Question 15 Alice sends an encrypted message to Bob but it is intercepted by Trudy. Trudy cannot read it but forwards it on to Bob from an anonymous address she controls. Which precept of the CIA Triad would have been violated?

There are three principles in the precept of the CIA Triad namely confidentiality, integrity, and availability. They are the basis of maintaining cyber security in every organizational's internal setup.

Integrity as a principle of the CIA Triad aims at preventing unauthorized modification or obliteration of data and information by anyone.
Here, since Trudy forwarded the message on to Bob from an anonymous address which Alice controls, he has violated the principle of integrity by modifying the address of the data.
