WHAT IS THE MEANING OF
SECURITY

Security can be define as the act of protecting some ones goods, organization, company, factory, building or a country against threats such as crime or evil attacks.

SECURITY IN STEEMIT

SECURITY in STEEMIT talks about the measures set aside by the Organization to guide and control the privacy policy of its members. In order to guide and control the privacy of the members, there was need to develop some permission keys which have different usage, and only known to the owner.
The five permission keys in steemit are active key, owner key and posting key.
Below is a little explanation about the steemit keys.

I. ACTIVE KEYS
Active means engaging in physically energetic pursuit. The Active Key can do almost all functions the Owner Key can do with the account, except for changing the Owner Key itself. However, it's main ability is for confirmation of the transaction done in Steemit.

II. MEMO KEYS
A memo is a type of document used to communicate with others in the same Organization. A memo key is the only key that is specifically in encrypting( encryption is the process of converting information or data into codees), and decrypting( decryption is the process of converting an encrypted message back to its original form). Private messages sent and received via your Steemit account.

III. OWNER KEYS
The owner key means to be in control of some thing that belongs to you. The owner permission key gives you free gate pass to access your Steemit account anytime. This key gives you access to change other keys, and it is one of the most important keys in Steemit.

IV. POSTING KEY
Post Is a piece of writing, image, or other items of content published online, typically on a blog, social media, website or an application. Posting is the major activity performed with this key, but it has uses which includes; up voting(showing support) and down voting (demotion), selecting who to and who not to follow in Steemit.

V. MASTER KEY
Master is a skilled practitioner of a particular art or activity. The master key rises above other permission keys, and it's designed to perform special activities like changing of other keys. It is also called Steemit Password, because it influences other keys and rests at the top of the chain.

HOW TO SECURE YOUR KEYS
Every body has different ways to secure their keys, based on their point of view. But the most important here, is that you must make sure your key is secured.
After @Frank03 created my account, he told me to make sure I keep my details safe. Immediatey I copied my master key and other keys to my Gmail account were I can have access to it even if my phone unfortunately gets missing. Also, I locked my PDF reader with a strong password to prevent fraudster from getting into it.
