1 Work was completed while the author was at NAI Labs. Abstract The DARPA Information Assurance Program has the aim of developing and executing experiments that test specific hypotheses about defense in depth and dynamic defense capabilities. This paper describes the development and execution of an experiment in layering. The basic hypothesis was that layers of defense, when added in a careful ...

In this paper, we propose the necessary steps in implementing strong WLAN security for companies using our visual security assessment framework for wireless information assurance. Through real case studies on the organisations with various security measures and by showing complete execution paths of our framework, we suggest the importance of continual assessment of the WLAN for strong corporat...

The market of automated translation quality assurance tools offers quite a limited set of applications with the same well-known functionality as they offered a few years ago. The purpose of this paper is to review the automated translation quality assurance process, to describe several improvements we implemented in Verifika® and to provide measurement of their efficiency. In this paper we will...

Recent information systems have become large and complex by interacting with each other via networks. This makes assuring dependability of systems much more difficult than ever before. For this problem, we observe that requirement elicitation and risk analysis methods should be tightly connected with assurance methods. Furthermore, requirements should be ensured also in operation in such open e...

Privacy concerns can greatly hinder consumers’ intentions to interact with a website. The success of a website therefore depends on its ability to improve consumers’ perceptions of privacy assurance. Seals and assurance statements are mechanisms often used to increase this assurance; however, the findings of the extant literature regarding the effectiveness of these tools are mixed. We propose ...

Introduction: The determination of accurate dose distribution is an issue of fundamental importance in radiotherapy, especially with regard to the fact that the human body is a heterogeneous medium. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the density and isodose depth profiles of 6 MV beam in a SP34 slab-wooden dust (pine)-SP34 slab (SWS) heterogeneous phantom.  Materials and Methods: Th...

Big data has the features like Volume, Variety, Value and Velocity. Here come the new opportunities and challenges for construction of Chinese quality assurance system of higher vocational education under big data era. There are problems in current quality assurance system of higher vocational education, such as imperfect main body, non-formation of internally and externally incorporated qualit...

Numerous formal approaches to software assurance are available, including: runtime monitoring, model checking, and theorem proving. All of these approaches require formal specifications of behavioral properties to verify a software system. Creation of formal specifications is difficult, and previously, there has been inadequate tool support for this task. The Property Specification tool, Prospe...
