For this assignment, you will define ethics within the context of digital forensics. You will then apply what you learned to your life, developing an ethical code-of-conduct document.

Scenario:

Your manager has asked you to create a code-of-conduct document for your organization to give to employees during their new-hire orientation. In the code-of-conduct document, you are asked to focus on the sharing of personal or professional data and the ethics involved in sharing data.

Tasks:

• Create a code-of-conduct document with the following:
  • Define ethics. Explain what it is and how it applies to digital forensics, while also describing ethical and unethical handling of forensic information.
• Evaluate current or past news events related to each of the four branches of digital forensics: Computer forensics, mobile device forensics, network forensics, and database forensics.
  • Consider topics such as identity theft, the Patriot Act, or Wikileaks. Share your thoughts on the major themes and ethical concerns and give some insight into how it impacts you personally and professionally.
• Analyze current ethical considerations and issues.
  • Review the following articles:
    • When IT Is Asked to Spy
    • Lost Data Tied to CPP Claims: Ottawa Says USB Stick Has Info on Applicants for Disability Benefits
  • Select two additional articles from this list that illustrate ethical considerations and issues. Ideally, you should not have previously used these two articles for another assignment in this class.
• Create a code-of-conduct document you can use in professional situations as it relates to accessing or sharing data. This can be a checklist or bulleted list of "Do and Do Not Tasks." Consider the examples and resources below when creating your code-of-conduct document:
  • The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners. (n.d.). Code of ethics and professional responsibility. Retrieved from http://www.isfce.com/ethics2.htm
  • Barbara, J. (2008). Ethical practices in digital forensics: Part 2. Retrieved from http://www.forensicmag.com/article/ethical-practices-digital-forensics-part-2
  • The American Society of Digital Forensics and eDiscovery. (n.d.). Domain 3 – Ethics and code of conduct. Retrieved from https://sites.google.com/site/asdfedorg/domain-3

Note: Your final product should be a Microsoft Word document, approximately seven to nine pages in length, incorporating five to seven scholarly sources. Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in the accurate representation and attribution of sources (APA); and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

For this project, you will use all four of the Microsoft Office applications to create a unified project on a single topic.

 

Project Topic

You may select any topic that is of interest to you. The course instructor must approve your topic before you begin working on it–be sure to obtain his/her permission sooner rather than later. Remember that your project will cover ONE topic. You will use ALL of the Office applications to create content related to your chosen topic. 

 Some examples of past project topics include:

• develop a business
• highlight attending HCC
• your favorite sports team
• your favorite sport
• dream car
• moving out on your own
• researching your planned career
• planning a vacation
• planning a wedding
• highlight your native country or culture
• your passion in life, etc.

C++ Programming.

Create an inheritance hierarchy that a bank might use to represent customers’ bank accounts. All customers at this bank can deposit (i.e., credit) money into their accounts and withdraw (i.e., debit) money from their accounts. More specific types of accounts also exist. Savings accounts, for instance, earn interest on the money they hold. Checking accounts, on the other hand, charge a fee per transaction (i.e., credit or debit).

A.  Create a base class Account. Base class Account should include

·  One data member of type double to represent the account balance.

·  A constructor that receives an initial balance and uses it to initialize the data member. The constructor should validate the initial balance to ensure that it is greater than or equal to 0.0. If not, the balance should be set to 0.0 and the constructor should display an error message, indicating that the initial balance was invalid.

·  Member function Credit should add an amount to the current balance.

·  Member function Debit should withdraw money from the Account and ensure that the debit amount does not exceed the Account’s balance. If it does, the balance should be left unchanged and the function should print the message "Debit amount exceeded account balance."

·  Member function getBalance should return the current balance.

A.  Derived class SavingsAccount should inherit the functionality of an Account, but also include

·  One data member of type double indicating the interest rate (percentage) assigned to the Account.

·  A constructor that receives the initial balance, as well as an initial value for the interest rate.

·  Member function calculateInterest that returns a double indicating the amount of interest earned by an account. Member function calculateInterest should determine this amount by multiplying the interest rate by the account balance.

A.  Derived class CheckingAccount should inherit from base class Account and  also include

·  One data member of type double that represents the fee charged per transaction.

·  A constructor that receives the initial balance, as well as a parameter indicating a fee amount.

·  Class CheckingAccount should redefine member functions credit and debit so that they subtract the fee from the account balance whenever either transaction is performed successfully. CheckingAccount’s versions of these functions should invoke the base-class Account version to perform the updates to an account balance. CheckingAccount’s debit function should charge a fee only if money is actually withdrawn (i.e., the debit amount does not exceed the account balance).

[Hint: Define Account’s debit function so that it returns a bool indicating whether money was withdrawn. Then use the return value to determine whether a fee should be charged.]

After defining the classes in this hierarchy, write a program that creates objects of each class and tests their member functions. Add interest to the SavingsAccount object by first invoking its calculateInterest function, then passing the returned interest amount to the object’s credit function.

Term Paper: Website Migration Project
Due Week 10 and worth 200 points Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired you to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. In addition, they want the site redesigned to allow customers to order products online.

As part of your job, you must complete a 10-to-15 page paper that follows this project through the system development life cycle (SDLC). This assignment will require you to do the following:

• Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available.
  • The Web architecture should describe and justify operating system choices (i.e., Linux, Apache, MYSQL, PHP, Windows, IIS, SQL, etc.).
• Evaluate alternatives to the company self-hosting the site.
• Build a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project or equivalent software, showing all tasks associated with implementing the Website.
• The chart should include a minimum of five (5) tasks, each with three (3) sub-tasks.
• Explain and justify the system architecture you have selected.
• Illustrate the system architecture using Visio or equivalent software.
• Create a use case that documents the event of a customer ordering a bag of chips from the new Website.
• The use case should include a graphical representation using Visio or equivalent software and a text description of the events.
• Discuss the support operations that the internally hosted Website will require after implementation.
• Explain how you will evaluate the performance of the new site and the success of your project.

The specific Course Learning Outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Design high-level logical system characteristics (user interface design, design of data, and information requirements).
• Use contemporary CASE tools in process and data modeling.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in systems analysis and development.
• Write clearly and concisely about Systems Analysis and Development topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric. Click here to view the grading rubric..
