Access Control List - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A list of access control entries (ACE)
that apply to an object. Each ACE controls or monitors access to an object
by a specified user. In a discretionary access control list (DACL), the ACL
controls access; in a system access control list (SACL) the ACL monitors
access in a security event log which can comprise part of an audit trail.
Accountability - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A fair information practices principle, it is the
idea that when personal information is to be transferred to another person
or organization, the personal information controller should obtain the
consent of the individual or exercise due diligence and take reasonable
,steps to ensure that the recipient person or organization will protect the
information consistently with other fair use principles.
Active Data Collection - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔When an end user deliberately
provides information, typically through the use of web forms, text boxes,
check boxes or radio buttons.
AdChoices - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A program run by the Digital Advertising
Alliance to promote awareness and choice in advertising for internet users.
Websites with ads from participating DAA members will have an AdChoices
icon near advertisements or at the bottom of their pages. By clicking on the
Adchoices icon, users may set preferences for behavioral advertising on
that website or with DAA members generally across the web.
Adequate Level of Protection - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A label that the EU may
apply to third-party countries who have committed to protect data through
domestic law making or international commitments. Conferring of the label
requires a proposal by the European Commission, an Article 29 Working
Group Opinion, an opinion of the article 31 Management Committee, a right
of scrutiny by the European Parliament and adoption by the European
Commission.
,Advanced Encryption Standard - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔An encryption algorithm for
security sensitive non-classified material by the U.S. Government. This
algorithm was selected in 2001 to replace the previous algorithm, the Date
Encryption Standard (DES), by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), a unit of the U.S. Commerce Department, through an
open competition. The winning algorithm (RijnDael, pronounced rain-dahl),
was developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent
Rijmen.
Adverse Action - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the
term "adverse action" is defined very broadly to include all business, credit
and employment actions affecting consumers that can be considered to
have a negative impact, such as denying or canceling credit or insurance,
or denying employment or promotion. No adverse action occurs in a credit
transaction where the creditor makes a counteroffer that is accepted by the
consumer. Such an action requires that the decision maker furnish the
recipient of the adverse action with a copy of the credit report leading to the
adverse action.

and product design that incorporates new system requirements during the

, actual creation of the system, as opposed to the Plan-Driven Development
Model. Agile development takes a given project and focuses on specific
portions to develop one at a time. An example of Agile development is the
Scrum Model.
Anonymization - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The process in which individually
identifiable data is altered in such a way that it no longer can be related
back to a given individual. Among many techniques, there are three
primary ways that data is anonymized. Suppression is the most basic
version of anonymization and it simply removes some identifying values
from data to reduce its identifiability. Generalization takes specific
identifying values and makes them broader, such as changing a specific
age (18) to an age range (18-24). Noise addition takes identifying values
from a given data set and switches them with identifying values from
another individual in that data set. Note that all of these processes will not
guarantee that data is no longer identifiable and have to be performed in
such a way that does not harm the usability of the data.
Anonymous Data - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Data sets that in no way indicate to
whom the data belongs. Replacing user names with unique ID numbers
