Customer-based brand equity building

2016

Trusted Computing and DRM

2015

Trusted Computing is a special branch of computer security. One branch of computer security involves protection of systems against external attacks. In that branch we include all methods that are used by system owners against external attackers, for example Firewalls, IDS, IPS etc. In all those cases the system owner installs software that uses its own means to determine if a remote user is malicious and terminates the attack. (Such means can be very simple such as detecting signatures of attacks or very complex such as machine learning and detecting anomalies in the usage pattern of the remote user). Another branch of attacks requires protection by the system owner against internal users. …

Autonomy, Heterogeneity and Trust in Mobile P2P environments

2007

Mobile P2P environments are emerging as a result of rapid expansion of portable terminals that are able to establish direct wireless communication links among themselves. These kinds of terminals are under the control of persons and allowing interactions between their terminals is subject to trust between the individuals and their desire to preserve various aspects of autonomy against each other. In this paper we relate the concepts of node autonomy, heterogeneity and trust with each other, defining also numeric measures for them. We also investigate what kind of interactions (such as transactions, file exchanges) are possible at certain heterogeneity, autonomy and trust level between the t…
