Cryptography

Penetration tests assesses the overall security. It is the process of attempting to gain access to resources without knowledge of specific user names, their passwords, or other normal means of access (similar to what an attacker would do). The big different between a penetration tester and an attacker basically is permission. A penetration tester will already have some permissions (such as an normal user account) in place from the owner or managers of the computing resources that are to be…

Misappropriation Trade secret misappropriation is different from violations of other IP rights, since by definition trade secrets are secret, while patents and registered copyrights and trademarks are publicly available. Unlike other forms of IP [2], trade secret is basically a do it yourself form of protection. You do not register with the government to secure your trade secret. You simply keep the information confidential and personal. Trade secret protection lasts for as long as the secret is…

Procedural History: Schwartz, the defendant, was charged and convicted with three counts of computer crime under ORS 164.377 before a jury. ORS 164.377 is defined by three separate crimes. See Rule of Law. The defendant had argued that State attempted to prove that he violated ORS 164.377(2)(c). The parties argued that whether the evidence was sufficient to prove that the defendant's actions were for the purpose of committing theft. The defendant also argued that he couldn't have “taken” the…

I believe everyone can relate to this scenario while growing up; in school, one friend made a mistake or broke school's law and all other friends were also held accountable for one's misdeeds. Apple Vs FBI case from last year feels the same way. One bad guy happens to own an iPhone and commits a crime, and now, FBI wants a backdoor to the iOS operating system so that they can unlock any iPhone for investigation and save bad actors from doing bad things. Apple fulfilling FBI’s request will put…

Discuss the protagonist’s motivations for their decisions. In The Replaced by Kimberly Derting, Kyra and other Returned came out of hiding after intercepting an email suggesting Tyler, Kyra’s boyfriend, was being held at an NSA facility. After realizing what this meant for Tyler, the group knew they had to go rescue him, if not for the fact that he was potentially being experimented on, then because he was involved in the situation because of Kyra. Though the Returned acknowledged the email…

CS2301 df5 Questions: Using Figure 17.5 from the textbook explain why we have a “big mess” of our free space memory allocation Answer: Below figure show one example of putting the memory. Quoted: ARPACI-DUSSEAU. R., ARPACI-DUSSEAU, A. (2012, ch17-8) In above example, assume total size is 4096, header eat 16k, each chunk total eat 108k (100 + 4 k header + 4 k chunk). In theory (assume perfect allocation), no waste space resulted. Then total 37 chunk block (108k) can be fitted. However, the…

Blown to Bits – 15 points each No, it shouldn’t be illegal to encrypt data. It should be legal because the Government shouldn’t have an automatic right to read anyone’s private messages/information at any time. One pro of end-to-end encryption is that data is secured when it travels from a source to its destination. It also offers high flexibility for user in selecting a data to encrypt. Another pro is that we can easily integrate with the existing solution. We can just add an…

The protection of the information is considered a big challenge for all the systems, which manage fragile information of their clients. As a result, the systems should provide security that permits people to trust in their companies and services. Nowadays, the technological environment offers many algorithms and methods that permit to keep the information safe. One of the recent innovation is watermarking. Watermarking is a security method that help people to keep the information protected…

A person who can illicitly obtain a private key can impersonate the owner of the private key during public key cryptography actions. Depending on the security roles granted by the authorized use of the private key, a compromised private key can be used to abuse network resources, steal valuable data, and destroy reputations. Cryptographic algorithms can implement encryption…
