The requirements of doing your selected hands-on project are as follows:
You need to select one from the Projects List below.
You must use the attached Template in Word (DOCX) format for your selected hands-on project report (Note: Please do not modify the format or font of the template and delete any information from the template, otherwise you will lose some points.) and submit your final hands-on project report to the Assignments page on NCAT’s Blackboard website. In addition, the requirements for Section III of your final report are:
Describe your selected topic (i.e., algorithm, protocol, or scheme).
Draw a diagram, flowchart, or structure of your selected topic in detail.
Provide detailed information for each box or step of your diagram, flowchart, or structure (Note: The detailed information should include necessary formulas, equations, values, etc.). For example, if you have a box or step in your diagram, flowchart, or structure called “Encryption or Encryption Algorithm”, you should provide a detailed mathematical formula or equation for it.
You also need to produce a video that is at least five minutes long in MP4 formatpresenting the algorithm, protocol, or scheme in detail for your selected project. (Note: Please use a Zoom screen recording to capture your project presentation demonstration.)
Your five-minute MP4 video should be submitted to the Assignments page on NCAT’s Blackboard website.
Your hands-on project report in DOCX format can be opened and is readable. Your presentation video file in MP4 format should be watchable and clear. That is, you should double check your submitted files after you upload them to Blackboard successfully.
The due time for your final hands-on project report files is Sunday, May 5, 2024, at 11:59pm (EST). (Note: Please remember that there is no late work and email submission allowed).
Please be aware that any copying, cheating, or plagiarizing action in your hands-on project report files will result in a ‘F’ grade for the course.
The template for the project report is attached.
