Exposing Potential Privacy Issues With Ipv6 Address Construction, Clinton Carpene, Andrew Woodward
Exposing Potential Privacy Issues With Ipv6 Address Construction, Clinton Carpene, Andrew Woodward
Clinton Carpene
The usage of 128 bit addresses with hexadecimal representation in IPv6 poses significant potential privacy issues. This paper discusses the means of allocating IPv6 addresses, along with the implications each method may have upon privacy in different usage scenarios. The division of address space amongst the global registries in a hierarchal fashion can provide geographical information about the location of an address, and its originating device. Many IPv6 address configuration methods are available, including DHCPv6, SLAAC (with or without privacy extensions), and Manual assignment. These assignment techniques are dissected to expose the identifying characteristics of each technique. It is seen …

Securing The Elderly: A Developmental Approach To Hypermedia-Based Online Information Security For Senior Novice Computer Users, David Cook, Patryk Szewczyk, Krishnun Sansurooah

Whilst security threats to the general public continue to evolve, elderly computer users with limited skill and knowledge are left playing catch-up in an ever-widening gap in fundamental cyber-related comprehension. As a definable cohort, the elderly generally lack awareness of current security threats, and remain under-educated in terms of applying appropriate controls and safeguards to their computers and networking devices. This paper identifies that web-based computer security information sources do not adequately provide helpful information to senior citizen end-users in terms of both design and content.

We explore HRIS and e-HR security by presenting information security fundamentals and how they pertain to organizations. With increasing use of enterprise systems such as HRIS and e-HR, security of such systems is an area that is worthy of further exploration. Even then, there is surprisingly little research in this area, albeit that extensive work is present in regard to HRIS privacy. While focusing on HRIS and e-HR security, we introduce aspects of HRIS and e-HR security and how it can be enhanced in organizations. A research model is also presented along with propositions that can guide future research.
