According to Cate (2008, p.8) the most rife reason for breach warning is the need to protect the personal information and confidentiality from use in identity forgery. Identity forgery include that one person pretend to be another for many reasons to gaining some benefit, such as: open a savings account or credit account, work on taking a loan from the bank using a false name, or writing a check to a specific or sue someone, or even claiming to be someone else to get enrich.
Moreover, by looking for the wide ranges of crimes of personal identity and identity forgery or the term "identity theft” which usually considered a common crime but scary, and one that defence lawyer of breach warning laws appear to believe is ease by security breaches. Breach warning are important tool for warning people whose data have been involved in a breach to be especially careful for signs of identity forgery .
Depending on the recommended cryptography system, this section defines the security requirements that must be satisfied by cryptographic modules conform to the standard. The areas that are related to the design and implementation of cryptographic unit that consists of a basic design, documentation, and management of key

The general rating should point to two major points, first: the minimum of the independent ratings customary in the areas with levels, and second: achievement of all the requirements in the other areas. Several areas provide with cumulative security requirements for each security level for increasing levels of safety. Also, the module should have a rating that reflects the maximum-security level for which the module achieves all of the requirements of area. Furthermore, a cryptographic module shall also have a general rating additionally to having independent ratings for each of the security areas (Brown, 1994,
Now-a-day, biometric authentication system or simply biometric system, offers a reliable and user-friendly solution to the problem of identity management by establishing the identity of an individual based on “who the person is”, rather than the knowledge-based i.e. “what the person knows" or token-based i.e. “what the person carries” (Jain et al., 1999). The word biometrics is derived from the Greek words bios (meaning life) and metron (meaning measurement); biometric identifiers are measurements from living human body (Maltoni et al., 2003). Biometric system refers to automatically identify or verify an individual's identity based on his physiological characteristics (e.g. fingerprints, face, iris and hand geometry) and behavioral characteristics (e.g. gait, voice and signature) (Figure 2.1). Ancillary characteristics (also known as soft biometric) such as gender, ethnicity, age, eye color, skin color, scars and tatoos also provide some information about the identity of a person. However, soft biometric traits do not provide sufficient evidence to precisely determine the identity (Jain et al., 2004a). Biometric traits provide a unique and permanent binding between an individual and his identity. This “binding" cannot be easily lost, forgotten, shared or forged and free from making false repudiation claims. Biometrics offers several advantages over conventional security measures. These include
A number of high profile organisations have been subjected to great reputational damage resulting from a proliferation of personal information breaches (Protecting Personal Information, 2010). Organisations have made substantial use of their customer's personal information without doing much to protect the information. Organisation's collecting personal information have had little impetus to consider the best privacy protection solutions and people have not done anything drastic to initiate such action (Loss of privacy is price one pays to live in online world, 2011). It may take strong government regulation to propel organisations in this direction (Loss of privacy is price one pays to live in online world, 2011) leading to the pending implementation of the Protection of Personal Information Bill (POPI) (POPI: Threat or opportunity, 2010:22) in South Africa.
Biometric and encryption sounds are not too fresh, for most users, any of each technology alone is not enough to make you feel excitement. However, If we develop a new study or a new technology, which combine the biometrics and encryption. We can find that the technology combining these two techniques are very amazing.
The idea of a technique that can help people seek the truth has been around since 1878 thanks to the work of Angelo Mosso. It was not until later on that the polygraph was modified and used in conjunction with law enforcements. The polygraph was first used in 1895 and later on modified to modern technology and computerize around 1992. Polygraph has been around for centuries but is still an inconsistent technique and grounds for errors at court. The polygraph can cause the case in court to be grounds for dismissal and well as a mistrial. The polygraph also crosses the line within the Constitution specifically the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments by violating the due process and the self-incrimination guarantees which are part on these
The issue of privacy breaching relates to the legal environment of business because every company and business holds information about its employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. On top of all the information they store on other people, most companies have all their own business information kept on computers and files as well. If there were to be a breach in a company then all of the information they had stored in their systems could be stolen and sold to others. There would be major identity theft, social security fraud and even financial losses. Security breaches have become a significant risk for most businesses today. Security breaches can disrupt business operations, damage brand reputation and customer relationships, and attract government investigations and class action lawsuits.
People who commit identity fraud have their specific techniques they use to gain access to private information. Unfortunately, sometimes we make it easy for them to obtain our information. For example, did you know that when you make a credit card purchase many receipts contain your credit card number? If that slip of paper gets into the wrong hands, some unscrupulous person now has access to your bank
This essay will be examining why nursing students need to demonstrate a high level of honesty and academic integrity in there work. The discussion for this essay will look at why academic honesty and integrity is so important, what is considered academic dishonesty and how can it be managed; and how this can effect clinical situations.
The report in this proposal would consist of literature survey which would explain similar kinds of devices or security mechanisms, then theory related with this solution would be provided, high-level design, and detailed action plan would be provided in the end. This would be followed by a brief discussion on the solution provided and then requirements of facilities and materials would be provided in the end. This is important to note that this is the proposal and in this proposal, the suggestion of business
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in both the US and abroad. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that identity theft costs consumers as much as $50 billion annually and that this number will likely keep growing (Finklea, 2010, p. 1). Additionally, the FTC receives in excess 250,000 consumer complaints of identity theft each year and this is believed to be only a fraction of the total number of victims (Finklea, 2010, p. 9). There are several types and methods of identity theft and these methods continue to increase as technology becomes increasingly sophisticated. Understanding the types and methods of identity theft can reduce potential victimization.
This project must meet the requirements of DoD security policies and standards for delivery of the technology services. The first requirement we are to discuss is Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) which is a United States legislation that defines a comprehensive framework to protect government information, operations and assets against natural or man-made threats. FISMA assigned the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the responsibility of defining standards and security procedures to be followed and must be complied. There are nine processes NIST outlines to be in compliance with FISMA:
What was intended to be fun and humorous could have turned tragic in the case of the stolen wallet. Allen Woodmen, penend the story of an elderly man, who kept losing his wallet to pickpockets, and the elaborate scheme this father/son duo who seems to have a caring and loving relationship, came up with to catch this thief, was this a brilliant idea? Join me as I unfold and examine this courageous plot in catching a serial pickpocket. I would like to start off by examining the brilliantness of their plot to catch this thief, the father and son concocted a plan to make a phony wallet. Question, can you spot a phony wallet if not told it is?
Authenticity within the culture of popular music is an issue that has been discussed for many years as it can be a huge selling point, it can cause society to either loathe or love a performing artist on how 'authentic' their persona and music is. Moore (2002) brings forward this idea in the article ‘Authenticity as Authentication’:
Identity theft is a non ethical criminal offence. It is when someone gathers someone’s personal information and uses it against them. Fraudsters usually get a hold of personal information using three methods: information given away, offline methods and online methods. People commit this crime for many different reasons, but they all have one common goal of using some else’s identity to their advantage. There are many different type of identity thefts, which are categorized on what the criminal is using the identity for. Having said all of this, identity is a crime that can cause a lot of finical and reputation damage to the victim and that is why it is important to prevent it. Identity theft can be prevented if everybody knows exactly what it is and what they can do to keep their identity safe.
"Honesty is the best policy," is a phrase many people still hear regularly. Most people tell their first lie when they are kids. Telling a lie is an exceptionally strange propensity because naturally everyone knows how to tell one. Mass numbers of individuals lie for various reasons that include the need to provide self-protection, the lie is oblivious to the liar, and to enhance another's feelings.
Polygraph tests are a controversial subject. There accuracy is well debated. It is known that they are not one hundred percent accurate, which is why they are not admissible in all courts. Polygraphs measure physical changes in the body, which are measured and recorded. Some states will allow a polygraph to be taken, as long as both the prosecution and the defendant agree that no matter what it says, the results stand. This means that a person can't agree to take the test and then try to have it thrown out of court because they don't like the results. Lie detectors are used on many reality shows on television such as "The Steve Wilkos Show", or "Maury," where they deal with adultery, child abuse, and many other topics. Even though polygraph tests are not one hundred percent accurate, they can be used as an indicator to whether someone is being truthful or not.
