Since the introduction of public key cryptography by Diffie and Hellman in 1976, uses and infrastructure have grown in unimaginable ways. The security that has been afforded through Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is now an integral and essential part of the internet. The proliferation of digital certificates, certificate authorities and PKI implementations creates a large and enticing attack surface. Most businesses rely heavily on PKI for their data security, yet few organizations could tell you how many certificates they have deployed, where they are and their current status. This presentation will discuss a few of the most critical PKI implementations and threats they face today. The talk will conclude with mitigation recommendations and practical ways you can improve the PKI in your organization.

Sistema Paese Italia e Cyber Security : un nuovo scenario di interazione tra ...Angeloluca Barba
La digitalizzazione e' un'opportunita' unica per aumentare cooperazione, efficacia e produttività garantendo enormi vantaggi sociali, economici ed operativi ai cittadini ed alle organizzazioni. Le tecnologie necessarie costringono la Societa' ad affrontare problematiche di Cyber Security sempre più sfidanti. La sicurezza, d’altra parte, è uno strumento efficace solo quando diviene parte della cultura stessa del sistema paese e delle organizzazioni, del modo di operare, e viene integrata completamente nei processi e nelle infrastrutture tecnologiche.
Capire la complessità di questa nuova dimensione della sicurezza e comprenderne l’impatto reale sugli interessi nazionali, anche attraverso l’esperienza di altri paesi, è il primo passo per realizzare una politica efficace di cyber security
Selex ES presenta la propria visione del contesto italiano in termini di minacce, di evoluzione della governance e delle soluzioni con una particolare attenzione alla protezione di aree estremamente sensibili quali difesa, sicurezza del territorio e infrastrutture critiche tramite l'utilizzo di tecnologie specifiche quali la Cyber Intelligence ed il monitoraggio di sistemi SCADA.

Mental Health Act 2001 Toolkit Launch 10 Nov 2022Darius Whelan
The School of Law, University College Cork, has developed a Mental Health Act Toolkit in partnership with Mental Health Reform.
When people with mental health difficulties are admitted to mental health units, either on a voluntary or involuntary basis, it is vital that user-friendly, accessible, information is available regarding human rights. Access to this information is essential for people with mental health difficulties, their family members, advocates, supporters and carers. The Mental Health Act 2001 Toolkit is published on Mental Health Reform’s website.

Introducing New Government Regulation on Toll Road.pdfAHRP Law Firm
For nearly two decades, Government Regulation Number 15 of 2005 on Toll Roads ("GR No. 15/2005") has served as the cornerstone of toll road legislation. However, with the emergence of various new developments and legal requirements, the Government has enacted Government Regulation Number 23 of 2024 on Toll Roads to replace GR No. 15/2005.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Further Aspects of Copyright
Law for Digital Teaching and
Learning
2. What is Creative Commons?
• Non-profit corporation based in California
• Founded on notion that some people may not want to exercise all of
the intellectual property rights the law affords them.
• Believes there is an unmet demand for an easy way to tell the world
"Some rights reserved" or even "No rights reserved."
• Many people want to share their work - and the power to reuse,
modify, and distribute their work - with others on generous terms.
• Creative Commons intends to help people express this preference for
sharing by offering the world a set of licenses on its site, at no
charge.
• UCC Law Faculty is Irish Partner
• Website: www.creativecommonsireland.org
• Focus of Creative Commons is on content (e.g. video, music, written
material) rather than software 2

• US case-law: facts are not copyright (Feist
case)
• E.g. Historical facts are not copyright

presented as a fact
• U.S. merger doctrine: When a limited set of
words is needed to express an idea, anyone is
free to use the set of words.
