Key Dimensions of Security

Key Dimensions
 
·         Integrity: Ability to ensure that information being displayed on a web site or transmitted/received over the Internet has not been altered in any way by an unauthorized party.
Content should be unaltered.
·         Non repudiation: Ability to ensure that e-commerce participants do deny (repudiate) online auctions.
Eg: Phishing(cloning of a website) occurs for online web portals of banks. 
·         Authenticity: Ability to identify the identity of a person or entity with whom you are dealing on the Internet.
·         Confidentiality : Ability to ensure that messages and data are available only to those authorized users to view them.
·         Privacy: Ability to control use of information a customer provides about himself/herself to a merchant.
Privacy is a very big issue online. We are continuously being tracked. We need to be vigilant.
·         Availability: Ability to ensure that the data/information is available ubiquitously that is can be accessed any time from anywhere.

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
