Explanation of Solution

Difference between application security engineering and infrastructure security engineering:

While considering security issues, one needs to consider both application software and the infrastructure on which system is built.

The difference between application security engineering and infrastructure security engineering are mentioned below:

Application Security EngineeringInfrastructure Security Engineering
Application security engineering is a problem in software engineering where engineers should ensure that the system is designed to resist attacks.Infrastructure Security Engineering is management problem in which the system manages to configure the infrastructure to resist attacks.
It is important as software engineering is concerned with the evolution and development of systems that can resist malicious attacks.As infrastructures components are widely available, the majority of attacks hence focus on system infrastructures.
Application security improves the security of an application often by finding, fixing and preventing security vulnerabilities.System managers have to set up the infrastructure in order to make effective use of infrastructure security features available and fix the infrastructure security vulnerabilities.
It uses software, hardware, and procedural methods to protect applications from external threats. 

It is primarily concerned with making sure that data in any form is kept secure in terms of preserving its confidentiality, integrity and availability.

6. See the code below and solve the following. import java.io.*; public class DataStream { } public static void main(String[] args) } DataOutputStream output = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("temp.dat")); output.writeUTF("Book1"); output.writeInt(85); output.writeUTF("Book2"); output.writeInt(125); output.writeUTF("Book3"); output.writeInt(70); output.close(); // ToDo: Read all data from temp.dat and print the data to the standard output (monitor) 6-1. This program has a compile error, and the message is “Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException". How do you fix this error? (1 point) 6-2. Is FileNotFoundException a checked exception or an unchecked exception? (1 point) 6-3. What is the difference between checked exception and unchecked exception? (1 point) 6-4. Please complete the above program by reading all data from temp.dat and print the data to the standard output (monitor) by using System.out.print, System.out.println or System.out.printf method. (2 points)
Write a program that reads a list of integers from input and determines if the list is a palindrome (values are identical from first to last and last to first). The input begins with an integer indicating the length of the list that follows. Assume the list will contain a maximum of 20 integers. Output "yes" if the list is a palindrome and "no" otherwise. The output ends with a newline. Hints:   - use a for loop to populate the array based on the specified size (the first number entered)              - use a for loop to check first value with last value, second value with second from end, etc.              - if the values do not match, set a Boolean variable to flag which statement to output (yes or no)   Ex: If the input is (remember to include spaces between the numbers): 6 1 5 9 9 5 1 the output is: yes Ex: If the input is: 5 1 2 3 4 5 the output is: C++ coding
