Medical Identity Theft

someone uses another person's identity or information to obtain credit, goods, services or benefits. This is the most common form of identity theft.

Financial Identity Theft

someone uses a child's identity for various forms of personal gain

Child Identity Theft

is a type of fraud in which a criminal combines real (usually stolen) and fake information to create a new identity, which is used to open fraudulent accounts and make fraudulent purchases

Synthetic Identity Theft

It allows the criminal to steal money from any credit card companies or lenders who extend credit based on the fake identity.

Synthetic Identity Theft

Identity Theft

is a growing industry that keeps track of people's credit reports, financial activity, and social security number use

Identity Theft Protection

Identity thieves increasingly use computer technology to obtain other people's personal information for identity fraud.

High-Tech Identity Theft

"America's fastest growing crime problem"

Identity Theft

One way is to continually check the accuracy of personal documents and promptly deal with any discrepancies.

Identity Theft Protection

In addition, some government agencies and non-profit organizations provide similar assistance, typically with websites that have information and tools to help people avoid, remedy and report incidents of identity theft.

Identity Theft Protection

What is the goal of computer security?

Institute controls that preserve secrecy, integrity and availability.

controls that attempt to prevent exploitation of the vulnerabilities of computing systems

Encryption, Software Controls, Hardware Controls, Overlapping Controls, Periodic Review

The most powerful tool in providing computer security is ______.

coding

It provides secrecy of data.

Encryption

It can also be used to achieve integrity, since data that cannot be read generally also cannot be changed.

Encryption

It is important in protocols.

Encryption

are agreed-upon sequences of actions to accomplish some task

Protocols

These are the 2nd link in computer security and must be secure enough to excuse outside attack. As well as, must be maintained and developed so that one can be confident of the dependability of the programs.

Programs

Kinds of Program Controls

Development Controls, OS Controls, Internal Program Controls

which are standards under which a program is designed, coded, tested, and maintained

Development Controls

which are limitations enforced by the operating system to protect each user from all other users

OS Controls

enforce security restrictions, such as access limitations in a data base management program

Internal Program Controls

These may use tools such as hardware components, encryption or information gathering. These can also generally affect users directly and so these are the 1st aspect in computer security that come to mind. Lastly, these must be DESIGNED.

Software Controls

What are the goals of designed software controls?

Ease of Use, Potency

3 levels of hardware controls

Policies, Physical Controls, Effectiveness of Controls

People using controls must be convinced of the need for security; people will willingly cooperate with security requirements only if they understand why security is appropriate in each specific situation. Many users, however, are unaware of the need for security, especially in situations in which a group has recently undertaken computing task that was previously performed by a central computing department.

Awareness of Problem

Of course, no control is effective unless it is used. The lock on a computer room door does no good if people block the door open. During World War 2 code clerks used outdated codes because they had already learned them and could encode messages rapidly. Unfortunately, the opposite side had already broken some of those codes and could decode those messages easily.

Likelihood of Use

Controls must be used to be effective. They must be efficient, easy to use, and appropriate.

Principle of Effectiveness

This principle implies that computer security controls must be efficient enough, in terms of time, memory space, human activity, or other resources used, so that using the control does not seriously affect the task being protected. Controls should be selective so that they do not exclude legitimate accesses.

Principle of Effectiveness

Several different controls may apply to one exposure.

Overlapping Controls

Few controls are permanently effective. Just when the security specialist finds a way to secure assets against certain kinds of attacks, the opposition doubles its efforts in an effort to defeat the security mechanism. Thus, judging the effectiveness of a control is an ongoing task.
