Explanation of Solution
File sharing using BitTorrent:
BitTorrent:
A communication protocol for peer to peer file sharing which is used to distribute data and electronic files over the internet.
P2P Files sharing application stands for Peer to Peer file sharing applications which use P2P file transfer protocol to allow users to access and share media files using peer to peer networking technology.
Let’s a new peer Alice joins BitTorrent without processing any chunks. Also, without any chunks, Alice cannot become a top four uploader for any other peers as she was nothing to upload...

Take a new peer Alice that enters BitTorrent without chunks. Because she has little to post, she can't become a top four uploader with all of the other peers without chunks. How's Alice going to have her first chunk?
Consider a new colleague.Alice who joins BitTorrent but does not have any piecesShe can't become a top-four uploader for any of the other peers if she doesn't have any chunks to post.So, how will Alice receive her first bite?
In the BitTorrent P2P file distribution protocol, the seed breaks the file into blocks, and the peers redistribute the blocks to each other. Without any protection, an attacker can easily wreak havoc in a torrent by masquerading as a benevolent peer and sending bogus blocks to a small subset of peers in the torrent. These unsuspecting peers then redistribute the bogus blocks to other peers, which in turn redistribute the bogus blocks to even more peers. Thus, it is critical for BitTorrent to have a mechanism that allows a peer to verify the integrity of a block, so that it doesn’t redistribute bogus blocks. Assume that when a peer joins a torrent, it initially gets a .torrent file from a fully trusted source. Describe a simple scheme that allows peers to verify the integrity of blocks.

- An underground resistance group wants to write articles with completely differ- ent security goals. The resistance group shared a secret at the last resistance meeting that they can all use for these articles. Here are their goals: Only users with the shared secret should be able to upload to the server. Only users with the shared secret should be able to read the articles. Any changes to the article should still be easily detectable The resistance is paranoid about both quantum computers and any mod- ern encryption algorithms so they want to avoid public key cryptography. They only trust AES (symmetric key encryption) and SHA-256 (crypto- graphic hashing) since these have been around for decades and are resistant to quantum computers.
