This document discusses dependability and security in computer systems. It defines dependability as the extent to which a system operates as expected without failure. Dependability is determined by attributes like availability, reliability, safety, and security. A system is considered dependable if it does not fail and continues delivering its expected services. The document outlines the importance of dependability and explains how attributes like availability, reliability, safety, and security are related and impact one another. It provides terminology and concepts regarding faults, failures, hazards, and risks as they relate to system dependability and security.
This document discusses key aspects of dependability engineering including: achieving dependability through fault avoidance, detection, and tolerance; using redundancy and diversity; the importance of well-defined, repeatable processes; and guidelines for dependable programming such as checking inputs, handling exceptions, avoiding error-prone constructs, and including timeouts. Critical systems often have high dependability requirements and their development must convince regulators that the system is dependable, safe, and secure.
CS 5032 L6 reliability and security specification 2013Ian Sommerville

Current challenges in Software License Management - and solutionsDominic Haigh
Independent software vendors (ISVs) have to deal with many issues in securely protecting their revenues while meeting customers' demands for convenience and flexibility. For example, Internet-based activation works well for both ISVs and their users, but what about users whose systems have no Internet connection, or whose system crashes, or who need to relocate their license, or who want to regularly renew a subscription license or update a usage-based license?
Perhaps product activation will work for the majority of customers, but how do ISVs support enterprise customers who want floating licensing or activation of licenses from a pool?
Securing a license by locking it to hardware parameters of your user's system is a proven approach for copy protection, but what about virtual systems, where hardware parameters can change for legitimate users?
Perhaps an ISV needs to upgrade from an insecure and cumbersome in-house or obsolete commercial licensing tool - how can they smoothly migrate their products and customers to a modern licensing solution, and minimize the development effort required?
This presentation covers these topics and more, and describes practical solutions with case studies of how ISVs are using them today to securely protect their revenues.
1. Cloud computing provides flexibility and economies of scale but introduces new security risks as sensitive data and infrastructure are placed outside traditional secure perimeters.
2. Traditional security measures like firewalls and intrusion detection become more difficult in cloud environments where virtual machines are dynamically allocated across shared physical servers.
3. Ensuring data integrity, updating security software, complying with regulations, and monitoring administrator access require new solutions to prove security and respond to vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure and virtual environments.

The purpose of this paper two fold. First and foremost it presents a background narrative on the origins, innovations and applications of novel structural automation technologies and the rarity of experts involved in research, development and practice of this field. The second part of this paper presents a rudimentary framework for a solution addressing this paucity – the creation of an interdisciplinary academic program at PAAET that will be the first ever in the region to address applied information communication technologies ICT in the design, planning, engineering and management of structural automation projects. In doing so, we need also to define the level of implementation. This field, as all fields in ICT, have been loosely defined and most applications carry less weight in its implementation than what should be applied. This paper gives an attempt to define an indexing scheme by which we can easily classify such implementation and generate a ranking by which we can safely define its level of ―Intelligence‖.International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA) is an open access online peer reviewed international journal that publishes research and review articles in the fields of Computer Science, Neural Networks, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Plastic Engineering, Food Technology, Textile Engineering, Nano Technology & science, Power Electronics, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computational mathematics, Image processing, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, VLSI Testing & Low Power VLSI Design etc.
The document discusses cloud security and compliance. It notes that security compliance has become more complex with growing threats and virtualization. It emphasizes the need to trust hardware, resources, and verification processes used. Intel Trusted Execution Technology is highlighted as a way to determine if a system can be trusted and establish a pool of known good resources. Compliance reporting and added protection are also benefits. Downloading a security planning guide is recommended to learn how to protect data from device to data center.
Application Of An Operating System SecurityAmber Wheeler
The document discusses the Flask operating system architecture prototype created by the NSA and University of Utah researchers to address the need for flexibility in controlling access rights policies. The Flask prototype was found to be practical and flexible to operate, with the ability to cleanly separate security policy logic from enforcement mechanisms. It was shown to meet the needs of a system requiring policy flexibility through a security policy server capable of making access determinations and revoking prior access rights.
