Control Measures• Authentication• Data Encryption• Firewall• Intrusion Prevention System
Authentication• Authentication verifies that users or systems are
who they claim to be, based on identity (e.g., username) and credentials (e.g., password).
• Many embarrassing incidents could be avoided by providing vigorous authentication to mobile devices and their networks.
Data EncryptionData encryption refers to • Mathematical calculations and algorithmic schemes
that transform plaintext into cypher text.• Cyphertext - non-readable to unauthorized parties.• The recipient of an encrypted message uses a key
which triggers the algorithm mechanism to decrypt (decode) the data.
• This transforms it to the original plaintext version.
Firewall• A firewall is simply a program or hardware
device that filters the information coming through the Internet connection into your private network or computer system.
Intrusion Prevention System• A network security device that monitors network
for malicious or unwanted behavior.• It can react, in real-time, to block or prevent
those activities.• Network-based IPS, for example, will operate
in-line to monitor all network traffic for malicious code or attacks . When an attack is detected, it can drop the offending packets while still allowing all other traffic to pass.
And then tear of security concern is sure to go..
Conclusion• In Above Paper I Have dealt with security issues and
frauds happens in India. I have focused on applying extra security concepts that are unique without any backdoor to attack on it. One cannot regard Government as complete failure in shielding numerous e-commerce activities on the firm basis of which this industry has got to its skies, but then the law cannot be regarded as free from ambiguities.
