Assignment 1: Encryption and Hashing Algorithms: Tools and Commands

Due Week 3 and worth 100 points

The CIA and FBI have been working as a joint task force to unearth the meaning behind a vast amount of intercepted digital communiqué between two known operatives believed to be spies. They have recruited your company to assist with the decryption of these messages.

Part 1:

Write a paper in which you answer the following:

Before you start on this mission, both national organizations want to verify your ability to identify hash and encryptions standards. Answer the following questions, providing specific details for each topic:

1. Explain how to identify the type of hash, identifying a tool that can integrate with Linux and Windows so desktop users are able to verify hash values. Specify any online tools.
2. Describe the difference between RSA and ECDSA encryption algorithms and name a well-known product that uses each type of encryption. Be sure to cite your references.
3. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Part 2:

Here is a useful online resource to help with your tasked assignment from the FBI. Using the following link, decrypt the random messages and put them together into a useful missive. Identify the hash type and rearrange the messages in logical order to assemble the message.

Contact your supervisor (professor) to receive the communiqué, if it is not shared with you first .

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Describe cryptology and its 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.

  Behaviorism and Social Learning Theories

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the following required sources:

• “Behaviorism and Essential Concepts for Pediatric Behavioral Sleep Medicine”
• “When a Clear Strong Voice Was Needed: A Retrospective Review of Watson’s (1924/1930) Behaviorism”
• “A Preliminary Application of Social Cognitive Theory to Nonsuicidal Self-Injury”
• “Teaching Stimulus Control Via Class-Wide Multiple Schedules of Reinforcement in Public Elementary School Classrooms”
• “Supporting Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Implementing Applied Behavior Analysis Strategies Within the Classroom Setting”

In your initial post, include the following:

• Briefly summarize the foundational approaches of behaviorism and social learning theories and the early theorists associated with them.
• Describe how those two theories might be utilized in practice in the career path that interests you.
• Evaluate any issues and cultural considerations associated with your assigned theorist.
• Analyze and describe how the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct might affect the implementation of your theorist’s personality assessments.
• Assess the types of personality measurements and research designs associated with your assigned theorist, and describe how they have evolved.

Your initial post should be a minimum of 500 words.
