Case Study On An Investigation Of Information Security Management Among Law Firms, Sameera Mubarak, Elena Sitnikova
Case Study On An Investigation Of Information Security Management Among Law Firms, Sameera Mubarak, Elena Sitnikova
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The integrity of lawyers trust accounts as come under scrutiny in the last few years. There have been many incidents of trust account fraud reported internationally, including a case in Australia, where an employee of a law firm stole $4,500,000 from the trust funds of forty-two clients. Our study involved interviewing principles of ten law companies to find out solicitors’ attitudes to computer security and the possibility of breaches of their trust accounts. An overall finding highlights that law firms were not current with technology to combat computer crime, and inadequate access control was a major concern in safeguarding account …

Universal Design, Education And Technology, Ciaran O'Leary, Damian Gordon
9th. IT & T Conference
Universal Design is an approach to design which insists upon the consideration of users with diverse levels of ability. Rather than representing a specialist approach to design, it is recognised that Universal Design results in a better design for all. Furthermore, by isolating design for disability as an independent topic in education, or ignoring it altogether, educators create an exclusionist perception of the role and place of individuals with disability in modern society. Modern education programmes which teach design skills are enhanced in quality by mainstreaming Universal Design as a core topic, permeating all that surrounds it. This paper describes …
Geometric Characterization Of Digital Objects: Algorithms And Applications To Image Analysis., Arindam Biswas Dr.
Geometric Characterization Of Digital Objects: Algorithms And Applications To Image Analysis., Arindam Biswas Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Several problems of characterizing a digital object, and particularly, those related to boundary description, have been studied in this thesis. New algorithms and their applications to various aspects of image analysis and retrieval have been reported. A combinatorial technique for constructing the outer and inner isothetic covers of a digital object has been developed. The resolution of the background 2D grid can be changed by varying the grid spacing, and this procedure can be used to extract shape and topological information about the object. Next, an algorithm has been designed for constructing the orthogonal (convex) hull of a digital object …
Normal Surfaces And Heegaard Splittings Of 3-Manifolds., Tejas Kalelkar Dr.
Normal Surfaces And Heegaard Splittings Of 3-Manifolds., Tejas Kalelkar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
This thesis deals with various questions regarding normal surfaces and Heegaard splittings of 3-manifolds.Chapter 1The first chapter is divided into two parts. In the first, we give an outline of normal surface theory and mention some of its important applications. The second part gives an overview of the theory of Heegaard splitting surfaces and a few of its applications. None of the material covered in this chapter is original and it is meant solely as an exposition of known results.Chapter 2In this chapter, we give a lower bound on the Euler characteristic of a normal surface, a topological invariant, in …
Kiwivault: Encryption Software For Portable Storage Devices, Trevor Bradshaw Florence
Kiwivault: Encryption Software For Portable Storage Devices, Trevor Bradshaw Florence
Theses and Dissertations
While many people use USB flash drives, most do not protect their stored documents. Solutions for protecting flash drives exist but inherently limit functionality found in unprotected drives such as portability, usability, and the ability to share documents between multiple people. In addition, other drawbacks are introduced such as the possibility of losing access to protected documents if a password is lost. Assuming protecting portable documents is important, in order for people to be willing to protect their documents they should be required to make as few sacrifices in functionality as possible. We introduce KiwiVault, a USB flash drive encryption …

Networks - Ii: Overhead Analysis Of Security Implementation Using Ipsec, Muhammad Awais Azam, Zaka -Ul- Mustafa, Usman Tahir, S. M. Ahsan, Muhammad Adnan Naseem, Imran Rashid, Muhammad Adeel
International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
Authentication, access control, encryption and auditing make up the essential elements of network security. Researchers have dedicated a large amount of efforts to implement security features that fully incorporate the use of all these elements. Currently, data networks mainly provide authentication and confidentiality services. Confidentiality alone is not able to protect the system, thus, suitable security measures must be taken. However, this security is itself an overhead which must be accounted for. A trade-off must exist between performance and security. This trade-off must be carefully managed so as not to deteriorate the systems being secured. This calls for the true …

Artificial Intelligence – I: Subjective Decision Making Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Advisor, Owais Malik
International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
In this paper, we present and compare two-stage type-2 fuzzy logic advisor (FLA) for subjective decision making in the domain of students' performance evaluation. We test our proposed model for evaluating students' performance in our computer science and engineering department at HBCC/KFUPM in two domains namely cooperating training and capstone/senior project assessment where we find these FLAs very useful and promising. In our proposed model, the assessment criteria for different components of cooperative training and senior project are transformed into linguistic labels and evaluation information is extracted into the form of IF-THEN rules from the experts. These rules are modeled …

In everyday life, there arise many situations where two parties, sender and receiver, need to communicate. The channel through which they communicate is assumed to be binary symmetric, that is, it changes 0 to 1 and vice versa with equal probability. At the receiver’s end, the sent message has to be recovered from the corrupted received word using some reasonable mechanism. This real life problem has attracted a lot of research in the past few decades. A solution to this problem is obtained by adding redundancy in a systematic manner to the message to construct a codeword. The collection of …

Image And Video Compression Using Block Truncation Coding And Pattern Fitting For Fast Decoding., Bibhas Chandra Dhara Dr.
Doctoral Theses
In the present era of multimedia, the requirement of image/video storage and transmission for video conferencing, image and video retrieval, video playback, etc. are increasing exponentially. As a result, the need for better compression technology is always in demand. The limited bandwidth of internet also asks for transmission of desired objects only. Progressive image transmission provides such facilities, where transmission is done in steps and the transmission of undesired image can be stopped at an early stage. Modern applications, in addition to high compression ratio, also demand for efficient encoding and decoding processes, so that computational constraint of many real-time …

The World Wide Web [12] (usually referred to as the Web, WWW or W3) is an enormous collection of data available over the Internet, which is a vast network of computers. It was created in the year 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee, while he worked at CERN, Switzerland, and was made available over the Internet in 1991. The World Wide Web Consortium [136] authoritatively defines the Web as the universe of network-accessible information, the embodiment of human knowledge. The Web consists of objects, also called documents or pages in a generic sense, that are identified using a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), …

Placement And Range Assignment In Power-Aware Radio Networks., Gautam Kumar Das Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Due to the extraordinary growth of demand in mobile communication facility, design of efficient systems for providing specialized services has become an important issue in wireless mobility research. Broadly speaking, there are two major models for wireless networking: single-hop and multi-hop. The single-hop model [110] is based on the cellular network, and it provides one-hop wireless connectivity between the host and the static nodes known as base stations. single-hop networks rely on a fixed backbone infrastructure that interconnects all the base stations by high speed wired links. On the other hand, the multi-hop model requires neither fixed wired infrastructure nor …
