3. The HTTP protocol is able to transfer files from a remote server to a client. Then, why was FTP
developed? Also explain why FTP follows out-of band signalling against in-band signalling.

50-59 B

40-49 P

<40 F

Further your application should prohibit users from entering invalid values of marks in the client
side page.

using the post method.
8. Describes the type of E-commerce. How does an e-commerce transaction take place during a
purchase? Describe the steps. [2+3 Points]
9. What is the difference between asymmetric key cryptography and symmetric key cryptography? The
symmetric key cryptography fails where there is a trust deficit between communicating parties
which can be easily addressed by asymmetric key cryptography. Does it mean that the asymmetric
key cryptography will replace the symmetric key cryptography in near future? Justify your answer.
[2+3 Points]
10. What is digital signature? Explain how it is different from the signature done by a person on the
paper. [2+3 Points]
