18. Why we changed to iBeacons
for the
Near You Now function of ArtLens

19. How does
Near You Now
know where you
Why we are using iBeacons
for are?
Near You Now function
of ArtLens

20. The Near You Now portion of the ArtLens
app uses a technology called iBeacon to
locate a visitors location in the Museum.

21. iBeacon uses Bluetooth low-energy (BLE)
wireless technology that was developed by
Apple. Using a series of small Bluetooth
transmitters Apps installed on the mobile device
listen out for the signal transmitted by these
beacons and respond accordingly when the
device comes into range.
iBeacon technology is compatible with mobile
devices from Apple running iOS7 and Android
running 4.3 and above.

22. What does an iBeacon look like?

23. CMA’s implementation of iBeacon
In addition to the iBeacon hardware nodes a backend
software system is needed to manage and provide location
data to apps running on the mobile device.
CMA is using Navizon to power its backend portion of
iBeacon.
Navizon’ s location system supports multiple ways to locate
a visitors location within the Museum. In addition to
iBeacon Navizon can also determine a users location using
the accelerometer within the mobile device along with Wi-Fi
triangulation.

24. Where are the iBeacon’s located?

25. Where are the iBeacon’s located?

26. How are the iBeacon’s ?
Since the iBeacon nodes are very compact and
require very little power CMA was easily able to
use multiple ways to discretely install.

27. How are the iBeacon’s configured?
The iBeacon nodes arrived preconfigured.
Once installed a training process was
conducted through out the areas of the
Museum where the nodes were installed. This
training process collects what is know as the
“Fingerprint”. This fingerprint contains the
signal strength of the iBeacons in proximity to
the mobile device being use to train the system.
This data is then uploaded to the Navizon ITS
server.

28. How where the fingerprints
collected?
When Navizon arrived onsite
they had mapped out routes in
advance throughout the
Museum to ensure optimal
accuracy.

29. What is involved to integrated
Navizon into ArtLens App?
Navizon provides a Software Developer Kit
(SDK) for both iOS and Android based mobile
devices.
Using this SDK an App can query the Navizon
server for the mobile devices current location
within the Museum based on its current
proximity to the iBeacon nodes.

30. What is involved …
For the ArtLens app a database of location
information based on the Museum floor plan
was created. ArtLens then takes the
information returned from the Navizon
server and matches it to this database.
ArtLens then provides the gallery content to
the visitor based on the appropriate location
match.

38. What does PCI Compliance means
for museums?

39. Isn’t Peripheral (graphic,
Modem, and sound cards)

40. It means “Payment Card Industry”
I'm a museum…who cares!

41. What is PCI?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements
designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card
information maintain a secure environment.
To whom does PCI apply?
• PCI applies to ALL organizations or merchants (yes, museum), regardless of size or
number of transactions, that accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data.
If I only accept credit cards over the phone, does PCI still apply to me?
• Yes. All business that store, process or transmit payment cardholder data must be
PCI Compliant.
Do organizations using third-party processors have to be PCI compliant?
• Yes. Merely using a third-party company does not exclude a company from PCI
compliance.

42. DOs & DON’Ts
DOs
• Do regularly monitor and test networks/systems
• Do implement and enforce a company Information Security
Policy.
• Do install and keep up-to-date, a firewall that protects
cardholder data stored within company systems.
• Do assign every employee with computer access a unique ID
and use a robust password (e.g., mix of letters, numbers, and
symbols), which is changed frequently (every 45-60 days).
• Do restrict physical access to company systems and records
with cardholder data to only those employees with a business
“need-to-know.”
• Do encrypt cardholder data if transmitting it over wireless or
open, public networks.
• Do use and regularly update anti-virus software.
• Do have secure company systems and applications
• Do ensure any e-commerce payment solutions are tested to
prevent programming vulnerabilities like SQL injection.
• Do use a Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS)
compliant payment application listed on the PCI Security
Standards Council website at
https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org
• Do verify that any third party service provider you use who
handles cardholder data has validated PCI DSS compliance by
visiting the PCI Security Standards Council website.
DON’Ts
Don't store magnetic stripe cardholder data or the CVV or CVC code
(the additional security number on the back of credit cards) after
authorization.
Don't use vendor-supplied or default system passwords or
common/weak passwords.
Don't store cardholder data in any systems in clear text (i.e.,
unencrypted).
Don't leave remote access applications in an "always on" mode.

43. How do I control unauthorized
IT systems and services

47. What is the best password
policy for museums?

48. Role of passwords
• The role of a password is to prevent
unauthorized access to data just as a key
prevents unauthorized access to a house or
apartment.
• A password should be guarded with the same
care as the key to a house or apartment.
• The hardest part of choosing a password is
making it difficult for others to guess but easy for
you to remember. Writing down passwords your
password should be avoided.
• Because of its name, many assume that a
password should be based off of a "word"

49. Passphrase
What is a passphrase?
• A passphrase is simply a different way of thinking about a much
longer password. Dictionary words and names are no longer
restricted. In fact, one of the very few restrictions is the length - 16
characters
Almost anything goes
• The restrictions of numbers and/or symbols in certain places in your
password are gone.
Long and …Length is your friend
• Passphrases can be simple short sentences of five or six words
with spaces, using natural language. Since you type emails and
such every day, typing in natural language shouldn't be anything
new.
A happy medium
• Passphrases bring into balance the trade-off between hard to
remember but much more secure passwords, and easy to
remember but much less secure passwords.

50. Password or Passphrase, user hate it all.

51. What are some passphrase examples?
Choosing a strong passphrase
In general terms, the aim should be to create a passphrase that is easy to remember and to type when needed.
• very hard for anyone else to guess, even for someone who knows you well.
• It should also be long enough to make any dictionary attack or brute-force attack impractical.
• Fireworks of Glass is a masterpiece (493 quattuordecillion years)
• Power of Children is my favorite! (54 quattuordecillion years)
• Carousel Wishes and Dreams (10 nonillion years)
• Children's Museum is #1 (30 octillion years)

52. How strong is my password vs.
passphrase?
Current password: Mus3um! (1 hour) New: ”bucky the teenage t. rex” (24 Char)
37 sextillion years to crack your password
VS.
