Question:

1. Give the definition of SECURITY, PRIVACY, ETHICS & ERGONOMICS (4


marks)

● Security - It involves protecting individuals or organizations from theft and


danger. A digital security risk is any event or action that could cause a loss of or
damage to a computer or mobile device hardware, software, data, information, or
processing capability.
● Privacy - It concerns the collection and use of data about individuals or
companies to deny or restrict the collection, use, and dissemination of
information about them.
● Ethics - It is a standard of moral conduct where computer Ethics as a guidelines
for the morally acceptable use of computers.
● Ergonomics - The study of human factors related to things people use. It also
devoting to incorporating comfort, efficiency, and safety into the design of items
in the workplace

2. CYBER BULLYING is the use of the Internet to send or post content intended
to hurt or embarrass another person. Give four examples of cyberbullying. (4 marks)

● Stealing someone’s password and impersonating them online


● Harassing or threatening someone or sending mean messages through
instant messages (IMs), phone calls, text messages or emails
● Engaging someone in instant messaging and tricking them into revealing
personal information and then forwarding that information to others
● Spreading gossip, secrets or rumors about another person that will damage
that person’s reputation
3. Restricting access may help protect a computer from unauthorized access.
Elaborate four ways on how you can implement restricting access to your computer /
device / office. (12 marks)

Ways on how ones can implement restricting access to computer / device / office is
by :

1. Using a biometric scanning. A biometric device authenticates a person’s


identity by translating a personal characteristic into a digital code that is
compared with a digital code in a computer or mobile device verifying a
physical or behavioral characteristic.
2. Using a passphrase. It is more likely​ a password, but longer and more secure.
It​ is a private combination of words, often containing mixed capitalization and
punctuation, associated with a user name that allows access to certain
computer resources
3. Using a personal identification number (PIN) sometimes called a passcode. It
is a secure alphanumeric or numeric code used for authenticated access to a
system. A PIN serves as a validation tool for users of various types of
networks and systems either assigned by a company or selected by a user.
4. Using a ​possessed object. It is any item that you must possess, or carry with
you, in order to gain access to a computer or computer facility.​Examples of
possessed objects are keys, cards, smart cards, badges. An ATM card is a
possessed object that gives access to a bank account.

Common questions

Implementing security measures like biometric scanning, passphrases, PINs, and possessed objects can enhance security. Biometric scanning uses unique characteristics, passphrases extend password complexity, PINs provide a numeric code for secure access, and possessed objects, such as smart cards, serve as physical security tokens .

Security involves protecting individuals or organizations from theft and danger by safeguarding computer or mobile device components. Privacy is about controlling the collection, use, and dissemination of personal or company data. Ethics pertains to the moral guidelines for acceptable computer use. Ergonomics focuses on designing items for comfort, efficiency, and safety in the workplace .

Possessed objects like keys, smart cards, and badges verify identity by requiring something physical that the user must possess to gain access. They add a layer of security by confirming the user's physical presence .

Privacy concerns stem from unauthorized data collection and misuse, leading to breaches and loss of personal information control. Measures to mitigate such concerns include implementing strict data access controls, transparency in data usage, and ensuring data encryption .

Passphrases, being longer and more complex, provide better security than traditional passwords by reducing the chances of being guessed or cracked. However, they can be more challenging to remember and prone to misuse if not managed securely .

Ergonomics plays a crucial role by ensuring that workplace design promotes comfort, efficiency, and safety, reducing strain and injury risk associated with prolonged computer use. This can improve productivity and well-being among workers .

Cyberbullying occurs through tactics such as stealing someone's password and impersonating them, sending harassing messages, tricking victims into revealing personal information, and spreading harmful rumors or secrets to damage reputations .

Biometric devices offer security by using unique, difficult-to-replicate personal characteristics for authentication. However, potential limitations include privacy concerns, the need for specialized equipment, and the risk of false positives or negatives .

A PIN enhances security by requiring a unique numeric or alphanumeric code for access, serving as a personal validation method. Its vulnerabilities include the potential for easy guessing, theft, or unauthorized sharing if not kept confidential .

Ethics apply to computers through guidelines for morally acceptable use, including respecting privacy and intellectual property. When ethical standards are breached, issues like data misuse, privacy violations, and intellectual property theft arise, leading to legal and reputational challenges .
