Assignment 1: Encryption Lecture

Due Week 3 and worth 100 points

This assignment consists of two (2) parts: a written paper and a

PowerPoint presentation. You must submit both parts as separate files
for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to
the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create
and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of
this assignment

Imagine youve been sought out as a guest lecturer at a local university for
an ethical hacking course. You have been asked to prepare a paper for the
students, as well as a PowerPoint presentation, regarding the use of
cryptography in corporations to minimize data theft.

Part 1: Written Paper

1. Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Explain, in your own words, the purpose of cryptography and take a
position on whether or not you believe encryption is sufficiently
utilized in organizations today. Provide a rationale with your
response.
2. Describe the differences between symmetric and asymmetric
encryption.
3. Select the encryption method you believe is typically more reliable of
the two and explain why. Determine if there are any situations where
the typically less reliable method could be the better option.
4. Select one (1) of the common cryptographic systems and justify why
you believe it to be the best encryption technology to date.
5. Describe the common uses of the aforementioned selected
cryptographic system and provide a real-world example of how it is
used in securing networks, files, and / or communications in the
present day.
 6. Create a network diagram of a network and / or in a data flow where
your real-world example would exist using a diagramming application
such as Visio or Dia.
7. Analyze current cryptographic attacks that are used in the present
day and determine how they can be a detriment to the security where
encryption is implemented.
8. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this
assignment.Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as
quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12),
with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must
follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for
any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
students name, the professors name, the course title, and the date.
The cover page and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length.
Include diagrams created in Visio or one of their equivalents such as
Dia. The completed diagrams must be imported into the Word
document before the paper is submitted.

Part 2: PowerPoint Presentation

Use Microsoft PowerPoint or an open source alternative, such as

OpenOffice, to:

2. Create a five to ten (5-10) slide PowerPoint presentation in which

you:
1. Summarize the concepts from your written paper in Part 1 of
this assignment for the lecture you would give to the class
regarding the use of cryptography in corporations to minimize
data theft.
2. Use a professional technically written style to graphically
convey the information.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Describe cryptology and impact on cybercrime response.

Use technology and information resources to research issues in
cybercrime techniques and response.
Write clearly and concisely about topics related to cybercrime
techniques and response using proper writing mechanics and
technical style conventions.
