Please read the following instructions carefully before submitting assignment.

It should be clear that your assignment will not get any credit if:

 

• The assignment is submitted after due date.
• The submitted assignment does not open or file is corrupt.
• Assignment is copied(partial or full) from any source (websites, forums, students, etc)

 

 

Objective

 

The objective of this assignment is:

• Learn to code, edit, compile and execute C++ program.
• Learn to manipulate and navigate through text files.
• Learn to create and use user defined functions.
• Learn to use string manipulation functions.

Guidelines

 

• Code should properly be indented and well commented.
• Follow C/C++ naming conventions while using variables, functions etc.
• Use only Dev-C++ for this assignment. If you are using any other tool then mention it at top of your code file as comments.

 

Assignment Description

 

In this assignment, you are required to write c++ code that will protect the provided text file using the protection mechanism given in guidelines. It will also check the security of file and if any change is made in the contents of protected file, it will point out the file as changed.

 

Protection mechanism:

The program will protect the file by generating a protection key on the basis of contents of the file. The key will be saved at the end of the file with “%” symbol as prefix. This key will be used to detect either the file contents are changed or not e.g. if file contents are changed the new key generated will not match the existing one, leading to conclusion that file contents have been changed.

 

Solution guidelines

The program should operate in following sequence.

• Program will prompt the user to enter the file name in current directory.
• System will show a menu with two options:
  • Protect the file
  • Check security status
• In case user selects the first option (i.e. protect the file), the system will perform the following steps:
  • Read the file
  • Check if the file is already protected or not.
  • In case if file is not protected, program will protect it by the protection mechanism defined above.
  • If file is already protected, system will display appropriate message and exit.
• If user selects the second option (i.e. check security status), the system will perform following steps:
  • Read the entire file and if key does not exist (i.e. file is not already protected), program will display the message to protect the file first and display menu.
  • If file is already protected, the system will read the contents along with the already existing key. On the basis of contents read, a new key will be generated. If this new key and the existing one (read from the file) do not match, it means that the contents of protected file are changed and vice versa.

 

Important note

A text file (data.txt) is attached with assignment, use it for protection checking. Video file (Output-Demo.mp4) of desired function is also attached with assignment. Watch the demo video carefully to understand the required functionality (output) of program. Your program should work as per functionality performing in demo video file. You do not need to send text file with your solution. Just upload .cpp file from your LMS account. For any query related to assignment no. 3 contact us at [e-mail].

Submission

You are required to submit your solution C++ program through LMS i.e. .cpp file.

Important: Related to Assignment 03 Dated: Jul 06, 15
Dear students,

I hope you are doing well. This announcement is related to the key generation process in assignment no. 3. Here is a sample program in which we are using the simplest technique to generate the security key. You may copy and paste it into your Dev C++, and can see the results by entering any string. For example, We are Muslims.

#include

#include

using namespace std;

main() {

char data[1000]; // array to hold string entered from user

int securitykey = 0; // variable to hold generated security key

cout"Input any string as data: "; cin.getline(data,1000, '\n'); // getline function allows to enter space between words while getting input from user. for (int i = 0; data[i] != '\0'; i++){ // iterate through array unless reached at "null character" securitykey += (int)data[i]; // converting each character in array to ASCII code and adding in securitykey } cout"Security Key: "/p>

Note:

We have been using arrays to store characters; students are not bound to use the same technique. They might use any technique of their own for the desired output.

Good Luck!

. Here is a sample program in which we are using the simplest technique to generate the security key. You may copy and paste it into your Dev C++, and can see the results by entering any string. For example, We are Muslims.

#include <iostream>

#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

main() {

                char data[1000];  // array to hold string entered from user

                int securitykey = 0; // variable to hold generated security key    

                cout"Input any string as data: ";

                cin.getline(data,1000, '\n'); // getline function allows to enter space between words while getting input from user.               

                for (int i = 0; data[i] != '\0'; i++){ // iterate through array unless reached at "null character"

                                securitykey += (int)data[i];  // converting each character in array to ASCII code and adding in securitykey

                }             

                cout"Security Key: "securitykey;  // printing security key on console

                system("pause");

}

The mechanism is so simple, ASCII code of each character is generated and added up into a variable named ‘securitykey’ using the statement:  securitykey += (int)data[i]; (int) has been converting the character into it's ASCII code.

 Note: 

         We have been using arrays to store characters; students are not bound to use the same technique. They might use any technique of their own for the desired output.
