You need to be clear yet concise. Draft a one page response.

Parallels between a traditional file index and the file directory system? - What are the parallels between a traditional file index and the file directory system maintained by an operating system. In what ways does an operating system's file directory differ from a traditional index?

Access time in hard-disk - Consider a disk holding files with an average file length of 5 KB. Each file is allocated contiguously on adjacent sectors. To better utilize the disk space, it must be periodically compacted, which involves reading each file sequentially and writing it back to a new location. Assuming the standard sector size of 512, an average seek time of 50 ms, 100 sectors per tra...

3-DES and RSA - No one has formally “proven” that 3-DES or RSA are “secure”. Given this, what evidence do we have that they are indeed secure Try to explain with your own words (no google or wikipedia).
