I’m studying for my Computer Science class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

For this project, you will solve the problem presented using Figure 7.17 ((Check the attachment) ) located in our text and write a 2-3 page report that includes the following:

Problem: You want to build a hardware device to do block encryption in the cipher block chaining (CBC) mode using an algorithm stronger than DES. 3DES is a good candidate. Figure 7.17 (Check the attachment) shows two possibilities, both of which follow from the definition of CBC. Which of the two would you choose and why:

  1. For security?
  2. For performance?

You must fully explain and support your justification and reasoning.

FULL APA FORMATTING IS REQUIRED!
