A/B Testing 5. Affiliate A/B Testing is a method used by website development companies to compare two web pages to determine An affiliate is a type of inter-company relationship which one performs better. There are two variants of where one firm sells other merchants’ products on his the web page which are shown randomly to the own website. An affiliate can be termed as a prospect and the page which provides a good commercial partner of the merchant who promotes conversion rate is opted. Thus this mechanism helps the merchant’s products and services on his website to figure out the best online promotional and marketing by means of different visual tools. strategies for online business. In return an affiliate is paid commission by the A/B Testing is also called as Split Testing and can be merchant if the customer comes to his website and used on popups and emails too. makes a purchase of the merchant’s goods. An affiliate is determined by the degree of ownership a parent Example – Humana’s banner testing example clearly reveals the effectiveness of A/B testing in increasing company holds in another company. the clickthroughs. 6. Affiliate Marketing This is a marketing arrangement in which a business pays commission to one or more affiliates for each conversion achieved due to affiliate’s marketing efforts. In simple words, when an external website refers a customer to your online site and makes a purchase, the external website receives a commission for directing traffic to your site for sales. Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing.

B2B (Business to An API is a set of protocols, specifications or instructions allowing two software applications to Business) interact and exchange data. It is used for developing In eCommerce, B2B is referred to as exchange of software applications where it acts as an interface between different software programs and allows products and services between two businesses. It is a situation where one business commercially transacts interaction. with the other business.

    Security Now! #731 - 09-10-19 DeepFakes This week on Security Now! This week we look at a forced two-day recess of all schools in Flagstaff, Arizona, the case of a Ransomware operator being too greedy, Apple's controversial response to Google's posting last week about the watering hole attacks, Zerodium's new payout schedule and what it might mean, the final full public disclosure of BlueKeep exploitation code, some potentially serious flaws found and fixed in PHP that may require our listener's attention, some SQRL news, miscellany, and closing-the-loop feedback from a listener. Then we take our first look on this podcast into the growing problem and threat of "DeepFake" media content. All Flagstaff Arizona Schools Cancelled Thursday, August 5th And not surprisingly, recess is extended through Friday: https://www.fusd1.org/facts https://www.facebook.com/FUSD1/ ​ ​ And Saturday... Security Now! #730 1 And Sunday... Security News A lesson for greedy ransomware: Ask for too much… and you get nothing! After two months of silence, last Wednesday Mayor Jon Mitchell of New Bedford, Massachusetts held their first press conference to tell the interesting story of their ransomware attack... The city's IT network was hit with the Ryuk (ree-ook) ransomware which, by the way, Malwarebytes now places at the top of the list of file-encrypting malware targeting businesses. It'll be interesting to see whether So-Dino-Kee-Bee's affiliate marketing model is able to displace Ryuk. But, in any event, very fortunately for the city of New Bedford, hackers breached the city's IT network and got Ryuk running in the wee hours of the morning following the annual 4th of July holiday.

  • Boosting Public Participation in Urban Planning Through the Use of Web GIS Technology: a Case Study of Stockholm County
    DEGREE PROJECT IN REGIONAL PLANNING, SECOND LEVEL STOCKHOLM 2014 Boosting Public Participation in Urban Planning Through the Use of Web GIS Technology: A Case Study of Stockholm County MAHNAZ NAROOIE SoM EX 2014-16 ___________________________________________ KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Department of Urban Planning and Environment Division of Urban and Regional Studies Abstract Providing citizens with the robust and suitable tools to effectively participate in the planning process is a necessity nowadays. Also, changes in the capabilities and popularity of new technologies have dramatically raised the number of technology-based tools that are potentially available for enhancing public participation in the planning process. This study explores both the theoretical aspect of collaborative planning and the effects that Web- based Public Participatory GIS (WPPGIS) applications and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has on the planning process. Findings indicate that the WPPGIS applications have the potential for increasing participation. It is also found that besides the contextual elements like the attitudes of planners and decision makers, the technological features such as proper user interface, price of software, technical and literacy skills are seen as crucial hindrances to bridging the planning process and technology-based solutions. This research also attempts to combine IAP2 Public Participation Spectrum and technological functionalities into a single framework to understand the implementation of WPPGIS applications in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Finally, based on the given criteria and assessment of the reviewed applications, this study concludes with the design and implementation of a prototype WPPGIS application using Open-Source Technologies (OST).

  • Progressive Authentication in Ios
    Progressive Authentication in iOS Genghis Chau, Denis Plotnikov, Edwin Zhang December 12th, 2014 1 Overview In today's increasingly mobile-centric world, more people are beginning to use their smart- phones for important tasks. This means that many applications will need increased security in order to prevent any unauthorized access. Especially since applications are often always logged in, a careless user who leaves his or her phone unlocked is vulnerable to having po- tentially malicious users easily access sensitive information in apps like mailing or banking applications. In order to counter this on the iOS platform, we build a framework that al- lows developers to use per-app authentication. We tackle this problem from the developer's perspective, as OS-level modifications are much more difficult due to iOS source code being unavailable for analysis. Along with the framework, we complement the system with addi- tional authentication methods, including a server that allows for using one-time passcodes to log into applications. Finally, we discuss further extensions to our work, and their security implications. 2 Background 2.1 Design Our contribution is providing an iOS framework for developers to use in order to force users to reauthenticate when they browse away from the application. This prevents mali- cious attackers from having access to all applications if they are able to get past the phone lock. Currently, a number of authentication schemes are available for use in our framework, including an alphanumeric password, TouchID, Android-style lock patterns, and one-time passcodes. We also provide an Django server that will allow users to generate the one-time passcodes to log into the application.

  • Lweb: Information Flow Security for Multi-Tier Web Applications
    LWeb: Information Flow Security for Multi-tier Web Applications JAMES PARKER, University of Maryland, USA NIKI VAZOU∗, IMDEA Software Institute, Spain MICHAEL HICKS, University of Maryland, USA This paper presents LWeb, a framework for enforcing label-based, information flow policies in database-using web applications. In a nutshell, LWeb marries the LIO Haskell IFC enforcement library with the Yesod web programming framework. The implementation has two parts. First, we extract the core of LIO into a monad transformer (LMonad) and then apply it to Yesod’s core monad. Second, we extend Yesod’s table definition DSL and query functionality to permit defining and enforcing label-based policies on tables and enforcing them during query processing. LWeb’s policy language is expressive, permitting dynamic per-table and per-row 75 policies. We formalize the essence of LWeb in the λLWeb calculus and mechanize the proof of noninterference in Liquid Haskell. This mechanization constitutes the first metatheoretic proof carried out in Liquid Haskell. We also used LWeb to build a substantial web site hosting the Build it, Break it, Fix it security-oriented programming contest. The site involves 40 data tables and sophisticated policies. Compared to manually checking security policies, LWeb imposes a modest runtime overhead of between 2% to 21%. It reduces the trusted code base from the whole application to just 1% of the application code, and 21% of the code overall (when counting LWeb too). CCS Concepts: • Software and its engineering → Semantics; • Security and privacy → Logic and verification; Web application security; Additional Key Words and Phrases: security, information flow control, metatheory, Liquid Haskell, Haskell ACM Reference Format: James Parker, Niki Vazou, and Michael Hicks.
