  • Tuesday 13 November 2007
    Tuesday 13 November 2007 RE: Response to the proposed BSkyB digital terrestrial television services consultation I wish to start by personally thanking you for allowing me to respond to the plans that British Sky Broadcastings plans to launch their Picnic platform on Digital Terrestrial Television, including the launch of the following services: z Sky Sports One; z A children's channel/Sky Movies SD One; z A factual channel/Sky News/Sky One; z Sky News (if BSkyB is given permission to launch a fourth service on DTT using MPEG-4 encoding); z Broadband up to 16Mbps and a telephony service. I wish to begin by giving an idea of my thoughts on the proposal by BSkyB before I answer the questions in the consultation document. Introduction 1. Regarding the use of by BSkyB and NDS Group, the VideoGuard conditional access technology for its pay television services. According to the press release that was released by BSkyB on the 8th of February 2007,1 the service will use a highly secure conditional access system similar to the one BSkyB uses for its digital satellite services, Sky Digital and FreesatFromSky. I also understand that Sky has also stated that viewers will require a new set-top-box to access the new service. In the past, since the launch of the Sky satellite television service in February 1989 via the Astra satellite, BSkyB have always used NDS Group technology to encrypt and protect their own branded services, with both the VideoCrypt and VideoGuard conditional access systems for their Sky analogue and digital satellite services respectively.

UBRARIES Traitor Tracing through Function Sharing by Cem Q~elebiler Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on December 15, 1995, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Master of Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering Abstract To broadcast information (for example pay-television) over insecure channels (for ex- ample the public airwaves) to a set of paying subscribers, the broadcaster may employ encryption to prevent non-subscribers from gaining access to the programming. A risk to the broadcaster is that subscribers may sell or give their decryption key to non-subscribers and thus deprive the broadcaster of potential revenue. Traitor trac- ing schemes are key management schemes that allow the broadcaster to trace any subscriber who sells his key.

INTRODUCTION This paper describes the development and use of MatML, the XML, the eXtensible Markup Language is today a widely Materials Markup Language. MatML is an emerging XML accepted standard for storage and exchange of information. It standard intended primarily for the exchange of materials serves a twofold purpose of providing a data model for storing property information. It provides a medium of communication for information and a medium of communication for exchanging users in materials science and related fields such as manufacturing information over the worldwide web [29]. and aerospace. It sets the stage for the development of semantic Domain-specific markup languages are often defined within the web standards to enhance knowledge discovery in materials context of XML to serve as the means for storing and exchanging science and related areas. MatML has been used in applications information in the respective domains. Some examples of such such as the development of materials digital libraries and analysis markup languages include [14, 9]: of contaminant emissions data. Data mining applications of MatML include statistical process control and failure analysis. • AniML: Analytical Information Markup Language Challenges in promoting MatML involve satisfying a broad range • ChemML: Chemical Markup Language of constituencies in the international engineering and materials science community and also adhering to other related standards in • femML: Finite Element Modeling Markup Language web data exchange.

With the emergence and proliferation of high technologies we cannot content with the security provided by paper only. Therefore the society has chosen plastic to protect its information because it offers far more security based not only on human perception but also on machine-readable elements. The number of plastic cards in circulation in different spheres of our everyday life increases constantly. They replace money, documents and allow easy and safe access to some services. In spite of its security the plastic card however is subjected to fraud. Plastic card fraud results in significant losses for the various industries. Since the first appearance of plastic cards methods of committing fraud have changed dramatically. Now there is a wide range of high technologies at the disposal of criminals as well as card manufacturers. Therefore we have put the great emphasize of this work on the analysis of the most common card technologies in the Plastic Card World, the magnetic stripe and the chip, existing crimes and main means of their committing.
