ELECTRONIC CRIME’S EFFECT ON DATA SECURITY

BY JIM WOODARDTEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY

INTRO

• THE PURPOSE OF THIS LITERATURE REVIEW IS TO EXAMINE THE EFFECT THAT VARIOUS ELECTRONIC CRIMES HAVE ON DATA SECURITY IN TERMS OF VERIFICATION SYSTEMS, COMPLEX VERIFICATION SYSTEMS, AND LEGISLATION.

SIMPLE VERIFICATION SYSTEMS

• CURRENT VERIFICATION TECHNIQUES THAT ARE USED BY BUSINESSES AREN’T ENOUGH TO RELIABLY PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

• OFTEN SIMPLE SYSTEMS CAN BE INACCURATE ON OCCASION.

COMPLEX VERIFICATION SYSTEMS

• COMBINATION OF SIMPLE VERIFICATION TECHNIQUES LEADS TO STRONGER INTEGRITY WITHIN THE SYSTEM ITSELF.

• BIO-VERIFICATION ARE MUCH MORE RELIABLE THAN PASSWORD COMBINATION OR PIN VERIFICATION SYSTEMS.

LEGISLATION AND REGULATION

• GOVERNMENTS ARE SLOW TO ACT ON CYBER CRIMES.• MORE TIME IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO VERIFY WHETHER OR NOT THE

LEGISLATION IS ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE.

CONCLUSION

• MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED ON COMPLEX VERIFICATION SYSTEMS AND LEGISLATION IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EACH AGAINST MODERN DAY CYBER-CRIMES.
