For example, a person might wish to access a business file (formerly stored on a work computer or perhaps even in a file cabinet at the office) from her smart phone. Similarly, another might wish to access his MP3 collection (stored on an iPod or personal computer) from his work computer. Such technological progress has paved the way for innovative digital, cable and Internet services that enable users to enjoy copyrighted content in new ways: from time-shifting via VCRs1 to place-shifting via new TV devices;2 from instantly purchasing a movie through video on demand to watching a live stream of sports coverage on the Internet. One type of service that has recently proliferated is the digital storage locker—also known as the cyber locker.3 Digital storage lockers enable users to * J.D., Columbia Law School, 2012; B.A. English, Cornell University, 2007.

    Building a Home Theater Personal Computer Karyl F. Stein Executive Summary This document outlines the experiences of building a home theater personal computer (HTPC). It is very specific in the hardware and software used, and has one major goal of being a road map for rebuilding the HTPC in the future if needed. However, several topics of concern that a person building an HTPC will face are also discussed. Therefore, this document may also be useful to those researching how to build their own personal HTPC even if different hardware and software choices are made. Finally, various configuration options for some common hardware and software packages are outlined, which makes this document possibly useful for those struggling to make certain components work together.

  • Password-Based Encryption in ZIP Files

    Password-Based Encryption in ZIP Files

    Password-based encryption in ZIP files Dmitri Gabbasov December 15, 2015 Abstract In this report we give an overview of the encryption schemes used in the ZIP file format. We first give an overview of the file format itself and then describe three encryption schemes that can be used in ZIP files. Ultimately we will try to decide which scheme should be preferred. 1 Introduction The ZIP file format was created in 1989 by PKWARE Inc. [2] and was first implemented in the company’s PKZIP utility. The format has been documented in a specification document referred to as APPNOTE [1]. The earliest available version of APPNOTE (version 1.0) was written in 1990 [3]. The current version is 6.3.4, published in 2014. The ZIP file format is widely known and is one of the most popular formats used to compress files. It is in fact a container format that supports a variety of compression algorithms, with deflate being the most common one. 2 ZIP file format ZIP files are archives that store multiple files. Each file inside the archive is compressed individ- ually, making it possible to extract them or add new ones without compressing or decompressing the entire archive. This contrasts with the format of compressed TAR archives, for which such random access is not possible. Following is the structure of a ZIP archive containing n files. 1 Local file header 1 File data 1 Local file header 2 File data 2 . Local file header n File data n Central directory file header 1 Central directory file header 2 .

  • Getting Started with LINUX a Personal Experience

    Getting Started with LINUX a Personal Experience

    Getting Started with LINUX a personal experience IWPCUG March 7th 2018 Mike Hoar Have been on the fringes of Linux for some years (I pronounce it the Scandinavian way Lee-nux a combination of Linnus Thorvald and UNIX). This presentation provides an introduction to Linux in the form of a record of my investigations and experience of installing, configuring and initial use of a Linux setup. 1 Part 1: The Background • What is Linux? • What do I want to use it for? • What hardware do I have? 2 What is LINUX? An Operating System Just like Windows, iOS and UNIX Computers need an OS, software and peripheral hardware to perform. The OS enables the software to run and communicate with the printers, monitors and other media devices. Just like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put it simply – the operating system manages the communication between your software and your hardware. Without the operating system (often referred to as the “OS”), the software wont function. Operating systems have been around since general purpose computers were first developed. They have just got more sophisticated and complex. The first home computers such as the Commadore64 and Sinclair ZX machines had the OS hard wired into the machine. When the IBM PC was developed it came with the first OS which was installed every time you started up the machine, this was Microsofts DOS. Other versions were soon developed which were compatible with software written to run on MS-DOS .
