1 Critically evaluate the information security Properties and attributes
1.1 What is Data Security?
Data security is help protecting data and loss damage , and unauthorised access or modification. Data security is usually understood to availability , integrity and controlling access. Data Security generally available, honestly, and it has been revealed that access and control. Actually Data is raw form of information as columns and rows in databases or personal computers. Data security help to prevent data breaches. It’s means avoid disclosure or leakage of sensitive data mitigate the cost of a data breach. And also data security help ensure data

CIA triads very important for the identification of data security problem areas and to give solution for that. CIA stand for central intelligence agency. So CIA we van divide three parts. Confidentiality, integrity and availability are categories of CIA. In this assignment I will identified well confidentiality, integrity and availability and real world application of the. So I will try to discuss these three component and example of real world scenario.
1.3.1 Confidentiality
In the context of information security and CIA triad , confidentiality means that information that should stay secret and only those person authorized to access it may receive access . From ancient times, mankind has known that information is power, and in our information age access to information is more important than ever. Unauthorized access to confidential information many have divesting consequences, not only in national security applications, but also in commerce and industry, main mechanism of protection of confidentiality in information systems are cryptography and access control. Examples of threats to confidentiality are malware, intruders social engineering, insecure networks and poorly administered systems. Discussing confidentiality most important thing us cryptography. In this assignment I would like to deeply discuss about cryptography and it

Sender and receiver uses different keys for encryption and decryption namely public and private respectively. The sender and receiver obtain the same encryption and decryption programme. If someone wants to send an encrypted message the first need to generate a public key and a private key with encryption application. Then send that person the public key. Using an asymmetric algorithm and your public key, the sender scabies the message into “cipher text”. They send the cipher text. After run the cipher text through encryption programme, which decodes the message using private key. If want to send a message back, need the sender’s public
Hash is applied to the message and encrypted using the sender’s public key now the encrypted hashed encrypted message and the message is
How we can protect the data in transit in a variety of applications such as data transfer on the Internet, and on cellular phone networks. a) Encryption b) Data mining c) Internet Security d) Decryption Answer:a 2. Which key is used to access the encrypted message? a) Encryption key b) Decryption key c) Primary key d) Foreign key Answer:b 3.
HIPAA Data Breaches When a patient discloses his or her personal information to the medical staff, it is with confidence that the information is secure. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Nowadays, “privacy” is becoming a popular conversation topic. Many people believe that if they do not do anything wrong in the face of technology and security, then they have nothing to hide. Professor Daniel J. Solove of George Washington University Law School, an internationally known expert in privacy law, wrote the article Why Privacy Matters Even if You Have ‘Nothing to Hide’, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education in May of 2011. Solove explains what privacy is and the value of privacy, and he insists that the ‘nothing to hide’ argument is wrong in this article. In the article, “Why Privacy Matters Even if You Have ‘Nothing to Hide’”, Daniel J. Solove uses ethos, pathos, and logos effectively by using strong sources, using
This paper will discuss how to balance out civil liberties and security in intelligence activities; mainly surrounding the topic of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2002. With this topic and its perceived downfalls, identifying how to make both sides work efficiently will be discussed. Discussion When asked the question of “how can the United States balance civil liberties and security in intelligence activities?” the thought of the USA PATRIOT Act comes into mind; for two reasons. The first one is it caused a enormous uproar in the community after it was enacted based upon the fact it was perceived to infringe on civil liberties.
Now focusing on cyber security and communication security which are the following parts that make up the national security. Each one of these parts are responsible for a specific function. Cybercrime is attacking the information systems, sometimes identity theft, but in some cases fraud. By providing insight into causes of cybercrime, its participants their motivations, then we identify some of the major issues dealing with these crimes. With cybercrime being nondiscriminatory, also dramatically increase.
4.1 - Explain the meaning of the term confidentiality Confidentiality is not sharing information about people without their permission. Confidentiality can be maintained by making sure any records of information cannot be accessed by people who are unauthorised. Confidentiality is important and it builds trust and empowers individuals. 4.3 - Describe the potential tension between maintaining an individual’s confidentiality and disclosing
And who enforces the data access controls? (Brown, 2012). Who should be the data owner? The data owner should be able to establish, and uphold, data principals for all users, including executives and board members who have access to data beyond receiving reports from the data. The owner will treat data as an asset to the company, and get others to treat data in the same manner (Khatri & Brown, 2010, p. 150).
Having security basically means that the data is safe from unauthorised or unexpected access, modification or deletion of files. Due to the vast majority of files being stored on a form of electronic device in the modern world, it is the job of the company, in this case Tesda, to ensure that access is limited to certain individuals and that they pose no threat to the company. Although there are many ways of accessing this information illegally, Tesda should concentrate on protecting against the most common types like viruses and system failure etc. Ensuring that there is a backup server is essential as this information is what keeps the business running and losing it will have a massive impact on them. Within Tesda, it will be the role of the management to assess who should and shouldn’t be granted access to particular bits of information and whether or not they will have it as read only or being able to edit the document.
The encryption key (public key) does not have to be secret and anyone can use it to encrypt data. However, the corresponding decrypted key (private key) is known to a single entity that can decrypt data encrypted with the encryption key. When we need to send an encrypted message to someone else, we first obtain the person’s public encryption key and transform the message with it. Only the recipient knows the corresponding private key. The recipient can decrypt the message.
For operational purposes, the company collects and stores confidential information about their customers, employees, suppliers, and vendors. For purposes of their rewards program, the company collects sensitive and confidential consumer information. Although security measures and information technology systems have been put in place to ensure secure transmission and storage of confidential information, security breaches, computer viruses, or even human error can occur. Any of these events could cause data to be lost or stolen, as well as disclosed and used with malicious intent. Such occurrence could lead to litigation, fines, increased security costs, and damage to
It is not so easy to guess or interrupt both public key and private key as well as to gain access to the information. In the asymmetric key encryption, all the recipients have their public key and sender has its own private key, which is kept secret from everyone. Symmetric key encryption is also known as private key encryption. A single key is used to encrypt and decrypt the plain text. Private Key makes the encryption process faster.
Technology is growing at a fast pace and every day we see a new product or service that is available. Many times it is hard to even keep up with the latest phone, computer, game console, or software. There are so many different gadgets to choose from and even the internet is on information overload. As a result, we can no longer truly expect to have privacy.
"While the Internet-based economy provides many benefits, it also raises new concerns for maintaining the privacy of information. “Internet privacy is the privacy and security level of personal data published via the Internet. It is a broad term that refers to a variety of factors, techniques and technologies used to protect sensitive and private data, communications, and preferences.â€[1] As the federal government’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)[2] explains: Every day, billions of people around the world use the Internet to share ideas, conduct financial transactions, and keep in touch with family, friends, and colleagues. Users send and store personal medical data, business communications, and even intimate conversations over this global network.
