Assignment

During the first three weeks of this course we analyzed the components of secure data structures, their manipulation through secure searching and sorting, and a selection of recent literature on the nature of secure data architecture, given challenges posed by advanced meta-technology such as cloud computing.

For this assignment, you will write a research paper, the body of which will be at least 10 pages in length, addressing the following questions:

1. What components of a modern, universally accessible data structure are critical to assurance of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information contained therein?

2. What are the most efficient searching and sorting mechanisms for facillitating such enquiries, given the large numbers of users simultaneously accessing such information?

3. Which data organization approach used in modern cloud computing data structures do you find most secure? Why?

This paper will be written, researched, and documented according to APA sixth edition formatting rules.
