Using MIS, 12e David Kroenke, Randall Boyle, Instructor Manual All Chapters-1. Here is a line from Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “Tomorrow and tomorrow and
tomorrow, creeps in its petty pace.” Explain how to use these lines to create a
password. How could you add numbers and special characters to the password in a
way that you will be able to remember?
There are several correct ways to create a password from this line. One way might be
to take the first letters from each word. The password would then be “tatatciipp.” You
could then capitalize a couple of the letters and add in a special character or numbers.
The resulting password could be “T&2morrow&tciiPP.” This would be a very secure
password.
2. List two different phrases that you can use to create a strong password. Show the
password created by each.
There will be many correct answers to this question. Using a passphrase to create a
password is done by using the first letters in the phrase, then changing some of the
letters by substituting in special characters, numbers, or changes of case. For
example, the phrase, “I never count my chickens before the eggs have hatched!”
could create the password “iNcmCHKNSb4t3ggsHH!” This would be a great
password.
3. One of the problems of life in the cyberworld is that we all are required to have
multiple passwords—one for work or school, one for bank accounts, another for eBay
or other auction sites, and so forth. Of course, it is better to use different passwords
for each. But in that case, you have to remember three or four different passwords.
Think of different phrases you can use to create a memorable, strong password for
each of these different accounts. Relate the phrase to the purpose of the account.
Show the passwords for each.
There will be many correct answers to this question. For example, a passphrase for a
university account may look something like, “I will graduate from state university
before 2020 or bust!” This could yield a password that would look like
“IwgfSUb42020ORB!”
4. Explain proper behavior when you are using your computer and you need to enter,
for some valid reason, another person’s password.

In this case, say to the other person, “We need your password,” and then get out of
your chair, offer your keyboard to the other person, and look away while she enters
the password. Among professionals working in organizations that take security
seriously, this little “do-si-do” move—one person getting out of the way so another
person can enter her password—is common and accepted.
5. Explain proper behavior when someone else is using her computer and that person
needs to enter, for some valid reason, your password.
If someone asks for your password, do not give it out. Instead, get up, go over to that
person’s machine, and enter your own password yourself. Stay present while your
password is in use, and ensure that your account is logged out at the end of the
activity. No one should mind or be offended in any way when you do this. It is the
mark of a professional.

1. People often use the terms Web and Internet interchangeably, but they are not the
same. Do your best to define each and identify exactly how they are different.
Student answers will vary but a good explanation can be found at the website
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/whats-difference-internetweb/#:~:text=The%20Internet%20is%20a%20global,on%20top%20of%20that%20in
frastructure. It states: “The Internet is a global network of networks while the Web,
also referred formally as World Wide Web (www) is collection of information which
is accessed via the Internet. Another way to look at this difference is; the Internet is
infrastructure while the Web is service on top of that infrastructure.”
2. The article talks about Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. You may be wondering if Web 2.0 is the
end of the line. What do you think—will there be a Web 3.0, and if so, what would it
entail?
Student responses will vary, but should cover some ideas and concepts that are not
already part of Web 1.0 or Web 2.0 specifically.
3. While IoT is clearly having an impact on businesses (e.g., tracking
manufacturing using sensors in production lines) and cities (e.g., tracking traffic
flows, lighting, public transportation), how has IoT impacted your life? Do you
have any IoT devices in your apartment or home? If not, which IoT devices would
you be interested in owning?
Student answers will vary, btu some devices could include Amazon Echo, Google
Nest, and similar devices.
4. Do you think IoT devices feature the newest and most advanced security
measures, or could there be potential security risks from using IoT devices?
