Chapter 10, Problem 1RQ

Explanation of Solution

Explanation of the given statement:

The given statement is “A transaction is a logical unit of work”. The statement describes the meaning of transaction in single statement. A transaction is a sequence of process that must be entirely completed or aborted. Intermediate states are not acceptable in the process of transaction.

  • In DBMS, transaction act as a unit of logical related commands in which all the steps must be fully completed. If any of the SQL (Structured Query Language) command fails, the entire transaction is rolled back to the original database.
  • If the transaction is acceptable by the DBMS (Database Management Systems), the transaction changes the database from one consistent state to another. To avoid inconsistent state, the DBMS must accept all database operations of the transaction are completed before the database committed.
  • Consider the below example:
    • The database “sales” requires a minimum of two database operations. One is creation of product and another one is payment.
    • If the first operation is completed, the database will be left in an inconsistent state and the entire database is canceled. The transaction is accepted when all two operations are completed in the database.

3. Problem Description: Define the Circle2D class that contains: Two double data fields named x and y that specify the center of the circle with get methods. • A data field radius with a get method. • A no-arg constructor that creates a default circle with (0, 0) for (x, y) and 1 for radius. • A constructor that creates a circle with the specified x, y, and radius. • A method getArea() that returns the area of the circle. • A method getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter of the circle. • • • A method contains(double x, double y) that returns true if the specified point (x, y) is inside this circle. See Figure (a). A method contains(Circle2D circle) that returns true if the specified circle is inside this circle. See Figure (b). A method overlaps (Circle2D circle) that returns true if the specified circle overlaps with this circle. See the figure below. р O со (a) (b) (c)< Figure (a) A point is inside the circle. (b) A circle is inside another circle. (c) A circle overlaps another…
1. Explain in detail with examples each of the following fundamental security design principles: economy of mechanism, fail-safe default, complete mediation, open design, separation of privilege, least privilege, least common mechanism, psychological acceptability, isolation, encapsulation, modularity, layering, and least astonishment.
Security in general means the protection of an asset. In the context of computer and network security, explore and explain what assets must be protected within an online university. What the threats are to the security of these assets, and what countermeasures are available to mitigate and protect the organization from such threats. For each of the assets you identify, assign an impact level (low, moderate, or high) for the loss of confidentiality, availability, and integrity. Justify your answers.
