Sunshine Land will have to contact the designer of our rides, Architect Plus, to let them know what they want their next design to be.
Sending the message: They first have to decide to send the message to Architect Plus. Sunshine Land uses Architect Plus' public key to encrypt the message being sent. Then, the message is sent to Architect Plus. Architect Plus uses its own private key to decrypt the message. Finally, Architect Plus can read the message that was sent by us.
Signing the message: Sunshine Land decides to sign a document to be emailed to Architect Plus. Sunshine Land uses it's own private key to sign the message. The message is sent to Architect Plus. Then, Architect Plus uses our, Sunshine Land, public key to verify our signature. Finally, Architect Plus can now be certain that we signed the document.
Sunshine Land can be threatened by accidents and natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, fires, etc. Outside intruders could possibly put a virus in our system and potentially shut it down. Employees could unknowingly open up emails that contain viruses that, yet again, could potentially shut our system down. If Sunshine Land sends information through the internet to Architect Plus, for example, it could potentially be accessed by an unknowingly source. That source could use our personal information to hack into our system and mess up our system. We can safeguard our information by making outsiders and employees type in an ID number and a password to get into the system.

7.1 How Encryption Work
Our business would be be threatened by the 5 most common threats to information systems security. Because there could be a natural disaster. Where our business is based they have had earthquakes and hurricanes. Another threat would be out database admin. If with the them have access to our data at all times. Another threat would be if our employee is checking email and there is a virus in it. Last would be hackers, and crackers.To safeguard our information system from exposure to theses threats, we will move our servers, and place back up servers in different states. Next we will only allow our database admin a certain time to access the system. Then we will have certain sights blocked on the we. Last to prevent the hackers we will put in place a firewall.
Part B.
All encryption systems use a key, the code that scrambles and then decodes messages. When both sender and recipient use the same key, this is called a symmetric secret key system.
1.SunShine Land will send a layout document of our rollercoaster design and emails it to the architect plus company
2.SunShine Land will use the architect plus company public key to encrypt a message
3. Architect plus uses there private key to decrypt the message
4. Architect plus can read or print our decrypted message

5.3 B2E Electric Commerce
This intranet diagram shows how Sunshine Land, the client, can interact with their employees by setting up a place on their website that will pertain to their employees. They can put their schedules on the internet and the regular schedule of the actual amusement park.The information,server, will go through the firewall and then the VPN, to make sure the information is secure, and it will reach the employee that is outside of the local network.
5.2 B2B Electronic Commerce
In the extranet diagram, Sunshine Land, the client, will be sending information through the VPN to Costco, the server. The information that the client wants to send to the server over the internet will have to go through a firewall to make sure it doesn't contain any viruses. The extranet will allow Sunshine Land to do business with Costco through a secured network and give us an opportunity to do business swiftly and safely.
4.4 Entity Relationship Diagram
The three entities that we chose to show in the diagram are customer, invoice, and product. For the customer entity the attribute types that we chose to include for the different records are customer number, first and last name, the phone number, and their address (including street, zip code, city, state). For the invoice attribute types we chose to include invoice number, customer ID, product ID, date, subtotal, and total. For the product attribute types we chose to include product number, quantity, description, unit price, and total. When we gather enough information from our customers we will make database tables with these attribute types and fill in the records with attributes of those customers. The attributes will be of various data types and we will make relationships with them to connect the three entities.

5.1 Check Your Competition
Rule 1: Website should offer something unique
Rule 2: The website should be pleasing to the eye
Rule 3: Website must be easy to use and fast
Rule 4: Website must motivate people to visit
Rule 5: Must advertise presence on the web
Rule 6: You should learn from your website
The results from "Alexa.com" post data that says "KingsDominion" is 152,460 in Alexa traffic rank, it is 41,993 ranked in US and has a reputation 464.

The results from "Alexa.com" post data that says "KingsDominion" is 152,460 in Alexa traffic rank, it is 41,993 ranked in US and has a reputation 464.
Estimated percentage of global internet users who visit kingsdominion.com:
Reach | Change | ||
1 month | 0.00074 | -30% | |
---|---|---|---|
3 month | 0.00104 | -7% |
The competitor website we chose to compare to was Kings Dominion's website.
Rule 1:
- This website offers the same amount of services like any other amusement park website. There are tabs to click to receive online specials, see new attractions, and there is a tab on the website to purchase your tickets online!
Rule 2:
- When customers go on Kings Dominion's website they see the bright colors and huge letters to describe what their park contains. Also, there is a slide show of pictures describing the new attractions and specials.
Rule 3:
- I think the website is easy to use because it is very organized.
Rule 4:
- Personally, I think this website motivates people other than the online prices of the tickets because they are usually cheaper online. Other than the ticket prices, the customers see what new attractions are at the park when they are on the homepage of the website.
Rule 5:
- When you search for amusement parks on Google, Kings Dominion is an organic link. It doesn't appear on the side of the screen with the other adds where Busch Gardens is. I think they need to advertise their website more so people will notice it.
Rule 6:
- On Alexa.com, this website's traffic rate is 152,460 which is really good. But the time on the site was around last month for only a couple of minutes, which isn't really good compared to other websties.

4.2 Packet Switching Tech
In the image shown above it is the entire process of packet switching technology the brown part of the diagram is the shared network system also known as the router it collects all the packets that are sent to it
Computer A, B, C and D. The First part of TCP, breaks information into small chunks called data packets and manages the transfer of those packets from computer to computer.
A single document may be broken into several packets, each containing several hundred character, as well as a destination address . The IP defines how a data packet must be formed and to where a router must forward each packet.
Packets travel independently to their destination, sometimes following differentt paths and arriving out of order.
The destination compute reassembles all the packets on the basis of their identification and sequencing info.
IP data-gram, is a routing and delivery are possible because, as previously mentioned, every computer and router connected to the.
Internet is assigned a unique address, called IP address. A client is any computer, such as a user workstation or PC on the network, or any software application.
A server is any computer on the network that makes access to files, printing, communications, and other services available to users of the network.

4.1 Infastructure
Shown above is an image that has a very basic breakdown of the infrastructure that is involved in all computers as one can see the word "HELLO" is an English greeting and once typed into the computer using the the input technologies shown i.e. the keyboard it is then sent into the computer's processing technologies which searches through the binary code established in the system. once recognized the computer's control system then decides by the time each letter was typed it will put it in that other to make the word then will be readable through its output technologies. It is very easy to tell that the ASCII is being used due to the computers understanding of the English language and how it is the American standard code for information interchange this is a form of machine language. The computer has a CPU and within that it is broken up into two parts an ALU and a control unit.

3.2 Fear, Fact, Faith
.•Faith- We believe that having a customer relationship management system will help us to serve our customers significantly better, and in doing so, we will beat the opposing competition.
•Fear – We believe that the management information system will help us focus on all of the miscellaneous tasks throughout the park better and not be disorganized. We could possibly lose track of the company and potentially lose money if we don’t implement this information system.
•Fact- The cost benefit analysis chart shows that implementing knowledge management will help us reduce errors by 55 percent , reduce operating cost by 20 percent a year, increase production by 5 percent a year, and will pay for itself within 6 months. ieve that the management information system will help us focus on all of the miscellaneous tasks throughout the park better and not be disorganized. We could possibly lose track of the company and potentially lose money if we don’t implement this information system.

2.2 Automobile Industry
1. How is globalization 3.0 fueling change in the auto industry?
Globalization 3.0 is fueling change in the auto industry because it show that the success of failure of any major global firm has a ripple effects far beyond its home country.
2. Examine how cultural differences make it difficult to create a world car.
Cultural differences make it difficult to create a world car because consumers in different areas of the world have different tastes in automobiles. For example , small cab size has long been accepted in Europe, but American consumers prefer larger cabs.
The way that globalization 3.o is fueling the auto industry is because the the large amount of automobile makers and there all very far and vast locations of another fact is that the world and its people are becoming more aware of the distinctions of national markets and how they will be there for season or so and then began to fade and in worse case scenarios disappear entirely.
It also brings up the idea of creating a "world car". The three attempts were made to produce and market a world car: Honda's Accord, Fords Mondeo/Contour, and GM's Cadillac Catera/Opel Omega. The development of a "world car" may not yet be accomplished until more cultural globalization is done. Some of the difficulties with that is the culture the fact that America people are use to more nicer and larger scale cars than those of the other countries that have tiny cars that an American would struggle trying to get into, and the placement of the steering wheel and the changing of the measurement system while US does not have the metric system in place.
