Describing fundamental components of a telecommunications system.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The fundamental components of a telecommunication system are:
- Sending Unit
- Modem
- Transmission Media
- Receiving unit
Sending Unit: A sending unit can be a person, computer system, a terminal or another device which is responsible with sending the message. The message which is to be sent originates at this sending unit.
Modem: Modem is responsible with performing many tasks which include converting signal into different forms from one type to another. It can convert the analog signal to digital and vice-versa. Most of the time digital signals are generated by sending devices and converted to analog form for transmission through transmission media. This process is repeated in reverse at the receiver end.
Transmission media: Transmission media are used to transmit signal generated by modem from one location to another. There are various types of transmission media in use which differ from each other depending on various factors such as transmission speed, cost and bandwidth. Some of the commonly used transmission media are twisted pair cables, coaxial cables, and fiber-optic cables.
Receiving unit: Receiving unit is similar to sending unit. It can be a person, a computer system, a terminal or another device who receives the message or information sent by the sending unit.

How would I go about creating this computer database in MariaDB with sql?
Create a database name "dbXXXXXX" Select the database using the "use [database name]" command.
Now you are in the database.
Based on the above schema from Enrolment System database, create all the tables with the last 6 digits of "123456", then the table name for table Lecturer should be "123456_Lecturer". Refer to basic SQL lecture note to create table that has primary keys and Foreign Keys. Provide the datatype of each attributes.
Add a column called "Department" with datatype "VARCHAR(12)" to the table "Lecturer". Shows the metadata of the updated "Lecturer" table. (Use Describe command)
Drop the "Department" column from the table "Lecturer", and show the metadata of the updated "Lecturer" table.
Insert three (3) data to each of the table in the tables created.
Note: If you have foreign key issues, please disable foreign key constraints before inserting the data, see below

Assume that Oscar can observe all messages sent between Rina and Naseem. Oscar has no knowledge of any keys but the public one, in the case of DS. State whether DS and MAC protect against each attack and, if they do, how. The value auth(x) is computed with a DS or a MAC algorithm. In each scenario, assume the message M = x#####auth(x). (Message integrity) Rina has the textual data x = “Transfer $1000 to Mark” to send to Naseem. To ensure the integrity of the data, Rina generates auth(x), forms a message M, and then sends M in cleartext to Naseem. Oscar intercepts the message and replaces “Mark” with “Oscar.” Will Naseem detect this in the case of either DS or MAC? If yes, how will Naseem detect it? If not, why?
