some combination thereof: a) A hacker obtains millions of Yahoo passwords. b) Anthony accidentally cuts the electricity from the server room. c) The NSA finds an efficient method to break AES. d) Anna registers the domain name, "JohnSmith" and refuses to let John Smith buy or use the domain name. e) Some malware encrypts the victim’s hard drive with a secret key and a criminal asks for a ransom to decrypt it. f) The NSA wiretaps the cell phone of a suspect in a criminal investigation. g) A foreign state actor finds a zero-day vulnerability for voting machines used in the US.

Answer:

A) Violation of Confidentiality and Source Integrity:

Passwords are very confidential information and are usually protected by both the owner and the ower of the system (which in this case is Yahoo). To obtain the passwords, the hacker had to illegally gain access to the source of the data which is on Yahoo servers. Hence a breach of confidentiality and lack of adequate integrity on the part of Yahoo.

B) Source Integrity: Anthony accidentally cuts the electricity from the server room. Why would he be able to do that? how did he gain access into the server room? This speaks to source integrity. People should not be able to access the server room except they are authorised.

C) Source Integrity and Confidentiality: NSA finds an efficient method to break AES. AES refers to the Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is a symmetric encryption technology known as a block cipher.

It is used by the United States Government for the classification of information. Their ability to break this code speaks to Violation of Source Integrity. In this case, they haven't exactly hacked any document. However, any document that was encrypted using this technology is already compromised at the source.

D)   Anna registers the domain name, "JohnSmith" and refuses to let John Smith buy or use the domain name: Violation of Availability.

It is assumed here that John Smith was the original owner of the domain but it was highjacked at expiration and registered by Anna. This kind of breach is called Violation of Availability of the domain name.

E) Some malware encrypts the victim’s hard drive with a secret key and a criminal asks for a ransom to decrypt.

This move is called the Ransomeware attack. The Integrity of the source of information (which is the hard drive) is already compromised. This is a combination of Source Integrity or availability and confidentiality violation.

F) The wiretapping of a cell phone is a breach of confidentiality and data integrity.

G) when there is a vulnerability in a system or software that is unknown to those who should be interested, it is called a Zero-Day vulnerability. Where there is a Zero-Day vulnerability there could be a violation of confidentiality, data integrity, source data and or it's availability.

Cheers!

Write a program FindDuplicate.java that reads n integer arguments from the command line into an integer array of length n, where
kozerog [31]

Answer:

  1. public class FindDuplicate{
  2.    public static void main(String[] args) {
  3.        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
  4.        int n = 5;
  5.        int arr[] = new int[n];
  6.        for(int i=0; i < arr.length; i++){
  7.            int inputNum = input.nextInt();
  8.            if(inputNum >=1 && inputNum <=n) {
  9.                arr[i] = inputNum;
  10.            }
  11.        }
  12.        for(int j =0; j < arr.length; j++){
  13.            for(int k = 0; k < arr.length; k++){
  14.                if(j == k){
  15.                    continue;
  16.                }else{
  17.                    if(arr[j] == arr[k]){
  18.                        System.out.println("True");
  19.                        return;
  20.                    }
  21.                }
  22.            }
  23.        }
  24.        System.out.println("False");
  25.    }
  26. }

Explanation:

Firstly, create a Scanner object to get user input (Line 4).

Next, create an array with n-size (Line 7) and then create a for-loop to get user repeatedly enter an integer and assign the input value to the array (Line 9 - 14).

Next, create a double layer for-loop to check the each element in the array against the other elements to see if there is any duplication detected and display "True" (Line 21 - 22). If duplication is found the program will display True and terminate the whole program using return (Line 23). The condition set in Line 18 is to ensure the comparison is not between the same element.

If all the elements in the array are unique the if block (Line 21 - 23) won't run and it will proceed to Line 28 to display message "False".

Prove that any amount of postage greater than or equal to 64 cents can be obtained using only 5-cent and 17-cent stamps?
elixir [45]
Let P(n) be "a postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps if n is greater than 63".Basis step: P(64) is true since 64 cents postage can be formed with one 5-cent and one 17-cent stamp.Inductive step: Assume that P(n) is true, that is, postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps. We will show how to form postage of n + 1 cents. By the inductive hypothesis postage of n cents can be formed using 5-cent and 17-cent stamps. If this included a 17-cent stamp, replace this 17-cent stamp with two 5-cent stamps to obtain n + 1 cents postage. Otherwise, only 5-cent stamps were used and n  65. Hence there are at least three 5-cent stamps forming n cents. Remove three of these 5-cent stamps and replace them with two 17-cent stamps to obtain n + 1 cents postage.Hence P(n + 1) is true.

When there is uncertainty of the product quality, buyers should not anticipate that the temporary warehouse seller of unbranded
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Offer several prices and qualities.

Explanation:

When there is uncertainty of the product quality, buyers should not anticipate that the temporary warehouse seller of unbranded computer equipment will deliver high quality because they will actually offer several prices and qualities.

In the essence, buyers will need to consider the value they are getting for a price they pay. There will be huge variety so the more price an equipment has, the more likely it has the chance that it's one of the best quality and vice versa also holds true.
