This week’s journal article was focused on the Complexity of Information Systems Research in the Digital World. Complexity is increasing as new technologies are emerging every day. This complexity impacts human experiences. Organizations are turning to digitally enabled solutions to assist with the emergence of digitalization.
Please review the article and define the various technologies that are emerging as noted in the article. Note how these emerging technologies are impacting organizations and what organizations can to do to reduce the burden of digitalization.
Be sure to use the any Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research. Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.
The paper should meet the following requirements:
3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
APA guidelines must be followed. The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.
The writing should be clear and concise. Headings should be used to transition thoughts. Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.
Create a program using the principles of inheritance based on the following scenario: Scenario: The teachers of a local school need a program to teach their students the basics about animals and their characteristics. The teachers want the program to contain a database of animals, from which the teachers can choose animals to add to a list. The list will be displayed on the students’ monitors so they can study the animals and their characteristics. Right now, the teachers want a program that handles only mammals and birds, but in the future they may want to add other types of animals. The teachers also expect the program to run smoothly and be thoroughly tested to handle extraneous input. Create a program that fulfills the specifications outlined in the scenario above. Use the concept of inheritance to allow for later additions to the program. Also use the TDD concepts from Unit 1 to test the program as you go.
Review the following questions from Network security: Private communication in a public world and provide your responses in a Word document. In answering each prompt, be sure to defend your answers and explain how you have arrived at your solution.
Random J. Protocol-Designer has been told to design a scheme to prevent messages from being modified by an intruder. Random J. decides to append to each message a hash of that message. Why does this not solve the problem?
Hint: We know of a protocol that uses this technique in an attempt to gain security.
Suppose Alice, Bob, and Carol want to use secret key technology to authenticate each other. If they all used the same secret key, K, then Bob could impersonate Carol to Alice (actually any of the three could impersonate the other to the third). Suppose instead that each had their own secret key; so Alice uses KA, Bob uses KB, and Carol uses KC. This means that each one, to prove his or her identity, responds to a challenge with a function of his or her secret key. Is this more secure than having them all use the same secret key?
Hint: What does Alice need to know in order to verify Carol’s answer to Alice’s challenge?
Assume a cryptographic algorithm in which the performance for the good guys (the ones that know the key) grows linearly with the length of the key and for which the only way to break it is a brute-force attack of trying all possible keys. Then, suppose the performance for the good guys is adequate (e.g., it can encrypt and decrypt as fast as the bits can be transmitted over the wire) at a certain size key. Finally, suppose advances in computer technology make computers twice as fast. Given that both parties— the good guys and the bad guys— get faster computers, does this advancement in computer speeds work to the advantage of the good guys? The bad guys? Or does it not make any difference?

In this lab you’ll set up your own local environment you’ll use in later labs to set up Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric development and deployment environments. When you finish this lab, you’ll have the infrastructure in place to build many different types of virtual environments on your own computer.

Microsoft Excel – Tips and Tricks
Excel has more to it that meets the eye. At first glance it looks like a program to make charts, graphs, and other types of charts. One of the best features is its ability to use math formulas. This feature is helpful if you’re making any type of finance spreadsheet. With the right formulas, you can have Excel automatically add, subtract, multiply, divide, find the range, or just the sub total of any data entered in the cell(s). These formulas automatically update, so you can add data to your spreadsheet and know that it’s going to give you the right total(s) without you having to format it every time.

Protecting Yourself from Identity Theft
The fastest growing crime in the United States is identity theft. More than nine million people fall victim each year, with the unauthorized use of an existing credit card accounting for much of the problem. The National Crime Victimization Survey reports that household identity theft losses amount to more than $13 billion each year, and that figure does not account for the aggravation and time required to repair the accounts.

SQL is a pervasive querying language. While there is one primary SQL dialect that all SQL RDBMS implementations must support, and that’s ANSI SQL, each database platform comes out with its own context. Each of these dialects has its own DDL (Data Definition Language). DML (Data Manipulation Language). and DQL (Data Query Language). Other than for marketing purposes (to sell the product as unique), what is the value of creating a new variation of a SQL dialect.
Provide an example of one SQL dialect as part of your write-up.
