The degree of protection for data from intentional or unintentional alteration or misuse.
In cryptography, the ability to detect if data has been modified by entities that are not authorized to modify it.
The ability to determine that the data received is the same as the data sent.
The property of ensuring that data are transmitted from the source to destination without undetected alteration.
A way to ensure that information is not modified except by those who are authorized to do so.
A component of information protection that involves ensuring that the information is accurate, to include controlling "write access" to the information.
Preventing unauthorized modification.
The value judgment that a transmission, message, or document has not been modified accidentally or maliciously since it was authored.
The prevention of unauthorized modification of information.
Integrity refers to aspects of the quality of information and systems. For example, integrity means that the data or message is not destroyed or corrupted, and that systems operate correctly.
Coherence between the definition of the Objects and Joins of a Universe and the database data dictionary.
One of the cornerstones of secure Internet communications, referring to the fact that the contents of a message have not been modified (intentionally or accidentally) during transmission
the property that an object meets an established set of expectations. One example of integrity is that changes must be accomplished in a specified and authorised manner. Data integrity, program integrity, system integrity and network integrity are all relevant to consideration of computer and system security. INTERACTION A two-way exchange of information or transaction. INTERACTIVITY The extent to which someone can provide information to an organisation's Web site, as well as receiving information from it.
The property of the data has not been altered, or destroyed in an unauthorized manner.e
to maintain the integrity of data is to ensure that a database is never in a state where it could provide incorrect information
a critical first step in obtaining meaningful gene expression data
The ability to ensure that information is not modified except by people who are explicitly intended to modify it.
The protection of information from unauthorised modification.
The property of ensuring that data is transmitted from a source to a destination, or stored, without undetected alteration.
In MVS, assurance that only authorized users can get into a privileged state (e.g., protect key zero). Integrity is not synonymous with security, but security is impossible without it.
Protection against unauthorized modification or destruction of information. [NS4009]. A state in which information has remained unaltered from the point it was produced by a source, during transmission, storage, and eventual receipt by the destination.
Procedures applied to ensure that information is not corrupted in transit. Different integrity procedures may protect against accidental or intentional corruption of data.
That aspect of security that deals with the correctness of information or its processing. An attack on integrity would seek to erase a file that should not be erased, alter an element of a database improperly, corrupt the audit trail for a series of events, propagate a virus, etc.
A security service that, in addition to user authentication, provides proof of the validity of transmitted data through cryptographic tagging. See also authentication, Message Integrity Code.
A basic security function of cryptography. Integrity provides verification that the original contents of information have not been altered or corrupted. Without integrity, someone might alter information or the information might become corrupted, but the alteration can go undetected. For example, an Internet Protocol security property that protects data from unauthorized modification in transit, ensuring that the data received is exactly the same as the data sent. Hash functions sign each packet with a cryptographic checksum, which the receiving computer checks before opening the packet. If the packet-and therefore signature-has changed, the packet is discarded. See also cryptography; authentication; confidentiality; nonrepudiation.
The assurance that a message will not be deleted or altered without explicit authorization that the message's sender.
Guarantee that a data (or code) has not been modified in transit. Integrity is an essential role of sryptography systems.
Integrity, as a key concept, is the level of trust which can be placed on data. As the integrity of the data is elevated, so does the ability to trust that data.
The quality of the data being kept is complete, accurate, and not erroneously modified
To ensure that information is accurate and complete and has not been changed.
A piece of information has integrity when you can show that it has not been altered (either by accident or as a result of hacking) without you being aware of the fact.
Absolute verification that data or information has not been modified in transmission or during computer processing (JCS 1997). See also information integrity.
Integrity ensures that file system data is not modified by an intruder. An intruder can not intercept a file system data packet and modify it without the network file system discovering and rejecting the tampering.
Data that has retained its integrity has not been modified or tampered with.
A protection level that may be specified in secure RPC communications that ensures that data transferred between two principals has not been modified in transit.
The property that information has not been modified or destroyed in an unauthorized manner.
The property that data or information has not been modified or altered in an unauthorised manner.
Ensuring information is safe from accidental or malicious deletion or alteration.
Assuring information will not be accidentally or maliciously altered or destroyed. [NSA Glossary
The quality of an information system reflecting the logical correctness and reliability of the operating system; the logical completeness of the hardware and software implementing the protection mechanisms; and the consistency of the data structures and occurrence of the stored data. Note that, in a formal security mode, integrity is interpreted more narrowly to mean protection against unauthorized modification or destruction of information.
Propagation: On Link Reliability Security: cryptographic mechanisms: message integrity checks, digital signatures aka authenticity See also: party, principal, Corruption, Forgery, Version skew, replica
The degree to which a system (or system component) prevents unauthorized access to, or modification of, computer programs or data.
Integrity means the property that data or information have not been altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner.
Undisturbed, unchanged. Valid. Close Glossary Window
Guarantee that a message has not been modified in transit. Integrity is an essential role of cryptography systems.
a set of values representing a specific property of a data base that ensures that the data contained in the data base in accurate and consistent as possible.
A security service that, in addition to user authentication, provides for the validity of transmitted data through cryptographic checksumming. See also authentication, privacy.
A series of tests performed on each caption to make sure it is ready for broadcast, such as ensuring that it does not exceed a specified reading rate.
The guarantee that the contents of the message received were not altered from the contents of the original message sent.
The means of ensuring that the data has not been altered except by people who are explicitly intended to modify it. When used as "network integrity," it can be considered as the means of ensuring that the network is not permitting services or activities that are against its policies.
With respect to data, its accuracy, quality, validity, and safety from unauthorized use.
protection against corruption; in the Security context, protection against unauthorized change.
Consultants the preservation of programs and data for their intended purpose.
Assurance that data is not modified (by unauthorized persons) during storage or transmittal.
Information that is free from error, corruption or alteration
The service that protects information from modification or loss. Restricting user's rights to information as "read only" and use of tape backup systems are examples of Integrity security services.
Refers to the validity of data. Data integrity can be compromised in several ways, including human error when data is entered or errors that occur when data is transmitted from one computer to another.
Integrity refers to the assurance that information and assets are authentic and complete.
Integrity is the need to ensure that information has not been changed accidentally or deliberately, and that it is accurate and complete.
