Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad MCA 2018 PRINCIPLES OF INFORMATION SECURITY Previous Question Paper (June/July - 2018 - R15)

The components of information security, often referred to as the CIA triad plus additional elements, include:

• Confidentiality: Ensures that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access.
• Integrity: Ensures the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods, preventing unauthorized modification.
• Availability: Ensures that authorized users have access to information and associated assets when required.
• Authenticity: Verifies the identity of the user or system.
• Non-repudiation: Ensures that a sender cannot deny having sent a message or performed a transaction.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a 1998 United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes the production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM).

Key provisions include the 'Safe Harbor' clause, which protects online service providers from liability for copyright infringement by their users, provided they act expeditiously to remove infringing material upon notification.
