Plagiarism is serious and will not be tolerated. Plagiarism is using the work of others and offering it as one’s own. This includes the use of another’s ideas or writings without proper acknowledgment, submitting a paper written by another, or submitting an examination or assignment containing work copied from someone else.
The objective is to do personal research on each of the assigned Chapters, then in a CONCISE format, summarize your findings. Provide a minimum of one (1) paragraph per Chapter.
“Research” means that you will do additional reading, discussion, &/or data gathering outside of the course lecture and the assigned textbook. Any other source is valid, but you may not reword, quote, or reference the research sources. You must formulate your own ideas and communicate them in your own words; thereby, showing you have applied critical thinking regarding the Chapter topics.
It is suggested you use a Research Theme to help you stay focused, and to provide continuity throughout your research. Here is a list of ideas, but this list is not all-inclusive:

Chapter Research Reports:
Prepare and present a summary report for each week
of class. One entry per week for Chapters 2-10. O
bjective
is to do personal research on topic of the week and
in a CONCISE format, report findings. Minimum one
(1)
paragraph per week. Use a Research Theme: focus on
any of these areas:
•
Current technologies available to support management
functions,
•
Best Practices,
•
future improvements/technologies, or
•
other standards related to your specific field.
Institutional Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is serious and will not be tolerated. Plagiarism is using the work of others
and offering it as one’s own. This includes the use of another’s ideas or writings without
proper acknowledgment, submitting a paper written by another, or submitting an
examination or assignment containing work copied from someone else.
A faculty member will take disciplinary action when plagiarism is discerned. Disciplinary
action may take the form of a warning or the assigning of a failing grade for the
assignment, examination, or entire course. The faculty member may recommend to the
VPASL that the student be expelled from class.
The following procedures will be followed in cases of plagiarism:
1. After plagiarism is discerned, the faculty member should immediately inform the
student of the alleged charge. Plagiarism must be discerned, not merely suspected.
If at all possible, evidence should be available.
2. The faculty member must, prior to the next class meeting, inform in writing the
student, the student’s advisor, the faculty member’s Department Chair, the Dean of
the School and the VPASL of the charges against the student and any disciplinary
action taken against him or her.
3. If the student who has been accused of plagiarism wishes to appeal his or her final
grade for the semester, that person shall follow the grade appeal process set forth in
Section 3.10 of this Handbook.
4. Multiple infractions may result in permanent expulsion from the University by the
VPASL. Any appeal of expulsion shall be made to the President of the University,
but the review is limited to ensuring that fundamental fairness guidelines have been
met. If fundamental fairness guidelines have not been met, the President can refer
the case back to the VPASL to ensure that the guidelines are met. (revision
approved by F.A. 4-11-08)
Prepare and present a summary report for Chapters 2 through 10. The report should be
in your own words. No quotations or external references are allowed.
This report will be graded per the Research Topic Rubric.
Components of the paper are:
•
•
•
•
Cover Page
Table of Contents
Executive Summary
Chapter Summaries, starting with Chapter 2.
The objective is to do personal research on each of the assigned Chapters, then in a
CONCISE format, summarize your findings. Provide a minimum of one (1) paragraph
per Chapter.
“Research” means that you will do additional reading, discussion, &/or data gathering
outside of the course lecture and the assigned textbook. Any other source is valid, but
you may not reword, quote, or reference the research sources. You must formulate
your own ideas and communicate them in your own words; thereby, showing you have
applied critical thinking regarding the Chapter topics.
It is suggested you use a Research Theme to help you stay focused, and to provide
continuity throughout your research. Here is a list of ideas, but this list is not allinclusive:
•
•
•
•
Current technologies available to support management functions,
Best Practices,
Future improvements/technologies, or
Other standards related to your specific field.
You may submit your assignment periodically to receive feedback. It’s best to receive
feedback after the first Chapter, which should include the Cover Page, TOC, and a
placeholder for the Executive Summary. This will allow for major adjustments early
on. The Executive Summary should be the last section to be documented and should
encompass your assessment of the entire body of work.
If submitting early for a final grade, please annotate this in the comments when you
upload the assignment. You have between 3/27 and 4/24 to submit the final
assignment for grade.
It is HIGHLY recommended that International students utilize CBUs’ Writing &
Communications Corner (Links to an external site.) for assistance on format and
grammar.
You must submit this assignment as a Word document. If you are unable to do this,
seek assistance from CBU’s IT Services (Links to an external site.). It is a mandatory
requirement to have a Word document presented for gradin

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nowadays, security is very important globally. This is what companies or every
organization wanted to have for their data. Securing data is essential especially those private
data, personal days, and financial data. There are various technology and software today that can
cover the security where it can help the user to protect the data. Hence, in this paper, there will
be a discussion of tools such as authentication, cryptography, and access control that can be
applied for security purposes. Also, a discussion of cryptography research exploration.
CHAPTER 2 SUMMARY
Chapter 2
This chapter covers the following: authentication, access control, and cryptography.
Authentication is the technique for demonstrating the character of the subject furthermore, it is
likewise a procedure in which the accreditations gave by the client are contrasted with those on
documents in a database of approved clients’ data on an operating system or inside an
Authentication server( this not monition in slides). And if the credentials match, at that point the
procedure is finished and the user is granted authorization for access to and The consents and
folders returned characterize both the condition. The access control framework is only it
confirms an individual’s identity by analyzing a unique personal attribute or the conduct and it is
the best and precise technique for checking the verifying the identification of the clients. Also, it
is the most costly confirmation system that is utilized for recognizing the clients. The
cryptography can be thought of as the way toward making sure about a channel of
correspondence between two people be it over the web, on paper or even verbally to shield its
trustworthiness within the sight of an outsider. In current occasions, it includes the procedure
4
referred to as encryption just as ciphertexts with a key to decipher the real significance of the
sentence (Pfleeger, Pfleeger, & Margulies, 2015).
CHOSEN TOPIC: Cryptography
Cryptography is the art of ensuring client information by changing it into an unreadable
structure, called the ciphertext(in the slides it looks something different ). This procedure is
called encryption(Are you sure?). This incomprehensible structure or the ciphertext must be
changed over into the intelligible organization or the plain content arrangement, by the client
who has the key necessary for the transformation, and this procedure is called decoding (Beal,
2018). For instance, Here, the security of the Mastercard concerning the security of the card just
as the terminal where it is to be examined.
In the past times, important information was stayed quiet inside safes and ensured with
locks. Computational security was acquired gratitude to various blends that develop
exponentially in the number of locks. However, shrewd foes figured out how to get around this
number of blends, by tuning in to bolt clicks. Exploiting this data, the security of the safes is just
straight in the number of locks.
Thus, in present-day data frameworks, important information is secured by the encryption
algorithm, parameterized by mystery keys. Current cryptography ensures that the computational
security of the information develops exponentially in the key size. However, smart enemies
likewise discovered approaches to get around such an assurance, by misusing physical data, for
example, the force utilization of an execution. Those practically resemble the
electroencephalogram of a chip.

Cryptographic frameworks can give at least one of the accompanying four administrations. It
is critical to recognize these, as certain calculations are increasingly fit to specific
assignments, however not to other people. While dissecting your necessities and dangers, you
have to choose which of these four capacities ought to be utilized to secure your information.
Using a cryptographic framework, we can set up the character of a remote client (or
framework). A normal model is the SSL endorsement of a web server giving confirmation to
the client that the individual in question is associated with the right server. The character isn’t
of the client, however of the cryptographic key of the client. Having a less secure key brings
down the trust we can put on the character.
