Asymmetric Encryption Encryption that uses two keys: if you encrypt with one you may decrypt with the other MD5 Message Digest 5. A hashing funciton used to provide integrity. MD5 uses 128 bits. A hash is simply a number created by applying the algorithm to a file or message at different times. The hashes are compared to each other to verify that integrity has been maintained. IPSec 1) Set of protocols developed to support the secure exchange of packets IPv4 and IPv6 2) Operates at

) ( ) Assume good weather conditions, and a 65% passenger load factor. What are the per plane delay times (assuming the arrival rate to be 50, 55 and 59 planes per hour)? What is the total cost (operational and passenger costs) associated with arrival rates of 50 planes per hour, for all three types of planes mentioned? What are your results if the arrival rate is i) 55 planes per hour? ii) 59 planes per hour? b) ( ) Now resolve the above question using the FAA’s definition of delay? Do you think

password and the credentials are stored in the user's cache to gain access to the intended service. Once the time is up, the user will have to log in once again and request a new ticket. The ticket is destroyed when a user logs out. Compared to a firewall, which offers protection from outside attacks but limits the actions a user can perform, Kerberos allows a user to continue to safely operate over an unsecured connection by encrypting the data transfer without limiting a user's abilities. Because
