Some Options for Assignment 3: Report Topic and Presentation

The following offers a list of about 70 broad ideas suitable for students to consider as a Report Topic for this unit in 2018.

Students are encouraged to select an area to specialise in for their Report. The focus should be to define a narrow, but deep (detailed), area of research. It is anticipated that pursuing such a “narrow and deep” topic area is likely to provide students with high levels of autonomy, ownership, motivation and personalised learning outcomes.

The list is only intended as an idea prompt. Students are encouraged to identify alternative topic areas to pursue if they wish, but these must be submitted to their tutor for consideration and authority to proceed.

Each of the topics identified below contains ethical considerations. Each is open to be viewed for its relative strengths and weaknesses (positive and negative effects). Such a balanced consideration of strengths and weakness must be incorporated into the Report.

Areas which do not hold such “two-way” arguments are not suitable as a Report Topic area. For example, the incidence of malware (such as viruses) is not a suitable report topic area as it is “all bad” in its effect on society…unless a student can clearly argue some positive effects.

Executive Summary
ICT is a broad field that covers different technologies that can easily store, receive and transmit the data electronically. As electronic devices are so tightly integrated into the structure of modernized society the strengths and weaknesses of the ICT use in different fields might not be instantly apparent. This report includes a current issue in the area of encryption technology. This report also highlights social, cultural, ethical, and legal implications of encryption technologies, and how these aspects may differ in different countries.

Introduction
Contemporary issues with information business or trend are popular all over the world. However, they are more concerned with the problem of information management. Professional skills, skills, and attitudes to the globalization of ICT and information services have led to emerging problems in information management and knowledge management in the recent past to information society and knowledge organizations. The problem now needs to be changed to information management. In this release, there are tremendous changes in the information business. Information technology is exceedingly promoted as a strong mechanism to promote health care security (Choudhury & Kirubanand, 2018). The irony is that there is little focus on the security of healthcare IT. Computer scientists and professionals have broadly studied the issue of ensuring performance in the safety of critical computing frameworks and systems. They developed a conceptual approach and a set of strategies or techniques for incorrect or abnormal operations (or the result of the proper operation, exceptions in context) that could jeopardize the user, the public, and the environment. However, such methods are not usually used in the healthcare IT, which is usually developed without special consideration of a unique requirement of special factors as well as safe operation.
Is IT safe: Security & encryption
There is always a need for secure and secret communication in the field of database systems. When transmitting data, it is always possible to intercept on the outside of the sender-receiver domain. Modern digitalized encryption methods form a unique basis of database security in today's digital world. Earlier data encryption was used by the military as well as by government organizations to keep their information secret but is currently used to protect information in its various citizen systems. In the year 2007, the US Government reported that almost 7% of large and small companies surveyed the encryption or partial data used during the transport. Using an Encryption Algorithm (password), the information (simple text) is defined as the process of converting a non-readable form (encrypted information called Shift) so that no one Even without the knowledge of decrypting this information, it could not be accessed. "Encoding data from a specific algorithm that is unreadable without any decryption key from any program" is known as encryption (Setyaningsih & Iswahyudi, 2012). In the computing world, encryption is a way by which simple text or different type of data is easily converted into a readable version in an encoded version which can be decoded by another organization if they have smooth access to the decryption key. Encryption is the most significant way to provide data security, particularly for the security of the data transmitted over the network. Encryption is broadly utilized on the internet to safeguard user information or data sent between the browser and the server to keep the secrets, including strong passwords, payment related data and any other personal or delicate information that must be considered private. Several organizations moreover individuals generally encrypt security for sensitive data which is stored on computers, mobile devices such as phones or tablets and servers.
Positive and negative effects
Positive Points
Encryption always provides protection for data: Generally, data is weakest when moving from one different location. Encryption works throughout data transfer or rest, and this is the ideal solution whether anyone is archived or how to use it. Encryption must be standard for each and every data stored at all times, no matter whether it is considered "important" or not.
Maintains encrypted data integrity: Hackers can not only steal information but can also change the data to fraud. Although the technician can change the encrypted data, the data received will be capable to detect the damage and thus will respond quickly to cyber attacks (Zhang & Wang, 2012).
Encryption is part of compliance: Several industries have strict compliance needs and requirements to assist in the protection of organizations that collect personal industries. HIPAA, FIPS, and other rules rely on safe methods for example encryption to secure and protect data, and enterprises can utilize encryption for complete security.
Negative Points
Does not protect the data in transit: Encryption is still has its own drawback the first is that it cannot protect the data in transit. In particular, if a user shares data between devices or sends data by email, the data in transit is not protected. Hackers can easily steal it.
Slow down the computer: In addition, in the case of full disk encryption, the entire drive is encrypted. In this case,
