This is a term that has multiple definitions.

Some examples (thyere are more)

Integrity

Security context = Impervious to outsider attach - eg hackers trying to break into your network

Rights context = only the right users can make certain changes - eg Only system admin can add new users

Internal consistency = All the internal logic (and data) makes sense when operating together - eg - all units of distance are metric

Contextual consistency = the workings of the system operate in a logical way in the context of it's surrends - eg system integraton, or even the rules in the system align with the rules of the organsaition.

Interesting question - what led you to post this?

John,

Integrity - see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700839.aspx

A few of the things to watchout for are 1) you want the right people to have access to your system and 2) you want your data (images) to be fiddle-proof so that people cannot corrupt/hack your data. Do a search on Authentication and Integrity!

warm regards,
