ABOUT PROGRAMS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS Any time a task is performed on a computer, it is done through a program. For the user, the program is the application – the tool – for accomplishing a task. For the computer, it is a set of instructions on knowing how to perform this task. Examples of programs include Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word. The most important program overall is the operating system, which manages all of the computer’s resources and decides how to treat input from the user. There are several different operating systems in circulation, such as Mac O/S and Linux. However, far and away, the most commonly-used operating system is Microsoft Windows. (Note that Microsoft is just the name of the company that makes Windows, and that there are several versions of Windows. In 2012 all the computers in the lab were updated to the version of Windows called Windows 7.

  • Visual Validation of SSL Certificates in the Mozilla Browser Using Hash Images
    CS Senior Honors Thesis: Visual Validation of SSL Certificates in the Mozilla Browser using Hash Images Hongxian Evelyn Tay [email protected] School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Advisor: Professor Adrian Perrig Electrical & Computer Engineering Engineering & Public Policy School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Monday, May 03, 2004 Abstract Many internet transactions nowadays require some form of authentication from the server for security purposes. Most browsers are presented with a certificate coming from the other end of the connection, which is then validated against root certificates installed in the browser, thus establishing the server identity in a secure connection. However, an adversary can install his own root certificate in the browser and fool the client into thinking that he is connected to the correct server. Unless the client checks the certificate public key or fingerprint, he would never know if he is connected to a malicious server. These alphanumeric strings are hard to read and verify against, so most people do not take extra precautions to check. My thesis is to implement an additional process in server authentication on a browser, using human recognizable images. The process, Hash Visualization, produces unique images that are easily distinguishable and validated. Using a hash algorithm, a unique image is generated using the fingerprint of the certificate. Images are easily recognizable and the user can identify the unique image normally seen during a secure AND accurate connection. By making a visual comparison, the origin of the root certificate is known. 1. Introduction: The Problem 1.1 SSL Security The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Protocol has improved the state of web security in many Internet transactions, but its complexity and neglect of human factors has exposed several loopholes in security systems that use it.

  • Change Status Bar Color Android Activity
    Change status bar color android activity Continue According to Ashley Poland One of the perks for the Android mobile system is the complete setup. You can find an app to replace all the stock apps that come on your Android device, including the status bar. Using the app to replace status bars, you can change not only the background of the status bar, but also the appearance of icons and icons which are displayed on the state bar. You don't need to root your Android phone to install a status bar replacement app. You can find several status bar management apps and settings for Android, each of which has a different set of tools and features. Free (but ad-supported) apps can be viewed in Super Status Bar or Omega StatusBar. Both offer premium versions of the app that remove ads and add additional features. However, you can use the free version for as long as you want. In both cases, the ability to change the color of the Android status bar is a free feature. For premium apps, StatusBar and Notification Bar Deluxe offer a wide range of tools and features, including information management from the notification menu. All of these apps are available in the Google Play store (links to resources). There's more to most bar status management apps than being able to change the color of bar status on your Android phone. These apps often allow you to add status elements to the notification bar, change the icons that appear, and even change the colors of the icons to make them work with the color of your bar status.
