The topic of this week was taking the knowledge of all the components of technology and learning how to protect it. With certain methods like Cryptography and Steganography, I was able to learn methods to protect the integrity, accuracy and confidentiality of works created by myself and others. However, I learned that security not only depends on methods like this but on people as well and their honesty handling important and private information.
Obviously, it is important to use things like a CAPTCHA to ensure that my website to order these products remains safe and trustworthy! Yet, the tools involving biometrics will probably not be necessary and not be relevant to my entrepreneurial idea or any entities of it. Yet, security methods like identification and authentication will be incorporated in the online buying process and when inserting the created device into the computer.
When it comes to troubleshooting, I could see the company incorporating Cryptography. I know that the health of a computer can be very private and when the information about its health goes on the internet, it could leave the consumer vulnerable to attacks. No computer, as we learned, is ever safe! So if the diagnostic needs better interpretation or help from our customer service maybe cryptography could be used in the exchange of information between the two parties.
