An emulator for emulating a wireless network comprised of a plurality of RF nodes is comprised of a programmable controller for emulating the movements of the plurality of RF nodes within an emulated space. The controller provides both information and control signals based on the emulated movements. A programmable logic core receives a plurality of signals from the plurality of RF nodes and emulates signal propagation based on the information from the controller. A plurality of signal generation and conversion cards are interposed between the programmable logic core and the RF nodes. The signal generation and conversion cards are responsive to the control signals. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

The revolution in information technology that began in the 1990s has been transforming Finland into an information society. Imaginative data processing and utilization, arising from the needs of citizens and the business community, are some of the most important elements in a thriving society. Information and know-how have become key 'commodities' in society, and they can be utilized all the more efficiently through information technology. For all nations, the information technology revolution quietly changed the way business and government operate, as well as the daily life of citizens. Our daily life, fundamental rights, social interactions and economies depend on information and communication technology working seamlessly. An open and free cyberspace has promoted political and social inclusion worldwide; it has broken down barriers between countries, communities and citizens, allowing interaction and sharing of information and ideas across the globe. Individuals, public and private organizations alike depend on the cyber world. From the citizens using social media, to banks growing their business, to law enforcement supporting national security-every sector of the society is increasingly dependent upon technology and networked systems. While the public sector, the economy and the business community as well as citizens benefit from globally networked services, the digital IT society contains inherent vulnerabilities which may generate security risks to citizens, the business community or the vital functions of society. Without sufficient awareness of the risks in cyber world, however, behavioral decisions and unseen threats can negatively impact the security of the critical infrastructure and can cause physical damage in the real world. On an individual level, what is at stake is the vulnerability of each individual user in cyber world. As the world grows more connected through cyber world, a highly skilled cyber security workforce is required to secure, protect, and defend national critical information infrastructure. Across the private and public sector organizations are looking for well-trained professionals to assess, design, develop, and implement cyber security solutions and strategies. While the demand for cyber security professionals is high, the supply is low. Meeting the growing demand for cyber security professionals begins in the education system. The most efficient custom to increase cyber security is the improvement of the know-how. The cyber security strategies and development plans require the improvement of the know-how of the citizens and actors of the economic life and public administration. Pursuant to Finland's Cyber Security Strategy 2013 "the implementation of cyber security R&D and education at different levels does not only strengthen national expertise, it also bolsters Finland as an information society." In this article are analyzed the cyber security research and education which is offered in Finland's universities and universities of applied sciences.

Security for Android smartphone platforms is a challenge arising in part from their openness. We analyse the security objectives of two distinct envisioned public safety and security mobile network systems utilising the Android platform. The analysis is based on an industrial risk analysis activity. In addition, we propose initial heuristics for security objective decomposition aimed at security metrics definition. Systematically defined and applied security metrics can be used for informed risk-driven security decision-making, enabling higher security effectiveness.

An IP [=Internet Protocol] terminal (600), comprises communication means (606) for communicating via an IP network (622), a processor (602) and memory (604). The memory contains an operating software (700) for the IP terminal (600) and the processor (602) is configured to execute the operating software. The operating software comprises a normal mode logic for implementing a normal mode operation and a restricted mode logic for implementing a restricted mode operation. The normal mode logic comprises program code for initiating a call of a first type under control of instructions from one or more dedicated servers (624, 626). The restricted mode logic comprises program code for collecting connection information of other IP terminals (630) and for initiating a call of a second type without instructions from the one or more dedicated servers (624, 626).
