No additional HW due. However, there will be a written assignment due Thursday.

In class: Presentation for entire period by Mr. Joe Morris (STA ’62) of MITRE Corporation. Please take notes, ask questions, and give him your full attention. I will return to campus by approximately 12:30 or 1:00 p.m.

HW due: Reread the material on rotational encoding (p. 338) and write p. 345 #4, 6.

Day off.

 

T 12/7/010

HW due: Read the following three Wikipedia articles and make reading notes in your 3-ring binder (as always).

 

·         Birthday problem (introduction and sections 1 and 2 only)

·         Birthday attack (read entire article, but you may skim over section 2, “The mathematics”)

·         Cryptographic hash function (read entire article, but put only the key points in your reading notes; some of the technical information is quite hard)

 

W 12/8/010

HW due: Below are 1024 bytes of data in hex. Write out a clear set of instructions that would enable another reasonably knowledgeable person (somebody in MODD, for example) to reproduce the entire contents of the file.

Th 12/9/010

HW due: Read pp. 409-417; write pp. 417-419 #2, 5, 7, 11abc.

Note: Question 7 is asking about the type of function, not the type of network. In mathematics, a full mesh network of the type shown in Figure 8.3 is called a complete graph or, if it is a subset of a larger network, a clique. That is not the question being asked.

 

F 12/10/010

HW due: Read pp. 419-425; write pp. 426-427 #1, 2, 7, 10, 14.

 

M 12/13/010

HW due: Read pp. 429-444; write pp. 445-446 #11-16 all, 22, 23.

 

T 12/14/010

HW due: Write answers for the midterm exam from 2007. (Skip problems I, II, and III at the end, but answer #1-27 as well as parts IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII of #28.)

If there are any problems that you cannot answer (and there should be a few), write specific questions that show you at least made an attempt. (“How do I do #11?” is not acceptable. An example of an acceptable question would be, “I can’t get #11 to work out using the book’s formula for dBV. Is there another formula I should be using?”)

You may use your textbook, notes, and online resources for this homework exercise.

In class: Review. We were originally planning to have a day off today, but we will move our day off to Thursday or Friday so that we can review today.

 

W 12/15/010

HW due: Finish all remaining answers for the midterm exam from 2007. We will discuss these in class as part of our review.

 

Th 12/16/010

Test (100 pts.) on all second-quarter material.

 

F 12/17/010

HW due: Attend Lessons and Carols service at the Cathedral if you possibly can.
