A deadlock is the very unpleasant situation that may occur in very dynamic world of running processes, a situation that must be avoided at all costs. One famous algorithm for deadlock avoidance is the Banker’s algorithm for deadlock avoidance. The version of this algorithm presented in this module’s commentary gives just one solution (the Greedy approach).
Consider the Greedy approach to the Banker’s algorithm from the module readings. Give an example of application of this algorithm for 7 processes (named P1, … , P7) and 5 resource types (named R1, … , R5).
Start by listing the matrices involved in this algorithm, that constitute its input data; also, do not forget to mention the overall resources of each type available in this fictional system.
Proceed by describing the algorithm, step by step; for each step, mention the test performed, which process was chosen, what is the old and new status of the Work array, etc.
In the end, list the solution, that is the safe sequence of processes resulting from this algorithm.
Also, to check if your computations are correct, verify that in the end all resources of the system are freed.

Smart Airport Passenger Processing System (SAPPS) will replace the human ID cont

Smart Airport Passenger Processing System (SAPPS) will replace the human ID control, Airport check-in and boarding-pass process.
The new airport will have faster process timing and better security with SAPPS. The passenger will not interact with any officer at the airport with SAPPS. There will be no direct human interaction at the airport. The passenger will simply walk through a passage surrounded with hidden cameras and other remote readers.
Once SAPPS installed, in the new airport, the passenger will walk through a passage surrounded with cameras, microphones and other remote readers to do “ID control, Airport check-in and boarding-pass process” all at the same time. ID control, Airport check-in and boarding-pass process will be done while the passenger is walking from terminal entrance to his/her seat in the aircraft. The passenger will not interact with any officer at the airport.
In the new airport, passenger will get RFID bracelet at automated kiosk, this is an ATM type machine has face recognition cameras, finger-print reader and connection to DMV and IRS to authenticate the passenger and update the Airport database. This is the only step where passenger will stop and wait for the machine to put the RFID bracelet on his/her wrist.  Then, passenger with RFID bracelet never stops until seating in the aircraft. One Centralized database will record and authenticate each passenger in the airport terminal.
You as the IT Manager for SAPPS were expected to address the following questions
Question 1 SAPPS will need new software for ID and passport control, Airport check-in and boarding-pass processes. How can you fulfill the software needs of SAPPS project?  Provide the list of software package and answer the following questions; What would be your software acquisition method? And, what type of Software Development Options you would recommend for each software package? And, explain your reasoning for the solution you selected? Why?

IT 643 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview You work for Strategic Secur

IT 643 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You work for Strategic Security Consulting Group (SSCG). Recently, one of your clients located in Los Angeles, North Star Software Developers (NSSD), called with a big problem. NSSD’s strategic security goals include protecting the software development process and code as well as sensitive client information from internal and external breaches. Some of its network servers were compromised, resulting in the possible loss of personal information and credit card numbers of purchasers of the company’s software products. It is not presently known whether this attack came from inside or outside of the company. NSSD is currently dealing with this problem as best as it can, but it needs your company to help prevent this from happening again in the future.
You have been assigned to create a training manual for NSSD’s IT personnel in which you test, describe, and recommend a variety of network security tools that, when used properly, will mitigate both the risk of future breaches and the effects of a breach when it takes place.
Given the above scenario, you will also create an executive overview that describes the appropriate areas of concern from your research in this course. This should be written in language that can be understood by a nontechnical audience of company management and stakeholders.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Interpret results of network and vulnerability scans for identifying security vulnerabilities
Implement appropriate methods that protect against and address network threats and vulnerabilities using appropriate risk mitigation techniques
Categorize the severity of security incidents using industry best practices for determining the appropriate immediate response
Recommend timely countermeasures that minimize the consequences of current security incidents
Communicate response and mitigation strategies that align with an organization’s strategic goals

Business Case: Airport IT Network Expansion
An airport authority is seeking your expertise to establish a new IT network infrastructure for its operations. Here are the specifics of the given case.
The airport has a central terminal building with various departments and facilities that need to be interconnected through a robust network.
Within the terminal building, there are:
– Four administrative sections, each housing 30 desktop computers.
– Each section requires 10 portable/laptop computers with wireless connectivity (WiFi).
– A network printer is necessary for shared use in each administrative section.
– It’s imperative that all computers within each administrative section have access to the network.
Additionally, there is a Data Room within the terminal building containing:
– Databases for passenger and flight information.
– Databases for employee records.
– A Printer Server to manage printing for LANs.
– Web Server for internal applications.
– Email Server for communication within the organization.
Your role involves designing and illustrating network diagrams to visualize the proposed solutions.
Question 1: (Network Diagram 1) Develop and draw a network diagram depicting the LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) for one administrative section within the terminal building. Focus on detailing the network setup for this specific section.
Question 2: (Network Diagram 2) Develop and draw a network diagram for  INTRANET. This network will connect all computers within the central terminal building, enabling them to communicate with each other and access the resources within the Data Room as well.  
Question 3: (Network Diagram 3) The airport authority operates branches in three different cities: DC, NYC, and MIAMI. Design an EXTRANET diagram to establish private communication between all sites. The Extranet should provide access to shared resources while maintaining security protocols.
Question 4:(Network Diagram 4)  Update your EXTRANET diagram to include provisions for internet connectivity. This addition will allow all branches and the central terminal to have access to the internet while safeguarding the network’s integrity.
