Self-Encryption Scheme for Data Security in Mobile Devices

Tags:
security management

Overview The pervasive use of wireless networks and mobile devices has been changing the living style significantly. Along with great convenience and efficiency, there are new challenges in protecting sensitive and/or private data carried in these devices. The most challenging part lies in a dilemma: while it should be computationally infeasible for adversaries to decrypt the data, the cryptographic operation should be efficient for legitimate users and minimize battery drain. This paper proposes a novel data encryption and storage scheme to address this challenge. Treating the data as a binary bit stream, the Self-Encryption (SE) scheme generates a keystream by randomly extracting bits from the stream. The length of the keystream depends on the user's security requirements.

Private bits - the battle to safeguard data through encryption

The encryption algorithm uses a key, which is a binary number that is typically from 40 to 128 bits in length. The greater the number of bits in the key, the longer it will take to break the code. The data is encrypted by combining the bits in the...

Harnessing the Power of Location Intelligence in the Public Sector

Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where taxreceipts are naturally suppressed, provides very seriousfunding challenges. Moreover, in good times and bad, increasing regulation at the regional and national level is imposing additional duties and responsibilities on the public services without additional resources to carry them out. Store closures are changing the urban landscape. Demographic and/or economic change isincreasing demand for health and social services.Demand for decreased crime rates is focusing minds in law enforcement. And the threat of internationalterrorism is forcing greater contingency duties on the emergency services. The net result is a need to do more with lessÂ—quite a challenge.

IBM XIVÂ® Storage System: Power Consumption Reinvented

Reducing power consumption is one of the most significant challenges of IT centers today. With storage needs on a steep rise, it is increasingly clear that new approaches must be explored. This IBM whitepaper shows how, on average, a traditional storage system using mirroring effectively uses less than 21% of its raw capacity, and an XIV system uses approximately 46% of its raw capacity.

3 Strategies for Reducing IT Support Costs

As companies brace for more bumps in the economic downturn, many organisations are indiscriminately cutting costs. To ensure a seamless transition into the post-recession market, however, slashing and burning is not recommended. Now is the time to strategically trim and strengthen for success. This IDC White Paper explores 3 tangible areas that IT departments should investigate to help strategise cost reduction during the downturn. Download the White Paper to learn: -- Why IT utilisation, end-user support and maintenance budgets are the most strategic areas to investigate -- How to effectively approach cost-saving measures within these areas while maintaining IT performance -- Tools and services the IDC recommends for achieving maximum cost savings and efficiency
