Distributed intrusion detection trust management through integrity and expertise evaluation

Information sharing and collaboration has facilitated decision accuracy and reaction time in many applications. Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems (DIDS) solutions are one of such applications that have dramatically been transformed. This is mainly due to increasing number of attacks as well as sophisticated nature of today's intrusions. Moreover, it has been shown that various critical components of a system can be targeted. This is further exasperated by the fact that most DIDS models do not consider attacks that targets the collaborative network itself. We specifically find this issue to be very critical and hence in this paper we propose a trust aware DIDS simulation model that is capable of categorizing each participating IDS expertise (i.e. speciality and competence), therefore helps collaborating organizations to consult our simulation model for choosing the right candidate for any type of intrusion. We call our proposed DIDS model Consultative Trusted Computing-based Collaborative IDS (CTC IDS). We utilize the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for integrity evaluation and to fine-tune peer evaluation

Community Input on an Enhanced Care Planning Tool Addressing Health Behaviors, Mental Health Needs, and Social Risks

Background: Many patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) have social risks, mental health needs, and/or unhealthy behaviors. These interfere with their ability to manage their MCC. A care planning tool was created to help address these needs; this study solicited feedback from stakeholder groups and incorporated it into improving the tool. Methods: Instrument: The Enhanced Care Planning (ECP) tool screens patients for social risks, mental health needs, and unhealthy behaviors. They are shown where their responses revealed risk, then select 1-2 to improve upon. Next, patients set personal goals and select strategies to support them. Patients are supported by the clinical care team and a community health worker to connect them to community resources. Procedures: Four stakeholder groups provided feedback on the ECP tool: community members, community service professionals (CSPs), researchers, and patients. A community review board of community members reviewed the ECP process. Researchers and CSPs then reviewed ECP content. Feedback was incorporated into revisions of the ECP content and process, then patients provided final feedback. Results: All stakeholder groups provided unique feedback. Community members desired visuals, the ability to individualize and receive support throughout the process. Researchers and CSPs recommended removing jargon. While researchers were interested in specific evidence-based strategies, CSPs suggested strategies with anecdotal support. Patients expressed positive overall impressions of the tool, interest in using it, and increased awareness of domains that influence their health. Conclusion: Feedback from all groups significantly altered the ECP tool’s design, and is likely to improve its usability and impact.https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/gradposters/1109/thumbnail.jp

ENGLISH TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS USING GAMES AT “PERMATA HATI” PLAY GROUP WONOGIRI

The objectives of this research are to describe the English teaching-learning processusinggames and also the strengths and the weaknesses of it. Thisresearch was undertaken in Permata Hati Play group Wonogiri. The subjects of the research are the teacher and the group B (Bulan) students of Permata Hati Play Group. There were 21 students in group B. The writer collected the data of the research through observation, field notes, and interview. The result of the data analysis shows that in teaching-learning process the teachers always opened with greeting, then continued by classroom activities such as games, and the last is closed by greeting. In the classroom the teachers and the student show a good interaction. There is a cheerful circumstance. The children followed the classroom activities enthusiastically and if the children get difficulties the teachers always help them. There were also some strengths and the weaknesses of English t eaching- learning process using games. Those strengths are the teacher was behaving energetically, clearly, encouragingly, and fairly. In games, the children also have a high interest in following the activities, they were motivated to be active and to compete fairly, they could learn while playing, and the circumstance is relaxed, cheerful and enjoyable. Besides that, all of the children had opportunity to be active in the following the games. The weaknesses of games are the teachers need an extra energy, n eed an extra patience to handle the children during the games, and the teachers always help and guide the children continually. Besides that games are also a time consuming activities. In doing the games some of the children are not serious and easily felt bored. The writer concludes that the English teaching-learning process using games at Permata Hati Play Group runs well. Although the English subject is not the part of curriculum from the institution but the classroom activities are effective. The children can absorb the materials well and have a good result

Determination of electric field, magnetic field, and electric current distributions of infrared optical antennas: A nano-optical vector network analyzer

In addition to the electric field E(r), the associated magnetic field H(r) and current density J(r) characterize any electromagnetic device, providing insight into antenna coupling and mutual impedance. We demonstrate the optical analogue of the radio frequency vector network analyzer implemented in interferometric homodyne scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) for obtaining E(r), H(r), and J(r). The approach is generally applicable and demonstrated for the case of a linear coupled-dipole antenna in the mid-infrared. The determination of the underlying 3D vector electric near-field distribution E(r) with nanometer spatial resolution and full phase and amplitude information is enabled by the design of probe tips with selectivity with respect to E-parallel and E-perpendicular fabricated by focused ion-beam milling and nano-CVD

Towards a new framework for TPM compliance testing

Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has proposed the Trusted Computing (TC) concept. Subsequently, TC becomes a common base for many new computing platforms, called Trusted Platform (TP) architecture (hardware and software) that, practically, has a built-in trusted hardware component mounted at the hardware layer and a corresponding trusted software component installed at the operating system level. The trusted hardware component is called Trusted Platform Module (TPM) whose specification has been issued by TCG group and it is implemented by the industry as a tamper- resistant integrated circuit. In practice, the security of an IT TPM-enabled system relies on the correctness of its mounted TPM. Thus, TPM testing is urgently needed to assist in building confidence of the users on the security functionality provided by the TPM. This paper presents the state of the art of the modelling methods being used in the TPM compliance testing. Finally, the paper proposes new framework criteria for TPM Testing that aim at increasing the quality of TPM testing
