Boost your revision by generating flashcards to aid retention.

How it works

Explanation

Flashcards (alongside revision strategies like spaced repetition) enable you to bring discrete information into one revision package. This can help you to repeatedly test the same information and improve recall on key concepts.

Example Prompt

“Hello! I'm a third-year BSc Cybersecurity student studying at a UK university. I am revising for an exam on "Information Security Management". Could you produce text-based flashcards for some key concepts I am trying to remember definitions for? These are the "CIA Triad", "Authenticity" and "Non-repudiation". Could you also give a short example for each? Thanks!"

AI response

Here are your flashcards, designed for quick revision and deeper understanding:

🧠 Flashcards – Information Security Management

🔐 Flashcard 1: CIA Triad

Definition:
The CIA Triad is a foundational model in information security that stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. It guides policies and practices to protect data.

Example:
A hospital’s patient database must:

Keep records confidential (only accessible to authorized staff),
Maintain integrity (no unauthorized changes),
Ensure availability (accessible when needed for treatment).

✅ Flashcard 2: Authenticity

Definition:
Authenticity refers to the assurance that data, communications, or users are genuine and have not been tampered with or impersonated.

Example:
When logging into a secure banking app, multi-factor authentication helps verify that the user is truly who they claim to be—ensuring authenticity.

🧾 Flashcard 3: Non-repudiation

Definition:
Non-repudiation ensures that a party in a communication cannot deny the authenticity of their signature or the sending of a message.

Example:
A digitally signed contract sent via email provides non-repudiation—the sender cannot later claim they didn’t send or agree to it.

Taking it Further

After receiving the AI’s feedback:

Design the flashcards yourself: By creating something yourself (whether on paper or on your devices), you are actively engaging with the materials rather than asking AI to do this for you (you can always ask it to add creative flourishes later if you'd like!)
If you like the format: You can make it clear that you like the way this has been presented (pointing out what you particularly like) and ask it to produce more.
Ask it to assess your existing flashcards: Input your own definitions and see what the AI model thinks and whether any definitions can be improved (always double check any suggestions though!).
