Description
Assignment details:
1. The hash value of a message is a one-way “unique value” that can be extracted from the message using algorithms like MD5 and SHA-x. In this paper, you are going to use a hash calculator (the best way to find one is to google hash calculator). Cut and paste the message below into a hash calculator and compute the MD5 or SHA-1 hashed value. Once you have the hashed value, store it in a text file (notepad). Now, search for an AES encryption tool on the Internet (google: AES encryption tool). Paste the hashed value into the AES tool (note that you will need to create a secret password/key to use the AES Encryption tool. Once the encryption is completed, explain the resulting value (what is it?). use APA format.

Explanation & Answer
Hiplease receive the answer
The message to encrypt is
“American Public University is a great University with outstanding instructors”
Using the online tool found at http://onlinemd5.com/, I have chosen MD5 to SHA-1
The result for MD5 encryption is B9A709F81D3C2EC4759B43E2192C2EBE
The result obtained above is a 128-bit hash and not encrypted data. The result obtained by MD5
is one way and it’s not 100% reversible.
Next was encrypting the hash obtained using ...
