  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Tips and Tricks for OS X Lion 10.7 Introduction
    Mac Information Tips and Tricks for OS X Lion 10.7 Introduction: Lion was introduced in the middle of 2011 and came with lots of changes such as Mission Control and Launchpad. However here are a list of smaller changes, ones which you may never have noticed... 1/ Put your contact info on the login screen Lion now allows you to place a personal message with your contact information on the login screen which may be useful if your laptop is lost or stolen. To enable the feature, go to your Security & Privacy in System Preferences, click on the General tab and click on the padlock in the lower left corner to unlock your settings. Then tick the box labeled "Show a message when the screen is locked”. Click on the “Set Lock Message...” button and type in the message which you would like to appear on your login screen. 2/ Always Display Scroll Bars Under Lion, scroll bars on the side have been reduced in importance. In the past, users dragged the scroll bar or used the arrows under the scroll bar. to navigate a document or window. With the advent of trackpads these scroll bars are now just an indication of your position on a page. Under Lion the scroll bars fade out after a few seconds unless you change a setting. In System Preferences, click on the General section, and then choose the “Always” option. 3/ Turn Off Restore Windows Lion also brought in a “restore windows” feature which means that windows which are open when you quit an app re-open the next time you choose that app.

At Stevens Institute of Technology, in Hoboken, NJ, professors repeatedly complained to library staff that the quality of sources that students use in term papers was not acceptable.

  • Keys to the Cloud: Formal Analysis and Concrete Attacks on Encrypted Web Storage
    Keys to the Cloud: Formal Analysis and Concrete Attacks on Encrypted Web Storage Chetan Bansal1, Karthikeyan Bhargavan2, Antoine Delignat-Lavaud2, and Sergio Maffeis3, 1 BITS Pilani-Goa 2 INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt 3 Imperial College London Abstract. To protect sensitive user data against server-side attacks, a number of security-conscious web applications have turned to client-side encryption, where only encrypted user data is ever stored in the cloud. We formally investigate the security of a number of such applications, in- cluding password managers, cloud storage providers, an e-voting website and a conference management system. We find that their security relies on both their use of cryptography and the way it combines with com- mon web security mechanisms as implemented in the browser. We model these applications using the WebSpi web security library for ProVerif, we discuss novel attacks found by automated formal analysis, and we propose robust countermeasures. Keywords: Web Security, Formal Methods, Protocol Verification. 1 Application-Level Cryptography on the Web Many web users routinely store sensitive data online, such as bank accounts, health records and private correspondence. Servers that store such data are a tempting target for cybercrime: a single attack can yield valuable data, such as credit card numbers, for millions of users. As websites move to using cloud- based data storage, the confidentiality of user data and the trustworthiness of the hosting servers has come further into question. Transport layer security (TLS) as provided by HTTPS [21] does not fully address these concerns. TLS protects sensitive data over the wire as it travels between a browser and a website.

  • Modul 3 - Tipsheet
    Modul 3 - Tipsheet Accessibility of a Website die Agentur der Österreichischen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit Zelinkagasse 2, 1010 Wien, Telefon: +43 (0)1 90399–0, [email protected], www.entwicklung.at Getting started: Get a first overview with automated test tools. There is a wide range of tools for checking accessibility. We recommend the plugin Wave, due to its usability and the clear presentation of results. ― Wave: WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (webaim.org) (Plugin for Firefox and Chrome) ― W3c-Checker: The W3C Markup Validation Service ― Siteimprove: Accessibility-tool oriented to fit W3C-guidelines (siteimprove.com) ― AXE:https://www.deque.com/axe/ axe: Accessibility Testing Tools and Software (deque.com) There are 4 criteria to check on the website: 1. Perceivable ― Do all non-text content such as images, graphics and other objects have a meaningful and equivalent text alternative? Test with Wace or with "Images Bookmarklet" (https://pauljadam.com/bookmarklets/images.html drag the bookmarklet from the website to your bookmark toolbar and click on it to see whether alternative texts are available and how they are labelled) ― Do all videos have subtitles (or a text transcript)? ― Does the heading structure reflect the logic of the page? ― Test with “Wave” and/or “h123” Bookmarklet (https://hinderlingvolkart.github.io/h123/, drag the bookmarklet from the website to your bookmark toolbar and click on it to get an overview of the heading structure of the website) ― Do all contrasts meet WCAG 2.1 AA criteria (Test with “Wave” or other tools)? 2. Operable ― Can the page be operated with a keyboard? Can all elements be accessed and operated with the keyboard? Are there any keyboard traps (keyboard user cannot move focus away from an interactive element, occur in input boxes, drop-down menus, or even on hyperlinks)? Test: click on the top left corner of the page and use the tab key to navigate through the page.
