Finding Tech Updates is Not Difficult

 Data security encryption is primarily used to prevent malicious or negligent parties from accessing sensitive information. Thus, we can say that it is an important tool in cybersecurity, as it makes the use of intercepted data as difficult as possible. This method can be applied to all types of data protection needs, from confidential information to personal credit card transactions. Usually, data security encryption takes place with the help of specialized applications. Data encryption software, also known as an encryption algorithm, is used to develop a scheme that, theoretically, can only be broken with large amounts of computing power. To further understand how encryption works in data security, we need to know that it is a method often applied in two different forms: a symmetric key or an asymmetric key. A symmetric (or secret) key encrypts and decodes information. This is best used for individual sharing and smaller data sets. Asymmetric (or public) encryption uses two linke...

 Sérgio managed to convince the board of his company the importance of replacing the ERP used until then, as it was an obsolete system that no longer met the needs of the business. To this end, he wisely demonstrated the numerous advantages of this technology in managing the business. However, he has not yet had the final word from his director about which option they would invest: an ERP in the Cloud or on-premise. In his presentation, Sérgio emphasized that through a modern and efficient ERP, it would be possible to plan and control business resources through an integrated system with much more accuracy of data and a broader view of all the processes carried out.

 Which path to follow in the  IT career ? This is the main question of who is starting and of many who have been in this area for a long time. I myself have been in this endeavor for over 12 years and I still feel lost. In the past, working with computers was a top,  glamorized  profession and IT professionals were considered to be intellectually superior beings, but this was a time when no one had any idea what computing was about and any technological innovation was seen as something surprising and enigmatic. Nowadays people know a little more about technology and the fact that you know how to format a computer, install Windows or Linux, write some scripts does not make you an interesting person, because any curious boy can do that and after doing some 10 times he is already a professional in the field and can  charge  money for the service. And when you finally manage to become a  ninja  in a certain subject, new  more complex technologies...

 A  Google has been expanding its data centers - data processing centers - in various locations in the United States since 2006, so that in April 2018 was announced its eighth building in this direction in the country. As a result, $ 1.3 billion in economic activities and 11,000 new jobs were generated. This economic impact was recently presented by the company in a report prepared and published by  Oxford Economics - a company specialized in quantitative forecasting and data analysis. In the material, it is also pointed out that, for the construction and expansion of six of these projects - located in the states of Iowa, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina Colorado and Oregon - US $ 10.5 billion were invested. In these campuses alone, 1,900 employees were hired.

 In addition to the diplomas and certificates covered in the previous section, there are several other academic documents that need to be issued and stored securely. Such documents serve, for example, as proof of the training received by the student and his academic trajectory. Examples of these documents include evidence, history, among others. Security is important in this context because, for example, information such as grades in courses taken can be subject to adulteration to increase the chances of hiring a particular job. Srivastava et al . (2018) suggest the creation of a blockchain-based data recording platform that registers, through tokens , all credits acquired by the student throughout his academic trajectory. Each university in the system has a blockchain node and is responsible for generating identification credentials for its students by verifying the authenticity of their personal documents. Each student has his digital wallet, where tokens are registered for each ...
