Explain, in your own words, the difference between access and control views of informational privacy, and describe a case in which a proponent of the access view and a proponent of the control view would disagree about whether an individual had privacy.
Access Views | Control Views |
Can only access the data. Means, can only read the data | Can read as well as modify the data in some persistent storage. |
Cannot corrupt the persistent storage like a database. As it is only read only | This control can corrupt the data in the persistent storage if the control view rights are compromised |
In terms of network security in information privacy, it can result in spoofing as someone might GET our information | In terms of netwrok security in information privacy, this might result in request manipulation to alter the user data in unwanted manner |
In terms of account management in information security, access view allows to just use the system as it is with a access view user level account where user cannot change anything on the system | In terms of account management in information security, control view gives privilidge to the user to modify the user setting in the system and can modify the already existing data/settings that can be shared or system level information. |
Proponent of Access
View to disagree to individual privacy.
- As we discussed the about spoofing / man in the middle attack in
above table regarding the network being compromised to get access
to the user information while there is a communication of the user
with the server. Thus, even the view is a access view, some third
party system has got hold of the information , though not modified
/ changed.
Proponent of Control View to disagree to individual privacy.
- As we disucssed in the difference table above that,
uncontrolled control rights can lead to modification of requests
going to the server which can modify the data of some other user by
using access of a different user. Thus, in the absense of strong
security measures, it would be disagreed to have user privacy just
with conrol level view.
