vulnerability or feature misuse identified within the study case. Your evil user story should follow the standard evil story format. B) Security Story (15 points): Based on the "Evil User Story" you created in Part A, formulate one corresponding "Security Story." This story should describe a security control or feature designed to mitigate the threat outlined in your evil user story. Your security story should also follow a security story-like format. Rubric A) Evil User Story (15 points) Criteria Excellent (15 points) Good (5-14 points) Needs Improvement (0-4 points) Format Adherence (5 points) The story perfectly adheres to the standard evil user story format. The story largely adheres to the format with minor deviations (e.g., slight rephrasing of components) that do not impede understanding. The story significantly deviates from the required format, making it difficult to recognize as an evil user story, or is missing key components. Relevance & Inferred Vulnerability (10 points) The evil user story leverages a potential vulnerability or feature misuse directly inferable from the study case (e.g., leaderboard, data sharing, sensitive data, 2FA for critical actions, third-party provider). The malicious outcome is plausible and well-defined. The evil user story is relevant to the case study, but the vulnerability/feature misuse might be less distinct or the malicious outcome less impactful than optimal. It still shows an attempt to infer from the text. The evil user story is generic, does not link to the study case, or the "vulnerability" is not inferable from the provided text. The malicious outcome is vague, illogical, or entirely disconnected from the scenario. Rubric B) Security Story (15 points) Criteria Excellent (15 points) Good (5-14 points) Needs Improvement (0-4 points) Format Adherence (5 points) The Story perfectly adheres to the standard security story-like format. The story largely adheres to the format with minor deviations (e.g., slight rephrasing of components) that do not impede understanding. The story significantly deviates from the required format, making it difficult to recognize as a security story, or is missing key components. Relevance & Inferred Vulnerability (10 points) The security story directly and effectively mitigates the specific threat outlined in the student's Evil User Story from Part A. The proposed security control/feature is a logical and inferable extension of security considerations mentioned in the case study (e.g., related to existing security, data privacy, and user control). The security story aims to mitigate the threat from Part A, but the mitigation might be slightly less direct, comprehensive, or the connection to existing security considerations in the case study is weaker, but still present. It demonstrates an attempt to assess the study case's security posture. The security story does not mitigate the threat from Part A, or the proposed control is irrelevant/generic. It shows no apparent connection or logical extension from the security considerations discussed in the case study.
