4.1. Since May 26, 2002, the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) describes the official standard of the US government. 1. The evolutionary history of AES differs from that of DES. Briefly describe the differences of the AES history in comparison to DES. 2. Outline the fundamental events of the developing process. 3. What is the name of the algorithm that is known as AES? 4. Who developed this algorithm? 5. Which block sizes and key lengths are supported by this algorithm?

Respecting individual differencespre-test active2time remaining48: 47nina is exploring her gender identity and sexual orientationwhich best describes how the role of the media might influence nina during this time in her life? the media would her decide because television shows are always unbiased about gender issues and do notstereotypethe media could make things difficult for her because television sometimes portrays rigid ideas about gender roles.all forms of media will her decide because the media always portrays rigid ideas about gender roles.all forms of media will make things easy for her because the media always portrays open and fair ideas about gender roles.

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a,b,c,d sharing the medium. (a) stations a,b,c,d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful.when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?
