Topic: We all had the unfortunate experience of seeing how computers can, at times, make life’s journey abit more difficult. This is especially true in knowledge centric workplaces. Describe an example of a very poorly implemented database that you’ve encountered (or read about) that illustrates the potential for really messing things up. Include, in your description, an analysis of what might have caused the problems and potential solutions to them. Be sure to provide supporting evidence, with citations from the literature. As with the first discussion topic, it is not enough for you to simply create a own posting. You must read the postings of the other members of the class and comment on each of them. Please see Discussion Forum of the class syllabus for additional details on content.  

For this assignment you will craft a 4–6 page paper (more than 1500 words, not including references) explaining this topic, with 4 or more new references (that you find)

The topic is to define evolving role of Encryption in today’s society:

Your next assignment is to investigate the topic of encryption.

1. So the first 10% will just be the history of encryption and the earlier process of ciphering.

2. Then for 40% describe the current state of encryption:

a. How do you make use of it, how available is it?

b. How impervious/secure is it?

c. What is the benefit and also the threat of encryption?

d. Define the “Clipper Chip”.

e. What safeguards are proposed if the government wants to read your encrypted materials.

3. The last 50% of the paper is entirely your opinion regarding the use of encryption for privacy versus allowing (with safeguards) government agencies and government agents the ability to read your messages. Another factor is “If you do not comply with the government mandate then you have broken the law” (a new part of the Patriot Act – proposed).

Research and write a 13-pages paper on a topic of your choice related to Information Security. The 13 pages count does not include the title page, abstract, or reference pages. APA FORMAT AND NO PLAGIARISM.

My topic is:

 Using the resource link below and others research how a risk assessment methodology process can be used to assess risk at a maximum security facility. Write a minimum of 1 page (do not count the abstract and reference page).
