A security system for a building has three ways of detecting an intruder. 1. Security camera (SC) which sends a 1 when an intruder is detected. 2. Motion sensor (MS) which sends a 0 when an intruder is detected. 3. Noise level detector (NLD) which sends a 1 when the noise level rises beyond a certain threshold. The system should work such that the alarm should sound when • SC doesn’t detect an intruder but the MS and the NLD do • Neither SC nor the MS detects but the NLD does • SC and the MS detect but NLD doesn’t • SC detects only • SC and NLD detect but MS doesn’t However, it has been observed, that when the NLD is off, the system does not sound an alarm even if the SC and MS detect an intruder. Analyze the circuit for the problem and fix it. For the above circuit 1. Construct a Truth table of the current system and analyze, the issue. 2. Construct a Truth Table for the modified (fixed) system.
We will consider three variables S M and N to represent Detected outputs of Security Camera, Motion sensor and Noise level detector respectively. As per the given instruction, the variables will get logical values as given below.
The system should work such that the alarm should sound when:
So for either of the above five condition, the output for alarm (A) should be actuvated. So we need to logically OR the different products terms as given below.
Based on the above expression, we can create a truth table as given below.
But as per the given information, the existing system does not
sound an alarm, when noise level detector is off even if security
camera and motion sensor detects the intruder. That means when S =
1 and M = 0 and N = 0 the system does not sound the Alarm
(
= 0). This product term is missing from the Alarm ouput signal
(Ae). i.e, the existing system output equation is given
by
The truth table for the existing system is given below.
We can combine both truthtable to one as given below
The absence of the term
in the existing system is the cause of error. It has been
fixed.

1. (25 pts) A home security system is equipped with three motion sensors that will trigger an alarm whenever any sensor detects movement around the house. Suppose that in the event of an unauthorized entry each sensor has a 99% chance of detecting movement independently of the other sensors. a) Find the probability that the alarm will be turned on in the event of an unauthorized entry. b) Find the probability that all three sensors will detect movement around the...
Risk management in Information Security today Everyday information security professionals are bombarded with marketing messages around risk and threat management, fostering an environment in which objectives seem clear: manage risk, manage threat, stop attacks, identify attackers. These objectives aren't wrong, but they are fundamentally misleading.In this session we'll examine the state of the information security industry in order to understand how the current climate fails to address the true needs of the business. We'll use those lessons as a foundation...
