confidentiality:

The process of maintaining the privacy of transactions from sources to destinations is called “Confidentiality.” Confidentiality talks about protecting the disclosing of information to unauthorized parties on the network. The information transferred from source to destination has some secret message which cannot be shared with unauthorized users.
The most common technique adopted to keep the information confidential is the process of encryption. Encryption ensures that the message is secured with a private key and the original message will be in an unreadable format. So, everyone wishes to keep the information secret from diverse malicious activities on the network. Confidentiality is considered to be one of the primary factors of secured transactions between sources to the destination. The confidential information can contain any bank details, personal details, hospital details, government details, which needs to be protected from various malicious activities on the network.

integrity:

The information transmitted between sources to the destination is maintained confidentially. The protocol which governs the confidentiality of information from source to destination is called “Integrity.”Integrity ensures that only trusted parties are communicating inside the network. Integrity also ensures that only authorized users can access or modify the information transmitted through the network. Proper security infrastructure should be defined in order to manage the transactions on the trusted parties in the network. There are great chances of losing data integrity in the network, by the influence of the other attacks like social engineering attacks and malware attacks.

Availability:

There is a need for availability of information during transmission from source to destination. The availability arises when any operations or processing needs to be performed on the information transmitted between sources to the destination. The availability talks about the availability of information when it is required to be transmitted from source to destination and for other processing operations like encryption, decryption, and so on.
let us consider an example of the availability of information on an e-commerce site. The information should be available at the right time at the right place on an e-commerce site to present the customers with the required information of various products. Suppose, if the information is not available at the right time at the right place, then there are great chances of the site getting crashed.

The Seven-Step Model of Migration

Irrespective of the migration approach adopted, the Seven-step Model of Cloud Migration creates a more rational point of view towards the migration process and offers the ability to imbibe several best practices throughout the journey Step 1: Assess Cloud migration assessments are conducted to understand the complexities in the migration process at the code, design and architectural levels. The investment and the recurring costs are also evaluated along with gauging the tools, test cases, functionalities and other features related to the configuration. Step 2: Isolate The applications to be migrated to the cloud from the internal data center are freed of dependencies pertaining to the environment and the existing system. This step cuts a clearer picture about the complexity of the migration process. Step 3: Map Most organisations hold a detailed mapping of their environment with all the systems and applications. This information can be used to distinguish between the ...

Special Permissions in linux

The setuid permission on an executable file means that the command will run as the user owning the file, not as the user that ran the command. One example is the passwd command: [student@desktopX ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/passwd -rw s r-xr-x. 1 root root 35504 Jul 16 2010 /usr/bin/passwd In a long listing, you can spot the setuid permissions by a lowercase s where you would normally expect the x (owner execute permissions) to be. If the owner does not have execute permissions, this will be replaced by an uppercase S . The special permission setgid on a directory means that files created in the directory will inherit their group ownership from the directory, rather than inheriting it from the creating user. This is commonly used on group collaborative directories to automatically change a file from the default private group to the shared group, or if files in a directory should be...
