Do we need information security?

Nowadays Data and information security is the most popular concept. Since technology is developing as a part of our life, Even If you are a technical person or not, we all have to aware of security threats and prevention methods.

Have ever think, how valuable our personal information is? Definitely, those are our assets which can be sold for millions and billions. Everyone has some details regarding them, what they like to share with everybody, or with a particular person or group. Sometimes may not with anyone. So we have all the right to decide what should be private, what should be public and whom we should share with. Consequently, our information should be protected according to our requirement.

Is that only thing we have to deliberate about information? Not exactly. Our information not only is with us always. We might have to save it somewhere, which we assume as safe. Sometimes we have to retrieve it from the storage media whenever we need. And we have to share that information with someone else in a secure manner. Therefore the application we saved information, the machine where an application runs, the devices which are connected to the machine and the transmission media/ network which transmit the information should be protected strongly from intruders’ attacks.

So everyone owes to take steps to secure their information.

“At the end of the day, the goals are simple : safety and security” – Jodi Rell.

Double Submit Cookie

Double submit cookie is one of the prevention method for Cross-Site Request Forgery ( CSRF ) . Same as the synchronizer token pattern, it is using a cryptographic random value to validate a request agent. However, the implementation is different since the way it is saved is dissimilar. Here, the generated token value is saved in the browser, not on the server. Therefore servers no need to save huge amounts of data. When a user makes a request, the server compared the token value in the form DOM element (in the body) and token in the cookie header of the request.
