MEKDA: Multi-Level ECC based Key Distribution and Authentication in Internet ...IJCNCJournal
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an extensive system of networks and connected devices with minimal human interaction and swift growth. The constraints of the System and limitations of Devices pose several challenges, including security; hence billions of devices must protect from attacks and compromises. The resource-constrained nature of IoT devices amplifies security challenges. Thus standard data communication and security measures are inefficient in the IoT environment. The ubiquity of IoT devices and their deployment in sensitive applications increase the vulnerability of any security breaches to risk lives. Hence, IoT-related security challenges are of great concern. Authentication is the solution to the vulnerability of a malicious device in the IoT environment. The proposed Multi-level Elliptic Curve Cryptography based Key Distribution and Authentication in IoT enhances the security by Multi-level Authentication when the devices enter or exit the Cluster in an IoT system. The decreased Computation Time and Energy Consumption by generating and distributing Keys using Elliptic Curve Cryptography extends the availability of the IoT devices. The Performance analysis shows the improvement over the Fast Authentication and Data Transfer method.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, enterprise identity management has proven to be challenging due to the constant changes in associated systems, corporate policies and stakeholder requirements. Therefore, managing identities and their privileges among the systems need to be handled in a flexible manner to save resources when governing identities and controlling access.
There are various specifications of industry standards in this domain making it difficult to select the correct one. Some of them may address the same problem with slight variations and some may look similar but address completely different problems.
This webinar will discuss
The real problems that need to be addressed when managing enterprise identity
Key challenges when implementing concepts
How to overcome these challenges and build a future proof identity and access management system with WSO2 Identity Server

Securing Software-as-a-Service: Cover your SaaS and protect enterprise dataPistoia Alliance
Fears about the security of SaaS have prevented many life science organizations from considering the cloud for managing life science data. This poster, presented at the Pistoia Alliance Conference in April 2011, explains ways that SaaS vendors descure solutions and considerations for life science companies exploring cloud solutions.

The project work explores in detail, the security issues in a SOA environment and also describes the various approaches to these issues. The different approaches to SOA security (i.e. message level security, security as a service and policy driven security) are not standalone solutions, but can be deployed as mix and match solutions. A SOA security solution can make use of all the approaches to address specific security concerns. Finally the project work describes a generic SOA security model which acts as a reference model to identify security vulnerabilities in enterprise application integration (EAI). These vulnerabilities can then be addressed by the different approaches to security.

Leveraging the unique benefits of the cloud requires a specialized approach to application architecture. The right design enables business agility, massive scaling, ability to burst, and high resiliency. Plus, it promotes resource efficiency and can minimize costs. If you are involved in providing applications or services in the cloud, attend this session to learn the principles of cloud-aware application design and to explore emerging architectural patterns which maximize cloud advantages.
What kind of design patterns are useful for applications adopting the cloud? How can apps achieve the scalability and availability promised by the cloud? Presentation from Interop 2011 Enterprise Cloud Summit.
Distributed Design and Architecture of Cloud FoundryDerek Collison
In this session we will dig deep into Cloud Foundry's core architecture and design principles. We will discuss the challenges around scaling and operating a large scale service as we combined the PaaS and traditional IaaS layers, and how we achieve multiple updates per week to the system with no perceived downtime. Allowing user to download a single virtual machine that is a complete replica of the service presented some challenges as well, and we will discuss our approach to offering up the downloadable private cloud.
Simplify Localization with Design Pattern AutomationYan Cui
Localization is crucial for reaching out to a global audience, however, it’s often an afterthought for most developers and non-trivial to implement. Traditionally, game developers have outsourced this task due to its time consuming nature.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Yan Cui will show you a simple technique his team used at GameSys which allowed them to localize an entire story-driven, episodic MMORPG (with over 5000 items and 1500 quests) in under an hour of work and 50 lines of code, with the help of PostSharp.
Cloud Migration Patterns: A Multi-Cloud Architectural PerspectivePooyan Jamshidi
Cloud migration requires an engineering, verifiable, measurable, transparent and repeatable approach rather than an ad-hoc approach based on trial and error.
We describe a comprehensive set of (multi-)cloud migration patterns from an architectural perspective. In this work, we focus on application components and their migration to the multi-cloud environments. We define and characterize the patterns with concrete usage scenario. We also describe the process for migration pattern selection, composition and extension.

Data Engineer, Patterns & Architecture The future: Deep-dive into Microservic...Igor De Souza
With Industry 4.0, several technologies are used to have data analysis in real-time, maintaining, organizing, and building this on the other hand is a complex and complicated job. Over the past 30 years, we saw several ideas to centralize the database in a single place as the united and true source of data has been implemented in companies, such as Data wareHouse, NoSQL, Data Lake, Lambda & Kappa Architecture.
On the other hand, Software Engineering has been applying ideas to separate applications to facilitate and improve application performance, such as microservices.
The idea is to use the MicroService patterns on the date and divide the model into several smaller ones. And a good way to split it up is to use the model using the DDD principles. And that's how I try to explain and define DataMesh & Data Fabric.
Deep-dive into Microservices Patterns with Replication and Stream Analytics
Target Audience: Microservices and Data Architects
This is an informational presentation about microservices event patterns, GoldenGate event replication, and event stream processing with Oracle Stream Analytics. This session will discuss some of the challenges of working with data in a microservices architecture (MA), and how the emerging concept of a “Data Mesh” can go hand-in-hand to improve microservices-based data management patterns. You may have already heard about common microservices patterns like CQRS, Saga, Event Sourcing and Transaction Outbox; we’ll share how GoldenGate can simplify these patterns while also bringing stronger data consistency to your microservice integrations. We will also discuss how complex event processing (CEP) and stream processing can be used with event-driven MA for operational and analytical use cases.
Business pressures for modernization and digital transformation drive demand for rapid, flexible DevOps, which microservices address, but also for data-driven Analytics, Machine Learning and Data Lakes which is where data management tech really shines. Join us for this presentation where we take a deep look at the intersection of microservice design patterns and modern data integration tech.
All Grown Up: Maturation of Analytics in the CloudInside Analysis
The Briefing Room with Wayne Eckerson and Birst
Live Webcast on Nov. 6, 2012
The desire for analytics today extends far beyond the traditional domain of Business Intelligence. The challenge is that operational systems come in countless shapes and sizes. Furthermore, each application treats data somewhat differently. But there are patterns of data flow and transformation that pervade all such systems. And there's one big place where all these data types and use cases have come together architecturally: the Cloud.
Watch this episode of the Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Wayne Eckerson explain how Cloud computing is ushering in a new era of analytics and intelligence. He'll be briefed by Brad Peters of Birst who will tout his company's purpose-built analytics platform. He'll discuss how the Birst engine processes and delivers raw data from disparate systems, offering the deployment flexibility of Software-as-a-Service, together with the capabilities of enterprise-class BI.
Technically Speaking: How Self-Service Analytics Fosters CollaborationInside Analysis
The Briefing Room with Wayne Eckerson and Tableau Software
Achieving self-service analytics requires tight collaboration between business users and their technical counterparts. Data sources, interfaces, business rules and governance guard rails must be designed to accommodate particular topical domains, and levels of expertise. The process of creating such customized solutions tends to result in very productive collaboration, not just across the IT-business boundary, but also between and among business users and IT professionals alike.
Check out this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Wayne Eckerson explain how self-service solutions should be designed and implemented. He'll be briefed by Ellie Fields of Tableau Software who will discuss how to create, adjust and share visualizations that can help you understand and communicate your information effectively.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Getting Cloud Architecture Right the First Time Ver 2
1. How to Get Cloud Architecture
and Design Right the First Time
David S. Linthicum
Blue Mountain Labs
david@bluemountainlabs.com
2. Abstract
So, what are the proper ways to design, build, and leverage cloud
computing systems? What are the steps to success? What are the
emerging best practices? How does SOA fit in? In this session we’ll
answer these questions, and more, covering the right and wrong ways
to leverage, design, and build cloud-based systems and infrastructure.
Going beyond the hype, this includes advice from those currently in the
trenches who make cloud computing work for the Global 2000 and
government. The audience is anyone who will soon fight to make cloud
computing work for their clients, employers, and/or investors, and need
to knock it out of the park the first time.

18. Architecture Roadmap Where to begin
Build a solid foundation:
• Determine business drivers
• Understand: data, services, business
processes and system integration points
• Design a “cloud-friendly” enterprise
architecture roadmap that leverages
Services Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• Determine an integration strategy for
internal and external systems
• Outline a migration path for legacy systems
to the new architecture
Leverage SOA to build a sturdy and agile foundation for the Cloud
•
22. General Rules and Guidelines
• Focus on the primitives.
• The best clouds are sets of low level services that can
be configured.
• Data services
• Transaction services
• Utility services
• Leverage distributed components that are centrally
controlled.
• Build for tenants, not users.
• Don’t lean too much on virtualization.
• Security and governance are systemic.
24. The General Idea
• Break the system down to it’s component parts,
understanding each part.
• Rethink the database, it’s typically a mess.
• Rethink the system as sets of services/API, watch the
granularity.
• Data services, transaction services, utility services
• Create a security and governance plan.
• Consider the user interfaces.
• Consider device interfaces.
• Migrate only the components to the cloud that will
provide the best value.
25. Good New/Bad News
• Good News:
• Most cloud platforms provide the tenant management
features for you.
• Most cloud platforms manage the resources for you.
• The cloud platforms are getting better.
• Bad News:
• Security is still your problem.
• Application and service design is still your problem.
• Testing can be a hassle.
