  • A Theory on Information Security
    Australasian Conference on Information Systems Horne et al. 2016, Wollongong, Australia A Theory on Information Security A Theory on Information Security Craig A. Horne Department of Computing and Information Systems The University of Melbourne Victoria, Australia Email: [email protected] Atif Ahmad Department of Computing and Information Systems The University of Melbourne Victoria, Australia Email: [email protected] Sean B. Maynard Department of Computing and Information Systems The University of Melbourne Victoria, Australia Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper proposes a theory on information security. We argue that information security is imperfectly understood and aim to bring about an altered understanding of why efforts are made to engage in information security. The goal of information security is widely recognised as the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information however we argue that the goal is actually to simply create resources. This paper responds to calls for more theory in information systems, places the discussion in philosophical context and compares various definitions. It then identifies the key concepts of information security, describes the relationships between these concepts, as well as scope and causal explanations. The paper provides the theoretical base for understanding why information is protected, in addition to theoretical and practical implications and suggestions for future research. Keywords Information security, resources, controls, threats, theory development. 1 Australasian Conference on Information Systems Horne et al. 2016, Wollongong, Australia A Theory on Information Security 1 INTRODUCTION Despite the concept of information security being very well established, the reasons and motivations behind it are imperfectly understood. This paper seeks to explain how and why the phenomena that comprise the concepts of information security occur.

  • Data and Database Security and Controls
    1 Handbook of Information Security Management, Auerbach Publishers, 1993, pages 481-499. DATA AND DATABASE SECURITY AND CONTROLS Ravi S. Sandhu and Sushil Jajodia Center for Secure Information Systems & Department of Information and Software Systems Engineering George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030-4444 Telephone: 703-993-1659 1 Intro duction This chapter discusses the topic of data security and controls, primarily in the context of Database Management Systems DBMSs. The emphasis is on basic principles and mechanisms, which have b een successfully used by practitioners in actual pro ducts and systems. Where appropriate, the limitations of these techniques are also noted. Our discussion fo cuses on principles and general concepts. It is therefore indep endent of any particular pro duct except for section 7 which discusses some pro ducts. In the more detailed considerations we limit ourselves sp eci cally to relational DBMSs. The reader is assumed to be familiar with rudimentary concepts of relational databases and SQL. A brief review of essential concepts is given in the app endix. The chapter b egins with a review of basic security concepts in section 2. This is followed, in section 3, by a discussion of access controls in the current generation of commercially available DBMSs. Section 4 intro duces the problem of multilevel security. It is shown that the techniques of section 3 are inadequate to solve this problem. Additional techniques develop ed for multilevel security are reviewed. Sec- tion 5, discusses the various kinds of inference threats that arise in a database system, and discusses metho ds that have b een develop ed for dealing with them.

  • Information Security Essentials Definition of Information Security
    Computing Services Information Security Office Information Security Essentials Definition of Information Security Information security is the protection of information and systems from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, destruction or disruption. The three objectives of information security are: • Confidentiality • Integrity • Availability Confidentiality Confidentiality refers to the protection of information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Ensuring confidentiality is ensuring that those who are authorized to access information are able to do so and those who are not authorized are prevented from doing so. Integrity Integrity refers to the protection of information from unauthorized modification or destruction. Ensuring integrity is ensuring that information and information systems are accurate, complete and uncorrupted. Availability Availability refers to the protection of information and information systems from unauthorized disruption. Ensuring availability is ensuring timely and reliable access to and use of information and information systems. Information Security Policy Carnegie Mellon has adopted an Information Security Policy as a measure to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of institutional data as well as any information systems that store, process or transmit institutional data. Institutional data is defined as any data that is owned or licensed by the university. Information system is defined as any electronic system that stores, processes or transmits information. Policies • Throughout its lifecycle, all Institutional Data shall be protected in a manner that is considered reasonable and appropriate given the level of sensitivity, value and criticality that the Institutional Data has to the University. • Any Information System that stores, processes or transmits Institutional Data shall be secured in a manner that is considered reasonable and appropriate given the level of sensitivity, value and criticality that the Institutional Data has to the University.

Vol. 7, No. 3, 2019, pp. 82-86. doi: 10.11648/j.jeee.20190703.12 Received : August 18, 2019; Accepted : September 21, 2019; Published : October 9, 2019 Abstract: The author describes computing strategic tasks that are used for ensuring defense and national security, the most important scientific, technical, biomedical and sociology tasks. Most typically, these are capability-based tasks. Supercomputers for their solution are respectively called Technical Capability, i.e. machines of extreme technical capabilities. Machines of this segment are also called High End Computers (HEC), and in our terminology - strategic supercomputers (SCs). Moving to the engineering level, author says that for tasks with good spatio-temporal work with memory, cache memory and schemes for automatically pre-loading data into the cache memory can be effectively used. This can significantly reduce the average memory access time of several hundred processor cycles to fractions of a processor cycle. Such tasks are usually called computational or cache-friendly (cach-friendly) - CF tasks. On tasks with poor spatio-temporal work with memory, the cache memory is useless, so each memory access is hundreds of processor cycles, the processor is idle because of this, and therefore the real performance is in units or even a fraction of a percent of the peak.

  • Analysis of Computer Network Information Security and Protection Strategy
    MATEC Web of Conferences 267, 02013 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201926702013 ISC 2018 Analysis of Computer Network Information Security and Protection Strategy Xiaobo Minga, Ying Chen, Jinhua Guo Shangrao Vocational and Technical College, Jiangxi, Shangrao, 334001 Abstract. Computers are closely related to our life and work. We have entered an era in which computers are not available in all walks of life. Among them, many important documents and materials will be stored in the form of electronic files in the computer. However, computers are not absolutely safe, and cases of information theft occur from time to time. Most people usually keep information confidential in the form of encryption. How to avoid the problem of computer information security. Computer network security involves all aspects. To solve these problems, there are many levels of technology, such as cryptography technology, network security technology and so on. Our country has also done a lot of research on the security protection of computer network technology, and these research results have also achieved certain results in the actual construction of computer network. In order to ensure the normal operation of computer networks, ensure information security and prevent information leakage and theft, a special protection system has been established to ensure the security of computer network information by setting up computer detection, security assessment and other links. However, with the rapid development of science and technology, the updating of electronic products is faster and faster, and the challenge of Wechat for network security information is more severe. How to protect computer network information security needs to be solved urgently, this paper discusses this.
