...Social Networking Mobile base applications are capable of providing your most sensitive information with and sometimes without your knowledge. The geolocation data can reveal a person’s physical location, and this can be done by a Global Positioning System (GPS), Internet Protocol (IP) geolocation using data bases that map IP addresses to geographic locations as well as financial transaction information. This technology has become very useful, especially in the social networking arena. It allows us to inform our friends and followers as to where we are and what we are doing. This technology created a way for us to do things once thought could only be done via telephone or desktop computer. This same technology has become a part of us and everything we do, we have grown to depend on it and it has proven to be most efficient and effective. Perhaps one of the greatest accomplishments of mobile based applications is mobile GPS, instead of doing things the traditional way by pulling directions up on our desktop and printing it out, we can now just plug the information into our mobile GPS and listen to the sound of a voice giving us step by step directions as we are driving via our mobile device from “Point A” to “Point B”. This is done via a chip installed within your mobile device, with this technology your device has a connection via the satellite to pinpoint your exact location. The efficiency of these devices does depend heavily on the signal your device...

...Section III: Adaption of Requirements to Reduce Security Risk……….……………....…......11 Conclusion. …………………………………….…………………………………….…21 References ……………………………………………………………...………………23 Introduction There are multiple benefits of electronic health records (EHR), which include improved care, quicker access to patient files, and increased physician oversight of care. However, with the benefit of convenience of using EHRs, comes the responsibility of protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) and safeguarding sensitive patient data. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) focuses on protecting ePHI with guidelines to ensure organizations have implemented “reasonable and appropriate” security measures to adhere to HIPAA rules and maintain patient confidentiality. HIPAA requires covered entities to conduct risk assessments to verify compliance and attempt to uncover areas where ePHI is at risk of compromise. This analysis of the iTrust database, as related to the new requirements that iTrust wishes to implement, will discuss the threats and vulnerabilities and the potential impact on the iTrust web application and database. Section I: iTrust Threats & Vulnerabilities and Countermeasures A detailed analysis of the iTrust database detected several high-risk vulnerabilities that...

There is now an identifiable trend in industry toward downsizing that is replacing expensive mainframe computers with more cost-effective networks of personal computer that achieve the same or even better results. This trend has given rise to the architecture of the Client/Server Computing. The term Client/Server was first used in the 1980s in reference to personal computers on a network. The actual Client/Server model started gaining acceptance in the late 1980s. The term Client/Server is used to describe a computing model for the development of computerized systems. This model is based on the distribution of functions between two types of independent and autonomous entities:...

...the verification systems differ considerable between synthetic data and real data: while the bias is responsible for a large part of classification errors in the synthetic facial data, compensation of the bias in real facial data leads only to marginal improvements. https://www.eff.org/wp/biometrics-whos-watching-you September 14, 2003 September 2003 Introduction Among the many reactions to the September 11 tragedy has been a renewed attention to biometrics. The federal government has led the way with its new concern about border control. Other proposals include the use of biometrics with ID cards and in airports, e.g. video surveillance enhanced by facial-recognition technology. The purpose of this document is to sketch out EFF's concerns about biometrics. In today's public arena, biometric technologies are being marketed as a "silver bullet" for terrorism; however, very little independent, objective scientific testing of biometrics has been done. Deploying biometric systems without sufficient attention to their dangers makes them likely to be used in a way dangerous to civil liberties. This document is very much a work in progress and we welcome comments. What Are Biometrics? Biometrics refers to the automatic identification or identity verification of living persons using their enduring physical or behavioral characteristics. Many body parts, personal characteristics and imaging methods have been suggested and used for biometric systems:...

...SELECT APPLICATION CONTROLS REVIEW OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS’S SENTRY DATABASE SYSTEM U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Audit Division Audit Report 03-25 July 2003 SELECT APPLICATION CONTROLS REVIEW OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS’S SENTRY DATABASE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SENTRY is the Federal Bureau of Prisons’s (BOP) primary mission support database. The system collects, maintains, and tracks critical inmate information, including inmate location, medical history, behavior history, and release data. SENTRY processes over 1 million transactions each day and tracks more than 165,000 inmates. Roughly 85 percent of these inmates are housed within the BOP facilities, with the remaining inmates confined in other government facilities (state or local) or privately operated facilities through contracts with the BOP. As of March 2003, over 24,000 personal computers at approximately 200 facilities could access SENTRY. The purpose of this audit was to assess the application controls for the BOP’s SENTRY database to determine whether inmate data entered in SENTRY is valid, properly authorized, and completely and accurately processed.1 Our criteria for conducting the review was the Federal Information System Controls Audit Manual (FISCAM).2 We reviewed the accuracy and timeliness of SENTRY’s input, processing, and output controls and judgmentally selected 3 of the BOP’s 29 Community Corrections Offices (CCO) to conduct onsite reviews of their operational...

...COMPUTER EDUCATION YEAR 11 2014 Technology and Employment Skills Training Ministry of Education, Fiji. 28th November 2013 Year 11 Computer Education 1 Preface This text book has been written to cater for the new Year 11 Computer Education syllabus trialed in Fiji secondary school for the year 2014. It is a new text book and the first of its kind to be written locally. It is hoped that this book will be useful in implementing the syllabus but it should be understood that it is not the syllabus. The syllabus is the framework for the teacher to follow while this text book is a resource for the student. Therefore departure to other resource materials for more information will be acceptable. The text book is not the perfect piece of work as it has been prepared in a very short time, therefore suggestions for amendments will be welcomed. It is anticipated that this book will minimize the amount of time for teachers in lesson preparation and more time will be devoted to actual classroom teaching and learning. There may be a variety of opinion about the content of the topics, but for the beginner it is the best which gives the time and opportunity to become familiar with the basics before pursuing further into the field of study in greater detail at the upper secondary level Ministry of Education, Suva.

...Openflow Virtual Networking: A FlowBased Network Virtualization Architecture Georgia Kontesidou Kyriakos Zarifis Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2009 TRITA-ICT-EX-2009:205 Openflow Virtual Networking: A Flow-Based Network Virtualization Architecture Master Thesis Report November 2009 Students Kyriakos Zarifis Georgia Kontesidou Examiner Markus Hidell Supervisor Peter Sjödin Telecommunication Systems Laboratory (TSLab) School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden 2 Abstract Network virtualization is becoming increasingly significant as other forms of virtualization constantly evolve. The cost of deploying experimental network topologies, the strict enterprise traffic isolation requirements as well as the increasing processing power requirements for virtualized servers make virtualization a key factor in both the research sector as well as the industry, the enterprise network and the datacenter. The definition of network virtualization as well as its manifestations vary widely and depend on the requirements of the environment in which it is deployed. This works sets the foundation towards a network virtualization framework based on a flow-based controlled network protocol like Openflow. 3 Abstract Så småningom, har nätverk virtualization blivit signifikant. Hög kostnaden för att utveckla experimentella nätverk topologier, noggranna kraven för en effektiv trafik isolering...
