Security is liberty from or elasticity in contrast to probable impairment instigated by others. Recipients of security may be of individuals and social collections, items, and institutions, ecosystems, or any other singularity susceptible to uninvited alteration. The same goes to our mobile phones, social media accounts, bank accounts, Physical security, which is security actions that are intended to refute illegal entrée to facilities, apparatus, and possessions and to shield employees and belongings from mutilation or destruction (for instance spying, burglary, or radical occurrences). Physical security contains the use of several layers of symbiotic schemes that can include CCTV scrutiny, security guards, defensive blockades, locks, access switches, perimeter intrusion detection, deterrent systems, fire protection, and other structures planned to save persons and assets.

These collections cannot run efficiently without the use of pins or passwords in the prevention of latent damage or cohesive modification by others. In other words, Security is a defence system needed to guard any adept strategy of infiltration.

Surprisingly, my research has uncovered that hygiene is security on its own. Did you know that washing of hands, taking a shower, brushing the teeth twice daily, washing one’s clothes, using deodorant or antiperspirant et cetera are all protective measures taken in the prevention of deadly diseases? Well, now you know.

Essentially, I’ve judiciously repossessed all of my keys in Steemit, I was lucky enough to be well-versed about the retrievement of my keys in Steemit by @unyimeetuk. @unyimeetuk gave numerous indispensable pieces of info about the Steemit keys and how to preserve them appropriately. He further clarified that the archives containing my keys should be downloaded and backed up on my Google Drive which I have fruitfully finalized. I also pressed more in printing the PDF dossier consisting of my Steem keys for my defensive security reasons. Certainly, I know all the Steem key functions and their boundaries.

• THE MASTER KEY: The master key is essentially used when signing up for the Steemit account on the very first occurrence. The master key is created to derive all the Steemit Keys. With the aid of the master password repossession of all user's private keys is usually completed at ease. The master password shouldn't be used to log into Steemit.com or any similar Steemit application. The master password is recommended to be safeguarded separately from the rest of the passcodes for efficiency and effectiveness.

• PRIVATE POSTING KEY: The posting key is designed for the specific purpose of posting, commenting, upvoting, resteeming, etc. It is as well utilized for our frequent and everyday login. The posting key is present to curb the desecration that a conceded account key would likely cause.

• PRIVATE ACTIVE KEY: The active key is used for vital responsibilities such as transaction purposes, apprising profile data, etc. You can’t post with the key it is specifically designed for transaction resolutions. PRIVATE OWNER KEY: This key is used on special occasions; it is the most significant key because it can alter any key of an account including the owner key itself. It is meant to be saved offline example; Google Drive etc. it is also used to recover a conceded account.

• PRIVATE MEMO KEY: This key is used for a specific motive which is encrypting and decrypting memos in the transaction of funds. I in fact design to save my master key offline where no third party would perhaps have access. This is indeed obligatory for the safekeeping of my account. I perceptibly know how how to transfer my steem token to another steem user account. First, all you have to do is to take the following steps.

• Firstly, you have to open your wallet as demonstrated underneath
  

• Secondly, the next step you need to take is to tap the cascading arrow below the steem token and tap transfer. A pictorial example is shown below.

• Penultimately, insert the username of the account to which you wish to transfer the steam and the amount of liquid steem that you desire to allocate. Lastly in this column include the memo ask for and conclude this particular transaction procedure.
  

• Ultimately, type in your password in the password column and finalize your transaction by tapping "sign in"
  

See, the transaction process is absolutely easy, responsive, and user-friendly.

Indubitably, I know how to power up my steem and I will not hesitate to elucidate on them through the subsequent images.

Firstly, you have to open your wallet once again and tap on the pop-up stub below the steem token and as well click on the power-up button.

Secondly, you key in the amount of steem you wish to power up and tap on "Power Up"

Eventually, add your activation key in the space provided to conclude the transaction technique. This was indeed an exciting exploration to write on, I’m very confident about the fact that I responded to all the questions with precision. Thank you @cryptokannon for giving me the invitation to contribute to this assignment, every second was truly valuable.
