A deeper look into cryptography‚ cryptanalysis‚ and the Data Encryption Standard (DES) will provide a better understanding of data encryption. Cryptographic Methods There are two standard methods of cryptography‚ asymmetric encryption and symmetric encryption. Data that is in its original form (unscrambled)

Data warehousing is the process of collecting data in raw form for analyzing trends. The benefits to data warehousing are improved end-user access‚ increased data consistency‚ various kinds of reports can be made from the data collected‚ gather the data in a common place from separate sources and additional documentation of data. Potential lower computing costs‚ increased productivity‚ end-users can query the database without using overhead of the operational systems and creates an infrastructure

Networks Volvo utilized data mining in an effort to discover the unknown valuable relationships in the data collected and to assist in making early predictive information. It created a network of sensors and CPUs that were embedded throughout the cars and from which data was captured. Data was also captured from customer relationship systems (CRM)‚ dealership systems‚ product development and design systems and from the production floors in their factories. The terabytes of data collected was streamed
