Answer:
Encryption
Explanation:
Encryption is a term in the field of computer security (Cryptology) this is a process of encoding information in a way that hackers and eavesdroppers cannot read. The process of encryption involves a plain text (message) been converted into a scrambled text (cipher text) with an encryption algorithm (key) in this way, if the message is intercepted by a hacker he/she is unable to read the contents. Only the authorized party with a decryption key will be able to decrypt back to a plain text and read the contents of the message
Answer:
The wireless adapter to use is the Wireless USB 2.0 Extender
Explanation:
The Wireless USB 2.0 Extender is a USB component that enables a computer to connect to and communicate with other computers on a network, or even to connect to the internet.
It uses an IEEE 802.11g radio platform and communicates within a radio frequency range of 2.4GHz.
Therefore, in cases where a notebook computer does not have a built-in wireless LAN card or PC card interface, you can use the Wireless USB 2.0 Extender as the best solution to that problem.
Answer:
z = a.c' + a.b.d' + b.c'.d'
Explanation:
The truth table for this question is provided in the attachment to this question.
N.B - a' = not a!
The rows with output of 1 come from the following relations: 01 > 00, 10 > 00, 10 > 01, 11 > 00, 11 > 01, 11 > 10
This means that the Boolean expression is a sum of all the rows with output of 1.
z = a'bc'd' + ab'c'd' + ab'c'd + abc'd' + abc'd + abcd'
On simplification,
z = bc'd' + ab'c' + ac'd' + ac'd + abc' + abd'
z = ac' + abd' + bc'd'
Hope this helps!
Answer:
(b) Windows is an open source operating system (<em>This is not correct</em>)
Explanation:
Option a is <em>correct</em> because Xerox PARC(Palo Alto Research Center), which is a subsidiary of the Xerox corporation, has been greatly responsible for invention and development in modern computing devices. Some of these developments are in Ethernet and graphical user interface (making use of menus, icons e.t.c).
Option b is <em>not correct</em> because Windows Operating system is not an open source operating system. Open source OS means users can interact with the driving code of the OS and make modifications. Windows does not support this feature. Operating systems that are open source include Linux and OpenSolaris.
Option c is <em>correct</em>. An operating system has two main components - the kernel and the user interface. The core component of an operating system is the Kernel as it interacts directly with the hardware and manages system resources. The user interface on the other hand allows users to interact with the kernel of the operating system using texts and/or graphics as commands.
Option d is <em>correct</em>. Linux operating system is an open source OS. Therefore, the source code is made available to the public for examination and modification.
