<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Because of the bit about the videos and financial details, I assume they are trying to ask something like “The most secure technology for staff to efficiently

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">However, that is not going to allow them to transfer files between all of the offices, it’s going to need to go onto the Internet at some point. So coaxial cable
inside the offices is going to be slow, but a bit more secure than wireless (they haven’t said the wireless is secured) and a website closed with a closed section is going to allow the financials to be transferred…… but again, is doesn’t secure the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">My initial thought would be Input mask, however, I’ve had a couple of students that used the logic from the SoftDev part of the study design “</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:TimesNewRomanPSMT">validation
techniques, including existence checking, range checking and type checking” </span>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">to limit what they define as validation techniques. Therefore, they’ve worked on the theory of getting the String Length of the phone number and using a range check on that to keep
it to 10 digits. I don’t think it’s the best answer, but would it still be valid?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
