Proximity Beacons and Mobile Device Authentication: an Overview and Implementation
The use of mobile handheld devices within the workplace is expanding rapidly. These devices are no longer viewed as coveted gadgets for early technology adopters, but have instead become indispensable tools that offer competitive business advantages for
NIST's Security Configuration Checklists Program for Technology Products
This bulletin describes the NIST security configuration checklists program and is based on NIST Special Publication 800-70: Security Configuration Checklists Program for IT Products, by Murugiah Souppaya, John Wack and Karen Kent. The bulletin discusses

A current-density scale for characterizing nonlinearity in high-Tc superconductors
In this paper, we characterize microwave nonlinearity in a high temperature superconducting (HTS) thin film sample by measurement of a geometry-independent current-density scale j o. This quanity j specifies the strenth of a material-dependent nonlinearity
Voice over IP - the transmission of voice over traditional packet-switched IP networks - is one of the hottest trends in telecommunications. As with any new technology, VOIP introduces both opportunities and problems. Lower cost and greater flexibility are
Sensor Location Through Linear Programming With Triangle Inequality Constraints
Interest in dense sensor networks due to falling price and reduced size has motivated research in sensor location in recent years. While many algorithms can be found in literature, no benchmark exists and most papers fail to compare their results to other
Security Configuration Checklists Program for IT Products: Guidance For Checklists Users and Developers
[Superseded by SP 800-70 Rev. 1 (September 2009): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=901337 ] The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has produced Security Configuration Checklists Program for IT Products
Second Primages on n-bit Hash Functions for Much Less than 2n Work
We expand a previous result of Dean[Dea99] to provide a second preimage attack on all n-bit iterated hash functions with Damgard-Merkle strengthening and n-bit intermediate states, allowing a second preimage to be found for a 2k-message-block message with
Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems: Guidance for Selecting Cost-Effective Controls Using a Risk-Based Approach
