Question

One author states that their are five research topics to avoid. These include topics that are too big, too trivial, too difficult, too boring, and ethically dubious. Within the context of CIT, please identify topics that would fit each of these categories. Also, please explain how one would know if a potential topic could fall into one of these categories.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:

Too Big

There are various techniques related to encryption available already so enhancing them will always go through understanding the research done for creating the encryption as well as understanding the encryption which is vast.

Too trivial

For example- One technique is using the private key for encryption then the other technique is using the shared private key for encryption.

Thus it is always trivial to enhance the current one.

Too Difficult

To increase the security of the data, many encryption techniques are made complex so that their decryption without proper keys or unauthorized means.

Thus the encryption techniques enhancement are too difficult.

Too boring

The enhancement in encryption at times is boring as many techniques being similar with minor changes in them.

Thus enhancements making in the encryption techniques is considered as boring.

Ethically dubious

There are so many researches going on with the same topics as well as minor changes in the current technique may make it ethically dubious as other may claim the same work to be theirs.
