INFA 640 WEEK 9 DISCUSSION 1Current or Recent Malware Attacks Research and report on a current or recent malware (e.g., Trojan, virus, or worm) attack. Describe its method and effects. Be sure to indicate the source of your information.

INFA 640 WEEK 8 DISCUSSION 2Authentication vs. Non-rupudiationShort Research Paper #1 was largely about the lack of a non-repudiation capability in 3DES encryption.Non-repudiation and authentication are terms sometimes used interchangeably. Are they different? If so, how do they differ.Please be sure to cite anything that you find in the literature.

INFA 640 WEEK 8 DISCUSSION 1Password Strategies For this conference, please do one or more of the following: 1. Find (and provide a citation), or invent, a password policy (e.g., password format, duration, etc.) and describe it as a response to this topic. Explain the rationale behind your policy. 2. Find (and provide a citation), or invent, a password attack approach, and describe the types of

INFA 640 WEEK 7 DISCUSSION 2Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Pick a fellow classmate and use the Diffie-Hellman algorithm to agree on a secret key. Refer to yourselves as Alice and Bob. For ease of computation, Alice should choose small values for p and g, and publish them as a response to this topic. Alice and Bob should then each pick a secret number and calculate their individual T values, and pub

INFA 640 WEEK 7 DISCUSSION 1Attacks on RSA As described in the lecture notes and supporting OERs, the RSA public-key algorithm depends on the difficulty that an attacker would have in factoring large numbers. Do some research into how numbers are factored, and what the computing time might be. Be sure to show the reference(s) that you have used.

INFA 640 WEEK 5 DISCUSSION 2Rijndael Algorithm The Rijndael algorithm was chosen for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Using either the attached tutorial, or your own sources of information, pick one (or more) steps of the algorithm and explain it in some detail to your classmates. [Note: if you are uneasy about running the tutorial executable on your machine, you can use another source (which yo

INFA 640 WEEK 5 DISCUSSION 1Cracking DES, 3DES, or AES Research an attempt to crack either DES, 3DES, or AES. What machine(s) were used, and how long did it take? Be sure to cite your source of information.
