writing assignment 1

We will be writing a 1500 word paper for a writing assignment I have to do. I will give you the requirements and what it is about. Based on the material covered in the Individual section of this course, this paper will investigate how to put some of the concepts presented into practice. IT is a highly complex environment, not just from the technology standpoint, but from the need to release software promptly. Applications are critical to keeping a business moving; if the business doesnt move, it does not make money. A business will probably lose customers if the applications are not working for an extended period of time.

What will be covered in this paper are some of the non-technical components in IT that need to be understood and utilized as a plan for a viable and growing business. We will use a model application as the conceptual backdrop to discuss these concepts. For this assignment, we will use an application in the business setting of the Rock Coast Bank. The application is a new mobile app that uses Blockchain as the mechanism to hold critical information about the users information (PII – Personally Identifying Information and possibly SPI – Sensitive Personal Information).

Formatted using APA style. Application Requirements

Rock Coast Bank is creating one of the first mobile banking applications that integrates Blockchain technology into the app to guard against privacy issues and as a mechanism to prevent fraud and theft via the mobile app. This assignment is not to design the app or deal with any of the technical components, but rather to deal with the non-technical components that are required to build this application in a way that limits any legal and ethical exposure.

The application will be called The Rock to portray strength, enhance the Rock Coast brand name in the market, and give it a noun feel that is something people will remember and reference.

The Rock will be built using code in Java, Python, and C, and use React Native for the development framework. In addition, the environment will require the following products:

Openchain

AWS S3 & MySQL

Apache Cordova

ELK stack

Google WebRTC

For each of the sections below, you will need to identify how you would use the specific topic for The Rock. Explain why each topic is necessary, what the implications are if it is not managed, and how that topic would impact the social outcomes down the road.

You must identify what are the elements that could be deemed Intellectual Property in the new mobile application and what needs to be done to protect the IP.
