Cryptology

In my organization, which operates within the public sector, cryptology plays a central role in protecting sensitive data, particularly within our records management systems and inter-agency communications. One of the most widely used cryptographic methods is AES-256 encryption, especially for database storage and file transfer protocols. This symmetric key encryption standard provides a strong balance of speed and security, and its adoption has helped ensure compliance with CJIS and other government data protection requirements (Peltier, 2013).

For secure external communication, we also rely heavily on TLS (Transport Layer Security), particularly for web-based applications and email systems. TLS ensures data confidentiality and integrity during transmission and is integrated into many of our public-facing platforms, such as citizen complaint portals and department-wide internal communications. Additionally, SHA-2 hashing is used for data integrity checks on documents submitted through our digital evidence systems.

A clear advantage of these methods is their maturity and wide adoption, which allows for relatively seamless integration into commercial off-the-shelf software and platforms. The downside, however, is that key management—especially for encrypted backup archives—can become cumbersome. We’ve experienced issues in the past where decryption keys weren’t properly maintained or rotated, leading to accessibility problems during audits or recovery efforts. As Peltier (2013) notes, poor key management can be a critical failure point, even when robust cryptographic tools are in place.

One area I believe needs improvement is end-user awareness and handling of encrypted data. While the backend systems are fairly secure, human error remains a vulnerability. For example, employees sometimes download sensitive encrypted files to personal devices or cloud drives, defeating the purpose of organizational encryption policies. Improving this would require stronger endpoint controls and mandatory encryption for local storage (Whitman & Mattord, 2021).

Going forward, I believe we need to evaluate quantum-resistant cryptography for long-term data protection, especially as federal agencies begin laying the groundwork for post-quantum encryption standards (NIST, 2023). While this might seem premature, critical data archived for 10+ years could be at risk once quantum computing becomes mainstream.

Cryptology

Currently, I am engaged in Communications Security (COMSEC) operations for the wing’s cybersecurity division, which plays a foundational role in safeguarding classified and sensitive information.  This vital role requires vigilance and expertise in implementing cryptologic methods designed to secure voice, data, and network communication.  These methods adherer strictly to standards approved by the National Security Agency (NSA), ensuring robust encryption and protection against potential breaches.  We operate on Key Management Infrastructure (KMI), a system that centralize control over key distribution, auding, and accountability.  The KMI’s integrated framework bring numerous advantages, including the enhanced security and automation of key lifecycle management processes such as distribution, revocation, and destruction.  Some challenges we face in COMSEC include the complexity of KMI, which can slow down operation when agility is needed in dynamic operational environments, particularly during emergencies.   KMI training is highly specialized and provided at only one location for the entire Air Force.  Training takes one month to complete, creating gaps in staffing.  Mastery of KMI operations takes years to fully grasp both operational and administrative to run the account effectively.  This steep learning curve places additional pressure on personnel to perform flawlessly in high-stakes scenarios.

 

For future improvement in the administrative processes of COMSEC, unifying all documents to include digital signature would be highly beneficial.  Currently, handle numerous documents, with some requiring wet signatures and others relying solely on digital ones.  Standardizing this process would streamline operations and reduce complexity.  Interestingly, COMSEC falls under the IT domain, yet it often feels more like an administrative role.  Many of my co-workers who have spent the majority of their careers in COMSEC enjoy job security within this field but struggle to qualify for other positions in IT.

Data Analysis

This Assignment will use the same Texas STAAR Test Data from the One-Way Assignment. Similar to the first one, you will follow the instructions to create a 2×2 Full Factorial model to test whether the Test Prep Course significantly influences test scores, and whether this effect is greater in Females or Males.  To do this, you will use Test Prep and Gender as treatments and/or blocking factors, then test for a significant interaction.  You will follow steps to do this for all three test subjects in Questions 1-3, then upload the results in Question 4 just like last time.

(If you are lost, don’t worry.  I will post a video in which I work through Reading for both assignments by Wednesday.  Then you can use that for direction in how to tackle the other two, so it’s probably worth waiting and not trying to rush through just to be done with it.)

Data Analysis

Flag question: Question 1

Question 130 pts

For large complex analyses such as these, you may wish to reboot your computer before you begin.  JASP uses a lot of virtual memory.  Load the Texas STAAR file into JASP, then make sure the that your data loaded correctly.  Since we have already examined the data, we will skip the descriptives this time.  Proceed to ANOVA and begin.

Question 1: Analyze Math Scores

Next, you will use statistical analysis to determine whether the parent’s education level significantly influences a child’s test scores in math.  Open the correct module and name it ANOVA PrepxGen-Math.  Choose the appropriate analytical technique to test the following hypotheses for α=.05.:

H0:μCompleted=μNone

H1:μCompleted≠μNone

Data Analysis

H0:μFemale=μMale

H2:μFemale≠μMale

 

H0:μPrepij∗Female=μPrepij∗Male

H3:μPrepij∗Female≠μPrepij∗Male

 

Perform all necessary omnibus tests to ensure that the assumptions for the analysis have been met.  Include the Q-Q plot as a test for normality, but you may assume that normality has been met for all three dependent variables. We will not be performing nonparametric analyses in this assignment.  Test for homogeneity of variances, however if Levene’s test is significant (p < .05), then we will still perform the analyses using Type III Model since there is no variance correction for factorial ANOVA and we cannot test interactions using KW nonparametric techniques.

Use the default Type III sum of squares model if homogeneity of variances can be assumed.  Include the descriptive statistics table for this analysis and use partial eta square to estimate the effect size of the treatment, block, and interaction.

Perform post-hoc analysis using Tukey’s test for pairwise comparisons of the treatment, block, and interaction if appropriate.  Flag significant values, show the 95% CI, calculate Cohen’s d for effect size, select conditional comparisons for interactions, and also present the simple main effects.

For visual presentation, also include descriptive plots with 95% error bars for Test Prep, with Gender displayed separately.  Then include raincloud plots displayed horizontally with Gender plotted separately.

Data Analysis

Use the results from ANOVA Parent-Math to answer the following questions:

 

Q1p1– What is the test statistic (F-value) for the Test Prep Course?          [ Select ]      [“14.551”, “”] 

Q1p2- What is the test statistic (F-value) for Gender?          [ Select ]      [“5.155”, “”] 

Q1p3- What is the test statistic (F-value) for the Interaction Term?          [ Select ]      [“3.188”, “”] 

Q1p4- What is the effect size (partial eta squared) for the Test Prep Course?          [ Select ]      [“.067”, “0.067”] 

Q1p5- What is the effect size (partial eta squared) for Gender?          [ Select ]      [“.025”, “0.025”] 

Q1p6- What is the effect size (partial eta squared) for the Interaction Term?          [ Select ]      [“.015”, “0.015”] 

Q1p7- What is the p-value for Levene’s test?          [ Select ]      [“.784”, “0.784”] 

Q1p8- What is the p-value for the interaction term?          [ Select ]      [“.076”, “0.076”] 

Q1p9– Does the Test Prep Course significantly increase math exam scores? (yes/no)          [ Select ]      [“yes”, “”] 

Q1p10– Does the Test Prep Course benefit Females significantly more than Males? (yes/no)          [ Select ]      [“no”, “”]

Advocacy Plan for Change

During this Performance Task Assessment, you will identify and research an issue in the early childhood field where you can be a strong advocate. You will then develop and implement an advocacy plan to address the issue. Finally, you will reflect upon your efforts as an advocate in the early childhood field.

Advocacy Plan for Change

 

Prepare to develop your Advocacy Plan by reviewing the resource How to Write for Positive Social Change, and consider an advocacy issue in the early childhood field you might be able to impact in your current role. Then, complete the following four sections in the Advocacy Plan Template:

Section 1: Advocacy Issue in Early Childhood (1—2 paragraphs per question; 2—3 pages total)

Advocacy Plan for Change

  • Explain your selected advocacy issue and the goals and outcomes you want to achieve through your advocacy plan.,
    • Respond to each of the following questions to develop a detailed explanation of your advocacy issue and goals:,

  • What is anti-oppressive practice (AOP)?,
    • In your definition/explanation of AOP consider key concepts such as privilege power and oppression.,
    • discuss AOP as a response to privilege and power.,
    • Bring in course content in your discussion of AOP.,
    • DO not rely solidly on someone else’s definition – show that you understand this as an idea central to SW practice.,
  • Why is it important for our profession to move forward understanding not only what AOP is but how to engage in it.,
    • Here it would be pertinent to provide definitions and to connect ideas with professional ethics and values.,
    • You should also include some discussion/understanding of the history/legacy of our profession that has not always/does not always mirror anti-oppressive practices:, How has social work engaged in system oppression?
  • Select one area of practice that is important to you and examine how practice in this area has been complicit in oppression and injustice. TIP: Choose a population/practice space that is important to you professionally.
  • Anti Oppressive Practice
    • you should use scholarly research/peer reviewed sources to comprise this section of your paper
    • you will likely have to infer from history and prior “best practices” to discuss what has been complicit in oppression and injustice – this may not be evident in the literature.
  • Provide a discussion of what anti-oppression would look like in this same space. Be creative and specific here. This is an opportunity for you to re-imagine facets of social work practice. Explain why this is anti-oppressive.
  • Identify three ways in which you will engage in anti-oppressive practice; connect this to learning in the course/readings/modules and, when appropriate, to the specific population/area of practice you have identified.

Your paper should utilize a minimum of seven sources inclusive of those found within the course and those you’ve researched on your own. A mix of journal articles, reflections, opinion essays, books, etc. is appropriate for this paper.

Anti Oppressive Practice

YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE MUST INCLUDE AN ACCURATE WEB LINK TO EACH SOURCE OR YOU MUST UPLOAD A PDF OF THE SOURCE. THIS PROTECTS YOU AS A STUDENT AS IT CUTS DOWN ON USE OF AI GENERATED SOURCES.

NOTE: For this paper you need to hone in on one specific area of practice – this could be child welfare, working with older adults, sport social work, hospice and palliative care, clinical practice with teens, addictions/recovery, housing and homelessness, etc. Your module 10 assignment will serve as an ‘approval’ of a topic.
