have been around since decades ago. In fact, when the Altair BASIC was first introduced in 1975, the Homebrew Computer Club (a computer hobbyists club) member made unauthorized copies of Altair basic software and distributed them at the club meeting. At that time, MITS Company licensed the software from “Micro-soft” (now Microsoft). Although MITS has been selling thousand computers a month, Micro-Soft wasn’t getting much royalty fees since basic copies have been distributed illegally. This

1 INTRODUCTION User authentication is a most important component in most computer security. It provides user with access control and user accountability. As we know there are many types of user authentication systems in the market but alphanumerical username/passwords are the most common type of user authentication. They are many and easy to implement and use. Due to the limitation of human memory, most users tend to choose short or simple passwords which are easy to remember. Surveys show that

The academic disciplines of computer security and information assurance emerged along with numerous professional organizations – all sharing the common goals of ensuring the security and reliability of information systems. ROT5 is a practice similar to ROT13 that applies to numeric digits (0 to 9). ROT13 and ROT5 can be used together in the same message. ROT47 is a derivative of ROT13 which, in addition to scrambling the basic letters, also treats numbers and common symbols. Instead of using the

Introduction As global security continues to grow exponentially in response to threats of cyber terrorism, the field of computer security continues to proliferate into many adjacent socioeconomic and technologically-based areas of society. Gartner Group, a leading market research in the enterprise IT industry, has stated that the worldwide market for security software will reach $21B in 2011, rising to $15.8B in 2015 (Karjalainen, Siponen, 2011). This rapid growth of computer security is also driving the

Generally, computer network security systems and structures considered robust are preceded not by software and hardware but by careful planning. A typical computer network security plan must take into consideration a wide range of security risks and vulnerabilities and from that, develop a road map to reduce such exposure. Given the need to protect the integrity and confidentiality of data as well as other system quality attributes, the need to mitigate exposure cannot be overstated. Security Risks

constantly looking for new, ingenious, and assistive applications for the technology. Having conquered typical computers, phones, cars, cameras, and notebooks, companies are experimenting with injecting processing chips into everyday objects and with connecting those objects to the internet. The term for this

Computer Security: Corporate Security Documentation Suitable for a Large Corporation Acceptable Use Policy for Information Technology in the organization ensures that there are no retractions imposed that are contrary to the organizational culture of openness, integrity and trust.

The security of an organization’s computer networks play a critical role in modern computer systems. In order to have high protection levels against malicious attacks, a number of software tools have been developed. Intrusion Detection Systems have recently become an important research topic due to its capability of detecting and preventing attacks from malicious network users. Security incidents are increasing at an incredible rate every year. As the complexity of the threats increase, so do the

4th hour April 8, 2015 The Basic Internet and Its Security What is the basic internet and how do you make it safe? Most people in the world have a computer but do not know what makes a computer a computer. Most people do not even know what device would qualify as a computer. The computer is an important part of the twenty-first century. The responsibility of computer users goes beyond internet access. The computer has basic internet and security that is needed to be followed. The internet guarantees
