JGUI Bio.Id v1.1

2008-12-10T05:30:00.002+07:00

BIO.ID. is a program for Windows Mobile phones. It displays user identification gate, eye iris, fingerprint, or voice, when the new text message arrives. In other words, it is a new text message notification alert. It replaces the default system notification with much better effects. Plus, a few new functions. Because Windows Mobile phones have not build-in identification sensors, at least for now, in 2008, this is only simulation, only a fake. But it allows you to feel much better, and in some situation to really wow your friend. ...or some accidental observer.

BIO.ID. functions and features:
# 3 themes: eye iris scanner, fingerprint scanner, voice reconizing
# 2 voices: woman, man, to announce messages, or short vibrating without announces
# "You've got message..." repeats after a minute, then every 3 minutes, up to 10 times (to save battery)
# auto-deleting every message marked as Read in Inbox, or when you open some message to read
# delays of deleting: 15 seconds, minute, 15 minutes, one hour, or on the next morning
# modes of deleting: move to Deleted Items folder, or delete completely

While BIO.ID. interface displays on screen:
# first pressing of any button, or quick touching the screen: start to scan
# next one pressing or touching: finish, turn off BIO.ID. interface, and open Inbox
# additional possibility of user action: to omit the scanning mode: quick move on the screen up and down a little,
or quick press up and down navigate buttons: it will bring the Inbox faster without voices

When you use so called: Profiles, or change sound volume down,
BIO.ID. will not play alerts, when you use Silent Profile, or vibrating, or volume set to zero. In opposite it will try to vibrate shortly, if you set any BIO.ID. voice to use.

Additionally, it's recommended to turn-off default notification about New text message.

Elementary Number Theory, Cryptography and Codes

2008-12-10T04:59:00.002+07:00

In this volume one finds basic techniques from algebra and number theory (e.g. congruences, unique factorization domains, finite fields, quadratic residues, primality tests, continued fractions, etc.) which in recent years have proven to be extremely useful for applications to cryptography and coding theory. Both cryptography and codes have crucial applications in our daily lives, and they are described here, while the complexity problems that arise in implementing the related numerical algorithms are also taken into due account. Cryptography has been developed in great detail, both in its classical and more recent aspects. In particular public key cryptography is extensively discussed, the use of algebraic geometry, specifically of elliptic curves over finite fields, is illustrated, and a final chapter is devoted to quantum cryptography, which is the new frontier of the field. Coding theory is not discussed in full; however a chapter, sufficient for a good introduction to the subject, has been devoted to linear codes. Each chapter ends with several complements and with an extensive list of exercises, the solutions to most of which are included in the last chapter.

Though the book contains advanced material, such as cryptography on elliptic curves, Goppa codes using algebraic curves over finite fields, and the recent AKS polynomial primality test, the authors' objective has been to keep the exposition as self-contained and elementary as possible. Therefore the book will be useful to students and researchers, both in theoretical (e.g. mathematicians) and in applied sciences (e.g. physicists, engineers, computer scientists, etc.) seeking a friendly introduction to the important subjects treated here. The book will also be useful for teachers who intend to give courses on these topics.

It would be a daunting task to put together a book to cover all areas of information security into a single, comprehensive reference work. Perhaps that is why it has not been done. Until now. On December 30, 2006, John Wiley and Sons will release the Handbook of Information Security (2005, Edited by Hossein Bidgoli et al, 3366 pages). With contributions from 240 contributors and extensive peer review by over 1,000 others, this book should be the definitive reference manual that sits in the office of every information technology auditor, as well as every information technology security professional who needs information without extensive digging. In fact this three volume set might easily replace many other security titles that have not been through as extensive a peer review process.

This is not to say that information may quickly become dated as technology evolves (and as I found in one section on instant messaging). This being said, this initial review will provide an overview and synopsis of Volume I: Key Concepts, Infrastructure, Standards, and Protocols.

As such, the book has a heavy dependency on UML (version 1.4). The authors aim to give the reader a basic understanding of component architectures and associated technologies, and how these component architectures and technologies are applied in the context of systematic development, specifically the Rational Unified Process. The reader will learn a set of proven best practices, guidelines, and standards that apply to systems development. It will reflect the next version of RUP which is scheduled for release during in 2002. This version of RUP will be a considerable departure from the current version.

Model-Checking Based Data Retrieval: An Application to Semistructured and Temporal Data

2008-12-05T06:08:00.001+07:00

This book is devoted to the study of the semantics and assuring the efficient execution of database query languages, where the database contains semistructured and time-varying information.

The primary focus of the work presented is the definition of an effective graph-based approach to the formalization of query languages for semistructured and temporal information; as a result, query execution can be reduced to searching the database for subgraphs that are similar to the given query graph and thus can be supported through bisimualtion. By integrating and refining graph-based methods and bisimulation, the author develops a powerful and flexible paradigm. The second research challenge solved is that of efficient implementation by modeling graphical queries as formulas in modal logic and interpreting database instance graphs as Kripke transition systems.

The Myth of Homeland Security By Marcus Ranum

2008-12-03T05:53:00.002+07:00

Critical Thinking About True Homeland Defense, this book explains what's wrong with today's homeland security policy and why it might (or might not) be fixable

"As I write this, I'm sitting in a restaurant in a major U.S. airport, eating my breakfast with a plastic knife and fork. I worked up quite an appetite getting here two hours early and shuffling in the block-long lines until I got to the security checkpoint where I could take off my shoes, remove my belt, and put my carry-on luggage through the screening system"

"What's going on? It's homeland security. Welcome to the new age of knee-jerk security at any price. Well, I've paid, and you've paid, and we'll all keep paying-but is it going to help? Have we embarked on a massive multibillion-dollar boondoggle that's going to do nothing more than make us feel more secure? Are we paying nosebleed prices for "feel-good" measures?

"This book was painful to write. By nature, I am a problem solver. Professionally I have made my career out of solving complex problems efficiently by trying to find the right place to push hard and make a difference. Researching the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, CIA, INS, the PATRIOT Act, and so forth, one falls into a rabbit's hole of interdependent lameness and dysfunction. I came face to face with the realization that there are gigantic bureaucracies that exist primarily for the sole purpose of prolonging their existence, that the very structure of bureaucracy rewards inefficiency and encourages territorialism and turf warfare."

Packed with vivid stories and examples, this book exposes the bad ideas that have already been implemented in the government' s efforts to develop new procedures for airline security, to stop terrorists from hacking into secret databases, and to communicate with the public about threats. He demonstrates how current policies downplay low-tech threats and social engineering, focus on immigration while overlooking the "nuts" already among us, ignore dangerous defects in the government's own computer security, and are hampered by interagency bickering and corporate self-dealing.
He then presents ideas for change, but argues that homeland security will always be a matter of degree, and not an absolute. This is a problem that is by its nature insolvable, but which at the same time cannot be ignored. Writing with anger, honesty, and true patriotism, Ranum reveals the truth about "feel-good" security policies and boondoggle spending programs that mask real threats and do nothing tangible to improve public safety.

Among the topics explored:
Politics that hamper homeland securityInadequate security used to protect government computer systems
Continuing problems with airlinesecurity
The role of the media in creating panic
The threat of cyber weapons to launch an electronic Pearl Harbor attack
The costly misuse of technology Pervasive problems with government information technology and how they leave us vulnerable to attack

The First Electronic Computer: The Atanasoff Story

2008-12-03T05:42:00.001+07:00

Tells of the design, construction, and subsequent controversy over the first special-purpose electronic computer

If you have heard something like "Atanasoff computer, or Atanasoff-Berry Machine was never built", or "ABC machine was not a computer", then the best thing you should do is to consult this book. It will tell you everything about the ABC machine, including technical details. An exact replica of the original ABC machine was built in 1997, and the team for this project consulted this book, and the authors.
This book tells the story of Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff (a Bulgarian name). Dr. Atanasoff was native born in Hamilton, New York, 1903. He is credited by court decision in 1973 with the invention of the computer. The case in dispute was between Honeywell and Sperry Rand for claims of the computer invention. If either party have prevailed, the winner might have had patent rights. IBM was worried and introduced JV (as he was called) who showed that he had invented the computer at Iowa State in 1938 when he was in the mathematics department (JV was a 1930 PhD in physics from the University of Wisconsin). The computer invented belonged to JV and his assistant, Charles Berry (hence the name ABC = Atanasoff Berry Computer). There were several versions built, some in 1939 and in 1940.

This book also contains many quotations from the ENIAC patent trial, and you can check yourself the credibility of Atanasoff and Mauchly, and also the credibility of the Judge Larson. Anyone who denounces the ABC machine is either a fake or ignorant; they either ignore this book, or did not read this monumental book.

ENIAC owed much to Dr. Atanasoff as Mauchly saw the ABC in visits to Iowa State. Some visits were for several days ("for the better part of a week" was JV's court testimony). Programming and program languages were not part of JV contribution. Dr. Mauchly's own testimony as reproduced in the book shows he grudgedly agreed that he owed ideas and examples to others.

The original case was filed in 1968 as Honeywell v. Sperry Rand and Illinois Scientific Developments. Among the almost 100 issues pushed by Honeywell and the ENIAC, the judge, Earl R. Larsen, ruled "Eckert and Mauchly did not themselves first invent the automatic electronic digital computer, but instead derived that subject matter from one Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff". Other equally strong language was used to assert that JV and Berry held nothing back concerning the machine's theory, design, construction, use or operation; that Mauchly went to Ames Iowa and had correspondence with Atanasoff.

Judge Larsen's decision was not appealed by anyone. A blessing to us all.

Dr. Atanasoff did not realize until late in life that he had done something tremedous. He retired wealthy but not from his computer invention.

The Codebreakers: The Comprehensive History of Secret Communication from Ancient Times to the Internet

2008-11-23T06:43:00.001+07:00

"Few false ideas have more firmly gripped the minds of so many intelligent men than the one that, if they just tried, they could invent a cipher that no one could break," writes David Kahn in this massive (almost 1,200 pages) volume. Most of The Codebreakers focuses on the 20th century, especially World War II. But its reach is long. Kahn traces cryptology's origins to the advent of writing. It seems that as soon as people learned how to record their thoughts, they tried to figure out ways of keeping them hidden. Kahn covers everything from the theory of ciphering to the search for "messages" from outer space. He concludes with a few thoughts about encryption on the Internet.

Internet Security: Cryptographic Principles, Algorithms and Protocols

2008-11-23T06:40:00.001+07:00

Cryptography is the key to securing the Internet. If every communication network were to use a secure system based on encryption, then viruses, worms and hackers would have a very hard time. Unfortunately, this scenario does not reflect the reality of the Internet world today. However, with security issues becoming more and more important internationally, engineers of the future will be required to design tougher, safer systems. This book takes a long-term view. It is not a 'how-to' implementation guide for today's practitioners. It is a training text for the engineers of the future. Features: Detailed discussion of block cipher design principles, including coverage of IDEA, RC5, RC6, Triple DES and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Information on hash functions and message digests, including the latest protocols for digital signature, authentication and key-sharing HMAC. Expanded coverage of public-key encryption/signature algorithms, including Diffie-Hellman secret key exchange, RSA, ElGamal, Schnorr, DSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). Profiles for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) <> Complete and detailed guides to the entire TCP/IP protocol suite IPsec for network-layer security PGP and S/MIME for e-mail security SSL/TLS for transport-layer security. Firewalls for trusted systems SET security protocols used in the smart card. As well as providing an in-depth introduction to relevant cryptographic principles, algorithms and protocols, Internet Security links them to the technologies in use on the Internet today. State-of-the-art analyses of IETF standards plus summaries and explanations of RFC documents, numerous examples and a list of frequently used acronyms make this book a comprehensive and valuable reference for students, researchers and professional engineers alike - anyone engaged in the long-term development of secure systems.

Remote Sensing: The Image Chain Approach

2008-11-22T08:01:00.001+07:00

Remote Sensing deals with the fundamental ideas underlying the rapidly growing field of remote sensing. John Schott explores energy-matter interaction, radiation propagation, data dissemination, and described the tools and procedures required to extract information from remotely sensed data using the image chain approach. Organizations and individuals often focus on one aspect of the remote sensing process before considering it as a whole, thus investigating unjustified effort, time, and expense to get minimal improvement. Unlike other books on the subject, Remote Sensing treats the process as a continuous flow.

Schott examines the limitations obstructing the flow of information to the user, employing numerous applications of remote sensing to earth observation disciplines. For this second edition, in addition to a thorough update, there are major changes and additions, such as a much more complete treatment of spectroscopic imaging, which has matured dramatically in the last ten years, and a more rigorous treatment of image processing with an emphasis on spectral image processing algorithms. Remote Sensing is an ideal first text in remote sensing for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the physical or engineering sciences, and will also serve as a valuable reference for practitioners

Evolutionary Intelligence: An Introduction to Theory and Applications with Matlab

2008-11-22T07:53:00.002+07:00

This book gives a good introduction to evolutionary computation for those who are first entering the field and are looking for insight into the underlying mechanisms behind them. Emphasizing the scientific and machine learning applications of genetic algorithms instead of applications to optimization and engineering, the book could serve well in an actual course on adaptive algorithms. The authors include excellent problem sets, these being divided up into "thought exercises" and "computer exercises" in genetic algorithm. Practical use of genetic algorithms demands an understanding of how to implement them, and the authors do so in the last two chapters of the book by giving the applications in various fields.

This book also outlines some ideas on when genetic algorithms and genetic programming should be used, and this is useful since a newcomer to the field may be tempted to view a genetic algorithm as merely a fancy Monte Carlo simulation. The most difficult part of using a genetic algorithm is how to encode the population, and the authors discuss various ways to do this. Various "exotic" approaches to improve the performance of genetic algorithms are also discussed such as the "messy" genetic algorithms, adaptive genetic algorithm and hybrid genetic algorithm.

Fortran 90/95 Explained

2008-11-16T05:33:00.001+07:00

The success of Fortran as the predominant language in the field of scientific and numerical computing is due, in part, to its steady evolution. Following the publication of standards in 1966, 1977 and 1991, the committee responsible for their development, J3, worked in conjunction with an ISO committee to enhance Fortran 90, as the 1991 standard was known, creating Fortran 95. Fortran 95 was published in 1997, and, in addition to Fortran 90's new features for array processing, abstract data types, modules, and pointers, it contains additional features to keep it aligned with High Performance Fortran, as well as some minor enhancements. This volume represents a revision of the first edition of Fortran 90/95 Explained.

The Fortran 95 material is now fully integrated with that of Fortran 90, while maintaining a clear distinction between the two language levels. Chapters on enhanced data type facilities and floating-point exception handling, two optional enhancements to Fortran 95, have been added. It is a complete and authoritative description of Fortran 90/95, and is intended for new and existing users, and for all those involved in scientific and numerical computing.

In the 1950s when the type of computer to swell start the creation of super computer, a computer must serve several terminals. (See Figure 1.4) To found the concept of the distribution process, based on the time known by the name of TSS (Time Sharing System), and for the first time terbentuklah network (network) in the computer application layer. In some TSS system terminals connected to a host computer. In the process of TSS begin looking mix of computer technology and telecommunication technology, which initially developed its own. In 1957 Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was established by the Department of Defense (DoD), USA, 1967 design from the early ARPANET was published and 1969 DoD undertake the development of ARPANET with the research to a number of computer network so that the organic form (the program is known by the name ARPANET).

Furthermore, when computer prices have already started a small decrease and the concept of the distribution process is done, then the use of computers and networks have started a variety, from the start to handle the process together and communication between computers (Peer to Peer System) without a computer through the control center. To start developing the local network technology, known as a LAN. Similarly, when the Internet started to be introduced, most LANs are self-start related to one another, to the network Cyclopian terbentuklah WAN.
