Introduction to Biometrics Creating a Safer Workplace Seminar T0pic:

This paper is about Biometrics which is a Greek word where bios stand for life and metrics for the measure. It is an accurate method of authentication which verifies the person using physiological and biological traits for establishing identity.

It can be used in many applications related to many applications involving Internet banking, E-commerce applications and also network-related security settings. 

In the earlier days, various methods of authentication were done. Where firstly Chinese implemented biometrics in form of fingerprinting method and later they have identified people on basis of length of the fingers and even by the size of the skull. And again they have started analysis on fingerprinting itself. 

These methods of identifying people in the past had drawbacks even i.e. there can be people with the same kind of measurements. So these methods have to be revised for identifying real culprits hence biometrics has evolved. 

Biometrics is a pattern recognition system which ensures uniqueness in physiological patterns like voice recognition, facial geometry, fingerprint patterns and more. Each method has its own merits and demerits and Biometrics helps in internet security for improving the confidence of many users using e-commerce applications. 

A different kind of biometric systems includes Hand scans, Voice authentication system, Retina scans, Iris scans, and Facial scans. 

Biometrics implementation can be successful only if proper biometric is installed in the network depending on the security needed and also depending on the type of network and level of security different kinds of biometrics can be used. 

In this paper, there are various methods of authentication is discussed. And in detail description was given regarding Biometrics. Its advantages over other systems are given.

Various technologies are trying hard to maintain security of information using cryptography. In the present paper we speak about cryptographic techniques with three algorithms named private key algorithm, public key algorithm, and using hash functions. This paper also includes the drawbacks of classical cryptography and also needs to update new trends like quantum and elliptic curve cryptography.

These technologies can meet the demands of various environments and many tasks have been automated to simplify the functions of administrators. By this document we can conclude that we can maintain secrecy in message from attacks of message hackers.

The internet is a computer network, has addresses administrated by IANA (Internet address and Naming Authority). Internet which is providing services of communication to its millions of customers, security has become an issue. The applications can range from simple to private communications and also protecting passwords.

It is the art of protecting data. In data and telecommunications, cryptography is necessary when communication is on untrusted medium, which can be any network, especially the Internet.

The three types of cryptographic schemes includes Secret key cryptography which works on a single key, for both encryption and decryption , Public-key which uses one key for encryption and other for decryption and Hash functions makes use of mathematical transformation for encrypting information. In terms of Cryptography the initial unencrypted data is called as plaintext and encrypted data is named as cipher text. 

Depending on security services we use different types of algorithms i.e. If the message is to be sent quickly we use private key algorithm and use public key algorithm if the message to be sent secretly.

There are different schemas for cryptographic algorithm as each application is optimal for specific application where hash functions are suited to provide data integrity and secret key is suited for encryption of messages and key exchange for non-repudiation.

An embedded system is a system which is used for controlling functions within a huge system with real-time constraints. For example a computer system which is designed to be flexible and meeting all user requirements. Embedded systems perform particular tasks the design engineers are responsible for size and cost reduction to increase performance and reliability.

An embedded system is an artifact which involves computation with respect to physical constraints. These are due to reaction to physical environment and also execution on physical platform. Embedded system design includes hardware, software and environment.

There are two ways for constructing systems from basic components i.e. analytically which is an equation-based and other is computational which is machine –based. The analytically view is mostly implemented in electrical engineering whereas computational is widely used in computer science.

Analytical model normally deals with quantitative constraints and has computational complexity whereas a computational model provides rich computational complexity but difficulty in quantitative constraints.

Embedded systems must be designed in such a way that it evenly deals with both physical and computational constraints; and with software and hardware; and even with abstract and transfer functions; with functional and performance requirements; with qualitative and quantitative analysis.

When critical system engineering is compared to that of Best-effort systems engineering the critical system engineering is based on analysis of worst-case where resources are allocated statically whereas best-effort systems are based on average-case analysis where resources are allocated dynamically so that resources and used efficiently.

The paper is about implementation of embedded systems, which increases the performance and reliability; it allows dynamic distribution of resources so that resources can be allocated according to requirement.

Introduction to An Overview of Data Migration Methodology:

Data migration generally refers to transferring of data between computer systems. Data migration is seen in most of the system implementations. There can be cases when data migration is to be done it can be with system redesign ,  and also  situations when existing systems upgrade to new systems or it can be a done as a process of data warehouse.

Everyone has view that two systems which maintain same sort of data might be doing similar things and can be mapped from one other easily. It is not the case. Legacy systems have proven historically at the atomic level of data with respect to integrity.

When dealing with hierarchical and relational systems, the two keystones of hierarchical systems includes de-normalization and redundant storage are two strategies are responsible for making relational cringe. To deal with all the above scenarios we need an approach by which organizations can handle migration projects.

The data migration project plan is divided into seven phases where the first phase is strategy, where strategy is easiest of all phases in planning where the focus of overall project is determined where all will be focusing on requirements of new system but not on data migration. Whereas the analysis phase includes identification of data sources which must be imported to the new system.

The next phase of Designing includes selection of each data element from list source data and then deciding to migrate or not. The build phase includes generation of new data structures and also creation of data structures within the data base. Whereas in testing and implementation phase’s errors are identified which can be either physical or logical and these errors can be rectified or cleaned in next phase of Revise. In the maintain phase all the mappings are validated and implemented successfully.

A decision has to be made regarding the data migration to be done manually or by a tool depends on the Organization.

Introduction to A Tutorial for the Go Programming Language:

The paper is about introduction to the basics of Programming language named GO.  It is for programmers with c or c++ knowledge.  This project describes the language specification with a series of programs implementing key features of the language.

In Go programming every source file is declared using a package statement i.e. package which it belongs to and make use of other packages also.  In this programming Functions are also declared with keyword ‘func’.  And the program starts its execution from the main function only. A string constant contains Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8.

The declaration of comment is similar to that of declaration in c++     /* … */.  Regarding the semicolon we can notice that our general program has no semicolons. In our coding we notice semicolons only in separating clauses of for loops. They are inserted automatically at end of every line and no need to type them.     

Go is a compiled language with two compilers named Gccgo which is a Go compiler that uses as GCC back end. There are also a set of compilers with different names for each architecture: 6g for the 64-bit x86, 8g for the 32-bit x86 and more.  These compilers run faster but generate less code compared to that of Gccgo. Go defines variables of types such as int8, float64 and also unsigned integers like uint, uint32 and more.

With channels, it is possible to serve multiple clients without writing explicit multiplexer. This covers some of the basic topics in general about Go programming language.

In this paper we have introduced a new programming language GO. This is easily understood by the programmers with c or c++ background. And in detail about the language is given.

Introduction to Seminar Topic on Network Traffic Management:

The project named Network Traffic Management presents various issues related to network traffic. A new network management has become necessary for business networks.  All the organizations small, medium or large scale is finding measures to control network traffic for easy flow of resources to perform optimal. Measures include controlling traffic using limited bandwidth for certain applications and minimal bandwidth for others and assigning priorities.

In general network refers to interconnection of computer systems. And these computer systems can be connected using LAN or WAN. In general network traffic represents the density of data at that network. In any network there could be many communication devices waiting for accessing resources and if all the devices try to access the resources at the same time can cause network traffic. This type of exchange of information can be done in form of request, response and control data. Where data is flowed as packets thus we can define network traffic as load on communication devices and system.

The organizations to handle network traffic so that applications get the resources for performing efficiently requires limiting bandwidth to applications and also assigning priorities high or low so that the packets can be routed accordingly without waiting in queue and resulting in network traffic.

In general we measure network traffic to 1.monitor service:  that is ensuring that data is successfully being moved from source to target.2. Network planning: so that we can control resources and ensure no network traffic 3. Cost recovery: In order to maintain costs 4. Research: performed to improve performance of network.

The metrics of traffic depends on packet loss, delay of packets, throughput and availability. we can conclude that network traffic should be given importance for effective performance and steps should be taken by organization to effectively handle the traffic.

Introduction to Network Security and Cryptography Paper Presentation:

In the olden days computer networks were used for sending emails and for sharing the printers so there was no issue of security but now a days people who are using internet as sharing tool hacking the financial products like credit cards, debit cards by hacking the pin numbers and passwords and are misusing the accounts.

To ensure security we perform some of the activities like encoding the messages and send via network along with the key to decode the message and Cryptography is an art of encoding messages such that it can be understood by sender and receiver only.

Cryptography is responsible for performing mathematical operations more than a human being can do in their lifetime. The three types of crystallographic schemes are secret key cryptography, public key cryptography and hash functions.

A network is defined as interconnection of systems and we are not concerned how they are connected. The international standards organization open system interconnect model defines networking as stack of seven layers. Where upper layers of model represent for implementation of network services like encryption and connection management whereas lower layers implement routing, addressing and flow control. 

Security attacks can be either passive attacks or active attacks. It is also important regarding the selection of algorithms and also simple applications are not secure always. Security in communication over insecure channels is the main objective of this paper. Thus a study of cryptography and network security is given.

Introduction to Term Paper Topic on Network Security:

The invention of computer in 20^th century has now become part of our life. When these computer systems are joined resulted in local network. The great invention internet has benefited human beings in every field but at the same time we do have adverse effects getting connected to internet and providing credentials like username and password can be hacked by crackers or hackers. The only answer for this is providing network security. 

In order to understand the principles of network security we need to have basic knowledge on computer networks. And then we have an overview of different networking protocols, the threats that are faced by managers and administrators of computer networks and tools that are used to reduce the risks of networks. 

A network is defined as interconnection of systems and we are not concerned how they are connected. The international standards organization open system interconnect model defines networking as stack of seven layers. Where upper layers of model represent for implementation of network services like encryption and connection management whereas lower layers implement routing, addressing and flow control.

Some of the popular networks includes internet –which is world’s largest network of networks, Arpanet is precursor to internet and is defined as packet switching network. Whereas router is defined as a computer that handles the connection between two or more networks.  Routers will route the packets to destination and decide the route to send the packets.

Firewall is defined as group of components that form a barrier in between two networks. In other words firewall refers to hardware or software or combination of both that filters all the incoming messages. Security can be achieved only with everyone’s cooperation by using practices and policies through which it is achieved.

Introduction to Technical Seminar on Network Security:

In this paper we discuss about network security. Cryptography, authentication and access control mechanisms play an important role for providing security in communications. Measures taken to prevent the misuse, modification or denial of use of knowledge or facts, data is referred to as security.

Network security has become an issue as many organizations or company’s fate depend on network security. Attacks can occur technically by means of specific tools which are designed for attacking the vulnerabilities or resources of computer system or even attacks can also happen using social engineering which means using non-technical means for gaining unauthorized access.

Attacks are of four types namely Access which means gaining access to the information which the unauthorized used is not supposed to have. Secondly Modification which means modifying information by attacker for which he is not authorized to do. Dos attacks are attacks that deny the use of resources to legitimate users for accessing of resources. Repudiation attack is an attack which is caused against the accountability of the information.

Malicious code includes Virus, Trojan horses, Worms. Virus is a set of instructions which insert copies of it to other programs. Other viruses do not perform any act expect spreading to other systems whereas Trojan horses hide malicious nature behind useful applications and worms replicate by itself causing damage to resources.

Various security technologies include usage of firewalls. Firewall is defined as group of components that form a barrier in between two networks. In other words firewall refers to hardware or software or combination of both that filters all the incoming messages.

Determining the threats and managing is very important to run the business smoothly. In spite of minor drawbacks we can regard network security techniques as a great deal of safety.

Introduction to Network Security Seminar Topic:

SECURITY now days have become sensible in real world or in the cyber world. Organizations or Companies are considering the computer security as a serious concern and even maintaining technical teams who can secure the company’s information secure, where most of the criminals are exploring not due to the knowledge but due to ignorance of system administrators. 

Palladium is a protection concept that is not only equipped to protect user from pitfalls and challenges indeed we will discuss about revolutionary aspects of palladium detailed. And a case study was conducted for restructuring the existing data security system of JNTU examination process and was implemented using palladium to show the differences. 

Palladium is not a separate operating system and it is an architectural enhancement to the existing windows kernel and to computer hardware including the CPU. Palladium is not responsible for eliminating any features of windows that users have relayed on. Palladium will work with any program that the user specified regarding security. 

Palladium helps us in identifying theft and is responsible for providing unauthorized access to personal data on the user’s while on the internet or other networks. A palladium locks system’s secrets in the computer and can be unlocked only on terms that the user has specified.

There are even drawbacks with Palladium i.e. all the software and applications needs to be rewritten to use palladium or new applications needs to be written and even changes are to be made for the existing hardware components in order to support palladium. And it may take long time for implementation of this technology in real time.
