Information security:

Information security, is nothing but the actions taken to prevent information from unauthorized access, use, disruption, modification, disclosure, or destruction. It concentrates on maintaining a balanced protection of confidentiality, availability of data and integrity of data. Simultaneously takes care of the efficient policy implementation, which does not hamper the organization’s productivity.

Explanation of Solution

Information security as management problem:

  • The staff required in the Information security department and their salaries, is also handled by management team and Information Technology (IT) team can only advice.
  • The decisions regarding the policies and regulations are taken by management and Information Technology department (IT) again gives advice.

Problems which are handled completely by management:

  • Information security faces the first problem with the assets required and what should be the value of the assets. This issue is not an Information technology (IT) problem and is dealt by top management system.
  • Information technology department should also invest some money for the security of information, which is again dealt by management team and Information Technology department just provides the data about the risk analysis.

2. Signed Integers Unsigned binary numbers work for natural numbers, but many calculations use negative numbers as well. To deal with this, a number of different methods have been used to represent signed numbers, but we will focus on two's complement, as it is the standard solution for representing signed integers. 2.1 Two's complement • Most significant bit has a negative value, all others are positive. So, the value of an n-digit -2 two's complement number can be written as: Σ2 2¹ di 2n-1 dn • Otherwise exactly the same as unsigned integers. i=0 - • A neat trick for flipping the sign of a two's complement number: flip all the bits (0 becomes 1, or 1 becomes 0) and then add 1 to the least significant bit. • Addition is exactly the same as with an unsigned number. 2.2 Exercises For questions 1-3, answer each one for the case of a two's complement number and an unsigned number, indicating if it cannot be answered with a specific representation. 1.

1. Unsigned Integers If we have an n-digit unsigned numeral dn-1d n-2...do in radix (or base) r, then the value of that numeral is n−1 r² di Σi=0 which is basically saying that instead of a 10's or 100's place we have an r's or r²'s place. For binary, decimal, and hex r equals 2, 10, and 16, respectively. Just a reminder that in order to write down a large number, we typically use the IEC or SI prefixing system: IEC: Ki = 210, Mi = 220, Gi = 230, Ti = 240, Pi = 250, Ei = 260, Zi = 270, Yi = 280; SI: K=103, M = 106, G = 109, T = 10¹², P = 1015, E = 10¹8, Z = 1021, Y = 1024. 1.1 Conversions a.
