1. Student Assistance Fund (SAF) authorization has a number of steps in its approval process.
A
SAF authorization form is used in most universities to approve funding for students to aid their
studies. Suppose a student fills out a blank form and sends it to his or her departmental
chairperson for a signature. If the amount of funds requested by the student is small (under Tk.
10,000), then the chairperson signs the form and routes it to accounts payable to be input into
the accounting system. The system cuts a check that is sent to the student for the right amount,
and after the check is cashed, the form is filed away with the canceled check. If the check is
not cashed within 30 days, the form expires. When the amount of the requested fund is large
(over Tk. 10,000), the chairperson signs the form and sends it to the chief financial officer
along with a paragraph explaining the reason for the grant, and the chief financial officer will
sign the form and pass it along to accounts payable. Both the chairperson and the chief financial
officer can reject the SAF authorization form if they do not feel that the reasons for seeking
funding are reasonable. In this case, the student can change the form to include more
explanation or decide to pay the entire fee.

2. Company TeaLeaves has recently adopted a new order management system for handling
production requests. The sales representative can place a new order for production. If special
materials are required for producing the new order, then an order is placed for special materials
with the supplier. Otherwise, if no special materials are required for producing the new order
or the supplier has finished providing the special materials, the order is added to the production
list. Afterward, the order is scheduled for production. Once the order is confirmed, a letter is
generated to the sales representative and to the manager.
Draw the activity diagram for the above scenario.
3. The Pentagon is working on a new security protocol to ensure that no one other than no Russian spy can infiltrate
and get access to classified materials. The protocol set is as follows:
1. The user must first enter their password on the password kiosk
2. The password kiosk will send the hash of the password to the basic credentials module (which is a part of
the credentials system) and prompt the user to enter their YubiKey
3. The basic credentials module takes the hash and performs the following simultaneously:
a. It matches the hash against known passwords, and if there is a match, then it gets the user uuid, otherwise
it generates a false uuid
b. It generates a set of random numbers
4. After the uuid and the random numbers are generated, the basic credentials module concatenates them to
create a string and sent back to the password kiosk
5. The password kiosk will then use the YubiKey and the string to generate a hash
6. If the hash is under a specific limit, the user is allowed access, otherwise the user is declined access
Draw the activity diagram
4. Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) are an application of blockchains where the proof of ownership of an asset
is placed on the blockchain network and the owner of the asset has the hash of the block stored in a
digital wallet. First the creator of a NFT collection opens up a crypto wallet and then logs into it, if the
creator already has a wallet, then s/he just logs in. After that, the creator connects his/her wallet to a
marketplace, during the connection process, the marketplace will check if the wallet is already
connected or not, if the wallet was not connected, then the wallet will be added to the database and a
confirmation message will be sent, otherwise just the confirmation message will be sent. After
connecting the wallet, the creator will request to add the NFT collection to the marketplace. The
marketplace will check the collection and generate a minting cost in cryptocurrency and then will check
if the wallet contains sufficient cryptocurrency to mint (add) the collection. If sufficient cryptocurrency
is not present, the request will be denied. If sufficient cryptocurrency is present, then the marketplace
will start the minting process. In the minting process, requests are sent to the blockchain network and
the remote storage network.The blockchain network mines the block and then validates the block, the
remote storage network stores the collection on a server. After both these processes are complete, the
creator is sent a notification of the success.
Construct an Activity diagram from the above scenario.
