Case Study-II
The digital divide refers to the gap between demographics and regions that have access
to modern information and communications technology and those that do not have
access. Though the term now encompasses the technical and financial ability to utilise
available technology-along with access (or lack of access) to the internet –– the gap it
refers to is constantly shifting with the development of technology.
Digital inequality is evident between communities living in urban areas and those
living in rural settlements; between socioeconomic groups; between less economically
developed countries and more economically developed countries; between the
educated and uneducated population.
Individuals with access to a broadband connection can be digitally split. There are
numerous types of the digital divide that influence our efforts in accessing the Internet.
Based on the given information, answer the questions 46 to 50.

A software license is a legally binding agreement made between the owner or
developer of a software program and the user, outlining how they can use and
distribute the product. The license is a text document designed to protect the
intellectual property of the software developer and to limit any claims against them
that may arise from its use. The EULA is a contract that establishes the rights of the
purchaser for installing and using the software.
Every EULA contains a clause that stipulates when its conditions are activated by an
end user. Failure to follow the terms and conditions of an open-source license can lead
to revealing trade secrets or even legal action from the project’s developers.
Based on the given information, answer the questions 41 to 45.

Case Study - I
Riya is working in MNC. She needs a software for her new project. Riya wants any software
SAMPLE PAPER 8

for which she has not to pay. Her colleague told Riya about open source software.
Open Source Software (OSS) is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify
and enhance. “Source code” is the part of software that most computer users do not ever
see; it’s the code computer programmers can manipulate to change how a piece of
software-a “program” or “application” works.
Open source software is also sometimes conflated with the free software movement, which
can add to the confusion around whether open source means “free”. The free software
movement grew out of the hacker culture of the 1970s and was formally founded by
Richard Stallman as part of the GNU Project and the non-profit Free Software Foundation.

Case Study-II
Secure data transmission means that data/information is not being received or modified by
an unauthorised person, over a network, from source to destination. For secure data
transmission, we can convert an actual message (which is in readable form) into an
unreadable message (called an encrypted message) with the help of the concept of
encryption. This unreadable message is sent through the network to the destination. If a
hacker tries to read this message, he/she receives an unreadable message that cannot be
easily converted into the actual message. The unreadable message can be converted to the
original message by the receiver at the destination. Caesar Cipher is one of the common
encryption techniques. In this technique, each letter of the word is replaced by a letter some
fixed number of positions (usually called as key) down the alphabet.
For example, if the key is 3, each ‘A’ will be replaced by ‘D’ (Letter ‘D’ is 3 positions down
Letter ‘A’ in the alphabet), each ‘B’ will be replaced by ‘E’ and similarly, each ‘Z’ will be
replaced by ‘C’. The receiver can identify the original message by using the reverse
technique of encryption. This reverse technique is called decryption.
Based on the given information, answer the questions 46 to 50.

46. Secure data transmission means

(a) data can be accessed by any unauthorised person during transmission
(b) data cannot be accessed by any unauthorised person during transmission
(c) transmission of data

(a) Authentication (b) Authorisation

(a) used for conversion of the actual message into an encrypted message
(b) an encryption technique
(c) Both (a) and (b)

Case Study-II
The word plagiarism has come from the Latin word ‘plagiarius’, which means to kidnap.
As the plagiarism definition suggests, when someone uses the work of another artist
without properly citing the source or giving credit, then that will be an instance of
plagiarism. Plagiarism is a punishable offense and it is a form of intellectual theft.
Plagiarism is applicable for writing or website articles, but it is also applicable in stealing
intellectual property like music, images, videos; and even choreography of a dance.
Not everyone who plagiarizes starts out with the goal of stealing someone else’s work.
Sometimes, plagiarism is simply the result of poor planning and a few bad, panicked
decisions. Don’t fall victim to the plagiarism trap.
