whitepaper IBM DB2 Anonymous Resolution: Knowledge Discovery Without Knowledge Disclosure2005-10-25 03:00:03
  Sharing information about identities (e.g., individuals, employees or customers) is an effective tool for discovering knowledge and increasing the effectiveness and economy of public and private programs and initiatives. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the utility of IBM's DB2 Anonymous Resolution software, a new solution for de-identifying personally identifiable information assets. This paper will examine the potential of this technological breakthrough to reduce trust-based risks and change the way organizations reach a harmonious balance between consumer privacy and information sharing.   
whitepaper ATMs: How to improve operational efficiency while reducing costs2006-08-03 11:48:35 Hewlett-Packard
  From phasing out OS/2 in favor of Windows to complying with regulatory measures such as the Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), the physical, technical, and business requirements for automated teller machines (ATMs) are changing. This white paper from HP highlights the key reasons why banks and other financial services institutions (FSIs) are seeking newer, more robust ATM solutions that can help them optimize the self-service channel. The paper goes on to explain how HP OpenView solutions are enabling today's FSIs to:
• Reduce ATM maintenance and support costs
• Enhance security and regulatory compliance
• Expand revenue opportunities and gain a competitive advantage 		  
whitepaper Preserving OEM Pre-Activation When Re-Installing Windows XP2005-08-11 03:00:02
  In order to reduce a significant source of piracy, Microsoft has disabled online activation for COA Keys that are attached to PCs that have been pre-activated by OEMs. This change should have a minimal impact on licensed users who generally do not use their COA Key to activate the software because it has been pre-activated by the OEM. To help minimize the potential impact on licensed users, this whitepaper provides steps licensed end users can take to preserve OEM pre-activation when reinstalling the operating system using any of the four scenarios outlined (sysprep, OOBEinfo, manual and unattended).   
whitepaper Governance Characteristics of Information Technology2005-08-30 03:00:02
  Regulation through information technologies is growing in importance. Policymakers are addressing societal concerns such as privacy, freedom of speech, and intellectual property protection through the design of information technology. While scholars have noted the power of information technologies, there is little analysis of how people are affected or regulated by information technology. This paper builds upon structuration theory to provide a theoretically informed analysis of how information technologies affect individuals. The paper then examines two governance characteristics that policymakers may use to ensure information technology comports with societal concerns.   
whitepaper Understanding the Implications of SOX to SOA2005-06-08 13:33:43
  While a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) conveniently allows applications built on Web services to access other applications without using human intermediates, such robust capabilities can complicate compliance with the identity and access controls mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). The financial controls and reporting required by section 404 of SOX are forcing companies to rethink how they govern their IT processes. SOX requires identity and access infrastructure that can both control and validate user-machine interactions as well as SOA-based machine-machine interactions. Download this on-demand webcast featuring Layer 7's Senior Product Manager Philip Walston to learn how your existing identity and access management investment can be leveraged to achieve SOX compliance in your SOA application environment.   
whitepaper A Key Recovery Attack on the 802.11b Wired Equivalent Privacy Protocol (WEP)2005-10-20 03:00:02
  This paper presents a practical key recovery attack on WEP, the link-layer security protocol for 802.11b wireless networks. The attack is based on a partial key exposure vulnerability in the RC4 stream cipher discovered by Fluhrer, Mantin, and Shamir. This paper describes how to apply this aw to breaking WEP, our implementation of the attack, and optimizations that can be used to reduce the number of packets required for the attack. It concludes that the 802.11b WEP standard is completely insecure, and it provides recommendations on how this vulnerability could be mitigated and repaired.   
whitepaper Sun Delivers Scalable, Secure Web Site for Reporting Child Pornography2005-11-03 01:00:03 Sun Microsystems
  Based in Alexandria, Virginia, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is a private, nonprofit organization focused on helping parents, children, law enforcement, schools and the community bring missing children home and help prevent child abduction, molestation and sexual exploitation. NCMEC's challenges were to Provide information privacy and security, Meet aggressive development milestones, and Increase system and application scalability. NCMEC selected Sun hardware with Solaris 8 Operating Environment for the Web site's foundation, and called on Computer Associates to assist with software development and architectural design.

whitepaper Privacy-Invasive Software in File-Sharing Tools2006-04-13 05:04:57
  Personal privacy is affected by the occurrence of adware and spyware in peer-to-peer tools. In an experiment presented in this paper, five file-sharing tools are investigated and found that they all contained ad-/spyware programs, and, that these hidden components communicated with several servers on the Internet. Although there was no exchange of files by way of the file-sharing tools, they generated a significant amount of network traffic. Amongst the retrieved ad-/spyware programs that communicated with the Internet, it was discovered that privacy-invasive information such as, e.g., user data and Internet browsing history was transmitted. In conclusion, ad-/spyware activity in file-sharing tools creates serious problems not only to user privacy and security, but also to network and system performance.
