• Real-Life Application:
  • Encryption: When you send an email or browse a secure website (look for "https://"), your data is often encrypted. This scrambles the data so only the intended recipient, who has the "key," can unscramble and read it. Think of it like a locked diary.
  • Access Control: This involves setting permissions on files or systems. Only specific users or groups can open certain documents or log into particular servers. Your online banking requires your username and password, acting as an access control mechanism.
  • Physical Security: Locking your office door or keeping sensitive documents in a locked cabinet prevents unauthorized physical access, thus maintaining confidentiality.
