Palomuurin ja virustorjunnan lokitiedostojen analysointi Windows-ympäristössä

Analysis of firewall and antivirus log files without any kind of log analysis tool could be very difficult for normal computer user. In log files every event is organized according to time, but reading those with understanding without any kind of log analysis tool requires expert knowledge. In this Bachelor’s Thesis I put together a software packet for normal private computer user and this software packet allows user to analyze log files in Windows environment without any additional effort. Most of the private computer users don’t have much of experience about computers and data security so this Bachelor’s Thesis can be also used as a manual for analysis tool used in this work.

Web Archiving in Finland. Memorandum for the members of the CDNL

This report describes web archiving in the National Library of Finland. The National Library of Finland has been archiving Finnish web on a regular basis since 2006. Web archiving is an important part of the Library'ʹs endeavours to collect and preserve Finnish published cultural heritage. In 2010, the amount of harvested data was 200 million files, or 25 Terabytes. The report takes the reader through the relevant legislation; internal plans and policies; funding and their allocation; the practices of web archiving; arrangements for the use of the archive; and issues rising from data security, sensitive materials, &c.

ICT for growth: a targeted approach. Bruegel Policy Contribution 2012/10, June 2012

This Policy Contribution assesses the broad obstacles hampering ICT-led growth in Europe and identifies the main areas in which policy could unlock the greatest value. We review estimates of the value that could be generated through take-up of various technologies and carry out a broad matching with policy areas. According to the literature survey and the collected estimates, the areas in which the right policies could unlock the greatest ICT-led growth are product and labour market regulations and the European Single Market. These areas should be reformed to make European markets more flexible and competitive. This would promote wider adoption of modern data-driven organisational and management practices thereby helping to close the productivity gap between the United States and the European Union. Gains could also be made in the areas of privacy, data security, intellectual property and liability pertaining to the digital economy, especially cloud computing, and next generation network infrastructure investment. Standardisation and spectrum allocation issues are found to be important, though to a lesser degree. Strong complementarities between the analysed technologies suggest, however, that policymakers need to deal with all of the identified obstacles in order to fully realise the potential of ICT to spur long-term growth beyond the partial gains that we report.

The state of veterinary epidemiology and economics

Recent developments in the fields of veterinary epidemiology and economics are critically reviewed and assessed. The impacts of recent technological developments in diagnosis, genetic characterisation, data processing and statistical analysis are evaluated. It is concluded that the acquisition and availability of data remains the principal constraint to the application of available techniques in veterinary epidemiology and economics, especially at population level. As more commercial producers use computerised management systems, the availability of data for analysis within herds is improving. However, consistency of recording and diagnosis remains problematic. Recent trends to the development of national livestock databases intended to provide reassurance to consumers of the safety and traceability of livestock products are potentially valuable sources of data that could lead to much more effective application of veterinary epidemiology and economics. These opportunities will be greatly enhanced if data from different sources, such as movement recording, official animal health programmes, quality assurance schemes, production recording and breed societies can be integrated. However, in order to realise such integrated databases, it will be necessary to provide absolute control of user access to guarantee data security and confidentiality. The potential applications of integrated livestock databases in analysis, modelling, decision-support, and providing management information for veterinary services and livestock producers are discussed.

Timing attack di Paul C. Kocher: attacco al sistema di sicurezza RSA mediante strumenti di statistica

In questa tesi ho voluto descrivere il Timing Attack al sistema crittografico RSA, il suo funzionamento, la teoria su cui si basa, i suoi punti di forza e i punti deboli. Questo particolare tipo di attacco informatico fu presentato per la prima volta da Paul C. Kocher nel 1996 all’“RSA Data Security and CRYPTO conferences”. Nel suo articolo “Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems” l’autore svela una nuova possibile falla nel sistema RSA, che non dipende da debolezze del crittosistema puramente matematiche, ma da un aspetto su cui nessuno prima di allora si era mai soffermato: il tempo di esecuzione delle operazioni crittografiche. Il concetto è tanto semplice quanto geniale: ogni operazione in un computer ha una certa durata. Le variazioni dei tempi impiegati per svolgere le operazioni dal computer infatti, necessariamente dipendono dal tipo di algoritmo e quindi dalle chiavi private e dal particolare input che si è fornito. In questo modo, misurando le variazioni di tempo e usando solamente strumenti statistici, Kocher mostra che è possibile ottenere informazioni sull’implementazione del crittosistema e quindi forzare RSA e altri sistemi di sicurezza, senza neppure andare a toccare l’aspetto matematico dell’algoritmo. Di centrale importanza per questa teoria diventa quindi la statistica. Questo perché entrano in gioco molte variabili che possono influire sul tempo di calcolo nella fase di decifrazione: - La progettazione del sistema crittografico - Quanto impiega la CPU ad eseguire il processo - L’algoritmo utilizzato e il tipo di implementazione - La precisione delle misurazioni - Ecc. Per avere più possibilità di successo nell’attaccare il sistema occorre quindi fare prove ripetute utilizzando la stessa chiave e input differenti per effettuare analisi di correlazione statistica delle informazioni di temporizzazione, fino al punto di recuperare completamente la chiave privata. Ecco cosa asserisce Kocher: “Against a vulnerable system, the attack is computationally inexpensive and often requires only known ciphertext.”, cioè, contro sistemi vulnerabili, l’attacco è computazionalmente poco costoso e spesso richiede solo di conoscere testi cifrati e di ottenere i tempi necessari per la loro decifrazione.

Distributed Repositories for Educational Content

As education providers increasingly integrate digital learning media into their education processes, the need for the systematic management of learning materials and learning arrangements becomes clearer. Digital repositories, often called Learning Object Repositories (LOR), promise to provide an answer to this challenge. This article is composed of two parts. In this part, we derive technological and pedagogical requirements for LORs from a concretization of information quality criteria for e-learning technology. We review the evolution of learning object repositories and discuss their core features in the context of pedagogical requirements, information quality demands, and e-learning technology standards. We conclude with an outlook in Part 2, which presents concrete technical solutions, in particular networked repository architectures.

Distributed Repositories for Educational Content

In Part 1 of this article we discussed the need for information quality and the systematic management of learning materials and learning arrangements. Digital repositories, often called Learning Object Repositories (LOR), were introduced as a promising answer to this challenge. We also derived technological and pedagogical requirements for LORs from a concretization of information quality criteria for e-learning technology. This second part presents technical solutions that particularly address the demands of open education movements, which aspire to a global reuse and sharing culture. From this viewpoint, we develop core requirements for scalable network architectures for educational content management. We then present edu-sharing, an advanced example of a network of homogeneous repositories for learning resources, and discuss related technology. We conclude with an outlook in terms of emerging developments towards open and networked system architectures in e-learning.
