Designing to FIPS-140: A Guide for Engineers and Programmers
by David Johnston Richard FantThis book provides detailed and practical information for practitioners to understand why they should choose certification. It covers the pros and cons, and shows how to design to comply with the specifications (FIPS-140, SP800 documents, and related international specs such as AIS31, GM/T-0005-2021, etc.). It also covers how to perform compliance testing. By the end of the book, you will know how to interact with accredited certification labs and with related industry forums (CMUF, ICMC). In short, the book covers everything you need to know to make sound designs.There is a process for FIPS-140 (Federal Information Processing Standard) certification for cryptographic products sold to the US government. And there are parallel certifications in other countries, resulting in a non-trivial and complex process. A large market of companies has grown to help companies navigate the FIPS-140 certification process. And there are accredited certification labs you must contract toget the certification.Although this was once a fairly niche topic, it is no longer so. Other industries—banking, military, healthcare, air travel, and more—have adopted FIPS certification for cryptographic products. The demand for these services has grown exponentially. Still, the available skills pool has not grown. Many people are working on products with zero usable information on what to do to meet these standards and achieve certification or even understand if such certification applies to their products. What You Will Learn What is FIPS-140? What is the SP800 standard?What is certification? What does it look like? What is it suitable for?What is NIST? What does it do?What do accredited certification labs do?What do certification consultants do?Where and when is certification required?What do FIPS-140 modules look like?What are the sub-components of FIPS-140 modules (RNGs, PUFs, crypto functions)? How does certification work for them?What are the physical primitives (RNGs, PUFs, key stores) and how do you handle the additional complexity of certifying them under FIPS?What are the compliance algorithms (AES, SP800-90 algos, SHA, ECDSA, key agreement, etc.)?How do you design for certification (BIST, startup tests, secure boundaries, test access, zeroization, etc.)?How do you get CAVP certificates (cert houses, ACVTs)?How do you get CMVP certifications (cert houses, required documents, design information, security policy, etc.)? Who This Book Is For Hardware and software engineers or managers of engineering programs that include any form of cryptographic functionality, including silicon vendors, library vendors, OS vendors, and system integrators
Designing with CSS Grid Layout
by Nitish Kumar Ahmad Ajmi Adrian RoworthLayout in CSS has always been a tricky task: hacking solutions using positioning, floats, and the one-dimensional flexbox has never been very satisfactory. Fortunately, there is a new tool to add to our arsenal: CSS Grid Layout. It is an incredibly powerful layout system that allows us to design pages using a two-dimensional grid - offering the kind of fine-grained layout control that print designers take for granted! Grid Layout has been in development for a while, but has recently been made a W3C candidate recommendation and has been added to most of the major browsers, so is ready for prime time. This short selection of tutorials, hand-picked from SitePoint's HTML & CSS channel, will get you up and running with Grid Layout and using it on your own sites in no time. This collection includes: An Introduction to the CSS Grid Layout Module by Ahmad AjmiSeven Ways You Can Place Elements Using CSS Grid Layout by Nitish KumarHow to Order and Align Items in Grid Layout by Nitish KumarA Step by Step Guide to the Auto- Placement Algorithm in CSS Grid by Nitish KumarHow I Built a Pure CSS Crossword Puzzle by Adrian Roworth This book is suitable for front end developers and web designers with some CSS experience.

Designing with the Body: Somaesthetic Interaction Design (Design Thinking, Design Theory)
by Kristina HookInteraction design that entails a qualitative shift from a symbolic, language-oriented stance to an experiential stance that encompasses the entire design and use cycle. With the rise of ubiquitous technology, data-driven design, and the Internet of Things, our interactions and interfaces with technology are about to change dramatically, incorporating such emerging technologies as shape-changing interfaces, wearables, and movement-tracking apps. A successful interactive tool will allow the user to engage in a smooth, embodied, interaction, creating an intimate correspondence between users' actions and system response. And yet, as Kristina Höök points out, current design methods emphasize symbolic, language-oriented, and predominantly visual interactions. In Designing with the Body, Höök proposes a qualitative shift in interaction design to an experiential, felt, aesthetic stance that encompasses the entire design and use cycle. Höök calls this new approach soma design; it is a process that reincorporates body and movement into a design regime that has long privileged language and logic. Soma design offers an alternative to the aggressive, rapid design processes that dominate commercial interaction design; it allows (and requires) a slow, thoughtful process that takes into account fundamental human values. She argues that this new approach will yield better products and create healthier, more sustainable companies. Höök outlines the theory underlying soma design and describes motivations, methods, and tools. She offers examples of soma design “encounters” and an account of her own design process. She concludes with “A Soma Design Manifesto,” which challenges interaction designers to “restart” their field—to focus on bodies and perception rather than reasoning and intellect.

by Uwe WolffFake News ist für die allermeisten ein Begriff, den sie mit Politik und politischen Kampagnen in Verbindung bringen. Die verheerenden Auswirkungen sind bekannt (Brexit, Trump, AfD) Doch erst jetzt realisieren Unternehmen und Unternehmenslenker, dass auch sie Zielscheibe von Fake News werden können. Die ersten Unternehmen in Deutschland haben diese Desinformationsattacken bereits zu spüren bekommen. Die Folge: Wertverfall des Unternehmens, Aktienabstürze, Reputationsschaden sowie verunsicherte Mitarbeiter, Geschäftspartner und Banken. Die Ziele und Motive der Kommunikationsattacken sind vielfältig: Sie reichen von verärgerten Ex-Mitarbeitern, aggressiven Mitbewerbern bis hin zu Hedge-Fonds, die ein Unternehmen übernahmereif schießen wollen oder auf fallende Aktienwerte wetten. Den modernen Kommunikationsattacken steht ein wirkungsvolles und breit gefächertes Waffenarsenal im Bereich Internet und Social Media zur Verfügung, mit denen sich Fake News in Minutenschnelle Wirksam verbreiten lassen, sodass Unternehmen kaum mehr die Zeit haben, sich dagegen wirkungsvoll zu wehren. Dieses Buch richtet den Blick auf die neue Situation, in der sich die Unternehmen empfinden, und beschreibt die die empfindlichen Stellen. Es erläutert Kommunikationsattacken anhand von Beispielen und liefert zudem eine Handreichung für Unternehmen in Sachen Prävention und Detektion, aber auch im Abwehrkampf gegen gezielte unternehmensschädigende Informationsattacken.

Deskriptives Data-Mining
by David L. Olson Georg LauhoffDieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über Data-Mining-Methoden, die durch Software veranschaulicht werden. Beim Wissensmanagement geht es um die Anwendung von menschlichem Wissen (Erkenntnistheorie) mit den technologischen Fortschritten unserer heutigen Gesellschaft (Computersysteme) und Big Data, sowohl bei der Datenerfassung als auch bei der Datenanalyse. Es gibt drei Arten von Analyseinstrumenten. Die deskriptive Analyse konzentriert sich auf Berichte über das, was passiert ist. Bei der prädiktiven Analyse werden statistische und/oder künstliche Intelligenz eingesetzt, um Vorhersagen treffen zu können. Dazu gehört auch die Modellierung von Klassifizierungen. Die diagnostische Analytik kann die Analyse von Sensoreingaben anwenden, um Kontrollsysteme automatisch zu steuern. Die präskriptive Analytik wendet quantitative Modelle an, um Systeme zu optimieren oder zumindest verbesserte Systeme zu identifizieren. Data Mining umfasst deskriptive und prädiktive Modellierung. Operations Research umfasst alle drei Bereiche. Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die deskriptive Analytik.Das Buch versucht, einfache Erklärungen und Demonstrationen einiger deskriptiver Werkzeuge zu liefern. Es bietet Beispiele für die Auswirkungen von Big Data und erweitert die Abdeckung von Assoziationsregeln und Clusteranalysen. Kapitel 1 gibt einen Überblick im Kontext des Wissensmanagements. Kapitel 2 erörtert einige grundlegende Softwareunterstützung für die Datenvisualisierung. Kapitel 3 befasst sich mit den Grundlagen der Warenkorbanalyse, und Kapitel 4 demonstriert die RFM-Modellierung, ein grundlegendes Marketing-Data-Mining-Tool. Kapitel 5 demonstriert das Assoziationsregel-Mining. Kapitel 6 befasst sich eingehender mit der Clusteranalyse. Kapitel 7 befasst sich mit der Link-Analyse. Die Modelle werden anhand geschäftsbezogener Daten demonstriert. Der Stil des Buches ist beschreibend und versucht zu erklären, wie die Methoden funktionieren, mit einigen Zitaten, aber ohne tiefgehende wissenschaftliche Referenzen. Die Datensätze und die Software wurden so ausgewählt, dass sie für jeden Leser, der über einen Computeranschluss verfügt, weithin verfügbar und zugänglich sind.

Después del trabajo: El empleo argentino en la cuarta Revolución Industrial
by Eduardo Levy Yeyati¿Hay vida después del trabajo? Con optimismo o desesperanza, con retórica académica o de charla de café, hace tiempo sabemos, escuchamos o intuimos que el trabajo, como lo conocemos, seguirá siendo desplazado por la tecnología. ¿Preocupación "de países desarrollados"? Cada vez tenemos más evidencia para afirmar que no: la pregunta por el futuro del empleo en la Argentina no solo es relevante, también es urgente. Y tal vez no se trate de si seremos reemplazados por robots y cuándo, sino de discutir las consecuencias de una sustitución inevitable sobre nuestro bienestar y nuestra cultura. ¿Somos capaces de convertir progreso tecnológico en herramienta liberadora? Este libro apuesta a esa posibilidad y brinda los insumos para pensarla y formularla en términos de política pública. Basado en una investigación sin precedentes, traza un mapa del trabajo en la Argentina de hoy, presenta sus perspectivas a futuro y, sobre todo, invita a entender las consecuencias de un cambio de dimensiones históricas que golpea cada vez más cerca de casa.
