against data theft is through the implementation of data encryption. And one data encryption product currently available for Windows users, is BitLocker™ BitLocker™ Drive Encryption is a proprietary cryptography tool designed by Microsoft to provide enhanced data protection through The encryption of entire disk drives. This includes the Operating System, user files, system files, swap files and hibernation files. BitLocker provides encryption support for portable hard drives and flash drives aptly
supplies their instruments at an attractive price (Eoghan, 2004, p. 74). Suppliers and collecting agencies should understand that present technology has removable storage devices where information can be stored and cannot be retrieved in the hard disks (Eoghan & Gerasimos, 2008, p. 93). There are also malwares that can be stored in the RAM and cannot be traced in the hard drives meaning that instruments and the strategies for collecting information should be fashioned in a way that can out do the
computer. All general purpose computers require an operating system in order to run other programs. The Operating system performs essential basic tasks such as recognizing input from the keyboard, keeping track of files and their directories on the disk, the sending output to the display screen and the controlling of peripheral devices such as keyboards and printers. How Operating Systems work Multi-user It allows two or more users to run programs at the same time. Some Operating systems permit hundreds

World War II Encryption - The Enigma Machine The Enigma machine is an advanced electro-mechanical cipher machine invented by a German, Arthur Scherbius, at the end of World War I. Its only function was to encrypt and decrypt messages. It was used by all of the branches of the German military as the main device to secure wireless communications until the end of World War II. The use of the Enigma machine was an important part of World War II history. The Enigma machine has a look akin to

Greeks, and wrapping it around a cylinder. The user then proceeds to write the message across the cylinder by placing a letter on each wrap of the paper. This continues until the message is complete. Once complete the paper is unwrapped and the encryption is complete. In order to be decrypted at the other end all that is needed is a cylinder of the same size. (“The Scytale Cipher”, n. d.) The Romans also used ciphers, most notably the Caesar Cipher. The Caesar Cipher is typically a wheel device with

This paper focuses on Database encryption for database security, different methods and levels of database encryption and its advantages over other methods of data protection. It also discusses on the performance issues associated with data encryption and best practices to minimize the performance over head on the database server due to encryption. 2.

magazines, encyclopedias, letter’s etc. The electronic medium that they are created, transmitted and stored on can be on magnetic media disks (standard 3.5-inch disk,) digitally on the Internet or on other electronic forms such as CD-ROM and DVD technology. These are two of the most frequently used as they can digitally store thousands of pages of information on a compact disk. Electronic publishing has made work easier for millions of people around the world as they can have millions of pages of information
Introduction The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, is a law designed “to improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage in the group and individual markets, to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and health care delivery, to promote the use of medical savings accounts, to improve access to long-term care services and coverage, to simplify the administration of health insurance, and for other purposes.”1 HIPAA mandates that covered
introduced were these big towers of switches, transistors, and buttons. These old computers took up so much power, but had such little specifications. The first Macintosh ever made had a whopping 128kilobytes of random-access memory and the floppy disk inside the computer would not be able to even hold one song in today’s era. Researchers and scientists are in the same predicament like we were back in the early 1950’s after World War II to build the first computer. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacture
USB flash drives offer you an alternative to cloud-based storage solutions. These small, finger-sized devices let you back up a hard drive, access files if your internet connection goes down and store information in a compact medium. Here?s a basic guide to some of the fastest and best USB 3.0 flash drives made today. How to Buy a USB Flash Drive In general, the type of flash drive you purchase depends on the files you want to save. If you need a flash drive just for transferring word processing
over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link that enables any device to interact with any other on the network. LANs commonly include microcomputers and shared (often expensive) resources such as laser printers and large hard disks. Most (modern) LANs can support a wide variety of computers and other devices. Each device must use the proper physical and data-link protocols for the particular LAN, and all devices that want to communicate with each other on the LAN must use the
Remote Control Software Used in a Local Area Network Introduction Remote control software can solve many of the problems that an administrator or user can encounter on a local area network. Using a remote-control program, one can access a PC remotely to exchange files between systems, run applications, take control of a client PC or server in order to troubleshoot a problem, and much more. Remote-control software is an application that you install on two PCs that permits one system (the guest)
Flash Drives and Optical Storage Flash drives and Optical Storage are quick and easy ways to transfer data, and with all the technology that has been introduced over the years, these have many uses. There compact, portable, and very useful in many situations. To help understand these two topics more in depth, I will be explaining what they are, how they are used, and many other details. First, I will be explaining flash drives. Flash drives are a data storage device that includes flash memory with
on PCs. Then the floppy disk arrived on the storage scene. Originally they were designed to replace the tape drives on computer systems. Tape drives are still used today for the back-up of data. Floppy disk started out almost the size of a piece of paper, eight inches (Watson, 2010). They were quite large. Over time, the floppy disk reduced in time. They went from eight inches to 5.25 inches then finally down to 3.5 inches. The amount of data stored on a floppy disk was small compared to today’s
access to the entire system, not just the files on the system. Firewalls prevent access to data by using symmetric or asymmetric encryption. Symmetric encryption uses the same password to decrypt the data that it does to encrypt the data. This method allows users to be able to share the same password to gain access to the data and make any needed changes. Asymmetric encryption is different in that there are different passwords used to encrypt the data and decrypt the data. Asymmetric is considered a
company can increase their existing storage capacity and capabilities. As long as the company has access to the cloud, they will be able to use all the applications in the server. The company does not need to incur additional cost to buy more hard disk or other local storage devices. Additionally, the company can save on expenditure for new infrastructure, licensing of new software or training new personals to meet the IT needs of the company. As the cloud system is self-service provision, the company
ongoing court battle between the Motion Picture Association of America, supported by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and various defendants regarding the DeCSS program and its source code. DeCSS is a utility that allows the circumvention of the encryption built into most DVDs. Specifically, the paper examines the implications of the court decision on a range of issues including source code as free speech, HTML linking, and fair use. In 1998, the United States Congress passed the Digital Millennium
phishing attacks on specific individuals within the organization; attacks on outside companies such as Twitter or Facebook that might provide passwords and other information about a company’s users; and pirates hacking into encryption codes for pay TV signals V or DVD disks. Governments and well-funded organized crime group crime groups are increasingly involved in the attacks, but some of most successful threats are low-tech tactics to steal passwords.
