Q2.) What is network? Explain different types of network?

 In information technology, a network is defined as the

connection of at least two computer systems, either by
a cable or a wireless connection. The simplest network is
a combination of two computers connected by a cable.
This type of network is called a peer-to-peer network.
There is no hierarchy in this network; both participants
have equal privileges. Each computer has access to the
data of the other device and can share resources such
as disk space, applications or peripheral devices (printers,
etc.).
Today’s networks tend to be a bit more complex and don’t just
consist of two computers. Systems with more than ten
participants usually use client-server networks. In these
networks, a central computer (server) provides resources to the
other participants in the network (clients).
How does a network work?

In a typical client-server network there is a central node called

the server. The server is connected to the other devices, which
are called clients. This connection is either wireless (Wireless
LAN) or wired (LAN).
In a typical home network, the router assumes the role of the
server. It is connected to the Internet and provides the
“Internet” resource for the other devices (computers,
smartphones, etc.).
There are various types of Computer Networking options available.
The classification of network in computers can be done according to
their size as well as their purpose.
The size of a network should be expressed by the geographic area
and number of computers, which are a part of their networks. It
includes
devices housed
in a single
room to
millions of
devices spread
across the
world.
Following are the popular types of Computer Network:

• Types of Computer Networks

• PAN (Personal Area Network)

• LAN (Local Area Network)

• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

• WAN (Wide Area Network)

Let’s study all of these types of networking in detail.

What is PAN (Personal Area Network)?

PAN (Personal Area Network) is a computer network formed around
a person. It generally consists of a computer, mobile, or personal
digital assistant. PAN can be used for establishing communication
among these personal devices for connecting to a digital network
and the internet.

Characteristics of PAN

Below are the main characteristics of PAN:

 • It is mostly personal devices network equipped within a limited
area.

• Allows you to handle the interconnection of IT devices at the

surrounding of a single user.

• PAN includes mobile devices, tablet, and laptop.

• It can be wirelessly connected to the internet called WPAN.

• Appliances use for PAN: cordless mice, keyboards, and

Bluetooth systems.

Advantages of PAN

Here are the important pros/benefits of PAN network:

• PAN networks are relatively secure and safe

• It offers only short-range solution up to ten meters

• Strictly restricted to a small area

Disadvantages of PAN
Here are the cons/drawbacks of using PAN network:
• It may establish a bad connection to other networks at the

same radio bands.

• Distance limits.

What is a LAN (Local Area Network)?

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computer and peripheral
devices which are connected in a limited area such as school,
laboratory, home, and office building. It is a widely useful network
for sharing resources like files, printers, games, and other
application. The simplest type of LAN network is to connect
computers and a printer in someone’s home or office. In general,
LAN will be used as one type of transmission medium. It is a network
which consists of less than 5000 interconnected devices across
several buildings.

Local Area Network (LAN)

Characteristics of LAN

Here are the important characteristics of a LAN network:

• It is a private network, so an outside regulatory body never

controls it.

• LAN operates at a relatively higher speed compared to other

WAN systems.

• There are various kinds of media access control methods like

token ring and ethernet.

Advantages of LAN

Here are the pros/benefits of LAN:

• Computer resources like hard-disks, DVD-ROM, and printers

can share local area networks. This significantly reduces the
cost of hardware purchases.
• You can use the same software over the network instead of
purchasing the licensed software for each client in the network.

• Data of all network users can be stored on a single hard disk of

the server computer.

• You can easily transfer data and messages over networked

computers.
 • It will be easy to manage data at only one place, which makes
data more secure.

• Local Area Network offers the facility to share a single internet

connection among all the LAN users.

Disadvantages of LAN

Here are the cons/drawbacks of LAN:

• LAN will indeed save cost because of shared computer

resources, but the initial cost of installing Local Area Networks
is quite high.

• The LAN admin can check personal data files of every LAN user,
so it does not offer good privacy.

• Unauthorized users can access critical data of an organization in

case LAN admin is not able to secure centralized data
repository.

• Local Area Network requires a constant LAN administration as

there are issues related to software setup and hardware
failures What is WAN (Wide Area Network)?

WAN (Wide Area Network) is another important computer network

that which is spread across a large geographical area. WAN network
system could be a connection of a LAN which connects with other
LAN’s using telephone lines and radio waves. It is mostly limited to
an enterprise or an organization.
Wide Area Network (WAN)

Characteristics of WAN

Below are the characteristics of WAN:

 • The software files will be shared among all the users; therefore,
all can access to the latest files.

• Any organization can form its global integrated network using

WAN.

Advantages of WAN

Here are the benefits/pros of WAN:

• WAN helps you to cover a larger geographical area. Therefore

business offices situated at longer distances can easily
communicate.

• Contains devices like mobile phones, laptop, tablet, computers,

gaming consoles, etc.

• WLAN connections work using radio transmitters and receivers

built into client devices.

Disadvantages of WAN

Here are the drawbacks/cons of WAN network:

• The initial setup cost of investment is very high.

• It is difficult to maintain the WAN network. You need skilled

technicians and network administrators.

• There are more errors and issues because of the wide coverage
and the use of different technologies.

• It requires more time to resolve issues because of the

involvement of multiple wired and wireless technologies.

What is MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)?

A Metropolitan Area Network or MAN is consisting of a computer
network across an entire city, college campus, or a small region. This
type of network is large than a LAN, which is mostly limited to a
single building or site. Depending upon the type of configuration, this
type of network allows you to cover an area from several miles to
tens of miles.

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

Characteristics of MAN

Here are important characteristics of the MAN network:

• It mostly covers
towns and cities in a
maximum 50 km
range

• Mostly used
medium is optical
fibers, cables

• Data rates adequate for distributed computing applications.

Advantages of MAN
Here are the pros/benefits of MAN network:
• It offers fast communication using high-speed carriers, like fiber

optic cables.
 • It provides excellent support for an extensive size network and
greater access to WANs.

• The dual bus in MAN network provides support to transmit

data in both directions concurrently.

• A MAN network mostly includes some areas of a city or an

entire city.

Disadvantages of MAN
Here are drawbacks/cons of using the MAN network:

• You need more cable to establish MAN connection from one

place to another.

• In MAN network it is tough to make the system secure from

hackers

Other Types of Computer Networks

Apart from above mentioned computer networks, here are some
other important types of networks:

• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)

• Storage Area Network

• System Area Network

• Home Area Network

• POLAN- Passive Optical LAN

• Enterprise private network

• Campus Area Network

• Virtual Area Network

Let’s see all these different types of networks in detail:

1) WLAN
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) helps you to link single or
multiple devices using wireless communication within a limited area
like home, school, or office building. It gives users an ability to move
around within a local coverage area which may be connected to the
network. Today most modern day’s WLAN systems are based on IEEE
802.11 standards.

2) Storage-Area Network (SAN)

A Storage Area Network is a type of network which allows
consolidated, block-level data storage. It is mainly used to make
storage devices, like disk arrays, optical jukeboxes, and tape libraries.

3) System-Area Network
System Area Network is used for a local network. It offers high-speed
connection in server-to-server and processor-to-processor
applications. The computers connected on a SAN network operate as
a single system at quite high speed.

4) Passive Optical Local Area Network

POLAN is a networking technology which helps you to integrate into
structured cabling. It allows you to resolve the issues of supporting
Ethernet protocols and network apps.

POLAN allows you to use optical splitter which helps you to separate
an optical signal from a single-mode optical fiber. It converts this
single signal into multiple signals.

5) Home Area Network (HAN):

A Home Area Network is always built using two or more
interconnected computers to form a local area network (LAN) within
the home. For example, in the United States, about 15 million homes
have more than one computer.

These types of network connections help computer owners to

interconnect with multiple computers. This network allows sharing
files, programs, printers, and other peripherals.

6) Enterprise Private Network :

Enterprise private network (EPN) networks are build and owned by
businesses that want to securely connect numerous locations in
order to share various computer resources.

7) Campus Area Network (CAN):

A Campus Area Network is made up of an interconnection of LANs
within a specific geographical area. For example, a university campus
can be linked with a variety of campus buildings to connect all the
academic departments.

8) Virtual Private Network:

A VPN is a private network which uses a public network to connect
remote sites or users together. The VPN network uses “virtual”
connections routed through the internet from the enterprise’s
private network or a third-party VPN service to the remote site.

It is a free or paid service that keeps your web browsing secure and
private over public WiFi hotspots.

ASSINGMENT-2
Q.1)What do you understand by digital signature
A digital signature is a mathematical technique used to validate the
authenticity and integrity of a digital document, message or
software. It's the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature or
stamped seal, but it offers far more inherent security. A digital
signature is intended to solve the problem of tampering and
impersonation in digital communications.

Digital signatures can provide evidence of origin, identity and status

of electronic documents, transactions or digital messages. Signers
can also use them to acknowledge informed consent. In many
countries, including the U.S., digital signatures are considered legally
binding in the same way as traditional handwritten document
signatures.

Q.2) What are digital financial services and what are the
applications of digital financial services?
The spread of the internet and the availability of affordable
smartphones have made it easy for many to use various digital
services. People can obtain a lot of information from the internet. It
is possible to communicate with people across the world at an
affordable price. Technology enables people to get entertainment
inside their homes without having to go anywhere. But the main
benefit of digitalisation comes from digital financial services. One
need not go anywhere to make a financial transaction. All one needs
is a smartphone and reliable internet services.

All financial transactions done using a digital device are called digital
financial services. There is a range of such services offered by banks
and other institutions. The most common service that has become
highly popular is shopping. It is possible to buy stuff using your
mobile phone and a service provider app. Probably the earliest digital
instruments were cards and ATMs. Credit and debit cards facilitate
payment for various purposes. ATMs are used for the withdrawal of
money from bank accounts. Recently they have also been upgraded
to accept cash deposits into a bank account.

APPLICATION OF DIGITAL FINANCIAL SERVICES

In today's world, everything is digitized, which means we can access
or get every service in digital format through mobile phones,
computers, tablets, etc. The invention of computers and
smartphones has created a huge impact on financial services. Today
using computers and mobile phones, a person can access his/her
bank account, verify account details, transfer funds, deposit cash,
renew deposit, pay bills, book tickets, etc. Also, the invention of
ATMs reduced the time taken to withdraw money from banks. Digital
services help to save time by providing services in a single touch. The
introduction of digital wallets has also made a big positive impact on
financial services.

In this topic, we are going to discuss in detail the importance of

savings, importance of bank, banking products like accounts,
deposits, loans, procedure for opening an account, banking services
through a bank branch, ATM, internet banking, mobile banking,
mobile wallets, insurance and various schemes introduced by the

Why are savings needed?

Savings is the percentage of income which is not spent on present
expenditures, instead conserved for future use. Being totally
unaware of the future happenings, one should be ready to face any
kind of unpredictable events. In such tough situations, our savings
will be very helpful and beneficial to us.

Emergencies
Emergencies may come at anytime and we should always have a
backup to handle such situations. Some examples of emergencies
from our day to day life are − Personal and family health issues.

Sudden financial help for friends or relatives.

saving from early stages can help in fulfilling this dream.

mail basics?
Certainly! Email, short for electronic mail, is a method of exchanging
messages electronically between individuals or organizations. It has
become one of the most popular forms of communication in both
personal and professional settings. Here are the basics of how email
works:

Email Address: An email address is a unique identifier that allows

others to send messages to you. It typically consists of a username
followed by the "@" symbol and the domain name of the email
service provider (e.g., exampleuser@[Link]). You need to have
an email address to send and receive emails.
Email Clients: An email client is a software or application that allows
you to access your email account. Common email clients include
web-based services like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, as well as
desktop applications like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or
Apple Mail.

Composing and Sending Emails: To send an email, you start by

composing a message. You enter the recipient's email address in the
"To" field and optionally add recipients to the "CC" (Carbon Copy) or
"BCC" (Blind Carbon Copy) fields. The "CC" field notifies other
recipients that the email has been sent to them, while the "BCC" field hides
the recipients' addresses from each other. You then enter a subject line that
summarizes the content of the email. Finally, you write your message in the
body of the email.

Attachments: Emails allow you to attach files such as documents, images, or

videos. You can typically attach files by clicking on a paperclip icon or using a
specific attachment option in your email client. Attachments are commonly
used for sharing documents, photos, or other files with the recipient(s).

Sending and Receiving Emails: Once you have composed your email, you
click the "Send" button to transmit it. The email is sent from your email client
to your email service provider's server. The server then routes the email to the
recipient's email service provider, which delivers it to their inbox. The recipient
can then access the email through their email client or webmail interface.

Inbox and Folders: Incoming emails are received in your inbox. You can
organize your emails by creating folders or labels to categorize them (e.g.,
work, personal, finances). This allows you to manage and find emails more
easily.

Replying and Forwarding: When you receive an email, you can reply to the
sender by clicking the "Reply" button. This opens a new email window with the
sender's email address already filled in. You can write your response and send
it. If you want to send the email to additional recipients, you can use the
"Reply All" option. You can also forward an email to another person by clicking
the "Forward" button, which sends a copy of the email to the desired recipient.

Email Etiquette: It is important to follow email etiquette when

composing and sending emails. This includes using proper greetings,
being concise and clear in your message, using a professional tone in
business communications, and avoiding the use of all caps (which is
considered shouting) or excessive use of emoticons.

Email Security: Email security is crucial to protect your privacy and

prevent unauthorized access. It is recommended to use a strong and
unique password for your email account, enable two-factor
authentication if available, and be cautious when opening
attachments or clicking on links in suspicious emails to avoid phishing
or malware attacks.

These are the basics of email. It's a versatile and widely used tool for
communication, allowing people to send messages, share files, and
stay connected over long distances.

Q.4) What is electronic payment system?

An electronic payment system, also known as a digital payment
system, is a method of making financial transactions electronically,
without the need for physical cash or traditional paper-based
methods. It allows individuals and businesses to send and receive
money conveniently and securely. Here's an explanation of the
electronic payment system:

Payment Cards: One of the most common forms of electronic

payment is through payment cards, such as credit cards, debit cards,
and prepaid cards. These cards store the necessary information to
process transactions, including the cardholder's account details, card
number, and expiration date. When making a purchase, the
cardholder provides the card information to the merchant, who
processes the payment electronically.

Online Payments: With the rise of e-commerce, online payment

methods have become prevalent. Online payment systems enable
individuals to make purchases on websites or mobile apps. This can
be done by entering payment card information directly or by using
digital payment services like PayPal, Stripe, or Apple Pay. These
services securely store the cardholder's information and facilitate the
payment process on behalf of the user.

Mobile Payments: Mobile payment solutions have gained

popularity, allowing users to make payments using their
smartphones or other mobile devices. Mobile payment apps, such as
Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or Apple Pay, use near field
communication (NFC) technology to enable contactless payments.
Users can link their payment cards or bank accounts to these apps
and simply tap their device on a compatible payment terminal to
complete a transaction.

Digital Wallets: Digital wallets are virtual wallets that store

payment card information and other financial details securely. They
allow users to make purchases both online and in physical stores.
Digital wallets can be accessed through mobile apps or desktop
applications and often provide additional features like loyalty card
integration, receipt management, and peer-to-peer money transfers.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Payments: P2P payment systems enable

individuals to transfer money directly to each other using electronic
methods. These systems eliminate the need for cash or checks when
splitting bills, paying friends, or reimbursing someone. Popular P2P
payment platforms include Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal's "Send Money
to Friends and Family" feature.

Online Banking: Many banks offer online banking services that

allow customers to manage their accounts, pay bills, and transfer
funds electronically. Online banking enables individuals to make
payments directly from their bank accounts to merchants or other
individuals using features like bank transfers or automated
clearinghouse (ACH) transactions.

Q.2) What is public key Crytography?

Public key cryptography, also known as asymmetric
cryptography, is a cryptographic method that uses a pair of
keys for secure communication. It provides a way to encrypt
data using a recipient's public key and decrypt it using the
corresponding private key.
Here's how public key cryptography works:

Key Pair Generation: In public key cryptography, a user

generates a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key
and a private key. The public key is freely shared with others,
while the private key is kept secret and known only to the
owner.
Encryption: To send an encrypted message to someone, the
sender uses the recipient's public key to encrypt the
message. The public key is used to perform the encryption
operation, transforming the plaintext message into
ciphertext.

Decryption: The recipient, who possesses the corresponding

private key, can decrypt the ciphertext using their private
key. Only the private key associated with the public key used
for encryption can successfully decrypt the message,
revealing the original plaintext.

Key characteristics and benefits of public key cryptography:

Encryption and Confidentiality: Public key cryptography
enables secure communication by encrypting sensitive
information using the recipient's public key. This ensures
confidentiality during data transmission, as only the intended
recipient possesses the private key required for decryption.

Digital Signatures: Public key cryptography also facilitates the

creation of digital signatures. A sender can use their private
key to generate a unique signature for a message, and the
recipient can use the sender's public key to verify the
authenticity and integrity of the message.

Key Distribution: Public key cryptography addresses the

challenge of securely distributing encryption keys. With
public key encryption, there is no need for a secure exchange
of keys beforehand. The recipient's public key can be freely
shared, while the private key remains securely held by the
owner.
Secure Communication: Public key cryptography provides a
secure method for exchanging symmetric encryption keys.
Two parties can use public key encryption to establish a
secure communication channel and exchange symmetric keys
that are then used for efficient and faster encryption and
decryption of large amounts of data.

Digital Certificates: Public key cryptography forms the basis

for digital certificates, which are issued by trusted third-party
entities known as Certificate Authorities (CAs). Digital
certificates bind an individual's or organization's identity to
their public key, providing a means to establish trust and
verify the authenticity of public keys.

Public key cryptography is widely used in various

applications, such as secure email communication (PGP),
secure web browsing (SSL/TLS), digital signatures, secure file
transfer (SFTP), and virtual private networks (VPNs). It forms
a fundamental building block of modern cryptographic
systems, ensuring secure and confidential communication
over insecure networks.
