O Presidente do Júri, Porto, ______/______/_________ Acknowledgments I would like to express my appreciation for the help of my supervisor in researching and bringing different perspectives and to thank my family, for their support and dedication. 3 Abstract Information Systems have been a key tool for the overall performance improvement of administrative tasks in academic institutions. While most systems intend to deliver a paperless environment to each institution it is recurrent that document integrity and accountability is still relying on traditional methods such as producing physical documents for signing and archiving. While this method delivers a non-efficient work- flow and has an effective monetary cost, it is still the common method to provide a degree of integrity and accountability on the data contained in the databases of the information systems. The evaluation of a document signature is not a straight forward process, it requires the recipient to have a copy of the signers signature for comparison and training beyond the scope of any office employee training, this leads to a serious compromise on the trustability of each document integrity and makes the verification based entirely on the trust of information origin which is not enough to provide non-repudiation to the institutions.

  • XML Signature/Encryption — the Basis of Web Services Security
    Special Issue on Security for Network Society Falsification Prevention and Protection Technologies and Products XML Signature/Encryption — the Basis of Web Services Security By Koji MIYAUCHI* XML is spreading quickly as a format for electronic documents and messages. As a consequence, ABSTRACT greater importance is being placed on the XML security technology. Against this background research and development efforts into XML security are being energetically pursued. This paper discusses the W3C XML Signature and XML Encryption specifications, which represent the fundamental technology of XML security, as well as other related technologies originally developed by NEC.

  • Feasibility and Performance Evaluation of Canonical XML
    Feasibility and Performance Evaluation of Canonical XML Student Research Project Manuel Binna Student: E-mail: [email protected] Matriculation Number: 108004202162 Supervisor: Dipl.-Inf. Meiko Jensen Period: 20.07.2010 - 19.10.2010 Chair for Network and Data Security Prof. Dr. Jörg Schwenk Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology Ruhr University Bochum Feasibility and Performance Evaluation of Canonical XML Manuel Binna Abstract Within the boundaries of the XML specification, XML documents can be formatted in various ways without losing the logical equivalence of its content within the scope of the application. However, some applications like XML Signature cannot deal with this flexibility, thus needing a definite textual representation in order to distinguish changes which do or do not alter the logical equivalence of XML content. Canonical XML provides a method to transform textually different yet logically equivalent XML content into a single definite textual representation. This work evaluates the upcoming new major version Canonical XML Version 2.0 with respect to feasibility and performance.

  • A Layered Approach to XML Canonicalization
    A Layered Approach to XML Canonicalization A Position Paper for the W3C Workshop on Next Steps for XML Signature and XML Encryption Ed Simon, XMLsec Inc. [email protected] 1 Background ● XML Canonicalization enables reliable textual and binary comparison of XML documents through the removal of irrelevant differences in structure and content ● Current approach is to write a single specification that details how all parts of XML instances are to be canonicalized ● Proposed alternative approach is to layer canonicalization rules according to the XML stack: core, schema-specific, namespace-specific ● Potential advantages include flexibility and significant optimization of processing 2 Canonicalization Layers ● Core – Normalizes the elements, attributes, and whitespace of an XML instance ● Schema-Aware – Normalization of schema- aware aspects including default attributes, schema-defined data types, etc ● Namespace-Aware – Normalization of XML information set nodes that belong to, or are contained by nodes that belong to, an XML node declared with a particular namespace. Includes the normalization of namespace declarations themselves. 3 Core Canonicalization ● Defined much as per W3C XML Canonicalization version 1.1 ● Only canonicalizes what can be derived from the text of the XML instance ● Includes formatting of XML elements and attributes, whitespace, line breaks, CDATA, entities, etc... ● No namespace normalization (but don't worry, it's coming!) 4 Core Canonicalization Example <xsl:stylesheet version='2.0' xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns1="http://www.xmlsec.com/namespaces/a" > <xsl:template match="/"> <p>Total Amount: <xsl:value-of ... ...select="ns1:expense-report/ns1:total"/></p> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ...will be, after core canonicalization, found to be identical to..

Can read whole sheet or a range, from several file formats, including the native format of 'gnumeric'. Reading is done by using 'ssconvert' (a file converter utility included in the 'gnumeric' distribution <http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/>) to convert the requested part to CSV. From 'gnumeric' files (but not other formats) can list sheet names and sheet sizes or read all sheets.

Requires an external program, ‘ssconvert’ (normally installed with gnumeric in ‘PATH’. (Gnumeric home page is http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/) (Note: last gnumeric release for windows is 1.12.17 from 2014) Calls ‘ssconvert’ to convert the input to CSV. ‘ssconvert’ can read several file formats (see Details below). Note: During conversion to CSV ‘ssconvert’ also evaluates formulas (e.g. ‘=sum(A1:A3)’) in cells, and emits the result instead of the formula.
