Thank you for assisting me. Attached to this order is a example of a previous student project (Virtual Currency Applicability Report and Recommendations) and lecture notes to assist you. Please create the spreadsheet and the two page essay using APA 7.
Instructions:
Develop a spreadsheet that will be used to gather your research. In the first column, list Bitcoin and other virtual currency options available, if any. In column 2, list the corresponding encryption method for that specific virtual currency. In column 3, assess what characteristics or cybersecurity technologies used by that virtual currency that makes it unique. Make a fourth column in the spreadsheet for policy constraints and document the findings.
Lastly, In the previous step, you identified the technological elements of virtualization and cloud computing, and now it’s time to fully assess the inherent policy issues and challenges of these cybersecurity technologies. Discuss core concepts and developments in cryptography and cryptanalysis for the benefit of your financial audience from a cyber perspective and the financial implications of virtual currency. Also, consider information assurance needs for the business.
Provide a two- to three-page summary of the findings thus far and an overall assessment of virtual currencies, the encryption technology, and the subsequent policy issues that might arise.
Submit the Virtual Currency Overview, along with the spreadsheet of the recorded findings, as an addendum.

Overview
In this activity, you will compare the end user experience based on
the system functionality of two retailers. An example of system
functionality is in-stock notifications. When you are shopping on
Target’s site, you select your item, along with size and color. You
immediately see if the item is in stock. If it is not, the shopping cart
page provides an option to email you when the item is back in stock. On
another site (for example, Walmart), the shopping cart page tells you
if the item is not in stock; however, it does not give you the
opportunity to receive notifications when it is back in stock. In both
scenarios, as an IT professional, you need to evaluate the system
functionality through the lens of the end user.
Prompt
You are concerned with the end user experience. When you visit a
website or use the app for a an e-retailer, what are you requirements
for that website or app? Are you interested in how fast the pages load?
Can you compare items? Are these features important to you, and will you
continue to use a website that does not meet these requirements? That
experience will trigger a return visit to the site based on the most
expeditious purchasing experience, variety of items available, quantity
of items available, and quickest delivery method. In this activity, you
will locate two online retailers and compare them for ease of use as a
consumer. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO MAKE A PURCHASE. You will be searching
inventory, examining purchasing and shipping options, and reviewing
return policies. You will provide a description of your experience and
compare the retailers’ purchasing processes.
In your comparison, you will include a table that addresses the
following processes, along with a detailed narrative explanation of
which retailer has the best system ease of use:
Inventory process (Are you able to locate the item you wanted? Are you able to compare it to similar items?)
Purchasing process (Can you add the item to your cart? Are there multiple payment options available?)
Shipping process (How quickly will items be ready to ship?)
Return policies (How convenient is it to return an item?)
What to Submit
Upload a Word document including your comparison table and your brief
(1 page) narrative explanation of which retailer has the best system
ease of use.

Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Journals are private and between you and the instructor only.
Approach these activities as an opportunity to reflect upon and apply
what you learn each week based on the assigned readings, discussions,
and activities. As a successful professional, you will need good
reflective and writing skills. Journal activities offer you the
opportunity to develop these skills further. The journal entries in this
course are graded separately.
Prompt
First, complete the assigned readings for the week. Then read the
journal prompt and write a reflection. Your journal entry should be two
paragraphs long and address the prompt provided in each module.
In your response, be certain to address the following critical elements:
Critical Thinking and Reflection: Support the claims with relevant examples of previous and logical thought processes.
Integration and Application: Show excellent depth of knowledge of the module content and exhibit careful consideration of the topic.
Voice: Write in a style that is appealing and
appropriate for the intended audience and use a consistent voice that is
evident throughout.
What to Submit
Submit journal assignments as Word documents with double spacing,
12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Responses should be
at least two paragraphs long and address the points indicated in the
journal prompt for each module.
