Knowledge workers are increasingly mobile, and frequently have to connect to internal I.T. resources from outside the enterprise network.
Mobile users must manage passwords both on their own notebook computers and on networked systems.
Managing passwords for mobile users is more challenging than managing passwords to network-attached users. Unique technical problems include managing local passwords on thousands of devices, coping with cached credentials and supporting mobile users who forgot their initial sign-on password.
This document describes how Hitachi ID Password Manager addresses the technical challenges of managing passwords for mobile users.
The remainder of this document is organized into sections that describe challenges specific to managing passwords for mobile users, and how Hitachi ID Password Manager addresses each problem.
Managing local passwords
Managing local passwords using a network-attached password management system.
When users forget their initial password
Providing self-service assistance to users who forget their initial password, including both network-attached and off-line users.
When users forget their remote-access password
Providing self-service assistance to off-site users who forgot or disabled the password they use to connect to the network.
Conclusions
A summary of the challenges of password management for mobile users, and of Hitachi ID Password Manager solutions.

Centralized Self-service Password Reset: From the Web and Windows DesktopPortalGuard
For companies of all sizes, the task of supporting users can prove to be taxing on the IT staff, especially the Help Desk and Administrators. Most studies show the cost of pass-word resets can range from $25 to $75 per incident and make up around 30 percent or more of Help Desk calls. This provides ample reason and demand for password reset and recovery tools which empower the user. By allowing users to self-service their own ac-count and password management needs, organizations can effectively offer 24/7 access and maintain productivity.
Using Hitachi ID Password Manager to Reduce Password Reset Calls at an Intern...Hitachi ID Systems, Inc.
Internet Service Providers face a significant support cost due to users who forget their network connection or e-mail password.
As ISPs scale to hundreds of thousands and millions of end customers, the cost to support repetitive problems such as password resets rises to significant levels, reaching millions of dollars annually.
Given the significant cost, it is advantageous to invest in automation to eliminate recurring user support problems. Password reset is often the most common problem, and is arguably the easiest problem to address with self-service technologies.
Over the years, password management software has evolved from a simple self-service web application to reset forgotten passwords to a complex platform for managing multiple authentication factors and encryption keys.
This document describes the technological evolution and highlights the product capabilities that organizations should consider in order to have a lasting value from their investment.
In part, this document questions the benefits of investing in point solutions with limited functionality and expansion capabilities and in favor of investing in a platform capable of addressing both short- and long-term needs.

Every IT asset has at least one local, privileged login account. This includes workstations, servers, network devices, databases, applications and more. Some assets also have privileged accounts used to run services or authenticate one application to another.
Passwords for privileged accounts are used to install software, manage the device and perform technical support functions. They are often “all powerful,” having unlimited access to system functions and data. Consequently, compromise of privileged passwords is effectively compromise of the device.
Secure management of access to privileged accounts is essential to IT security. This document identifies technical challenges and offers solutions for effectively managing large numbers of sensitive passwords.
Summarizes the problems users experience when managing too many passwords. It describes the various approaches available to organizations to reduce the password burden on users and to improve the security of their authentication systems.
Self-service functionality can assist with password resets, recoveries and account unlocks. By using multiple security questions and answers functionality PortalGuard is able to perform all resets directly from the end-user's machine if desired. This also includes Offline Mode, which allows the forgotten password to be shown to roaming users in clear text when they are offline, so as to continue work without returning to the office.

IRJET- Security in Ad-Hoc Network using Encrypted Data Transmission and S...IRJET Journal
This document discusses security techniques for data transmission in ad-hoc networks, specifically encrypted data transmission and steganography. It proposes a system that enables encrypted data transmission between nodes and uses steganography to hide encrypted data in cover files like images, audio, and video during transmission for additional security. The system architecture includes modules for user interface, embedding secret data in cover files, extracting secret data, sending files between nodes, and receiving files. It aims to securely transmit data in ad-hoc networks using both encryption and steganography to protect confidentiality and integrity of transmitted data.
This document discusses the evolution of password management and authentication from simple password synchronization and reset capabilities to a more complex system of managing multiple authentication factors across various applications and devices. It notes that authentication management has grown beyond basic password management to include managing tokens, smart cards, biometrics and other factors from anywhere. The document argues that enterprises now require a consolidated system that can manage all authentication factors, support mobile users, integrate with provisioning and federation systems, and provide self-service capabilities for non-password factors like PIN resets.
This document provides guidance on selecting a password management product. It discusses establishing a business case based on reducing support costs, simplifying administration and improving security. Functional requirements include password synchronization across systems, self-service password reset capabilities, and support for multiple authentication targets. Technical considerations involve scalability, availability, security and deployability. The document also covers administration requirements and evaluating the stability and services of potential vendors.

It proposes using a challenge-response protocol along with a self-learning system to add an additional layer of security even if voice recognition fails. The system would utilize techniques like hashing algorithms and generate dynamic secret questions based on the user's smartphone usage data to validate logins verbally without risking passwords being overheard in public. The methodology, system requirements, and future extensions are described to authenticate users through conversational interactions with the PDA in a secure manner.
Advanced Security System for Bank Lockers using Biometric and GSMIRJET Journal
This document proposes an advanced security system for bank lockers using biometric authentication and GSM technology. The system aims to provide more secure access to bank lockers than traditional key-based systems. It works by enrolling users through fingerprint scanning and storing their fingerprint data and mobile number in a database. When a user wants to open their locker, the system verifies their identity by matching their fingerprint and sends a one-time password via SMS to their registered mobile number. The user then enters this password to unlock the locker, providing two-factor authentication through biometrics and mobile verification. The system is designed to address security issues with lost or duplicated keys and keep pace with digital authentication methods.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
