12 Jul 2017TL;DR: This paper describes the user-centered approach towards designing a fully functional privacy feedback interface for the Android platform and shows that users of the new interface were significantly more likely to both understand and control the selected set of circumstances under which applications could access sensitive data when compared to the default Android privacy settings interface.
Abstract: Current mobile platforms provide privacy management interfaces to regulate how applications access sensitive data. Prior research has shown how these interfaces are insufficient from a usability standpoint: they do not account for context. In allowing for more contextual decisions, machine-learning techniques have shown great promise for designing systems that automatically make privacy decisions on behalf of the user. However, if such decisions are made automatically, then feedback mechanisms are needed to empower users to both audit those decisions and correct any errors. In this paper, we describe our user-centered approach towards designing a fully functional privacy feedback interface for the Android platform. We performed two large-scale user studies to research the usability of our design. Our second, 580-person validation study showed that users of our new interface were significantly more likely to both understand and control the selected set of circumstances under which applications could access sensitive data when compared to the default Android privacy settings interface.

TL;DR: This work aims to improve the safety of critical CPS through synthesis of runtime enforcers, named safety guards, which are reactive components attached to the original systems to protect them against catastrophic failures.
Abstract: Due to their safety-critical nature, cyber-physical systems (CPS) must tolerate faults and security attacks to remain fail-operational. However, conventional techniques for improving safety, such as testing and validation, do not meet this requirement, as shown by many of the real-world system failures in recent years, often with major economic and public-safety implications. We aim to improve the safety of critical CPS through synthesis of runtime enforcers, named safety guards, which are reactive components attached to the original systems to protect them against catastrophic failures. That is, even if the system occasionally malfunctions due to unknown defects, transient errors, or malicious attacks, the guard always reacts instantaneously to ensure that the combined system satisfies a predefined set of safety properties, and the deviation from the original system is kept at minimum. We illustrate the main ideas of this approach with examples, discuss the advantages compared to existing approaches, and point out some research challenges.

TL;DR: In the story of the Battle of the Books as mentioned in this paper, Eustathius of Thessalonica plays a conspicuous role, initially enrolled among the orators (and thus on the far left wing of the ancients' army), he soon switches to the middlefield upon the request of the old and blind Homer, who desperately needs a lieutenant, and thus implores Demosthenes to let the archbishop, however ideologically hostile to war, cross over to the infantry of the poets and help him out in this bloodless fight.
Abstract: In the fantastic battle between ancient and modern authors envisaged by the French scholar François de Callières in 1688 (a story that inspired Jonathan Swift’s Battle of the Books, published twelve years later), Eustathius of Thessalonica plays a conspicuous role1. Initially enrolled among the orators (and thus on the far left wing of the ancients’ army), he soon switches to the middlefield upon the request of the old and blind Homer, who desperately needs a lieutenant, and thus implores Demosthenes to let the archbishop, however ideologically hostile to war, cross over to the infantry of the poets and help him out in this bloodless fight2. Once proclaimed captain of Homer’s guard, Eustathius starts a thorough examination of the troops, consisting of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and engages in a firm defence of the Shield of Achilles against the attacks of the moderns; shortly after, however, he discovers to his dismay a worrying hole in the ranks of the Iliad, corresponding to the description of Aphrodite’s kestos, “la ceinture de Venus”, which has been stolen overnight by the modern poets Voiture and Sarrasin disguised as Greeks – very painful news for poor Homer, who believed Iliad 14 to be among the highlights of his entire poetical output3. Callières’ parody of the Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes is subtler and less absurd than it may appear at first glance: when Homer greets Eustathius as the worthiest defender of his person and works4, this reflects a communis opinio grounded in the wide success of the Parekbolai to Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey since their editio princeps published in Rome in 1542‒1550 – a success that will only be properly appreciated by whoever writes a proper history of the art of commenting Homer, perhaps one of the most urgent desiderata of contempo-

TL;DR: The Crossing Guard interface provides the accelerator designer with a standardized set of coherence messages that are simple enough to aid in design of bug-free coherent caches, and sufficiently complex to allow customized and optimized accelerator caches with performance comparable to using the host protocol.
Abstract: Specialized hardware accelerators have performance and energy-efficiency advantages over general-purpose processors. To fully realize these benefits and aid programmability, accelerators may share a physical and virtual address space and full cache coherence with the host system. However, allowing accelerators -- particularly those designed by third parties -- to directly communicate with host coherence protocols poses several problems. Host coherence protocols are complex, vary between companies, and may be proprietary, increasing burden on accelerator designers. Bugs in the accelerator implementation may cause crashes and other serious consequences to the host system.We propose Crossing Guard, a coherence interface between the host coherence system and accelerators. The Crossing Guard interface provides the accelerator designer with a standardized set of coherence messages that are simple enough to aid in design of bug-free coherent caches. At the same time, they are sufficiently complex to allow customized and optimized accelerator caches with performance comparable to using the host protocol. The Crossing Guard hardware is implemented as part of the trusted host, and provides complete safety to the host coherence system, even in the presence of a pathologically buggy accelerator cache.

TL;DR: In this paper, an entrance guard control method, device and system for counting the permanent resident population and non-permanent resident population was proposed, which is more accurate than an existing face recognition method.
Abstract: The application provides an entrance guard control method, device and system. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring an image of a target photographed by a camera; identifying feature information of the target based on the image of the target; determining a category of the target based on the feature information and a previously calculated center of clustering; determining an entrance guard control instruction according to the categort of the target and access information of the target within a preset time range. According to the entrance guard control method, device and system, permanent resident population and nonpermanent resident population can be automatically counted. After establishing association with an entrance guard, the permanent resident population does not need to swipe a card. Compared with an existing face recognition method, the entrance guard control method is more accurate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the Swiss border guard's relationship with the border space since the use of military drone systems (ADS-95 Ranger) for surveillance missions and explore the way in which the fundamentally mobile and flexible nature of this technology also gives rise to new surveillance practices and identification controls.
Abstract: . This paper focuses on the Swiss border guard's relationship with the border space since the use of military drone systems (ADS-95 Ranger) for surveillance missions. Firstly, the paper highlights how the use of these flying devices both facilitates and limits the acquisition of new knowledge by the border guards. It then explores the way in which the fundamentally mobile and flexible nature of this technology also gives rise to new surveillance practices and identification controls. We show that these changes influence the border guard's relationship with the border. To achieve this, our analysis is based on empirical data obtained from semi-structured interviews with key players in the field, action maps and field observation carried out during a drone engagement in September 2014. One major question therefore guides this study: how do military drone systems – by way of the new knowledge and practices they generate – influence relationships in the border space?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the nature of the security guard industry with a focus on security guard employment relative to police officer, the diverse legislative guidelines pertaining to the scope of their functions, employment eligibility, training, and legal powers in the new independent and post-socialist countries in Eastern Europe and post Soviet republics.
Abstract: In this paper, we explore the nature of the security guard industry with a focus on security guard employment relative to police officer, the diverse legislative guidelines pertaining to the scope of their functions, employment eligibility, training, and legal powers in the new independent and post-socialist countries in Eastern Europe and post-Soviet republics. Findings suggest that despite the rapid proliferation of private security industry in the post-socialist countries relative to the gradual growth experienced in the European continent in many of the new independent states, public police continue to play a critical role in the form of employees of state-owned security guard companies. Further, we find considerable disparity in the employment ratios of police officers and security guards in these countries though not much variation in the rigor of legislative framework for private security guard employment in the post-socialist nations appeared, which was minimal at best.
TL;DR: Wyrtzen as discussed by the authors explores how the competing logics in the colonial field transformed the position of Sultan Mohamed V from a potential ally of the "protectorate intervention" to a politicoreligious nationalist leader and hero of anticolonial struggles.
Abstract: While nationalist urban women articulated their resistance in terms of equal access to education and rights, Amazigh rural women contested colonial intervention in terms of the integrity of the Muslim community and in gendered terms of ‘‘bravery/impotence’’ of Amazigh men. The postcolonial struggles over gender and women’s rights have been profoundly shaped by these earlier disputes. Chapter Eight explores how the competing logics in the colonial field transformed the position of Sultan Mohamed V from a potential ally of the ‘‘protectorate intervention’’ to a politicoreligious nationalist leader and hero of anticolonial struggles. The last three decades of the protectorate (1930s to 1950s) saw the issuing of the Berber dahir, the formation of the party of Istiqlal, independence (1943), the sultan’s exile (1953), and his return as national hero in 1955. Exploring these three decades reveals the way in which struggles around Moroccan independence shaped the colonial political field and secured the centrality of the monarchy as a symbol of unity and national political identity in the years following independence. Detailing the dynamics of consolidation of state symbolic, religious, and political power is the task of the concluding chapters. Wyrtzen’s book is a refreshing reading of Morocco’s contemporary history that draws on a wide body of historical literature and colonial writings to build an original perspective on the factors that shaped the history of contemporary Morocco and the identification processes of ordinary Moroccans.

TL;DR: In this article, the secrecy performance of a wireless network (primary network) overlaid with an ambient RF energy harvesting IoT network (secondary network) is studied using tools from stochastic geometry and game theory.
Abstract: This paper studies the secrecy performance of a wireless network (primary network) overlaid with an ambient RF energy harvesting IoT network (secondary network). The nodes in the secondary network are assumed to be solely powered by ambient RF energy harvested from the transmissions of the primary network. We assume that the secondary nodes can eavesdrop on the primary transmissions due to which the primary network uses secrecy guard zones. The primary transmitter goes silent if any secondary receiver is detected within its guard zone. Using tools from stochastic geometry, we derive the probability of successful connection of the primary network as well as the probability of secure communication. Two conditions must be jointly satisfied in order to ensure successful connection: (i) the SINR at the primary receiver is above a predefined threshold, and (ii) the primary transmitter is not silent. In order to ensure secure communication, the SINR value at each of the secondary nodes should be less than a predefined threshold. Clearly, when more secondary nodes are deployed, more primary transmitters will remain silent for a given guard zone radius, thus impacting the amount of energy harvested by the secondary network. Our results concretely show the existence of an optimal deployment density for the secondary network that maximizes the density of nodes that are able to harvest sufficient amount of energy. Furthermore, we show the dependence of this optimal deployment density on the guard zone radius of the primary network. In addition, we show that the optimal guard zone radius selected by the primary network is a function of the deployment density of the secondary network. This interesting coupling between the two networks is studied using tools from game theory. Overall, this work is one of the few concrete works that symbiotically merge tools from stochastic geometry and game theory.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the relative effects of environmental factors on job satisfaction as well as dissatisfaction among security guards, and find that overall the guards expressed satisfaction with their jobs because of the thrill and anticipation they received from the job assignment, however, inadequate training, poor pay, shift-work schedules, boredom and a lack of basic amenities at work were among the factors identified that left them with low job satisfaction.
Abstract: An important attribute of high turnover in private security guard industry relates to factors associated with job satisfaction. While sweeping statements have been attributed as reasons for high turnover in the security guard industry (including poor pay, inadequate regulations and poor training), few studies have examined the factors associated with job satisfaction among unarmed guards. This study seeks to examine the relative effects of environmental factors on job satisfaction as well as dissatisfaction among security guards. Data were drawn from in-depth interviews with 18 security guards employed in a highly industrialized Midwestern state in the United States to explore factors that influence their satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work. Findings suggest that overall the guards expressed satisfaction with their jobs because of the thrill and anticipation they received from the job assignment. However, inadequate training, poor pay, shift-work schedules, boredom and a lack of basic amenities at work were among the factors identified that left them with low-job satisfaction. In addition, respondents identified factors that help remedy the situation to create a productive working environment for employees in a high turnover, underpaid occupation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the use of near-post guard systems when defending corner kicks in the English Premier League during the 2015/2016 season, and find that there was no significant association between the different near post guard systems and the number of attempts at goal (p < 0.05).
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the use of near-post guard systems when defending corner kicks in the English Premier League during the 2015/2016 season. A total of 750 corner kicks from 79 English Premier League matches were analysed. There were a total of eight different near-post guard systems observed. Only six corner kicks (0.8%) were observed where there was no guard positioned in the near-post area when defending corner kicks. The one-one system only conceded one goal from 148 corner kicks (0.7%) observed, whereas the one-zero system conceded 8 goals from 159 corner kicks (5.0%) observed. However, when all attempts at goal were included, there was no significant association between the different near-post guard systems and the number of attempts at goal (p > 0.05). An important finding was that there were 236 defensive clearances performed by the guards from the 750 corner kicks that were analysed (31.5%), this suggests that these defensive players play an important role in prevent...

TL;DR: This work compares performance of Vguard to an available drive-managed SMR drive analyzed and modeled in previous research, and finds that Vguard reduces the 99.9% latency by 15× for real-world traces, and maximum latency by 32% for synthetic random write workloads.
Abstract: Virtual Guard (Vguard) is a track-based static mapping translation layer for shingled magnetic recording (SMR) drives. Data is written in-place by caching data from the next track in the shingling direction, allowing direct overwrite of sectors in the target track. This enables Vguard to take advantage of track-level locality, nearly eliminating cleaning for many workloads. We compare performance of Vguard to an available drive-managed SMR drive analyzed and modeled in previous research. Vguard reduces the 99.9% latency by 15× for real-world traces, and maximum latency by 32% for synthetic random write workloads.

TL;DR: This paper entails a contemporary methodology to guard the code against exploitation by which the tamper resistance of the program code is magnified by the inclusion of two modules that work in tandem with each other to protect critical pieces of code.
Abstract: The operations of devices in automated, possibly in hostile environments, puts the dependability and reliability of the IoT systems at stake. More specifically, adversaries may tamper with the devices, tamper with sensor values triggering false alarms, instrument the data gathering and overall operation to their own interest. Protecting integrity and confidentiality of IoT devices from tampering attempts is a big challenge. Protection against code tampering is the focal point of this research. This paper entails a contemporary methodology to guard the code against exploitation. The approach focuses on a novel distributed solution by which the tamper resistance of the program code is magnified by the inclusion of two modules that work in tandem with each other. These security modules employ Return Oriented Programming (ROP) techniques and code check-summing techniques to protect critical pieces of code. When working together they provide dual lines of defence to the critical piece of code where the malicious entity has to bypass both the modules in order to tamper the critical piece of code thereby hardening the overall security and increasing the cost of exploitation drastically making it infeasible to mount an attack on IoT devices.

Abstract: The invention discloses a temporary password entrance guard system with dynamic update of encrypting parameters, which can be applied to real-time on-line and non-real-time on-line entrance guard systems. A temporary password formed by the system is generated on the basis of algorithm, time and a random number SEED and is sent to an applicant by a password management server; and meanwhile, the password management server sends a latest random number SEED to an entrance guard controller through network or an intermediate device; the applicant tells the temporary password to a user, so that the user can input the temporary password on the entrance guard controller, and then the entrance guard controller inverse-calculates the generation time of the temporary password according to decrypting algorithm, the temporary password and the random number SEED and compares the generation time with present time; if the time difference is located in a setting range, the password is legal and the entrance guard controller performs unlocking action. The temporary password is variable with time and dynamic parameters, so that reliability and adaptability are better.

Abstract: This paper studies the secrecy performance in wireless networks (primary network) overlaid with an ambient RF energy harvesting network (secondary network). The nodes in the secondary network are assumed to be solely powered by ambient RF energy harvested from transmissions of the primary network. We assume that the secondary nodes can eavesdrop on the primary transmissions due to which the primary network uses {\em secrecy guard zones}. The primary transmitter goes silent if any secondary receiver is detected within its guard zone. Using tools from stochastic geometry, we first derive the optimal guard zone radius that minimizes the probability of going silent while ensuring a predefined minimum secure connection probability. Clearly, when more secondary nodes are deployed, more primary transmitters will remain silent for a given guard zone radius, thus impacting the amount of energy harvested by the secondary network. This introduces an interesting coupling between the performance of the two networks. We study this coupling using tools from game theory and propose an algorithm that can assist the two networks to converge to Nash equilibrium. Our results demonstrate the convergence of the proposed algorithm to the Nash equilibrium in finite number of iterations. Overall, this work forms one of the few concrete works that symbiotically merge tools from stochastic geometry and game theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the 32nd Division of the US Army's American Expeditionary Force (AEWF) was examined and analyzed, highlighting its growth as a learning organization, commander's visualization and application of operational art.
Abstract: : Upon entering WWI in April 1917, the US Army required a significant increase in operational size and capability. Historically, fear of a large standing army led to a precarious reliance on reserve forces to augment the active component in times of need. The National Defense Act of 1916 completed the transition of all state militias into the National Guard, reinforcing its position as the primary organized reserve within the formal defense architecture. The Guard of 1917 lacked operational capability, yet the 32nd Division quickly assembled, trained, and proved itself as one of the most skilled divisions in the American Expeditionary Force. Examination and analysis of mobilization, pre-war training, and staff development establishes the state of the division prior to arriving in France. Further analysis of the division's development in actual combat highlights its growth as a learning organization, commander's visualization and application of operational art, and how capable staffs enable both. Critical lessons applicable to National Guard mobilization emerge from analyzing the division's evolution.
