Q1. What's going on?
The problem that is described in this scenario is about the early
launch of software of a company. The Project Director got an instruction
from the CEO of the company to submit the ongoing project before its
deadline so that the client gets happy and this would help them to get
more projects from the same client and helps in flourishing the company.
The Project Director consults with the Project Manager about the issue
("Scenario 3: Early Launch", 2017). He suggests submitting the software
beforehand without conducting the encryption process of the software.
The Project Manager explains the consequences about not doing the
encryption and submitting the software to the client. Program Director has
also nothing to do as because he is also instructed by his senior to do the
work. The situation arrives where the Program Director and as well as
Project Manager does not know what to do.
Q2. What are the facts?
The facts that are involves in this scenario is about delivering the
product before the date that was scheduled and that too without doing
the encryption process. The early date that is schedule by the CEO in the
provided scenario is too early and is impossible to complete the
encryption process within that time period. The encryption process is an
important part of any software testing before delivering a process
(Daemen & Rijmen, 2013). Converting the electronic data into a form of cipher
text that is not understandable by third parties except the sender or the receiver
is known as encryption. Primarily the purpose of encryption is to give a security
to the digital data that are stored in the system or secure the transmission of
data through Internet or any other networks. There are many elements of
security. Authentication of the original message is one of the main aspects of
security. Maintaining the integrity of the message is the second aspect. The
