A Cryptographic File System for Unix
Although cryptographic techniques are playing an increasingly important role in modern computing system security, userlevel tools for encrypting file data are cumbersome and suffer from a number of inherent vulnerabilities. The Cryptographic File System (CFS) pushes encryption services into the file system itself. CFS supports secure storage at the system level through a standard Unix file system interface to encrypted files. Users associate a cryptographic key with the directories they wish to protect. Files in these directories (as well as their pathname components) are transparently encrypted and decrypted with the specified key without further user intervention; cleartext is never stored on a disk or sent to a remote file server.

Although UNIX is considered a very stable and secure platform, the development of Intrusion Detection Systems is essential as current and future generations of hackers are continuously attempting to undermine its integrity. There are few intrusion detection systems in UNIX for detecting multiple threats in a distributed networking environment. Researchers have applied different statistical models that involve data fusion. The most common and popular approaches include Bayesian theory, Dempster Shafer Evidence Theory, Parametric and Non-Parametric techniques, and Markov Chain. With few exceptions, almost all these detection models cater only for single threat.

Some few reasons to migrate a Microsoft Windows application to UNIX are scalability, server consolidation, customer demand and other business factors. This white paper investigates the choices available and provides a roadmap to completely migrate from Windows to UNIX and Linux. The scope of this paper is limited to Win32 and VC++ applications utilizing all features of Windows including all of the Win32 API, Registry, COM, and OLE.

Many organizations rely on their Linux and UNIX systems to run mission-critical services and applications. However, controlling who has access to these systems can be extremely difficult, especially when multiple users (i.e., IT administrators, application developers and database administrators) all have full super user rights to root accounts. Since most of these users only need limited access to perform specific functions that require super user privileges, organizations needlessly leave themselves open to security risks and stiff regulatory penalties. To mitigate these risks, Novell Privileged User Manager helps organizations control access to super user and root privileges by giving administrators controlled super user access that enables them to perform their jobs, but without needlessly giving them root account credentials.
