Digital Information
What is white in binary?
1
The unique number assigned to reach the device on the internet
IP Address
Set of steps to solve a problem or complete a task
Algorithm
A computer representation of an object in the real world. For example, you can have a model of an airplane or a highway.
Model
Software intended to damage computing systems
Malware
Error from attempting to represent a number that is too large
overflow error
the inclusion of extra components so that a system can continue to work even if individual components fail
Redundancy
An algorithm that divides a set of data into two parts. Feedback about whether the value in question is higher or lower than the midpoint of the list determines which half to discard and which half to continue searching. These steps are repeated until the correct value is found.
Binary search
An algorithm that uses models to see what will happen over time under certain conditions. For example, if you model an airplane, you can simulate wind hitting it.
Simulation
Technique that attempts to trick users into providing personal information.
Phishing
A process for creating a digital representation of analog data by measuring the analog data at regular intervals called samples.
Sampling
What does TCP stand for?
Transmission Control Protocol
Can only represent the values true or false
Boolean values
How can models and simulations save companies time and money when developing new products
Can test designs quicker. Optimize manufacturing processes which cuts down costs. Speeds up development process reducing time it takes to market a product.
use of several authentication techniques in order to verify users idenity
Multi-factor identification
what does RGB stand for?
red, green, blue
small chunks of one whole data sent individually throughout the web on their own path
Routers
Putting commands in correct order so computers can read the commands.
Sequencing
What are some everyday scenarios you encounter that could be analyzed using simulations?
Traffic flow, weather patterns, car crash/driving, interior design, sports performance, disease spread, energy consumption and more
An access point installed on a network without the network owner's permission that allows attackers to intercept the data flowing through
Rouge access point
The process of simplifying complicated data into manageable chunks
Data Abstraction
a security measure that requires users to provide multiple forms of identification before accessing a system
Multi-factor Authentication
Some problems can’t be solved in a reasonable amount of time. In this case, computers find an approximate solution
Heuristic
Why are simulations beneficial?
Allows us to create real world aspects and explore phenomenons without the constraints and risks of the real world
A technique for encryption that shifts the alphabet by some number of characters.
Caesar Cipher
