includes a program as an integral part of its function. Can be physical (e.g.self-driving car), non-physical computing software (e.g. picture editing software), or non-physical computing concepts (e.g., e-commerce).

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

information about an individual that identifies, links, relates, or describes them.

a technique that attempts to trick a user into providing personal information. That personal information can then be used to access sensitive online resources, such as bank accounts and emails

the use of a program to record every keystroke made by a computer user in order to gain fraudulent access to passwords and other confidential information

software intended to damage a computing system or to take partial control over its operation

a wireless access point that gives unauthorized access to secure networks.

a process of encoding messages to keep them secret, so only "authorized" parties can read it.

a process that reverses encryption, taking a secret message and reproducing the original plain text.

Symmetric Key Encryption

involves one key for both encryption and decryption.

Public Key Encryption

pairs a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The sender does not need the receiver’s private key to encrypt a message, but the receiver’s private key is required to decrypt the message

Multi-factor Authentication

a system that requires at least two steps to unlock protected information; each step adds a new layer of security that must be broken to gain unauthorized access

Computer Virus Scanning Software

protects a computing system against infection.
