Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication PrinciplesApplication of AHP to support information security decision making in case of Indian e-government systems

This paper examines the application of AHP in evaluating information security policy decision making with respect to Indian e-government systems. We suggest a new model based on four aspects of information security (management, technology, economy and culture) and three information security components (confidentiality, integrity and availability). AHP methodology was applied to analyze the decision making process. It is found that management and technology were the dominant aspects of information security, while availability was the main concern of information security elements for e-government information systems.
