When Passwords Aren't Enough: The Need for Strong Online Authentication That is Easy to... - 2 views

    Describe the IT terms. april 28 kuni
  •  
    Authentication- Authentication is the process of determining whether someone or something is, in fact, who or what it is declared to be. In private and public computer networks (including the Internet), authentication is commonly done through the use of logon passwords. Knowledge of the password is assumed to guarantee that the user is authentic. Each user registers initially (or is registered by someone else), using an assigned or self-declared password. Tokens- A Hardware Token is an Authenticator in the form of a physical object, where the user's interaction with a login system proves that the user physically possesses the object. Hardware Tokens authenticate users on the basis that only the Token assigned to the user could have generated the pseudo-random number or code response keyed in by the user. Successful entry of this code implies that the user is in physical possession of the Token. This implies that the user does not allow users to use his Token, and has not lost it. It is use to prove one's identity electronically, and it is small enough to put it in the pocket or attach to keychain. Smart Card-A card with an embedded computer chip on which information can be stored and processed. It is a plastic card about the size of a credit card, with an embedded microchip that can be loaded with data, used for telephone calling, electronic cash payments, and other applications, and then periodically refreshed for additional use. Biometric- Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data. In information technology, biometrics refers to technologies that measure and analyze human body characteristics, such as fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns, facial patterns and hand measurements, for authentication purposes.

    Most smart appliances have an accompanying application. Those applications are available on iOS and android. (Samsung's washer and dryer application is working on only iOS and Samsung's Galaxy mobile devices, not the rest of the Android devices.) There are some examples of using iOS to control the smart appliances 1. LG Smart ThinQ LFX31995ST LG Smart ThinQ app will tell you the internal temperatures of both the refrigerator and freezer, and whether it's on energy-saving mode or not. You can make grocery lists and automatically update your inventory once you've checked an item off the list. Also, you can search for recipes on the fridge based on what your fridge has in stock. 2. Whirlpool WRL767SIAM Side-by-Side Refrigerator with 6th Sense Live it transmits information directly to the free app on your smart device. Whirlpool's app can let you know, if the refrigerator door is open or if there has been a power outage. Whirlpool has also enabled this refrigerator to connect to the smart grid if it's available in your area, which will let you monitor energy usage through its app. 3. GE Profile PT9550SFSS Built-In Double Convection Wall Oven The game-change app turns your phone into a remote control for the oven. You can set the temperature, mode, and time for both ovens independently and turn them on with app. 4. LG Smart ThinQ LRE3027ST oven Smart ThinQ app will allow you to search for recipes and then cue up the cook time and temperature accordingly, but you still have to manually press start on the oven itself. LG app allows you to run diagnostics on the range to make sure that everything is running as it should be. 5. LG Smart ThinQ WT6001HV Washer/Smart ThinQ DLEX6001V Electric Dryer LG's Smart ThinQ washing machine features a gorgeous touch screen and connects to LG's Smart ThinQ app via your smartphone or tablet. It doesn't have a smart-grid function like some other washer/dryer apps, but it's otherwise similar in that it lets you check your wash cycle

    1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. The area of impact the scenario relates to is 'business and employment'. 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. The main stakeholders to the IT system from this article are the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) and customers. 3. Identify and describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. The social/ethical concern that has been identified in this article is 'security'. Security refers to the protection of hardware, software from unauthorized access. Security tries to prevent the access by hackers. In this article, the RBA has been hacked (cyber attacked). For an example, the malware has embedded in the emails. They think it is China to blame because they thought that China has already been through a similar cyber attack, which aimed to get the information out of it. The staffs in the RBA have opened several malware emails. This malware application has managed to go through the computer system. 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. * Malware: Malware refers to software programs that are designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on a computer system. * Cyber Attack: Cyber attackers use malicious code to alter computer code,logic or data, resulting in disruptive consequences that can compromise data and lead to cyber-crimes (information and identity theft). * Computer Viruses: Small but insidious piece of programming-code that attacks computer and network systems through infected data files, introduced into a system via disks or Internet. 5. Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. Even though the RBA did not lose any of their information, it's better to have a safe security system/software to protect their information. The RBA needs to be more careful when opening email files, and for a better protection, they would need to find a better way to secure. I would suggest them to have an encryp

    AI Rock Summary Answer here :)
  •  
    Korean children, already fast becoming a robot-friendly lot, have a new companion in Kibot, a monkey-faced bot that can read fairy tales, sing songs, take pictures, and make video calls via a display embedded in its tummy. It is like a robot that will keep children accompany, Kibot, which runs on a rechargeable battery and is manufactured by iRiver, has plenty of other tricks up its sensor-enabled sleeves, too. It responds to gestures, like pats, by turning and pleasantly saying, "It feels good." When it encounters an obstacle, it can change direction to avoid it. It can take pictures and record and play back customized voices. It even serves as a language tutor for Korean and English. About the only things it doesn't do, seemingly, are scratch its head and swing from branch to branch.
