Part I: Complete Your Original Response to the Main Topic

The requirement of this activity for this module is for every student to solve one programming problem from the book, and post the source code in the discussion board for further analysis and discussion. In order to have more diversity of problems from the chapter, each student will select a problem number using the process described below.

Selecting the Problem Number to Use

Consider the following rules in calculating the problem number to solve:

  • Divide your student ID by 20, consider the remainder and increment it by 1. The result you obtain represents the number of the programming exercise you will solve for this online discussion.

Posting the Solution

Once you determine the problem number, complete the solution to that problem. When you are satisfied with your solution, click the Reply link below to post in this discussion forum.

  • In the first line of your post, your should add the chapter number, problem number, and page number of your problem.
  • Your posting must include the source code along with explanations of how you have solved the problem.  

Term Paper Outline

 Submit a one page outline with your proposed term paper title, thesis statement, and an outline of the subtopics you will cover in your paper. The term paper details are listed below. ALL TOPICS MUST BE APPROVED. A FAILURE TO HAVE THE TOPIC APPROVED WILL RESULT IN A ZERO GRADE FOR THE TERM PAPER OUTLINE AND THE TERM PAPER. You can send a message with the topic for approval.

This project provides you with the opportunity to increase and demonstrate your understanding of cyberlaw theory and practice. You will need to choose a law(s) that you are interested in researching. The paper must be 4-6 pages in length detailing the below questions. Before completing the below steps, please make sure that the topic is approved.

1. Thesis: What law are you researching (You are to choose a specific law. Please do not choose a topic)? What position do you want to take in regard to your chosen law? You will need to decide if you agree or disagree with the current way the law is written. You can choose to like certain aspects of the law and not others.

2. Background: What is the existing point you want to challenge or support, and how did the law get to be that way (This is where you would need to find cases, background information, etc.)?

3. Inadequacies: What are the deficiencies in the present way of doing things, or what are the weaknesses in the argument you are attacking?

4. Adequacies: Discuss the positive aspects of the law?

5. Proposed Changes: How will we have a better situation, mode of understanding or clarity with what you are advocating? In short, how can the law be improved (or not diminished)? (This is where you have the chance to change the law with your own ideas of how it should be written).

6). Conclusion: Why should and how can your proposal be adopted?

A detailed implementation plan is NOT expected, but you should provide enough specifics for practical follow-up. In making recommendations, you are expected to draw on theories, concepts and reading.

When writing the term paper you must have a minimum of 3-5 outside sources cited and referenced in the paper.

When writing the term paper you must have a minimum of 3-5 outside sources cited and referenced in the paper following APA guidelines.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT 4 INSTRUCTIONS

SECURITY ISSUES IN P2P NETWORKS

In this assignment, you will answer the following review questions from the reading materials of the module/week. 

1. Question #1 in Section 2.9 in Chapter 2. 

“What are the key components of a typical P2P application? Describe their functions.”

2. Question #4 in Section 3.9 in Chapter 3. 

“What are the essential features of a typical hybrid network architecture design?”

3. Question #2 in Section 7.11 in Chapter 7. 

“What is Sybil attack? Why is it a serious problem?”

4. Question #4 in Section 7.11 in Chapter 7.

“Why is it possible to launch a DDoS attack using a P2P network?”

You are expected to provide a detailed answer that shows a clear understanding to each question’s subject matter. Biblical worldview should be integrated in an appropriate manner and supported by Scripture. In addition to the module’s “Reading & Study” materials, a minimum of 3 references is required for this assignment and be sure to include complete reference information. Your submission must contain at least 1,000 words and should follow the current APA formatting style. Please refer to the current edition of the APA publication manual for guideline details.

Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 5.

Discussion

 

The author proposed one methodology as an example of how risk can be understood and rated fairly easily.

However, there are other methodologies, would you use the proposed methodology at your organization and explain why in comparison to other methodologies

Cyber security questions

1. Calculate the timing of password-guessing attacks:

(a) If passwords are three uppercase alphabetic characters long, how much time would it take to determine a particular password, assuming that testing an individual password requires 5 seconds? How much time if testing requires 0.001 seconds?

(b) Argue for a particular amount of time as the starting point for “secure.” That is, suppose an attacker plans to use a brute-force attack to determine a password. For what value of x (the total amount of time to try as many passwords as necessary) would the attacker find this attack prohibitively long?

(c) If the cutoff between “insecure” and “secure” were x amount of time, how long would a secure password have to be? State and justify your assumptions regarding the character set from which the password is selected and the amount of time required to test a single password.

  2. Describe each of the following four kinds of access control mechanisms in terms of (a) ease of determining authorized access during execution, (b) ease of adding access for a new subject, (c) ease of deleting access by a subject, and (d) ease of creating a new object to which all subjects by default have access.

• per-subject access control list (that is, one list for each subject tells all the objects to which that subject has access)

• per-object access control list (that is, one list for each object tells all the subjects who have access to that object)

• access control matrix

• capability

3. Design a protocol by which two mutually suspicious parties can authenticate each other. Your protocol should be usable the first time these parties try to authenticate each other.

4. List three reasons people might be reluctant to use biometrics for authentication. Can you think of ways to counter those objections?

  5. If you forget your password for a website and you click [Forgot my password], sometimes the company sends you a new password by email but sometimes it sends you your old password by email. Compare these two cases in terms of vulnerability of the website owner.

  6. Defeating authentication follows the method–opportunity–motive paradigm described in Chapter 1. Discuss how these three factors apply to an attack on authentication.

  7. Suggest a source of some very long unpredictable numbers. Your source must be something that both the sender and receiver can readily access but that is not obvious to outsiders and not transmitted directly from sender to receiver.

  8. Humans are said to be the weakest link in any security system. Give an example for each of the following:

(a) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of encrypted data

(b) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of identification and authentication

(c) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of access control.

 9. Explain why hash collisions occur. That is, why must there always be two different plaintexts that have the same hash value? 

10. What property of a hash function means that collisions are not a security problem? That is, why can an attacker not capitalize on collisions and change the underlying plaintext to another form whose value collides with the hash value of the original plaintext?
