The means of ensuring that the data has not been altered except by people who are explicitly intended to modify it When used as "network integrity," it can be considered as the means of ensuring that the network is not permitting services or activities that are against its policies
The ability of a system to provide timely warnings to users when the system should not be used for navigation as a result of errors or failures in the system
with respect to American preservation actions, a reference to the seven points of integritylocation, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and associationdefined within the criteria for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places
The assurance that the information received is identical to the information that was sent
In MVS, assurance that only authorized users can get into a privileged state (e g , protect key zero) Integrity is not synonymous with security, but security is impossible without it
1) Condition existing when an IS operates without unauthorized modification, alteration, impairment, or destruction of any of its components 2) The accuracy, completeness and reliable transmission and reception of information and its validity in accordance with business values and expectations; the adequacy and reliability of processes assuring personnel selection, access and safety; and the adequacy and reliability of processes assuring only authorized access to, and safety of, physical facilities
Assuring information will not be accidentally or maliciously altered or destroyed [7]
A basic security function of cryptography Integrity provides verification that the original contents of information have not been altered or corrupted Without integrity, someone might alter information or the information might become corrupted, but the alteration can go undetected For example, an Internet Protocol security property that protects data from unauthorized modification in transit, ensuring that the data received is exactly the same as the data sent Hash functions sign each packet with a cryptographic checksum, which the receiving computer checks before opening the packet If the packet-and therefore signature-has changed, the packet is discarded See also cryptography; authentication; confidentiality; nonrepudiation
n Ridged adherence to a code or standard of values The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness (IC) Willful allegiance or loyalty to one's principles and values Living in harmony with our deepest most inner beliefs, our essence
Ensuring that information is not altered by unauthorized persons in a way that is not detectable by authorized users
The ability to ensure that information is not modified except by people who are explicitly intended to modify it
The correctness, or accuracy, of the data in the database The tables in a relational database can be viewed as having a predicate where each column is a placeholder This predicate represents the meaning of the data in the table Each row in the table can then be viewed as a proposition by substituting each placeholder with the value for the corresponding column in that row The resulting proposition is considered true Therefore, a relational database is quite literally a collection of true propositions, or facts Integrity refers to this concept of truth in the database
The property that data has not been altered or destroyed in an unauthorised manner
One of the four fundamental requirements of information security, integrity measures are meant to protect data and/or resources from unauthorized modification See also: Accountability Availability Confidentiality
The ability to determine that the data received is the same as the data sent
Assuring information will not be accidentally or maliciously altered or destroyed
of documents, to ensure that it is complete and unaltered from the time of creation
That aspect of security that deals with the correctness of information or its processing An attack on integrity would seek to erase a file that should not be erased, alter an element of a database improperly, corrupt the audit trail for a series of events, propagate a virus, etc
Correct processing and information on a computer Integrity software compares known information on a computer with new information to identify possible compromises of integrity
As defined by the US EPA, integrity refers to the degree to which an ecosystem demonstrates a balanced, resilient community of organisms with biological diversity, species composition, structural redundancy, and functional processes comparable to that of natural habitats in the same region
