Value of Privacy

computing innovation

• Information about an individual that identifies, links, relates, or describes them.

• Includes a program as an integral part of its function. Can be physical (e.g. self-driving car), non-physical computing software (e.g. picture editing software), or non-physical computing concepts (e.g., e-commerce).

• A technique that attempts to trick a user into providing personal information. That personal information can then be used to access sensitive online resources, such as bank accounts and emails.

• The use of a program to record every keystroke made by a computer user in order to gain fraudulent access to passwords and other confidential information.

digital divide

• refers to differing access to computing devices and the Internet, based on socioeconomic, geographic, or demographic characteristics

• A process that reverses encryption, taking a secret message and reproducing the original plain text.

• A process of encoding messages to keep them secret, so only "authorized" parties can read it.

• Pairs a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The sender does not need the receiver's private key to encrypt a message, but the receiver's private key is required to decrypt the message.
