Chapter 7, Problem 2RQ

Explanation of Solution

Computer Networks:

  • Computer networks is defined as two or more computers used to communicate with each other.
  • Group of computers can share resources and information through networks.
  • The important part of the modern world is the computer networks, because internet is based on computer networks only.

Type of computer networks:

There are three types of computer networks. They are:

  • LAN (Local Area Network)
  • MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
  • WAN (Wide Area Network)

Signal:

The signal is generally signifies the electromagnetic or electrical encoding of data. For transferring data from one location to another location the signal is used.

There are two types of signals:

  • Analog signal
  • Digital signal

The signals which are in and around us are in the form of analog signal...

Explanation of Solution

Difference between LAN, MAN and WAN:

LANMANWAN
Within a small area a network that is used to connect the computers is called as LAN (Local Area Network).

Within several buildings in a same city a network that connects the computer is called as MAN (Metropolitan Area Network).

The large geographical area must be connected via WAN (Wide Area Network).

In the small areas, the LAN gives an interface between the computers and shares some of the resources.

It is a collection of numerous LANs and executed using high backbone methods such as fiber optical cable...

You are working with a database table that contains customer data. The table includes columns about customer location such as city, state, and country. You want to retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name. You decide to use the SUBSTR function to retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name, and use the AS command to store the result in a new column called new_country.  You write the SQL query below. Add a statement to your SQL query that will retrieve the first 3 letters of each country name and store the result in a new column as new_country.
We are considering the RSA encryption scheme. The involved numbers are small, so the communication is insecure.  Alice's public key (n,public_key) is (247,7). A code breaker manages to factories  247 = 13 x 19  Determine Alice's secret key. To solve the problem, you need not use the extended Euclid algorithm, but you may assume that her private key is one of the following numbers 31,35,55,59,77,89.
Consider the following Turing Machine (TM). Does the TM halt if it begins on the empty tape? If it halts, after how many steps? Does the TM halt if it begins on a tape that contains a single letter A followed by blanks? Justify your answer.
