Locate a peer-reviewed study regarding standardized testing, achievement tests, and/or norm-referenced testing.
Provide a one-page summary and citation (including author(s)) of the article in APA format. Upload a copy of the article in addition to your summary. Your summary should be uploaded/attached as a Word Document.
Company strategies cannot be executed well without a number of support systems to carry on business operations. Search for recent articles that discuss how a company has used real-time information systems to aid the cause of effective strategy execution. Explain their use of the information and how it relates to our coursework from this week. Based on our readings from this week, what one enhancement or addition would you recommend the company make and why? – 500 Words with references APA format – Attached chapter 11 this week reading for reference.
You must have at least one course and one non-course scholarly/peer reviewed source in your initial posting
1. Calculate the timing of password-guessing attacks:
(a) If passwords are three uppercase alphabetic characters long, how much time would it take to determine a particular password, assuming that testing an individual password requires 5 seconds? How much time if testing requires 0.001 seconds?
(b) Argue for a particular amount of time as the starting point for “secure.” That is, suppose an attacker plans to use a brute-force attack to determine a password. For what value of x (the total amount of time to try as many passwords as necessary) would the attacker find this attack prohibitively long?
(c) If the cutoff between “insecure” and “secure” were x amount of time, how long would a secure password have to be? State and justify your assumptions regarding the character set from which the password is selected and the amount of time required to test a single password.
2. Describe each of the following four kinds of access control mechanisms in terms of (a) ease of determining authorized access during execution, (b) ease of adding access for a new subject, (c) ease of deleting access by a subject, and (d) ease of creating a new object to which all subjects by default have access.
• per-subject access control list (that is, one list for each subject tells all the objects to which that subject has access)
• per-object access control list (that is, one list for each object tells all the subjects who have access to that object)
• access control matrix
• capability
3. Design a protocol by which two mutually suspicious parties can authenticate each other. Your protocol should be usable the first time these parties try to authenticate each other.
4. List three reasons people might be reluctant to use biometrics for authentication. Can you think of ways to counter those objections?
5. If you forget your password for a website and you click [Forgot my password], sometimes the company sends you a new password by email but sometimes it sends you your old password by email. Compare these two cases in terms of vulnerability of the website owner.
6. Defeating authentication follows the method–opportunity–motive paradigm described in Chapter 1. Discuss how these three factors apply to an attack on authentication.
7. Suggest a source of some very long unpredictable numbers. Your source must be something that both the sender and receiver can readily access but that is not obvious to outsiders and not transmitted directly from sender to receiver.
8. Humans are said to be the weakest link in any security system. Give an example for each of the following:
(a) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of encrypted data
(b) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of identification and authentication
(c) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of access control.
9. Explain why hash collisions occur. That is, why must there always be two different plaintexts that have the same hash value?
10. What property of a hash function means that collisions are not a security problem? That is, why can an attacker not capitalize on collisions and change the underlying plaintext to another form whose value collides with the hash value of the original plaintext?
In the realm of marketing, a successful branding strategy is one of the most important contributors to organizational success. A solid branding strategy can help add visibility and credibility to a company’s products.
Similarly, nurse-scholars can build a personal brand to add visibility and credibility to their work. You can begin building your brand by developing and maintaining an academic portfolio. Such an activity can help share the results of your efforts and contribute to your success. This Module’s Discussion asks you to consider and share strategies for building your portfolio.
Post an explanation of at least two strategies for including academic activities and accomplishments into your professional development goals. Then, explain how those goals may align with the University’s emphasis on social change. Be specific and provide examples.
1.Briefly describe the process of computing a corporation’s taxable income assuming the corporation must use GAAP to determine its book income. How might the process differ for corporations not required to use GAAP for book purposes?
2.In general terms, identify the similarities and differences between the corporate taxable income formula and the individual taxable income formula.

Pick a position in the Texas Government and write a paper on that position.
Describe the role, explain what does this person does and the sources of this person’s power (i.e. Texas Constitution or another law or bill), who does this person share power with, who does this person report to / who provides a “check and balance” on this position? o Explain how the role is filled (i.e. appointed or elected and the process). o Who is the current person in this position and provide background information about this person and major goals / initiatives this individual has in this position. o Is this person affiliated with a political party? What role does that play in this position (i.e. with election or appointment, with how this person carries out their duties, with decisions the person makes, with accountability)? o What are the major issues confronting the person in this position currently? o What is your opinion of this person and why? o Based on your research, what are the major impacts in history of this position and explain.
NOte: Paper should strictly follow APA Format and should be at least 3 pages and have at least 4 credible sources
As additional background, read the following two articles:
Alzahrani, A., & Khalid, R. (2016). Information security issues and threats in Saudi Arabia: A research survey. IJCSI International Journal of Computer Science Issues, 13(6).
Peters, S. (2015). The 7 best social engineering attacks ever. Retrieved from http://www.darkreading.com/the-7-best-social-engin…
In analysis, highlight and share an experiment that you might utilize to perform a social engineering attack on a Saudi company. Discuss what methods and weaknesses you would use to exploit the employees or family members of employees to try and gain positive access and/or control. Include any additional recommendations to the company/employees to protect against such exploitation,

For this week’s research paper, search the Internet and explain why some organizations are accepting and other organizations are rejecting the use of Bitcoins as a standard form of currency. Your paper needs to identify two major companies that have adopted Bitcoin technology as well as one that has refused to accept Bitcoin as a form of currency.

Models that pertain to the distribution of a resource within supply chains are often referred to as networks. Distribution among these networks is key to the success of a business while also keeping cost production at a minimum. Discuss at least three ways that linear optimization models can be applied to both physical as well as abstract network problems to increase efficiency in supply chain management.
