Assignment 11

This week you have two word documents on two different topics to submit:

1. In this module, you learned that random numbers (or, at least, pseudorandom numbers) are essential in cryptography, but it is extremely difficult even for powerful hardware and software to generate them. Go online and conduct research on random number generators. What are the different uses of these tools besides cryptography? How do they work? Explain your answer using your own words in 3 to 4 paragraphs for about 350 words and provide hyperlinks to the references and note plagiarism is not acceptable.
2. 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 4 paragraphs in your own words for about 350 words, and should include hyperlink to the reference and note plagiarism is not acceptable.
