My Virtual Fridge App Uses Computer Security

This app is a virtual fridge on your smart phone that tells you when your items are running low. Items are scanned onto the phone using the barcode scanner. When an item is running low, the app will notify the user. This app also allows users to save time by giving the quickest route to get all items at a supermarket along with helping users stay on their diet when they continue to scan and buy special products.

       When using an app like My Virtual Fridge, it it important to make sure that the app secures the information stored. In the My Virtual Fridge app, it contains many important information that can be private to some people like weight ( for users using the diet feature), items bought, supermarkets a user shopped at, amount of purchases and a lot more. With all this valuable information stored in this app, the app uses computer security to make sure all information is secured.
        The way computer security works with the app is that it protects the information from theft, corruption, or even a natural disaster. However, it still allows the information to be accessible for a certain user with a login username and password. The information that a user stores in the My Virtual Fridge app will always be secured because this app uses the best and most updated computer technology to keep valuable information secured.
         Because of the information being secured with the most updated computer technology, all information stored on the My Virtual Fridge app will not be affected by malware. Malware is a software that is used to create or disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems. With many programs being affected by malicious software  you can't ever go wrong with using this app because all of a user's information will be secured and protected at all times.

  1. Very cool idea, and I especially enjoy that it seems that most of this information is cloud based. It seems like your information is more secured in this way. But what is the technology that keeps the information secure?

  2. Computer Security is a very critical component to having success with your idea. You should look in to encrypting your users data. This would allow you to have better security for your customers.
