AMD Alchemy™ Processors Building a Root File System for Linux® Incorporating Memory Technology Devices
AMD Alchemy™ Processors Building a Root File System for Linux® Incorporating Memory Technology Devices 1.0 Scope This document outlines a step-by-step process for building and deploying a Flash-based root file system for Linux® on an AMD Alchemy™ processor-based development board, using an approach that incorporates Memory Technology Devices (MTDs) with the JFFS2 file system. Note: This document describes creating a root file system on NOR Flash memory devices, and does not apply to NAND Flash devices. 1.1 Journaling Flash File System JFFS2 is the second generation of the Journaling Flash File System (JFFS). This file system provides a crash-safe and powerdown-safe Linux file system for use with Flash memory devices. The home page for the JFFS project is located at http://developer.axis.com/software/jffs. 1.2 Memory Technology Device The MTD subsystem provides a generic Linux driver for a wide range of memory devices, including Flash memory devices. This driver creates an abstracted device used by JFFS2 to interface to the actual Flash memory hardware. The home page for the MTD project is located at http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org. 2.0 Building the Root File System Before being deployed to an AMD Alchemy platform, the file system must first be built on an x86 Linux host PC. The pri- mary concern when building a Flash-based root file system is often the size of the image. The file system must be designed so that it fits within the available space of the Flash memory, with enough extra space to accommodate any runtime-created files, such as temporary or log files. -

Ensuring Data Confidentiality Via Plausibly Deniable Encryption and Secure Deletion – a Survey Qionglu Zhang1,2,3, Shijie Jia1,2*, Bing Chang4 and Bo Chen5*
Zhang et al. Cybersecurity (2018) 1:1 Cybersecurity https://doi.org/10.1186/s42400-018-0005-8 SURVEY Open Access Ensuring data confidentiality via plausibly deniable encryption and secure deletion – a survey Qionglu Zhang1,2,3, Shijie Jia1,2*, Bing Chang4 and Bo Chen5* Abstract Ensuring confidentiality of sensitive data is of paramount importance, since data leakage may not only endanger data owners’ privacy, but also ruin reputation of businesses as well as violate various regulations like HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley Act. To provide confidentiality guarantee, the data should be protected when they are preserved in the personal computing devices (i.e., confidentiality during their lifetime); and also, they should be rendered irrecoverable after they are removed from the devices (i.e., confidentiality after their lifetime). Encryption and secure deletion are used to ensure data confidentiality during and after their lifetime, respectively. This work aims to perform a thorough literature review on the techniques being used to protect confidentiality of the data in personal computing devices, including both encryption and secure deletion. Especially for encryption, we mainly focus on the novel plausibly deniable encryption (PDE), which can ensure data confidentiality against both a coercive (i.e., the attacker can coerce the data owner for the decryption key) and a non-coercive attacker. Keywords: Data confidentiality, Plausibly deniable encryption, Secure deletion Introduction Spahr LLP: State and local governments move swiftly to Modern computing devices (e.g., desktops, laptops, smart sue equifax 2017); Third, it will directly violate regulations phones, tablets, wearable devices) are increasingly used like HIPAA (Congress 1996), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act to process sensitive or even mission critical data. -

ANDROID PRIVACY THROUGH ENCRYPTION by DANIEL
ANDROID PRIVACY THROUGH ENCRYPTION by DANIEL DEFREEZ A THESIS Presented to the Department of Computer Science in partial fullfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science Ashland, Oregon May 2012 ii APPROVAL PAGE “Android Privacy Through Encryption,” a thesis prepared by Daniel DeFreez in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science. This project has been approved and accepted by: Dr. Lynn Ackler, Chair of the Examining Committee Date Pete Nordquist, Committee Member Date Hart Wilson, Committee Member Date Daniel DeFreez c 2012 iii ABSTRACT OF THESIS ANDROID PRIVACY THROUGH ENCRYPTION By Daniel DeFreez This thesis explores the field of Android forensics in relation to a person’s right to privacy. As the field of mobile forensics becomes increasingly sophisticated, it is clear that bypassing common privacy measures, such as disk encryption, will become routine. A new keying method for eCryptfs is proposed that could significantly mitigate memory attacks against encrypted file systems. It is shown how eCryptfs could be modified to implement this keying method on an Android device. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Lynn Ackler for introducing me to the vast world of computer security and forensics, cultivating a healthy paranoia, and for being a truly excellent teacher. Dr. Dan Harvey, Pete Nordquist, and Hart Wilson provided helpful feedback during the preparation of this thesis, for which I thank them. I am deeply indebted to my friends and colleagues Brandon Kester, Andrew Krug, Adam Mashinchi, Jeff McJunkin, and Stephen Perkins, for their enthusiastic interest in the forensics and security fields, insightful comments, love of free software, and encouraging words. -

A Hitchhiker's Guide for Performance Assessment and Benchmarking SAS® Applications
SAS Global Forum 2012 Systems Architecture and Administration Paper 367-2012 A Hitchhiker's guide for performance assessment & benchmarking SAS® applications Viraj Kumbhakarna, JPMorgan Chase, Columbus, OH Anurag Katare, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Teaneck, NJ ABSTRACT Almost every IT department today, needs some kind of an IT infrastructure to support different business processes in the organization. For a typical IT organization the ensemble of hardware, software, networking facilities may constitute the IT infrastructure. IT infrastructure is setup in order to develop, test, deliver, monitor, control or support IT services. Sometimes multiple applications may be hosted on a common server platform. With a continual increase in the user base, ever increasing volume of data and perpetual increase in number of processes required to support the growing business need, there often arises a need to upgrade the IT infrastructure. The paper discusses a stepwise approach to conduct a performance assessment and a performance benchmarking exercise required to assess the current state of the IT infrastructure (constituting the hardware and software) prior to an upgrade. It considers the following steps to be followed in order to proceed with a planned approach to implement process improvement. 1) Phase I: Assessment & Requirements gathering a) Understand ASIS process b) Assess AIX UNIX server configuration 2) Phase II: Performance assessment and benchmarking a) Server performance i) Server Utilization ii) Memory Utilization iii) Disk Utilization iv) Network traffic v) Resource Utilization b) Process Performance i) CPU Usage ii) Memory usage iii) Disc space 3) Phase III: Interpretation of results for performance improvement INTRODUCTION The paper discusses a practical assessment exercise that was carried out for benchmarking performance of SAS® processes on a UNIX AIX® 64 server having the SAS® 9.2 Foundation package installed on it.
