Answer:

Hash.

Explanation:

An authentication can be defined as the process of verifying the identity of an individual or electronic device. Authentication work based on the principle (framework) of matching an incoming request from a user or electronic device to a set of uniquely defined credentials.

Basically, authentication ensures a user is truly who he or she claims to be, as well as confirm that an electronic device is valid through the process of verification. Smart cards, digital certificates, picture passwords, and biometrics are generally used to perform an authentication in the field of computer.

Hence, when authenticating a user's password, the password supplied by the user is authenticated by comparing the hash of the password with the one stored on the system.

In Computer science, a hash function can be defined as any function which is used to map data by accepting a block of data with variable length size or arbitrary size as input to produce a fixed size hash values or codes.

Generally, when a block of data (input) of arbitrary size is hashed, the resulting hash values or codes is usually smaller than the input data. Thus, hash functions are considered to be a compression of data and as a result, sometimes called compression functions. Basically, the block size of a hash function typically ranges from 128 bits to 512 bits.

Design a software system for a bookstore that keeps an inventory of two types of books: Traditional books and books on CD. Books
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. In this scenario, the best solution would have an Object of Traditional Books, CD, Music, Bookstore and Customer.

b. All five objects would be able to be called by the main program loop and the Customer Object would call upon and use either the Books or CD object, While the Bookstore object would call upon all of the other objects.

c. Both the Bookstore object and Customer object will "have" other objects as the Bookstore needs to hold information on every Book or CD in the Inventory. While the Customer object would call upon the Book and CD object that they are purchasing.

d. The Music Object will extend the CD object and use information on the CD object as its parent class.

e. Since the Music Object extends the CD object it is also considered a CD since it is in CD format like the Books on CD and therefore is both objects.
