Information About

Integrity Protection





# The condition in which data are identically maintained during any Operation , such as Transfer , Storage , and retrieval.
# The preservation of data for their intended use.
# Relative to specified operations, the a priori expectation of Data Quality .

Another aspect of data integrity is the assurance that data can only be accessed and altered by those Authorized to do so.

Often such integrity is ensured by use of a number referred to as a Message Integrity Code or Message Authentication Code . These are abbreviated MIC and MAC respectively.

In Cryptography and Information Security in general, integrity refers to the validity of data. Integrity can be compromised in two main ways:
  • Malicious altering

  • ---An attacker alters the account number in a bank transaction

  • ---Forging an identity document

  • Accidental altering

  • --- Transmission Error s

  • ---Hard Disk Crash



Specifically, data integrity in a Relational Database is concerned with three aspects of the data in a database:
#Accuracy
#Correctness
#Validity
