Operational Security Policy: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

[[EVE University]] has a fairly open recruitment policy, to allow maximum access for genuinely new players who need assistance. However, this does come with certain drawbacks in terms of security, because it is not difficult for a player to create a 'fake' new character to put it into EVE University. This may be for many reasons, including spying on EVE University or making their character's employment history look genuine so they can spy on another corp later on.

As a result, members should never assume that communications within any of our channels are secure. While we can never guarantee security of communications, we can reduce the risk of harmful information being leaked. It is therefore requested that members observe the following rules:

Operational Security is the process by which potential adversaries are denied access to information about operations and activities.

Since [[EVE University]] has a fairly open recruitment policy, members should never assume full operational security. As we try to allow maximum access for genuinely new players who want to learn EVE, it is not difficult for any player to create a 'fake' new character to put it into EVE University. Players may do that for a variety of reasons, including spying on EVE University or making their character's employment history look genuine so they can spy on another corp later on.

As a result, members should never assume that communications within any of our channels or fleet activities are secure. While we can never guarantee security of communications, we can reduce the risk of harmful information being leaked. It is therefore requested that members observe the following rules:

* Never disclose any passwords to [[EVE University Chat Channels|EVE University chat channels]] to anyone. If someone is allowed to access the channel they will be able to see the password either in the Corp Bulletins (Neocom > Corp > Home > Bulletins) or in this [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 Forum Post]. If they cannot view either of these, they should not be in the channel. The ''only'' exception to this rule, is that [[Intake & Progression Department|Intake Officers]] may disclose the password to a successful applicant in the course of an interview if it is needed to get them into the chat channels.
