Explanation of Solution

Cryptography and cryptanalysis:

  • Cryptography is a technique to convert the plain text to cyber text to protect the data from hackers.
  • Cryptanalysis is the art of study to decrypt the cyber text without knowing the key.

Cryptography:

Cryptography is a technique to encrypt and decrypt the data using keys. The user can send or receive data across insecure networks using the cryptography. This system may use same or different keys for sender and receiver.

This technique can be categorized into two types:

  • Symmetric key cryptography.
  • Asymmetric key cryptography.

Symmetric key cryptography:

This cryptography uses the same secret key for sender and receiver to encrypt and decrypt the message.

Asymmetric key cryptography:

The sender and receiver uses different keys for encryption and decryption. It is otherwise known as public key cryptography.

Cryptanalysis:

Cryptanalysis is a study of retrieving plain text from a cipher text without knowing the encryption key and algorithm used to encrypt it. This art used to defeat cryptographic security and gain access to the contents of encrypted messages. The cryptanalysts may responsible for following things:

  • Design the security systems to prevent the vulnerabilities.
  • Evaluate and analyze the security systems and algorithm for cryptography.
  • Protecting critical data from being modified and deleted.

Simulate on a vertical time axis (with events labeled with the senders names A-D) the contention period of FOUR equally distanced Ethernet stations that all attempt to transmit at T=0 a minimally sized frame, in the style of the binary Exponential Backoff Algorithm. Assume that time is measured in slot times, and that exactly one slot time is needed to detect a collision (so that if two stations transmit at T=1 and collide, and one of them chooses a backoff time k=0, then that station will transmit again at T=2). Use as coin flip (source of randomness) an ID written in binary. use the bits in order from the least significant to the most significant. If for a given coin throw you need k bits, use the least significant ID bit extracted in the corresponding group of bits, as the least significant bit of the coin thrown. Start be writing the ID, which is 904012207 As example of the expected answer format,  with the random sequence R:   100101010101001011001010 01 01011  10010 1010 1010 010…
Big State University The Big State University course catalog reads as follows: "To enroll in MIS 260, which is an advanced course, a student must complete two prerequisites: MIS 120 and MIS 222. A student who completes either one of these prerequisites and obtains the instructor's permission, however, will be allowed to take MIS 260." Tasks 1. Create a decision table that describes the Big State University course catalog regarding eligibility for MIS 260. Show all possible rules. 2. Simplify the table you just created. Describe the results. 3. Draw a simplified decision tree to represent the Big State University catalog. Describe the results. 4. Why might you use a decision tree rather than a decision table?
