...IMPLEMENATION For providing security in peer to peer network we are using the AES algorithm and MD5 algorithm. AES for converting the plain text into cipher text which is been sent to the peers from the other peer. For password generator we are using the MD5 algorithm which uses the hash value for providing the total integrity while sharing the data among the peers. For secure communication using the secrete key of the cryptographic algorithm. Connection between the two peers will be established using the socket programming in both the peers will be connected using the mini server of a particular client from which data has to be shared. This connection is not a powerful connection and it also does not show the concept of handshaking. So establishing...

...The exploration of the connectedness between texts enhances an understanding of text’s textual integrity. This is evident within William Shakespeare’s ‘King Richard Third’ and Al Pacino’s docudrama ‘Looking For Richard’, where composers portray, through literary and film techniques, texts which reveal to their respective audiences valuable insights into their differing contexts. ‘Looking For Richard’ is based on ‘King Richard Third’ and adapts Shakespeare’s values to a modern context. Exploration of connections between the texts enhances the understanding of the values and contexts of each text. Connections enhances context, character and perspective as these values intensify connections. Through exploring context and character connections between texts, new perspectives of each text are possible, creating textual integrity. Richard Third - Context Richard Third was written to a superstitious Elizabethan audience. It was written as pro-Tudor propaganda, whereby the representation of Richard as a sly and deformed character perpetuates the Tudor Myth, within the context of the War of the Roses. Richard exudes traits of a Machiavellian villain, with imagery exaggerating Richard as a “Deformed, unfinished” man who was “Sent before his time” in order to maintain his discontent. Furthermore, Richards evil characterization and relentless pursuit of power is highlighted to his audience through his opening soliloquy “since I can not prove to be a lover….. I am determined to prove...

...belonging, composers assure that their audience will be able to relate to the text, due to their naturally social behaviours. Once a connection has been established between composer and audience, there is a sturdy footing from which the composer can better get their message across to their responders. The many different ‘faces’ of belonging can be used by composers through techniques such as inclusive language, “The Other” concept or pathos, in order to influence their audience into feeling the way they want them to – with the aim of successfully achieving their purpose. This connection creates a strong...

...By considering the connections between the texts, we gain an insight into the way values have changed over time. To what extent is this true of the two texts you have studied? (Minimum any 2 scenes, 4 quotes and roughly 1200 words) It is the relationship between context, text and responder that helps the audience to create meaning from a text. Through Pacino recontextualising Shakespeare’s Richard III, the audience is able to develop a better understanding and newfound appreciation of Shakespeare’s text. By comparing the structure and language of both texts the responder is able to go on their own journey of understanding and interpretation. Pacino builds a bridge that enables us to cross over and understand Shakespeare’s context. Pacino develops our understanding of ‘Richard III’ and helps us to recognize how values can be encoded within a text. This can be seen through the different values, beliefs and attitudes towards women reflected in Richard III texts in Act 1 scene 2. The wooing of Lady Anne demonstrates the climax of Richard’s role as a villain. The stichomythic language engages the audience which allows us to be seduced by Richard, for example when Lady Anne say, ‘‘o wonderful, when devils tell the truth’ and Richard replies ‘More wonderful, when angels are so angry’. This short declarative verbal exchange creates momentum in the scene resulting in the audience being in a state of anticipation. It reveals the power of language to persuade and Richard is able to capture...

...making judgements based on skin colour.” | Prejudice, courage and unity… TEXT COMPARISON Are we always champions of tolerance, courage and receptiveness to others? By the very definition of humanity, we must be. Humanity: benevolence, understanding and kindness towards other people. It is, arguably, our very human nature to feel compassion, courage, understanding, unity and empathy towards our fellow man. Unfortunately, prejudice and judgement also cling to the human condition like tumorous stains – traits which society still finds hard to surmount. Despite the efforts of governments, groups and individuals, humankind still finds it difficult to trust based on the soul of a person; we are more comfortable making judgements based on skin colour. Nelle Harper Lee through her 1960 novel, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ and Boaz Yakin through his 2000 film, ‘Remember the Titans,’ are text composers who tackle the ill-defined paradigms of ‘prejudice, courage and unity’ by painting a picture of the confronting face of racism. Prejudice, courage and unity are notions that are dealt with differently by both composers and, through their use of structural and linguistic features, each composer presents this concept in a manner which connects (or weakens a connection)...

...Psychology William James This evaluation and reflection paper focuses on William James’s explanation of phenomena and connection between mind, brain and body discussed in his text “The Principles of Psychology”. In “The Principle” spiritualists explain the way we remember by something in the brain that associate and knows past and events, yet it lacks to answer various oddities like the effects of illnesses and old age to memory. For associationist, association of an idea with the remembered thing results in easier recollection but then again lacks to explain effects of fever and old age. William James stressed that phenomena cannot influence our mind without influencing our body, senses and our brain. The text acknowledges that experiences of body make memory what it is and that mental states need certain body conditions to change. He stressed that mental and body life is affected by inner and outer relations but there is diversity between behavior of intelligence and mechanical performance or semi-automatic for animals saying that the sake of the action and consciousness level defines the difference of the act towards the end result. The text mainly focuses on proving the link between brain and mental condition by giving illustrations of different authors as to prove his text. In his text William James focuses mainly on the connection between our mental state and experiences of our body saying that injuries of brain directly affects our mental state. He uses neuroscience...

...phones, text messages, and social networking sites are all tools our society now uses to stay in contact. The sheer volume of content that is now transmitted has become staggering. Recently, the evening news reported a teenager who had sent over 10,000 text messages in one month. Groups of adolescents that once gathered talking noisily, now sit quietly playing games on their cell phones or texting. Conversations are giving way to short messages that can reach someone anytime, day or night. The use of text messages allows for increased communication, but at a high price. In her article “Our Gadgets, Ourselves” Ruth Marcus describes her experience with this new world, “I am a rat, constantly pressing levers to get tiny pellets of social or intellectual nourishment." Martin is explaining her compulsion to constantly check for new messages even though they are mostly unimportant. The increasing reliance on text messages as a form of communication is transforming the idea of what it means to be present and connected in social interactions, and doing so in a negative way. The world of texting has generated an idea of ever present connectedness. It has become both a chain and a lifeline, leading to simultaneous feelings of affirmation and inescapability. Text messaging, the ability to send short written messages via cellular phone, has become very popular in the last five years. Many people have a phone plan that includes unlimited text messages, allowing them to substitute texts for actual...

...separate control and data connections between the client and the server. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. For secure transmission that hides (encrypts) the username and password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS ("FTPS"). SSH File Transfer Protocol ("SFTP") is sometimes also used instead. The first FTP client applications were command-line applications developed before operating systems had graphical user interfaces, and are still shipped with most Windows, Unix, and Linux operating systems. Dozens of FTP clients and automation utilities have since been developed for desktops, servers, mobile devices, and hardware, and FTP has been incorporated into hundreds of productivity applications, such as Web page editors. The original specification for the File Transfer Protocol was written by Abhay Bhushan and published as RFC 114 on 16 April 1971 and later replaced by RFC 765 (June 1980) and RFC 959 (October 1985), the current specification. Several proposed standards amend RFC 959, for example RFC 2228 (June 1997) proposes security extensions and RFC 2428 (September 1998) adds support for IPv6 and defines a new type of passive mode. The protocol was first specified June 1980 and updated in RFC 959, which is summarized here. The server responds over the control connection with three-digit status...

...to your prescribed text and related text/s Due to the complex and abstract nature of the concept of belonging, a true sense of belonging can be found in different circumstances for different people. As each individual has their own desires, needs and values, they find their place in the world and a genuine sense of belonging in various avenues. Many individuals find the strongest sense of belonging through relationships, due to the fact that by nature these connections fulfill the human need for social interaction and enrich the lives of the persons involved. Conversely, relationships which do not fit the conventional model of this kind of connection and thus result in negative outcomes for individuals can ultimately lead to a true sense of not belonging and its related notions of isolation and disaffection. Instead, these individuals may attain the same sense that they truly belong outside relationships, though their connections to other ideas such as place and culture, or within themselves. Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Khyenstse Norbu’s Travellers and Magicians are two texts in which an exploration of belonging and its different meanings for individuals ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of the complexity of the concept of belonging and thus that individuals can find a true sense of belonging in a great range of places, not limited to relationships. Relationships by nature embody ideas of a connection on a psychological level between two people which can...

...There are numerous aspects of this novel that draw parallels to our current society, with some of the key ideas and themes I have preciously discussed making connections to the current concerns and issues within our society. The segregation enforced by the faction system within the novels’ society focuses on our own segregations within our society, whether that is in terms of race, gender, sexuality or beliefs. It has been a prevalent issue in our society, with discriminations almost being perceived as an aspect of human nature as it is engrained into certain members of society’s minds. This causes us to often limit people to what we’ve been taught they can be, or in other words to stereotype, a clear of example of this can be seen in terms of gender roles. Without our society there is a common clear distinctive between males and females, for example in terms of profession only males can be engineers and only females can be nurses. It is these limitations our society places on gender that relate to the limitations the faction system places on individuals in terms of their virtue. Through segregation in terms of gender we are limiting the overall potential of our society, and ourselves, while the same can be said for the...
