Nt1310 Unit 8 Access Control System

Superior Essays
I realize that understanding access control system in computer is significantly important. Access control mechanism in operating system apply to ensure proper privilege, data integrity and availability. Transferred message over network is essential to put security which means encryption at sending point and decryption in receiving point.

Basic idea of Cryptography is to convert original message to encrypted message. Converting can either make the encryption process hidden, so that an intruder remain unknow it Or, can use a known technique and use a hidden key. Some terminology such as Plaintext - original message ,Ciphertext - encrypted message ,Cipher - transforming algorithm for plaintext to ciphertext,Key - infomation used in cipher known

It is known to all and the encryption key is secret. The same key is used by both the sender and the receiver. Traditional secret/single key cryptography uses one key where the sender should be able to communicate to the receiver the secret key by using a secure channel. A cryptanalyst who is able to obtain several pieces of ciphertext not be able to guess the key. (As the encryption algorithm is normally public knowledge). If this key is disclosed communications are compromised.
But public key cryptography apply two keys, a private and a public key. If parties are not equal then It is asymmetric. To encrypt message and verify signature, a public key that known to public can be used. To decrypt message, and sign signature ,a private key that known only to the recipient can be used. Public key cryptography introduced to address two issues: digital signature and key distribution. Key distribution implies how to secure communication without having to trust a KDC with your key. Digital signature implies how to verify a message comes intact from the

Digital signing can be provided using cryptography through the Asymmetric algorithm, Hashing functions or mixture of this two. Mostly common hash algorithm used in industries are SHA1 and MD5. Operation involve in Digital Sign are message sign and verify. To sign a message sender computes digest of messages (hash) using agreed hash function, cryptographic signature is made by encrypting the digest using sender’s private key and digital signature sent along with message. Message itself may not be necessarily be private. To verify a message receiver recomputes digest of received message (hash) using agreed hash function, decrypt the digest using sender’s public key to extract sender’s original digest and finally verifies the recomputed and decrypted digest match. Signature decryption identifies sender and verifies integrity of the message. Cryptography is greatly applied for authentication through various kind of protocol in

    The problem is to ensure that elderly medical patients take their medication and recommended dose at the proper time to ensure that they receive the necessary treatment, and prevent the condition from worsening in the process. To solve this problem, a device will need to be implemented that allows the user to be reminded when to take the medicine, and also be sure that the patient is taking the correct amount of medication. Our first idea was to develop a portable watch device with built in audio and visual cues to remind the patient of their need to take the medication. The device could be programmed ahead of time by a technician, and instruct the user to take the recommended dosage at the correct time.…

    There are several possible types of terrorist attacks using Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), using conventional firearms and explosives, or ”other means of attack (including low-tech devices and delivery, attacks on infrastructure, and cyber terrorism)”, (FEMA, 2002, P. 9). Each type of attack or a combination of several will need its own action plan by emergency managers and emergency responders, making the identification of the type of attack and weapon used critical. If an attack occurs, one tool available to a jurisdiction is the Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (THIRA), which summarizes the “threats and hazards of concern showing how they may affect the community” (DHS, 2013, P.1). The THIRA will outline the possible risks that would be facing emergency responders after a specific disaster and what they might face (FEMA, 2002). For example, the guide describes the threat of radiation after a nuclear/radiological attack, or the threat of contamination after a chemical or biological attack.…

    To explain this, we should already know that in real life scenarios, stack increases to lower memory addresses, whenever program calls some function, the address of function call instruction is saved in stack as a return for the function. When the function executes, it allocates local variables, including buffers to stack and they are given a lower address than the return address. So, in this scenario the return address is a certain level above the base address for buffers and if the buffer is overflowing, then it is most likely that an attacker can change return address as well. If the return address is changed to some random value, then it will cause segmentation fault, but if the return address is changed to a certain address where some executable code is present, then that may complete attackers intended tasks with the application.…

    The first part of the experiment was determining the resolution of the DAC in volts. Before a voltage was applied the noise was determined by measuring the DC offset, the reading of the DMM at an input of zero volts. This offset was removed from the recorded values in order to provide a more accurate reading of the resolution. These corrected values and their corresponding applied voltages can be found in Table 1 of the appendix. The lowest value recorded from the DMM was -9.968V and the highest value recorded was +9.968V making the range of the DMM about 19.94±0.01V. Using the equation for calculating resolution, the resolution was calculated for values of N from 10 to 18 in increments of 2 (recorded in Table 2).…

    Task-5 a) • Metals Metal structure is made up of crystals of metals which are made up of positive metal ions and these ions are surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. To separate these substances from this crystal lattice a lot of energy is needed. In between the positive and negative ions is present a strong electrostatic force of attraction. That is the reason why metals have strong melting and boiling points. In order to slide one layer of the metal ions over the other layer very less amount of energy is used.…
