Integrity is the assurance that the data remains intact and unaltered. It ensures that the data has not been modified or tampered with during transmission or storage, intentionally or unintentionally. In other words, integrity ensures that the data remains accurate and trustworthy.

Confidentiality refers to the ability to keep sensitive information private and protected from unauthorized access. Availability refers to the ability to access the data when needed. Non-repudiation refers to the ability to ensure that a party cannot deny the authenticity or integrity of a communication or transaction.

In summary, integrity ensures that data remains unchanged and accurate, while confidentiality ensures that data is protected from unauthorized access, availability ensures that data is available when needed, and non-repudiation ensures that the authenticity and integrity of a communication or transaction cannot be denied.
