Exercise 10

Suppose a program to print paychecks secretly leaks a list of names of employees earning more than a certain amount each month. What controls could be instituted to limit the vulnerability of this leakage?

Step 1 of 2

The software controls could be used for limiting the vulnerability of the leakage of employee names.

• Screen all the outputs produced by the program.

• Divide the program into two halves so that one team code one half of the program and another team code another half of the program. Also allow each team to process one half of the input each month.
