identify and discuss at least three ways in which attackers and/or criminals use encryption and cryptography to further their goals and objectives.
CMIT 425 Week 3200-400 words APAYour task: You have been asked to give a presentation to the Chief Technology Officer’s (CTO’s) staff for their monthly “brown bag”; luncheons. The subject of this session is: Use and Misuse of Encryption.Background: Cryptographic algorithms provide the underlying tools to most security protocols used to implement encryption in enterprises and critical infrastructures. The choice of which type of algorithm to implement depends on the goal that you are trying to accomplish, e.g. ensuring data privacy or ensuring integrity of software or data. Cryptographic algorithms fall into two main categories: symmetric key and asymmetric key cryptography.In the first part of your briefing to CTO Staff, please identify and discuss the strengths and weaknesses ofFor each type of cryptographic algorithm, you should provide an example of where this type of cryptography would be used within the software and services that the enterprise depends upon and the type of resource to be protected (e.g. passwords stored in hashed format).In the second part of your briefing, identify and discuss at least three ways in which attackers and/or criminals use encryption and cryptography to further their goals and objectives. These could include using encrypted chat to avoid wiretaps or surveillance or using encryption to deny legitimate users access to data or systems (e.g. ransomware). If countermeasures are available, describe and discuss them.Format: This week, the format for your deliverable (posting) will be.Talking Points. Talking points are presented in outline format and contain the content that you would put on slides in a slide deck. Your outline should include 5 to 7 major points (slide titles followed by 3 to 5 supporting points for each. Remember to put enough information into the talking points that your peer reviewers can understand what you intend to cover in each section of your briefing. Remember to introduce the topic at the beginning, present your analysis, and then close your briefing with an appropriate summary. Include a list of sources (3 or more) which attendees could refer to if they wish to fact check your work.

What impact does intentionally biasing cash flow estimates for investment projects have on achieving the goal of shareholder wealth maximization?
This discussion has 2 parts:Submission Instructions:ETHICAL ISSUESCash Flow Estimation BiasesThe estimation of the cash flows associated with an investment project is the most important step in the capital expenditure evaluation process. If the cash flow estimates associated with a project are inten- tionally or unintentionally biased, a firms resources are unlikely to be allocated to the set of investment projects that will maximize shareholder wealth.There are several reasons why managers might produce biased cash flow estimates when preparing capital expenditure project proposals. First, a manager might be tempted to overestimate the revenues or underestimate the costs associated with a project if the manager is attempting to expand the resource base over which he or she has control. By biasing the estimates of a projects cash flows upward, a manager is likely to receive a larger share of the investment resources of the firm. Because managerial compensa- tion is sometimes tied to the span of job responsibili- ties, managers may be tempted to expand this span of control at the expense of other areas in the firm.Second, some firms tie employee compensation to performance relative to stated objectivesa compen- sation scheme often called management by objective. If a manager is confident that the best estimate of the cash flows from a proposed project is sufficiently large to guarantee project acceptance, the manager may be tempted to reduce these cash flow estimates to a level below the most likely outcome level, con- fident that the project will continue to be viewed as an acceptable investment and that it will be funded. How- ever, once the project is under way, the project man- ager will feel less pressure to meet projected performance standards. The downward bias in the cash flow estimates provides a cushion that permits suboptimal management of the project while achiev- ing the objectives enunciated when the project was first proposed.What impact does intentionally biasing cash flow estimates for investment projects have on achieving the goal of shareholder wealth maximization?Post by classmate 1 Firms with higher leverage and capital intensity might not have a financial analyst or oversee the cash flow estimation process as most of the forecast could be executed by a simulation method based on past experience or market behavior through software. Firms use both types of estimates and measure of financial and operating risks might also need to benchmark themselves against the standard cash flow related ratio like liquidity ratios additionally to estimate risk free cash flow positions. The more the economic life of a project the more uncertain would the pay-back period become and the timing of the discounted cash flows gain importance. More than multiple methods of forecasting, it is important to accurately estimate the discounting rate and cash flow streams over the economic life of the project.The strategy of using WACC as a discount rate to discount the future expected future cash flows from the proposed capital budgeting projects is correct. The free cash flow to the firm must be discounted using WACC, while free cash flow to equity must be discounted using cost of equity.Post by classmate 2 ReferencesMcConnell, J. &. (1975).
