At first glance it seems as though an exhaustive key search is possible against an OTP system. Given is a short message, let’s say 5 ASCII characters represented by 40 bit, which was encrypted using a 40-bit OTP. Explain exactly why an exhaus- tive key search will not succeed even though sufficient computational resources are available. This is a paradox since we know that the OTP is unconditionally secure. That is, explain why a brute-force attack does not work. Note: You have to resolve the paradox! That means answers such as "The OTP is unconditionally secure and therefore a brute-force attack does not work" are not valid.

Suppose we have a byte addressable computer that has a 32-byte cache with 8 bytes per block. the memory address is 8 bits long. the system accesses memory addresses (in hex) in this exact order: 6e, b9, 17, e0, 4e, 4f, 50, 91, a8, ab, ad, 93, and 94. (a) assuming the cache is direct mapped, what memory addresses will be in cache block 2 after the last address has been accessed? (b) assuming the cache is direct mapped, what is the hit ratio for the entire memory reference sequence given, assuming the cache is initially empty? (c) assuming the cache is 2-way set associative with a lru replacement policy, what is the hit ratio?

Creating "smart interfaces" in all sectors of industry, government, and the public arena is one of the fastest growing hct areas. these interfaces model, interpret, and analyze such human characteristics as speech, gesture, and vision. the field of biometrics, in which humans authenticate themselves to machines, is an area of considerable interest to hct practitioners. fingerprint scans are one of the most frequently used biometric options, and this article, biometric student identification: practical solutions for accountability & security in schools, makes a case for the implementation of fingerprint scans in schools. critique the article, and answer the following questions: according to the author, what are the main benefits of adopting fingerprint scans in schools for student identification? according to the author, what are the main drawbacks of adopting fingerprint scans in schools for student identification? do you agree with the author's assessment of the pl
