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.
