7.1 IS Security

PART B:
Sunshine Land will have to contact the designer of our rides, Architect Plus, to let them know what they want thier next design to be.
Sending the message: They first have to decide to send the message to Architect Plus. Sunshine Land uses Architect Plus' public key to encrypt the message being sent. Then, the message is sent to Architect Plus. Architect Plus uses its own private key to decrypt the message. Finally, Architect Plus can read the message that was sent by us.
Signing the message: Sunshine Land decides to sign a document to be emailed to Architect Plus. Sunshine Land uses it's own private key to sign the message. The message is sent to Architect Plus. Then, Architect Plus uses our, Sunshine Land, public key to verify our signature. Finally, Architect Plus can now be certain that we signed the document.


PART A:
Sunshine Land can be threatened by accidents and natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, fires, etc. Outside intruders could possibly put a virus in our system and potentially shut it down. Employees could unknowingly open up emails that contain viruses that, yet again, could potentially shut our system down. If Sunshine Land sends information through the internet to Architect Plus, for example, it could potentially be accessed by an unknowingly source. That source could use our personal information to hack into our system and mess up our system. We can safeguard our information by making outsiders and employees type in an ID number and a password to get into the system.

6.1 - Web 2.0

Since utilizing the web as a platform is a platform for doing business through the internet, Sunshine Land can utilize the web as a platform by letting the employees e-mail each other, along with e-mailing the customers with different specials that the amusement park offers. Harnessing collective intelligence allows users to contribute information to the website of the company, which improves the content of the website. Our company's website can have a blogging section so the users can blog about their visit to the park that day. Other users that don't know about our park yet can go on the website and look at what our customers have to say, which potentially could bring in more business. Leveraging the data bases success of a company on powerful databases containing amounts of useful information. Our website will have information about our rides and our customers. Implementing innovative web capabilities allow the company to use widgets, web services, or mashups to make their website more personal for their customer. Sunshine Land will add calendars for our employees to look at and add dates that they need off or look at the holidays that they will already have off. Also, our website will be able to be reached through any device or any network for our employees and customers.
