Key Management with Trusted Platform Modules The concept of Trusted Computing, which aims at making computing platforms more reliable, is based on a chip called Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The TPM is a chip which provides cryptographic functionality like RSA encryption and secure key storage. The aim of the Master’s project was to analyse and implement TPM based pre-boot authentication for t...

A major challenge in computer security is about establishing the trustworthiness of remote platforms. Remote attestation is the most common approach to this challenge. It allows a remote platform to measure and report its system state in a secure way to a third party. Unfortunately, existing attestation solutions either provide low security, as they rely on unrealistic assumptions, or are not a...

The set of virtual devices offered by a hypervisor to its guest VMs is a virtualization component ripe with security exploits – more than half of all vulnerabilities of today’s hypervisors are found in this codebase. This paper presents Min-V, a hypervisor that disables all virtual devices not critical to running VMs in the cloud. Of the remaining devices, Min-V takes a step further and elimina...

Foot fractures are among the most common foot injuries evaluated by primary care physicians. They most often involve the metatarsals and toes. Patients typically present with varying signs and symptoms, the most common being pain and trouble with ambulation. Diagnosis requires radiographic evaluation, although emerging evidence demonstrates that ultrasonography may be just as accurate. Manageme...

The aim of this study is to report the control of lymphorrhea in the intensive treatment of elephantiasis, using an Unna boot. The case of a 29-year-old female patient is reported. This young patient evolved with the more serious form of lymphedema, elephantiasis, after surgical treatment of an abdominal neoplasm and radiotherapy. Warty excrescences were present on both legs and genitalia where...

Financing demands for the increasing number of large-scale build–own–operate–transfer (BOOT) hydropower projects in Nepal have necessitated greater mobilization foreign investment. International investors and lenders perceive significant exchange (FoREX) risk when investing such projects. In various developing countries, FoREX risk-allocation mechanisms offered by public sector allocate risks t...

DRAM is an important memory of a computer. Microprocessor loads the data requested by the user into DRAM before processing the data. Hence, DRAM contains important information in a computer. Recently, researchers discovered that DRAM is vulnerable to attack that is called Cold boot attack. DRAM contents can be recovered even after the computer has been powered off for several minutes. The infor...
