The term ICT is now also used to refer to the convergence of audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. There are large economic incentives (huge cost savings due to elimination of the telephone network) to merge the audio-visual, building management and telephone network with the computer network system using a single unified system of cabling, signal distribution and management. The term Infocommunications is used in some cases as a shorter form of information and communication(s) technology. In fact Infocommunications is the expansion of telecommunications with information processing and content handling functions on a common digital technology base. Page 10 of 288 Information Communication Technology (ICT) Information technology (IT) is the application of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data, often in the context of a business or other enterprise. The term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Several industries are associated with information technology, such as computer hardware, software, electronics, semiconductors, internet, telecom equipment, e-commerce and computer services. In a business context, the Information Technology Association of America has defined information technology

  • Chapter1 History of Computer Security
    Chapter1 History of Computer Security Those who do not learn from the past will repeat it. George Santanya Security is a journey, not a destination. Computer security has been travelling for 40 years, and counting. On this journey, the challenges faced have kept changing, as have the answers to familiar challenges. This first chapter will trace the history of computer security, putting security mechanisms into the perspective of the IT landscape they were developed for. OBJECTIVES • Give an outline of the history of computer security. • Explain the context in which familiar security mechanisms were originally developed. • Show how changes in the application of IT pose new challenges in computer security. • DiscussCOPYRIGHTED the impact of disruptive technologies MATERIAL on computer security. 2 1 HISTORY OF COMPUTER SECURITY 1.1 THE DAWN OF COMPUTER SECURITY New security challenges arise when new – or old – technologies are put to new use. The code breakers at Bletchley Park pioneered the use of electronic programmable computers during World War II [117, 233]. The first electronic computers were built in the 1940s (Colossus, EDVAC, ENIAC) and found applications in academia (Ferranti Mark I, University of Manchester), commercial organizations (LEO, J. Lyons & Co.), and government agencies (Univac I, US Census Bureau) in the early 1950s. Computer security can trace its origins back to the 1960s. Multi-user systems emerged, needing mechanisms for protecting the system from its users, and the users from each other. Protection rings (Section 5.6.4) are a concept dating from this period [108]. Two reports in the early 1970s signal the start of computer security as a field of research in its own right.

  • A Statistical Examination of the Evolution of the UNIX System
    1 IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE University of London A Statistical Examination of The Evolution of the UNIX System by Shamim Sharifuddin Pirzada September 1988 A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Membership of the Imperial College. 2 ABSTRACT The UNIX system is one of the most successful operating systems in use today. However, due to its age, and in view of the tendencies of other operating systems to degenerate over time, concern has been expressed about its potential for further evolution. Modelling techniques have been proposed to view and predict the evolution of software but they have not yet been sufficiently evaluated. The project uses one such technique, developed by Lehman and others, to examine the evolution of UNIX and attempt a prognosis for its future. Hence it critically evaluates Lehman's concepts of program evolution. A brief survey of quantitative software modelling techniques is given with particular emphasis on models which predict the behaviour of software systems already in use. The development of Lehman's "Theory of Program Evolution" is reviewed and the implications of the hypotheses proposed in the theory are discussed. Also, the history of UNIX is presented as a sequence of releases from the main UNIX centres in the Bell System and the University of California, Berkeley. An attempt is made to construct statistical models of the UNIX evolution process by plotting the progress of the three main branches of the UNIX evolution tree (Research UNIX, the System V stream and BSD/UNDC) in terms of changes in various system and process attributes such as size, growth-rate, work- rate and staffing.
