Full textPeople who are referred to as data owners in this study, use the Internet for various purposes and one of those is using online services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and so on. These online services are offered by organizations which are referred to as data controllers. When data owners use these service provided by data controllers they usually have to agree to the terms and conditions which gives data controllers indemnity against any privacy issues that may be raised by the data owner. Data controllers are then free to share that data with any other organizations, referred to as third parties. Though data controllers are protected from lawsuits it does not necessarily mean they are free of any act that may be considered a privacy violation by the data owner. This thesis aims to arrive at a design proposition using the design science research paradigm for a middleware extension, specifically focused on the Tomcat server which is a servlet engine running on the JVM. The design proposition proposes a client side annotation based API to be used by developers to specify classes which will carry data outside the scope of the data controller's system to a third party system, the specified classes will then have code weaved in that will communicate with a Privacy Engine component that will determine based on data owner's preferences if their data should be shared or not. The output of this study is a privacy enhancing platform that comprises of three components the client side annotation based API used by developers, an extension to Tomcat and finally a Privacy Engine.

Full textThe micro financial sector is a strategic element in the economy of developing countries since it facilitates the integration and development of all social classes and let the economic growth. In this point is the growth of data is high every day in sector like the micro financial, resulting from transactions and operations carried out with these companies on a daily basis. Appropriate management of the personal data privacy policies is therefore necessary because, otherwise, it will comply with personal data protection laws and regulations and let take quality information for decision-making and process improvement. The present study proposes a personal data protection maturity model based on international standards of privacy and information security, which also reveals personal data protection capabilities in organizations. Finally, the study proposes a diagnostic and tracing assessment tool that was carried out for five companies in the micro financial sector and the obtained results were analyzed to validate the model and to help in success of data protection initiatives.

Full textE-books have a wide range of application spheres from rich-media presentations to web site archiving, from writing to financial statement. They make publishing, storing and distributing of information quite simple. As a new publication technique, the main concern with e-books is the copyright infringement. To prevent e-books from free duplication and distribution, different security mechanisms are used in their publishing and distributing processes. By investigating and analyzing Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Electronic Book Exchange (EBX), this thesis presents some security issues that the e-book industry are or should be aware. Various security problems and possible solutions are highlighted by means of two case studies.

Introduction -- Background -- Overview of watermarking -- Natural language watermarking -- Software watermarking -- Semi-blind and reversible database watermarking -- Blind and reversible database watermarking -- Conclusion and future research -- Bibliography.
Digital watermarking has generated significant research and commercial interest in the past decade. The primary factors contributing to this surge are widespread use of the Internet with improved bandwidth and speed, regional copyright loopholes in terms of legislation; and seamless distribution of multimedia content due to peer-to-peer file-sharing applications. -- Digital watermarking addresses the issue of establishing ownership over mul-timedia content through embedding a watermark inside the object. Ideally, this watermark should be detectable and/or extractable, survive attacks such as digital reproduction and content-specific manipulations such as re-sizing in the case of images, and be invisible to the end-user so that the quality of the content is not degraded significantly. During detection or extraction, the only requirements should be the secret key and the watermarked multimedia object, and not the original un-marked object or the watermark inserted. Watermarking scheme that facilitate this requirement are categorized as blind. In recent times, reversibility of watermark has also become an important criterion. This is due to the fact that reversible watermarking schemes can provided security against secondary watermarking attacks by using backtracking algorithms to identify the rightful owner. A watermarking scheme is said to be reversible if the original unmarked object can be regenerated from the watermarked copy and the secret key.
This research covers three multimedia content types: natural language documents, software, and databases; and discusses the current watermarking scenario, challenges, and our contribution to the field. We have designed and implemented a natural language watermarking scheme that uses the redundancies in natural languages. As a result, it is robust against general attacks against text watermarks. It offers additional strength to the scheme by localizing the attack to the modified section and using error correction codes to detect the watermark. Our first contribution in software watermarking is identification and exploitation of weaknesses in branch-based software watermarking scheme proposed in [71] and the software watermarking algorithm we present is an improvised version of the existing watermarking schemes from [71]. Our scheme survives automated debugging attacks against which the current schemes are vulnerable, and is also secure against other software-specific attacks. We have proposed two database watermarking schemes that are both reversible and therefore resilient against secondary watermarking attacks. The first of these database watermarking schemes is semi-blind and requires the bits modified during the insertion algorithm to detect the watermark. The second scheme is an upgraded version that is blind and therefore does not require anything except a secret key and the watermarked relation. The watermark has a 89% probability of survival even when almost half of the data is manipulated. The watermarked data in this case is extremely useful from the users' perspective, since query results are preserved (i.e., the watermarked data gives the same results for a query as the nmarked data). -- The watermarking models we have proposed provide greater security against sophisticated attacks in different domains while providing sufficient watermark-carrying capacity at the same time. The false-positives are extremely low in all the models, thereby making accidental detection of watermark in a random object almost negligible. Reversibility has been facilitated in the later watermarking algorithms and is a solution to the secondary watermarking attacks. We shall address reversibility as a key issue in our future research, along with robustness, low false-positives and high capacity.
