Overview#

CIA is an Abbreviation for:

• Central Intelligence Agency

Cryptography Objectives#

Some people imply the objectives of Cryptography are:

• Confidentiality
• Integrity
• Availability

I have yet to figure out why Availability has anything to do with Cryptography Objectives. Whether a resource has Availability or not has nothing to do with CIA unless it is due to a Denial-of-Service Attack

Some people imply the objectives of Cryptography are:

• Confidentiality - keeping secrets
• Integrity - ensuring safe transport
• Authentication - verifying identities

I certainly think this is better.
