Chapter 3 – Complete the two essay assignments noted below:
The Remote Worker(300 words)
I want someone to help me in a programming task, details will be communicated in chat.
Topic: Cryptographic Applications
Recommend 4-5 pages (body), including a cover page and reference page (does not count toward 4-5 pages), at least three references and in APA format with 12pt font DOUBLE SPACED ONLY! If you do more than double space you WILL lose points! Safe Assign needs to be under 35% .
Please Upload a source code file for this assignment. Explain your program appropriately using comments the source code.
Check the attached files of “OS Security II,” for further details of assignment. You are to implement a Dictionary Attack with and without Password Salt program in either C++ or Python.
If you are not familiar with measuring execution time in C++, see the following website:

See the following steps.
1. Accept a user password of length N as keyboard input to your program. You can determine your own length N.
2. Compute the hash of the password from step 1.
Your hash function H() is simply the checksum. (See Assignment 2)
3. Now you become an attacker and try to find the password of length N.
Try every combination of length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash of the password from step 2.
Measure execution time.
4. Now let’s reinforce our password using the password salt. Accept an arbitrary non-negative integer number as keyboard input to your program.
5. Compute the hash of the concatenated password salt and password from step 4 and step 1. To compute the password salt portion of the checksum, you can treat the entire password salt as EITHER a single integer OR multiple one-byte integers.
6. Now you become an attacker and try to find the concatenated password salt and password.
Try every combination of an arbitrary non-negative integer number and length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash from step 5.
Measure execution time.
NOTE: your program should have separate functions for the checksum and the two dictionary attacks with and without the password salt by the attacker.
Instructions
As the new communications manager for International Gadgets, you have come across many examples of ineffective communications, including some older directives that were never carried out, mostly because of their unclear nature.
One example included an email stating that the recipient (within the R&D team) was to “create a presentation discussing the new product and send it to interested departments.” Others included a request from Sales to Technical Support for “a list of the biggest problems with our hot products” and a memo from Finance to all departments to “reduce the number of suppliers being used to better control costs.”
In a memo to your team, describe what is wrong with directives such as these and how to improve these messages so that they are delivered to the recipient with clarity and conciseness.
Prepare a 3-5 page paper on the future of digital currency litigation and the implications for taxation. What are the pros and cons? How will this ultimately impact the business world?
Your paper should be 3-5 pages long (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA.
Compose your essay in APA format, including the introduction and conclusion, and in-text citations for all sources used. In addition to your 3-5 page essay, you must include an APA-style title page and reference page.
Go online and search for information about companies that have been harmed or bankrupted by a disaster. Choose one such company and create a brief case study about it. Successful narratives will focus on the manner in which the organization was impacted, including financial losses, losses of sales, or the need for layoffs. Your assignment should be 3 paragraphs in length.
After completing the reading this week, we reflect on a few key concepts this week:
Text Book :
Please be sure to answer all the questions above in the initial post.
Please ensure the initial post and two response posts are substantive. Substantive posts will do at least TWO of the following:
At least one scholarly (peer-reviewed) resource should be used in the initial discussion thread. Please ensure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use APA references and in-text citations.
