The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Blockchain” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of blockchain. Be sure to include how blockchain is affecting a global economy and how you see it growing in the future. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology?  How does big data affect a global economy.

Prompt 3 “Government and Policies” (1-2 pages):  Discuss the role government plays in a global economy.  Also, look at what policies are currently in place and then discussion what policies should be put in place..

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately six to eight pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of eight to ten pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately six to eight pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

1 Page, Remember the APA cover page and the references 

1. For this discussion topic, you will need to research methods of dealing with add in hardware devices and how they work with virtualization.  Add in hardware would be items outside of the standard server configuration and might include things like USB license keys, barcode scanners, specialty video cards etc.  As part of the discussion you will want to identify the type of hardware you found and some recommended solutions for making it work with a virtual server. 

2. For this assignment, you need to investigate what options the hypervisor you recommended in your type 1 hypervisor compare assignment have to provide highly available services.  How do these items tie into what you read about in the chapter and which ones would you recommend implementing?  While you investigate the process of making your virtual machines highly available, what else did you run across that could have an impact on the availability of your machines and services that is outside of the control of your hypervisor?  Write up a summary of the features of the hypervisor you choose, a brief section on the non-hypervisor factors and your recommendations for which features are most important to implement to ensure the best availability of your virtual machines. (which i used Oracle Virtualbox)

For the final project, you will be conducting a forensics investigation using one of the following items:

1. A smartphone
2. A network (ideally, a wireless network)

 You  may use either for your investigation. However, be aware of legal  issues surrounding your data gathering. If you are using any system you  do not personally control and have authority to investigate/discover,  please get written permission from the owner/operator of the system or  refrain from your forensics analysis of that systems and use a personal  system. For a network, you can use your own personal home network. For a  smartphone, consider using an image from the Internet or a personal  device. There could be issues related to using a live, active, personal  device (example: corruption of the device). If using a personal device,  consider using an old, outdated phone, if available.

 You  will review various forensics tools used with your selected system.  Select a tool and use that tool to gather forensics data for analysis.  You are simulating the process of gathering this data, so you do not  need to investigate a compromised device or system. The project  deliverables are as follows:

 Week  7 – Prepare an investigative report of the forensics data capture  conducted using the tool selected for this purpose. The paper should  provide the following information: 

• Executive  Summary of your investigation, including a description of the device or  systems and the tool used for the forensics analysis
• Step-by-step description you used to gather data for analysis
• Report on the information that was obtainable from the device
• Graphics evidence that you conducted the forensics data gathering and analysis

 The  paper should be in a form that would be used for reporting to a court  or a law enforcement agency. Be sure to provide graphics evidence of  your forensics investigation effort (Screenshots, reports, etc.).  References should be in APA format.

 Procedure

 Implement one program that has two functions: one for encryption and one for decryption. 

Encryption: 1. Read keys from user input. Prompt the user to enter a character for each key. 2. Read the plain text (“data”) from the input file. The name of the input file is one of the command line argument. 3. Implement your encryption algorithm. 4. Encrypt “data” and write to a file. (The name of the file is chosen by the programmer.) 

Decryption: 1. Read keys from user input. Prompt the user to enter a character for each key. 5. Read the file that encrypted data was saved and extract the encrypted “data”. The name of the encrypted file is one of the command line argument. 2. Implement your decryption algorithm. 3. Decrypt the “data” and write to a file.

Cybercrime Law, Computer-Integrity Crime, Fraud, and Abuse.

 Preamble.

Integrity of evidence, cyber-crime, fraud, and abuse are prefaced on the assumption that computer and internet technologies are designed to make life easier for a public and private organization, the judicial system, and forensic investigators; it has, unfortunately, made life incredibly challenging and enduring in all levels of forensic investigation. Cyber-crime, fraud, abuse, are open-ended criminal operations, allowing unauthorized users to obtain information from various sources against a target organization. Naturally, criminals are endowed with extraordinary skills and expertise to break into any organization’s secured network center. Most criminal are have access automated freeware tools available on computer and Internet and breaks into the organization’s secured network system, data, assets, resources, to make forensic investigation exceedingly tricky. Most organizations and the global community are actively using computer and internet technologies to build four walls around security data storage centers, creating an opportunity for forensic investigator’s ability to produce reliable evidence. Similarly, organizations and the global defensive approach require a proactive plan of action to guide against data breach. This section examines the primary federal statutes used to prosecute cybercrime. The focus is on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the statutes criminalizing identity theft, child pornography, and copyright and trademark offenses (Casey, 2011: 86-95).

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act  

The Computer Fraud and Act, Abuse is the primary source of federal law related to computer cybercrimes, and approval of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in 1986. The amendments were designed to update specific Arts provisions in light of advancements in computer and internet technologies and to address loopholes that existed in earlier versions of the Act. Criminals gaining unauthorized access to a computer, disseminating malware, launching denial of service attacks, trafficking passwords, and using computers and the internet to commit fraud. Criminals are sophisticated and can intentionally use the computer and internet technologies without authorization.   

Research Question 2:1. Develop a measurable research framework of hos computer fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) can play a role during the forensic investigation and impact on conclusive evidence in court. 

Research Question 2:2. To what extent can the computer fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) of 1986 empowers forensic investigation to bring cyber-crime, fraud, and abuse to justice.

 Situation 1.      

Naturally, criminals often retain extraordinary skills and expertise to break into any

organization’s secured network center. The criminal fully utilizes automated freeware

tools available on computers and the Internet and breaks into the organization’s secured network system, data, assets, resources, and makes forensic investigation exceedingly.

• These extraordinary skills, expertise, and availability of automated freeware tools are creating a considerable obstacle against the forensic investigation process. We are the nation of law.

Question 2:3. Develop a measurable research framework of amendment items needed to strengthen the computer fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), and expand forensic investigator authority over criminal activities.
