  • Keeping Secrets in Hardware: the Microsoft XBox Case Study
  • This paper discusses the hardware foundations of the cryptosystem employed by the Xbox TM video game console from Microsoft. A secret boot block overlay is buried within a system ASIC. This secret boot block decrypts and verifies portions of an external FLASH-type ROM. The presence of the secret boot block is camouflaged by a decoy boot block in the external ROM. The code contained within the secret boot block is transferred to the CPU in the clear over a set of high-speed busses where it can be extracted using simple custom hardware. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving the Xbox security system. One lesson of this study is that the use of a high-performance bus alone is not a sufficient security measure, given the advent of inexpensive, fast rapid prototyping services and high-performance FPGAs. Every cryptosystem is based on some kind of secret, such as a key. Regardless of the cipher, the security of a cryptosystem is only as strong as the secrecy of the key. Thus, some of the most startlingly effective attacks on a cryptosystem involve no ciphertext analysis, but instead find flaws in the protocols that manage the keys. Cryptosystems based on symmetric ciphers are particularly vulnerable to protocol attacks, since both the sender and the receiver must be trusted to have a copy of the same secret key. Despite the difficulty of key management in symmetric ciphers, they remain attractive because of their algorithmic simplicity and high throughput when compared to public key ciphers.

  • Compatibility With Visual BASIC
  • The language structures in OpenOffice.org BASIC are very similar to those used in Visual BASIC. The methods used for accessing the underlying documents, however, are vastly different and have essentially no compatibility with each other. Entire books have been written dealing with the differences between Visual BASIC 6 (VB6), Visual BASIC.NET (VB.NET), and Visual BASIC for Applications (VBA). This chapter is only an overview of issues concerning compatibility between the OpenOffice.org BASIC and Visual BASIC. I use VBA, VB6 and VB.NET to refer to the specific versions and VB to generically refer to either or both versions. To convert VB macros that do not access the underlying documents, my first step is to bring them into OOo and fix the syntax errors. The second step is to remove the errors introduced due to differences in behavior. Thorough testing is required to avoid subtle problems. Significant code changes are required to convert the sections that access the underlying document structures. VBA is the variant used by Microsoft Office. VB.NET was released after VBA so it is possible that a later version of VBA will follow in the direction of VB.NET. Some of the keywords supported by OOo BASIC and deprecated when moving from VB6 and VBA to VB.NET... Download pdf Compatibility With Visual BASIC
  • Resolving Tag Ambiguity
  • Tagging is an important way for users to succinctly describe the content they upload to the Internet. However, most tag-suggestion systems recommend words that are highly correlated with the existing tag set, and thus add little information to a user’s contribution. This paper describes a means to determine the ambiguity of a set of (user-contributed) tags and suggests new tags that disambiguate the original tags. We introduce a probabilistic framework that allows us to find two tags that appear in different contexts but are both likely to co-occur with the original tag set. If such tags can be found, the current description is considered “ambiguous” and the two tags are recommended to the user for further clarification. In contrast to previous work, we only query the user when information is most needed and good suggestions are available. We verify the efficacy of our approach using geographical, temporal and semantic metadata, and a user study. We built our system using statistics from a large (100M) database of images and their tags. Tags are an important part of today’s multimedia databases. They are often contributed by users when they submit an image or video and form a key part of the search experience. Content-based multimedia search remains out of reach, and a simple tag like “Tokyo” provides more information than we can possibly glean from content-based algorithms. Thus, making it as easy as possible for users to enter tags alongside multimedia content is important. This work addresses the problem of eliciting high-quality tags
  • SEO in the Web 2.0 Era: The Evolution of Search Engine Optimization
  • To those of us whose passion for the growth of the World Wide Web is exceeded only by the marketing possibilities that emerge from that growth, the Internet has become a playground for the imagination. There is a large number of marketers, however, who are fascinated by the Web but approach its marketing capabilities more out of necessity than lifestyle. The Internet’s capacity has advanced in so many areas in the past few years that marketers playing catch-up are at a significant disadvantage. Marketing directors and account managers with traditional media backgrounds need to expand their breadth of knowledge in order to make informed decisions in today’s e-commerce. This article provides clarification surrounding the fairly recent buzzword “Web 2.0” and focuses on the evolution and future of the search engine born occupation of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO and its implications are expanding so fast and in so many directions that it has never been more important for C level professionals and traditionally oriented marketers to fully understand the world of Internet search. II. Search Engines: A Brief History When the first search engines began cataloging the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s, obtaining a high rank on search engine results pages (SERP) was not particularly difficult or secretive. It was the webmasters who submitted URLs to the engines and communicated a page’s relevancy to a keyword search through keyword meta tags in the HTML code. Early engines, like AltaVista, struggled with providing relevant search results because webmasters, who were paid on a
  • Renault Grand Scenic PDF Manual
  • The constant determination which has transcended every period of Renault’s existence, guiding our options and governing the directions in which we have developed, is now helping to establish our reputation. At the dawn of this third millennium, our dedication to innovation is not just central to our own concerns but also to those of the individual motorist who is now entitled to expect not only that a vehicle will provide safety, performance and respect for the environment, but also intelligence. Creation means bringing together intuition and expertise. At a time when performance and individualism were in fashion we were the first to break with established thinking by imagining an MPV. To launch the audacious elegance of the Vel Satis and the innovative but winning lines of the New Mégane, we again had to dare to be different. Innovation is born when an idea meets a need. We have a flair for picking up on your wishes and visualising your expectations and this has enabled us to design vehicles that are a natural extension of living space (Espace), to invent modularity (Scénic), the keyless car (Laguna) and the automatic parking brake (Vel Satis), exceeding your expectations at each stage. It is by imagining what will be commonplace tomorrow that we have been able to realise the dream of the intelligent car, capable of helping drivers to hold their course and of assisting them to do what is essential to keep them and their passengers safe. As a result, following crash tests
  • A LATEX survival guide for Unix systems
  • This document is designed to provide new users of LAEX with a reference for the local features not documented in the manual (The LATEX Book, Lesley Lamport, Addison Wesley 1987); it takes the place of the Local Guide referred to in the book. For a general introduction to LATEX, you are referred to the companion manual Essential LATEX ++, mostly by Jon Warbrick. For a general introduction to the concepts of the TEX software distribution, see Joachim Schrod’s Components of TEX. Readers of this document will normally be staff or students who have either taught themselves LATEX, or are being taught it as part of a course. Completely new users should read Essential LATEX ++ £rst, to familiarize themselves with basic concepts. Most of this manual is for reference purposes, so do not read it as a tutorial text! LATEX runs on a variety of computers at many different sites. This document tells you how to use LATEX on Unix computers. It is not about LATEX itself, which is described by the manual—LATEX: A Document Preparation System, published by Addison-Wesley, available at the book shop. If you have a question that you can’t answer by reading the manual and this document, ask the local support team. Download pdf A LATEX survival guide for Unix systems
