Securing IoT Devices: What are the Challenges? Security practitioners suggest that key IoT security steps include: 1) Make people aware that there is a threat to security; 2) Design a technical solution to reduce security vulnerabilities; 3) Align the legal and regulatory frameworks; and 4) Develop a workforce with the skills to handle IoT security. Final Assignment – Project Plan (Deliverables): Address each of the FOUR IoT security steps listed above in terms of IoT devices. Explain in detail, in a step-by-step guide, how to make people more aware of the problems associated with the use of IoT devices.  Needed 2 pages For more information on IoT  read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOT

Check the slides “OS Security II,” pg. 4-8. You are to implement a Dictionary Attack with and without Password Salt program in Python. If you are not familiar with measuring execution time in Python, see the following website:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1557571/how-do-i-get-time-of-a-python-programs-executionSee the following steps.1. Accept a user password of length N as keyboard input to your program. You can determine your own length N.2. Compute the hash of the password from step 1.Your hash function H() is simply the checksum. (See Assignment 2)3. Now you become an attacker and try to find the password of length N.Try every combination of length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash of the password from step 2.Measure execution time.4. Now let’s reinforce our password using the password salt. Accept an arbitrary non-negative integer number as keyboard input to your program.5. Compute the hash of the concatenated password salt and password from step 4 and step 1. To compute the password salt portion of the checksum, you can treat the entire password salt as EITHER a single integer OR multiple one-byte integers.6. Now you become an attacker and try to find the concatenated password salt and password. Try every combination of an arbitrary non-negative integer number and length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash from step 5. Measure execution time.NOTE: your program should have separate functions for the checksum and the two dictionary attacks with and without the password salt by the attacker.

 Requirements of the Assignment: Visit the websites of SAP at http://www.sap.com, and Oracle at http://www.oracle.com, and Microsoft Dynamics at https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/, then, identify the following: 1. The strengths, weaknesses, and tradeoffs tend to neutralize the appeal of each of these leading ERP systems;  2. Three major trends we would expect to see with SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics between now and the near future. Write a short report on the findings of the above items 1 and 2 with appropriate comparison, contrast, analysis, and discussion. The report should be in APA (American Psychology Association) style but without a cover pager.  The report should be word-processed in Times New Roman 12 pt font and double spaced, with no less than FIVE double-spaced and numbered pages (with 1” margins on all sides), excluding figures, tables, illustrations, and references. Fewer or more pages will result in a points deduction. The report should include the following parts (in order to save paper, no cover page! Otherwise, some points will be taken off): ? Your name and course information (in order to save paper, no cover page! Otherwise, some points will be taken off). ? Title of the report ? Abstract of the report (single-spaced and in between the title and the Introduction) ? Introduction ? Main findings and major trends with comparison, contrast, analysis, and discussion ? Conclusion ? References (correct citations in APA format and not counted for the length requirement).  For more information on SAP Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_relationship_management

How to Manage your Outlook Mailbox Effectively  There are many benefits of using email over paper, phone, and face-to-face communications such as sending messages whenever you wish. You do not have to wait for the people you need to talk with to be in their offices. Other users can send email messages to you, even if you do not have your email program open. Your messages can be as long as you wish, so you are not limited to the short time typically allowed on some voice mail systems. You can also attach a file (such as a spreadsheet or word processing document) to a message. Describe some of the issues that can be caused by not properly managing the size of one’s Outlook® mailbox. What are some ways to organize messages and clean up or reduce the size of one’s Outlook® mailbox?TAYLOR’S POST:  One of the most effective ways to organize your messages would be by creating certain folders for your important mail. Creating folders and using quickstep tools allow us to reduce our mailbox size. Also responding to mail that takes us seconds to reply helps with this as well. If we do not correctly manage our mailbox important mail could be overlooked and ignored.  INSTRUCTIONS:  Respond to the below topic in a minimum of 50 words.  (5 points)Reply to at least 1 of your classmates.

Digital Literacy It’s hard to imagine a job that doesn’t require a working knowledge of a personal computer. Research the term digital literacy. Use several different websites to get an idea of what this term means.  What does it mean to be digitally literate, especially in a career that you plan to pursue, and why is it important?  SHELBY’S POST:  Digital literacy becomes very important when you are trying to start your career. Digital literacy means having the knowledge to work and learn how to communicate through the internet. In most careers, you use web browsers, email, PowerPoints, and have to create and edit things and that is digital literacy.

  Need references for each question separately. 1) Explain (in 3-4 paragraphs) how you feel about the need for Internet privacy. If you value your own privacy, explain why you do. If you feel you have nothing to hide, explain why you believe your privacy is protected.2) A digital forensics professional must know basic IT skills, understand computer architecture and networking, and have analytical and investigative skills, as well as strong attention to detail. Why do think all of these skills are necessary? Please explain.3) Law enforcement professionals and investigators use digital forensic methods to solve crimes every day. Locate one current news article that explains how investigators may have used these techniques to solve a crime. Explain the crime that was solved and the methods used to determine how the crime was committed. Some examples of crimes solved may include locating missing children, finding criminals who have fled the scene of a crime, or unsolved crimes from the past that have been solved due to the use of new techniques (such as DNA testing).Your written assignment should be 3-4 paragraphs in your own words and should include a reference citation for your source of information.4) Do you believe Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning is the future of cybersecurity? Explain why or why not. For more information on IT Skills read this:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=IT+Skills&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1
