Innovation: Information Integrity

Information Integrity

Information Integrity is the trust worthiness and dependability of information. More specifically, it is the accuracy, consistency and reliability of the information content, processes and systems.

A majority of companies today are totally dependent on their information assets, in most cases stored, processed and communicated within information systems in digital format. These information systems are enabled by modern information and communication technologies.

  It is very important that Information must not be disclosed.In Systems This can be done by proper ciphering,Encrypting,Archiving.Various techniques used should meet the requirements to maintain integrity of information.

 Information integrity policies are traditionally enforced by access control mechanisms that prevent unauthorized users from modify- ing data. However, access control does not provide end-to-end assurance of integrity. For that reason, integrity guarantees in the form of non interference assertions have been proposed. Despite the appeals of such information-flow based approaches to integrity, that solution is also un-satisfactory because it leads to a weaker notion of integrity than needed in practice. 

The information flows in the form of Centralised , Decentralised way of networking of systems.

Integrity to mean that data is:

– precise

– accurate

– unmodified

– consistent

– modified only in acceptable ways

– modified only by authorized people

– modified only by authorized processes

– meaningful and correct

Innovation in Information Integrity:

Being loyal to the people(in case of advertisements) can improve integrity.Providing a better satisfaction to customer thus increasing integrity.Making information simple and precise can be innovations to information integrity.
