Journal Entry #6

Last week in class we discussed privacy issues in relation to websites. This is a very important issue for many reasons. Having control of private information is necessary for a company to function because it stresses the trust between the client. If the trust isn't there then it is difficult to have an effective relationship.

There are many ways to ensure trust. There has to be proper ways of encoding files, there has to be proper software, and most importantly information needs to be regulated and checked constantly. There are many new ways to hack and get information so it is imperative to try and stay one step ahead of the game.

This is a very crucial topic in the field of technology. There are many ways that information can be stolen and manipulated. If hackers are able to do what they want with peoples information, the Internet will not be an effective tool because people will not trust in the system. As a company, being able to understand this is vital.
