4/4 –  In this module, you learned that random numbers (or, at least, pseudorandom numbers) are essential in cryptography, but it is extremely difficult even for powerful hardware and software to generate them. Go online and conduct research on random number generators. What are the different uses of these tools besides cryptography? How do they work? Explain your answer using your own words in 2-3 paragraphs. (Min 250 words)

Network Forensics-1

In this module, we will discuss network forensics. We move away from cellular/smartphone discovery and look at the wired and wireless investigation. We will use the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity’s Introduction to Network Forensics guide. 

The document is available at:

Term Paper

   

1. DEFINITION

This study is an individual work.

In this assignment, you will research applications of experimental design. Through a review of relevant literature, you will find two articles that present practical applications of DOE in industry (i.e. manufacturing, healthcare, banking, entertainment, construction, energy). The studies may target the same or different industries. You will submit one report that addresses the following in your own words:

· Identification of the industry

· Brief problem summary

· Factors studied

· Responses observed

· Experiment design strategy used

· Findings

Each study must be described in a separate section of your report addressing all the items listed above. The articles must include a practical application example. In your search you should focus on more recent publications (published in the year 2012 and beyond are acceptable).

Note that studies with only simple statistical analysis, for example two sample comparisons, are not acceptable for this assignment. The studies you report on must include experimental design methods such ANOVA, factorial design, fractional factorial design, etc.

Your literature material may consist of the following:

1- Peer reviewed research papers (journal papers or conference proceedings) 2- Case study and/or white papers

There must be two publications discussed in your report, and at least one of them must be a peer- reviewed paper.
