An operating system is the software that supports a computer’s most basic functions, such as scheduling the upcoming tasks, executing a myriad of applications, and controlling peripherals. It is the most important software that runs a computer. The operating system manages the computer’s memory and processes, it’s software and hardware. It translates
commercial, the security of your property is of prime importance for you. You get a shock of your life, if a burglar is able to gain entry into your property and wreak havoc. All it takes for the burglar is few hours to steal what must have taken years for you to build. You cannot afford to be lax at all and this includes all types of locks and other related security systems. But many times, while focusing on the high end security systems you may forget few basic security systems that play an equally
Security is gaining awareness and importance in recent years. And the access control system form a vital link in the security chain at present there are many security system available in the market but the paper proposed here is an economical electronic system. The consumption of low operating power, flexible and user friendly mechanical designs are the merits of this project the paper presents the technology of authorized access system by using 89c51 microcontroller and it has an added advantage
software and the data that resides in and among computer systems must be protected against security threats that exploit vulnerabilities. Organizations must therefore impose appropriate controls to monitor for, deter and prevent security breaches. Three areas have been considered, in a typical sense, as the basic critical security requirements for data protection: confidentiality is used to assure privacy; principles of integrity assure systems are changed in accordance with authorized practices; and
Payment Systems & Security From PayPal to Debit cards, from EFT to Credit cards, this modern world has been inundated with new ways of making business transactions. Instead of the conventional use of dollars and nickels, now there are electronic payment systems. These types of systems allow for better trust and acceptance between consumer and businesses. In the traditional way of buying a product, one would see a product in person, and pay for it with cash or credit. In e-commerce, the business

Background Security management within the context of information systems “needs a paradigm shift in order to successfully protect information assets” (Eloff & Eloff, 2003). Due the rapid increase in information security threats, security management measures have been taken to proactively remedy the growing threat facing information security. As a result of this, security management “is becoming more complex everyday, many organization’s security systems are failing, with serious results” (Fumey-Nassah
1.0 Introduction Nowadays, information can be classified as valuable than gold because of the effectiveness evidence rather than nonsense word. According to the authors, security is to combine systems, operations and internal controls to ensure the integrity and confidentially of data and operation procedures in an organizations. To ensure the information is under control, IT specialist was created. Many people can access internet without any specific requirement, so plagiarism and steal other information
Research Proposal on Canada’s current system of airport security Canada’s airport security is more than just safety from terrorism. It is techniques and procedures that are used to protect passengers, staff and airlines from unintended/malevolent harm, crime and other threats. These techniques and procedures can deal with insubordination which can result in delays, penalties, seizures and refusing of entry. The most recent and in relation to issues of insubordination is the risk to terrorists
select few (Murphy, 2015). ISO 27001: Information Security Management System: This standard helps organizations implement security as a system versus numerous controls put in place to solve seemingly isolated issues. The standard includes handling of electronic information as well as paper-based information. From the management perspective, this standard, main contribution is to formalize the concept of risk assessments and organize information security as a quality improvement activity. The standard
access to a building or area and it can be achieved by different means of physical security. Magnetic access control card system is one of the many ways of restricting access to a building or area. According to Oke et al. (2009), magnetic access control systems are used to control entry to a room or building and were developed to reduce prodigious amount of theft and fraud. Magnetic access control card security systems use smart cards which are small plastic cards made out of Polyvinyl Chloride incorporating
The main aim of this paper is to study the concept of cloud computing through virtualization, how security is compromised in cloud computing and how we can secure the system from security breach in case of virtualization. Keywords: cloud computing, Hypervisor, Virtual machine, Virtualization Security. 1. INTRODUCTION Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications,
organization’s purpose. Every organization should have database security to secure the information of the organization. Database Security Database security is to prevent unauthorized users to access the company's database. This will increase the difficulty to access through it, for example security software features are:- • Authorization rules o This authorization rules is to monitor every deal in the database. It is also part of the database management system. Data access is restricted for authorized users only
graphical operating system that was developed by Microsoft. Microsoft has designed and developed a series of these operating systems since they opened shop. Since Microsoft began developing operating systems they have grown remarkably in terms of usability, graphical interface, speed, and most importantly security. In this paper we are going to take a closer look at the security features that are built in the latest windows operating system which is the Windows 8 operating system. We will also discuss
Personal Electronic Home Room Security System-Bot Question: Is it possible to create a personal electronic home room security system with Lego’s Mindstorm kit? Hypothesis: If I use the Lego’s Mindstorm kit, I hypothesize that any type of security system is possible with legos because the freedom of using as many RCX blocks as possible allows room for larger and more complex robots, though the program NQC does have some limits to it. Background Research: Ever since the beginning of civilization
4.1 Classical Encipher Techniques For the purpose of sending secret messages there was introduced encryption. As encryption get developed few technique were standardized. They are; Substitution cipher Transposition cipher Product cipher 4.1.1 Substitution cipher Replacing each element of the plaintext into another element is called as substitution cipher. The most famouse is the Ceaser cipher which was invented by Julius Ceaser. Each letter is replaced by the letter three positions further down
Introduction Every day people are visiting airport to board a plane. To get into the airplane, people have to pass the airport security system. The airport security system will check the people and their stuff that they bring such as luggage and bag. The checker can be security guard, people detector machine, baggage scanner machine, dog and CCTV. It aims is to avoid the passengers from the contrabands or dangerous object such as drugs/illegal drugs, bomb, dangerous chemical materials, firearm weapon
Residential security systems are becoming an essential element of your property home improvement. There once was a time where such systems were considered an extravagance, only meant for the rich and famous. It was a suggestion of your wealth and all important people in residence had to have one. Today, things are so much different. Such security systems are not only cheaper but far more technologically advanced than before. But the main difference today is that you need to have some sort of residential
government still has their own wicked methods of controlling and monitoring American society. Modern technology has just helped accomplish this feat. Caminiti explains how everything acts as a monitoring tool, from the Internet to the Social Security System, and even ID cards for schools and college campuses. "Our government is taking steps towards this type of Orwellian society all the time." He realizes. Jason Caminiti is right. 1984 is not just some nondescript science fiction novel, but a
high-tech security systems to protect their houses from being burgled. With S.S.I.A.’s still maturing at the moment, electronic gates, high fences, motion sensors and C.C.T.V. cameras in particular are popping up in communities around the country. These systems are installed to deter thieves from entering people’s homes but home-owners don’t seem to realise that by having such high security, they are literally telling people that they have something to protect. Apart from this, these systems also have
