Consider a Feistelcipher composed of sixteen rounds with a block length of 128 bits and a key length of 128 bits. Suppose that, for a given k, the key scheduling algorithm determines values for the first eight round keys, k1, k2, ……. k8, and then sets

k9 = k8, k10=k7, k11=k6, …. , k16=k1

Suppose you have a cipher-textc. Explain how, with access to an encryption oracle, you can decrypt c and determine m using just a single oracle query.

This shows that such a cipher is vulnerable to a chosen plain-text attack. (An encryption oracle can be thought of as a device that, when given a plain-text, returns the corresponding cipher-text. The internal details of the device are not known to you and you cannot break open the device. You can only gain information from the oracle by making queries to it and observing its responses.)

Respond to the following in a minimum of 185 words:

The waterfall project management model is often used for non-IT projects, while the Agile project management model is often used for IT projects.

  • Why is this the case?
  • What differences between IT and non-IT projects make each more appropriate for a different project management model? Are there exceptions?
  • What drawbacks might occur from using the waterfall model for an IT project and the Agile approach for a non-IT project?

Consider the transactions shown in Table 6.15, with an item taxonomy given in Figure 6.15 (Chapter 6)

(a) What are the main challenges of mining association rules with item taxonomy?

(b) Consider the approach where each transactiontis replaced by an extended transactiont_that contains all the items intas well as their respective ancestors. For example, the transactiont={Chips,Cookies}will be replaced byt_={Chips,Cookies,Snack Food,Food}. Use this approach to derive all frequent itemsets (up to size 4) with support≥70%.

(c) Consider an alternative approach where the frequent itemsets are generated one level at a time. Initially, all the frequent itemsets involving items at the highest level of the hierarchy are generated. Next, we use the frequent itemsets discovered at the higher level of the hierarchy to generate candidate itemsets involving items at the lower levels of the hierarchy. For example, we generate the candidate itemset{Chips,Diet Soda}only if{Snack Food,Soda}is frequent. Use this approach to derive all frequent itemsets (up to size 4) with support≥70%.

For each of the following passage, (1) list the conclusion and premises.

2. “I love Reason [magazine], but [regarding a previous article by Nick Gillespie] I’m wondering if all the illegal drugs that Nick Gillespie used to take are finally getting to him. He has a right to speak out against Presidnet Bush, by when he refers to him as “the millionaire president who waited out the Vietnam War in the Texas Air National Gaurd,” it reminds me of the garbage rhetoric that I might see if I were reading Ted Rall, or Susan Sontage, or one of the other hate-mongering, America-basing , leftist whiners. That kind of ad hominem attack is not only disrespectful to a man who is doing a damned good job as commander-in-chief (with approval rating os more than 80 percent); it detracts from the whole point of the article.” [Letter to the editor, Reason, Judy 2002]

It is important to understand what information systems are and why they are essential for running and managing a business. It is also important to understand the different systems that support different groups or levels of management. In addition, digital technology and the Internet play a key role in executing major business processes in the enterprise. Also, it is important to understand the ethical, social, and political issues raised by information systems. The case studies below provide you with an opportunity to critically analyze events that are taking place in real-life businesses. This helps to develop your critical thinking and research skills as you research each of these scenarios. For this assignment, review four case studies. Then, in an essay, evaluate the studies and respond to each of the questions below, using both critical thinking and theory as well as supporting documentation. In Chapter 1, read the case study “UPS Competes Globally with Information Technology” on pages 23–24 of the textbook. Then, answer the questions below. How does UPS use information systems technology to achieve its strategic goals of being more efficient and customer oriented? What would happen if the automated package tracking system was not available? Discuss how globalization has “flattened” the world. In Chapter 2, read the case study “Data Changes How NFL Teams Play the Game and How Fans See It” on pages 52–53 of the textbook. The, address the prompts below. Analyze how information systems are transforming business. What types of systems does the NFL and its teams use? What is the role that these systems play in improving both operations and decision-making? In Chapter 3, read the case study “Smart Products—Coming Your Way” on pages 102–103 of the textbook. Then, address the prompts below. Explain the importance of collaboration and information sharing for businesses. Explain what a “smart” product is, and use an example. How do smart products increase rivalry among firms? In Chapter 4, read the case study “Are Cars Becoming Big Brother on Wheels?” on pages 121–122 of the textbook.Then, address the prompts below. Describe how new technology trends may cause ethical dilemmas. Discuss at least one ethical, social, and political issue raised by embedded cyber connections in cars. Discuss how big data analytics are being applied to all of the data generated by motor vehicles. In formatting your case analysis, do not use the question-and-answer format; instead, use an essay format with subheadings. Your APA-formatted case study must be at least four pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages). You are required to use a minimum of three peer-reviewed, academic sources that are no more than 5 years old (one may be your textbook). All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; all paraphrased material must have accompanying in-text citations.

Assignment Content:

  1. A project plan is a document created at the beginning of the project lifecycle that gives stakeholders and everyone else involved in a project a clear idea of what a project will entail in terms of effort, time, cost, and anticipated results.One of the things that must be identified before the project plan can be created is the methodology, or approach, the project manager plans to use to manage the project. Choosing a methodology is important because a methodology provides the framework—that is, an overall process and suggested documents and deliverables—that will guide project development from beginning to end. Some project methodologies are more appropriate for some types of projects than for others.For this assignment, you will:
    1. Choose a project methodology for two different projects based on project requirements, and explain why you chose each methodology for each project.
    2. Brainstorm your own project and create a draft simplified project plan for that project. You must indicate in your simplified project plan whether you intend to apply the Agile or waterfall methodology. You may create your simplified project plan using Microsoft®Excel®or, if you choose, another software application such as Microsoft®Project®.
    3. To complete this assignment:ReadAgile Project Management and the PMBOK®Guide.AnswertheMethodology Selection and Rationalequestions.Brainstorma project you would like to explore in this course. You may choose a project from your work experience, from a description of a project in your textbook or in an online reading, or a project that is brand new but that you think would improve a business process at work, at home, or at school.Readthe two linked examples of project plans implemented as Microsoft®Excel®spreadsheets,Example Plan AandExample Plan B. You will be using these as guides in creating your own draft project plan. Notice especially the differences between these two examples in terms of length (overall and task length), structure of the work breakdown (iterative vs. non-iterative), and methodology.Researchadditional project plan examples online.Createa simplified project plan for your own brainstormed project that resembles the two linked examples.Saveyour simplified project plan as a Microsoft®Excel®spreadsheet document.Submitboth your completed Methodology Selection and Rationale questions and your project plan draft (Microsoft®Excel®document).
