When they shop—whether online or at brick and mortar stores—retailers gain access to their credit card numbers. Medical institutions maintain patient records‚ which are increasingly electronic. Corporations store copious customer lists and employee Social Security numbers. These types of data frequently get loose. Hackers gain entry to improperly protected networks

Data transmission‚ digital transmission‚ or digital communications is the physical transfer of data (a digital bit stream) over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels are copper wires‚ optical fibres‚ wireless communication channels‚ and storage media. The data are represented as an electromagnetic signal‚ such as an electrical voltage‚ radiowave‚ microwave‚ or infrared signal. Data representation can be divided into two categories: Digital

security and tighter control on how we send information electronically over the Internet or through a network. Date encryption is‚ in its simplest terms‚ the translation of data into a secret code. In order to read an encrypted file‚ the receiver of the file must obtain a secret key that will enable him to decrypt the file. A deeper look into cryptography‚ cryptanalysis‚ and the Data Encryption Standard (DES) will provide a better understanding of data encryption. Cryptographic Methods There

In your answer‚ address the following: Data mining refers to the process or method that extracts or \mines" interesting knowledge or patterns from large amounts of data. (a) Is it another hype? Data mining is not another hype. Instead‚ the need for data mining has arisen due to the wide availability of huge amounts of data and the imminent need for turning such data into useful information and knowledge. Thus‚ data mining can be viewed as the result of
