The basic pillars on which any organization stands are the information security management policies adopted by the organizations and their levels. The system may be built on chaos if the basic parameters of security are not clearly defined. Medium-sized organizations are a major part of global economic activity but the normal information security standards are not feasible for these organizations since they are mainly developed for large organizations. This results in a growing risk for sensitive data security breaches. Thus, there is significant need to combat these security threats. Some of the problems related to security and their solutions are given ...

MMC Certificate Authority
There are various functions related to the certificate authorities and it would be beneficial to discuss about the three most used certificate authorities over here.

Q11. List and discuss 5 areas where threats to data security may occur.

i. The operating system
Hackers may check whether a given operating system has its defult settings intact. Once they realise that the operator has not changed any of the settings, they will find it very easy to launch an attack. A hacker may therefore use the vulnerable OS to transmit sensitive data to some third parties or perform some functions in the system that can easily compromise the security of the data.
ii. Web server
They are responsible for running services that gather user requests and then respond to the requests which are made by users through ...

A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a security based technology to secure information shared over the internet and business networks. PKI involves the methods of software cryptography, hardware, storage, development oriented services, security policies, digital and key management and their distribution. An efficient PIK will always provide in entirety all the required mechanisms for the satisfaction of the fundamentals of confidentiality, integrity examination, non-repudiation and authentication of certification achievable. Therefore, the PIK provides the best platform through which many applications emanate.

Abstract

Finding the correct balance between security, cost effectiveness and ease of use presents a major headache for the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). This is because maintaining a large workforce and clerical staff for the purposes of managing database and internal systems can be a costly practice. MPS staff also require different log in details for the different accounts they hold in different job roles. This paper examines different approaches such as Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and RSA encryption and how they may be utilized in the MPS context.

Remote access protocols

There are many remote access protocols that are used in Windows and, therefore, choosing a remote access protocol is a procedure that is important. The remote access protocol that will be selected will depend on the use of the protocols. When undertaking a plan to configure a remote access network environment, it is important to know what protocols the client, and the server will be using. This will determine the protocols that will be used for authentication, connectivity and encryption. There are two categories of protocols that are used for connectivity. These categories are dial-up and virtual private networking. Each of these categories ...

How RFID technology is developed, adopted, and implemented?

Development
The development of RFID technologies has its origins in the 19th-century discoveries of electronic inductance and electromagnetism. Detection systems such as RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) were precursors to the RFID technology. The paper about the technology behind RFID was presented in 1948. Radio Frequency was used in the IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) systems deployed by the British in World War II.
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) to detect removal of articles without purchasing is in use since the 1960s. The UPC (Universal Product Code, which is a barcode) is the first passive auto-identification system. RFID is an ...
