What do you think, is there any difference between Static and Dynamic IP Address
assignment? Discuss.
Answer:
Internet Protocol addresses are assigned to a host either a new at the time of
booting, or permanently by fixed configuration of its hardware or software. Persistent
configuration is also known as using a static IP address. In contrast, in situations

when the computer's IP address is assigned newly each
time, this is known as using a dynamic IP address.
Static IP addresses are manually assigned to a computer by an administrator. The

exact procedure varies according to platform. This contrasts with dynamic IP
addresses, which are assigned either by the computer interface or host software
itself.
Static IP address is different from dynamic IP address. Static IP address is for one
customer on one IP address whereas dynamic IP address is a different IP address
for the customer each time when it logs on a computer.

What is Term ‘Catalog

Catalog D
Display’ means?
Answer:
A Static catalog is a simple list written in HTML. One has to edit the HTML code to
change it. A dynamic catalog stores information about items in a database usually on
a different computer accessible by the web server. It can provide photos, detailed
description and search facility about the availability of items.

What is meant by a constructor?
Answer:
Constructor is defined as the initializing function used to create instance/copy of an

object.

What is meant by ‘Shopping Cart’ in context of e commerce?

Answer:
Shopping cart/basket keeps record of the
items the customer has selected and allows
customers to view the details of the items
selected. The customer can add new items or

an item, including its price, product no. and
order identifying information are stored
automatically in the cart.

How ‘Man in The middle Attacks’’ operates?

Answer:
Z
Z
In it the attacker is able to monitor,

capture and control data between
sending and receiving machines. He
may apply IP address spoofing
technique to divert the packets to its
machine, then modify the packets and
resend the misleading information to
the actual client. Another form of man-
in-the-middle attack is where the hacker is able to substitute the IP address of a
genuine web site with the IP address of his own web site due to some security hole
in the software that runs on a domain name server. A client would think that he is
communicating or receiving the information form a genuine web site, though it would
not be the case actually.

Differentiate between front end and back end.

Answer:
Front end consists of that information
which is visible to the user and he can
interact with the same through some
interface. Whereas the back end
comprises that information which
resides on the server side and is used
to create certain dynamic results for the
user.

Write the types of firewalls. Only names? Explain these briefly
Answer:

There are three main types of firewalls detailed as follows:
Packet filter firewall: It uses a set of rules to

determine whether outgoing or incoming data packets
are allowed to pass through the firewall.
Circuit level firewall: It is quite similar to the packet

filter firewall. It also works on the basis of a set of rules
for filtering packets but operates at the transport layer
of the OSI Model so has greater functionality.
Application gateway firewall: It operates at

el.l. It uses strong user

What is the difference
nce between an interpreted and a compiled language? Give one
example of each.
Answer:
In Compiled codes we compile the code or convert it into machine language using
software called compiler whereas in Interpreted language we interpret the code (line
by line) at the run time using a program called interpreter. Compiled code is usually
faster than the interpreted one as regards execution.
Compiled language: C++
Interpreted language: Browser.

What is function of “face” attribute in font tag? Show a small code example.
Answer:
Font tag defines various font properties. ‘Size’, ‘face’ and ‘color’ are its attributes.
Attributes can be used simultaneously in a tag as you can see below: <font size=5
color=red face=Arial>internet and ecommerce</ font>
Example: <p><font face=“Arial”>This text is in the Arial font.</font>


Why we use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for sending data packets?
Each computer on the internet prepares a list of its IP

address and corresponding MAC address using ARP.
Through RARP this information is forwarded to a network
server. When a data packet arrives at the destination router,
it inquires about the corresponding MAC address form the
network server, inserts it and delivers the packet to that
MAC address. A data packet therefore needs both IP and
MAC addresses to reach its destination.

b then only one computer might get
affected and not the entire network.

In which cable, the stealing of data is most difficult?
Answer:
A very interesting aspect of fiber-optic cable is that because it uses
light to transfer network data, it is most susceptible to tapping (that
is, the stealing of data off the line itself).

Answer:

Z
Z
Z
Certification authorities work in a hierarchical fashion. There is the CA at the top

called root CA (the most reputed CA). It can issue certificates to CAs working below
it and those CAs’ can further issue certificates to CAs working under them. In this
fashion a hierarchy of CAs is developed with each CA confirming the public key of
the CA below it through a digital certificate.

Discuss the role of child element tags while in writing XML code.
Answer:

When creating an effective file following the rules of XML, child elements organize
the information. A root element is a container for all other elements. While you must
have a root to create a viable XML file, it is the child elements that add functionality
to the page.
