Book Synopsis Paradigms for Virtualization Based Host Security by : Tal Simeon Garfinkel
Download or read book Paradigms for Virtualization Based Host Security written by Tal Simeon Garfinkel and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2010 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtualization has been one of the most potent forces reshaping the landscape of systems software in the last 10 years and has become ubiquitous in the realm of enterprise compute infrastructure and in the emerging field of cloud computing. This presents a variety of new opportunities when designing host based security architectures. We present several paradigms for enhancing host security leveraging the new capabilities afforded by virtualization. First, we present a virtualization based approach to trusted computing. This allows multiple virtual hosts with different assurance levels to run concurrently on the same platform using a novel "open box" and "closed box" model that allows the virtualized platform to present the best properties of traditional open and closed platforms on a single physical platform. Next, we present virtual machine introspection, an approach to enhancing the attack resistance intrusion detection and prevention systems by moving them "out of the box" i.e. out of the virtual host they are monitoring and into a seperate protection domain where they can inspect the host they are monitoring from a more protected vantage point. Finally, we present overshadow data protection, an approach for providing a last line of defense for application data even if the guest OS running an application has been compromised. We accomplish this by presenting two views of virtual memory, an encrypted view to the operating system and a plain text view to the application the owning that memory. This approach more generally illustrates the mechanisms necessary to introduce new orthogonal protection mechanisms into a Guest Operating system from the virtualization layer while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing operating systems and applications.
Download or read book The Coalition written by Bob Avis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-11-29 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuebor was the most advanced civilization in our sector of the galaxy and they willingly shared their technology with most of the civilizations they encountered during their space explorations. This led to the formation of the Hocage Alliance. The Vate decided that the Tuebor led Alliance would be an easy acquisition and started a war. However, they underestimated the resistance of the other members of the Alliance and found themselves in a vicious stalemate. The Balekian Empire engaged the Vate during their conquest of all civilizations they encountered. The Vate realized that they could not defeat the Empire, therefore, asked the Alliance to join them in an effort to defeat a enemy who eventually would consume the Alliance. After thousands of years of war, a truce was finally signed which eventually led to the formation of THE COALITION. Tueborian influence within THE COALITION began to erode and they sought help from the remnants of the genetically related colony established on Earth 66 million years ago. This led to the 12.3 light-year separation of a teenage girl and her parents. Jackie and Bob Cavish were supposedly killed in a car crash. After the initial shock of her parents deaths, Denise Cavish questions police about several incidents surrounding the accident that doesnt make sense including the unauthorized cremation of the bodies. The disappearance of Denises best friend Kim Longley seems to be unrelated to the Cavishs apparent deaths. Acting on her own, Denise follows a lead that takes her to a remote fishing cabin in Montana where she almost kills the man responsible for reuniting the family. Once together the family helps the Tueborians and THE COALITION in dealing with the Genigans and Ammonoids in Book I; the Imini, Esortians, and Reptilians in Book II; and the United Reptilian Systems, the Plasma People and the Cosmic Creature in Book III. The Genigans and especially the Reptilians tend to settle any disputes with war. The Imini are always in constant flight for survival but will fight to eat. The Esortians chase the Imini throughout the galaxy and multi- dimensions while attacking anyone who helps their foe. The Ammonoids are reluctant to share and prefer to control situations through the non-confrontational use of their technology. The Plasma People and the Cosmic Creature arewell far out. Book III concludes with the Day Of Truth and the final chance for Earth to join THE COALITION. The story gives an awesome sense of appreciation for each species own very special but trivial place in this magnificent mysterious multidimensional ever-evolving universe. They learned to face issues far greater than their own personal needs. As a group they gradually learned that they must bind together for mutual protection and prosperity. THE COALITION provides adventure, mystery, humor and a touch of love all developed by the gradual blending of characters and species. It also provides some thoughts concerning the following questions: Did you ever wonder why the Chicxulub impact was so amazingly effective in wiping out all dinosaurs on Earth? Why Earth has humanoids of various colors? Which, if any, humanoids are indigenous to Earth? Why media exposure to science fiction has dramatically increased during the past 25 years?

Book Synopsis Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Multistatic Imaging by : Habib Ammari
Download or read book Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Multistatic Imaging written by Habib Ammari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers recent mathematical, numerical, and statistical approaches for multistatic imaging of targets with waves at single or multiple frequencies. The waves can be acoustic, elastic or electromagnetic. They are generated by point sources on a transmitter array and measured on a receiver array. An important problem in multistatic imaging is to quantify and understand the trade-offs between data size, computational complexity, signal-to-noise ratio, and resolution. Another fundamental problem is to have a shape representation well suited to solving target imaging problems from multistatic data. In this book the trade-off between resolution and stability when the data are noisy is addressed. Efficient imaging algorithms are provided and their resolution and stability with respect to noise in the measurements analyzed. It also shows that high-order polarization tensors provide an accurate representation of the target. Moreover, a dictionary-matching technique based on new invariants for the generalized polarization tensors is introduced. Matlab codes for the main algorithms described in this book are provided. Numerical illustrations using these codes in order to highlight the performance and show the limitations of numerical approaches for multistatic imaging are presented.

Book Synopsis Song of the Depths by : Bonnie L. Price
Download or read book Song of the Depths written by Bonnie L. Price and published by Bonnie L. Price. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the Creshe Empire, I’m just a number. I’ve spent the past five years in isolation and under study. With my home razed by a Syldrari attack, my mind damaged, and nothing but white walls and a viewing window around me, I dedicated myself to two things: training my body, and reading any book they allowed me to have. The Empire wants me to serve, to use the inhuman power the Incident stirred within me. Technically, they asked, but it wasn’t much of a choice. It never is. Serve, or… I refused to be a mindless slave. My life was taken from me once. Never again. With the Empire moving forward with their xenophobic plans, they needed someone capable of killing Syldrari—and I was just that. A tool they could use, a tool they thought they could manipulate. Needing me was their first mistake. They gave me leverage; I named my terms. Now, after five years, my life can begin. Song of the Depths is a slow burn #whychoose romantic science fantasy series with reverse harem elements. It contains strong language, violence, difficult situations, and will contain love scenes (including LGBTQ+ pairings).

Book Synopsis Transformation Electromagnetics and Metamaterials by : Douglas H. Werner
Download or read book Transformation Electromagnetics and Metamaterials written by Douglas H. Werner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformation electromagnetics is a systematic design technique for optical and electromagnetic devices that enables novel wave-material interaction properties. The associated metamaterials technology for designing and realizing optical and electromagnetic devices can control the behavior of light and electromagnetic waves in ways that have not been conventionally possible. The technique is credited with numerous novel device designs, most notably the invisibility cloaks, perfect lenses and a host of other remarkable devices. Transformation Electromagnetics and Metamaterials: Fundamental Principles and Applications presents a comprehensive treatment of the rapidly growing area of transformation electromagnetics and related metamaterial technology with contributions on the subject provided by a collection of leading experts from around the world. On the theoretical side, the following questions will be addressed: “Where does transformation electromagnetics come from?,” “What are the general material properties for different classes of coordinate transformations?,” “What are the limitations and challenges of device realizations?,” and “What theoretical tools are available to make the coordinate transformation-based designs more amenable to fabrication using currently available techniques?” The comprehensive theoretical treatment will be complemented by device designs and/or realizations in various frequency regimes and applications including acoustic, radio frequency, terahertz, infrared, and the visible spectrum. The applications encompass invisibility cloaks, gradient-index lenses in the microwave and optical regimes, negative-index superlenses for sub-wavelength resolution focusing, flat lenses that produce highly collimated beams from an embedded antenna or optical source, beam concentrators, polarization rotators and splitters, perfect electromagnetic absorbers, and many others. This book will serve as the authoritative reference for students and researchers alike to the fast-evolving and exciting research area of transformation electromagnetics/optics, its application to the design of revolutionary new devices, and their associated metamaterial realizations.
Book Synopsis Acoustic Metamaterials by : Richard V. Craster
Download or read book Acoustic Metamaterials written by Richard V. Craster and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book: This book is the first comprehensive review on acoustic metamaterials; novel materials which can manipulate sound waves in surprising ways, which include collimation, focusing, cloaking, sonic screening and extraordinary transmission. It covers both experimental and theoretical aspects of acoustic and elastic waves propagating in structured composites, with a focus on effective properties associated with negative refraction, lensing and cloaking. Most related books in the field address electromagnetic metamaterials and focus on numerical methods, and little (or no) experimental section. Each chapter will be authored by an acknowledged expert, amongst the topics covered will be experimental results on non-destructive imaging, cloaking by surface water waves, flexural waves in thin plates. Applications in medical ultrasound imaging and modeling of metamaterials will be emphasized too. The book can serve as a reference for researchers who wish to build a solid foundation of wave propagation in this class of novel materials.
Book Synopsis The Uncloaked by : Jennifer Rodewald
Download or read book The Uncloaked written by Jennifer Rodewald and published by Rooted Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one stirred in the area-people stayed in their little hovels. Hiding, most likely. From the cold, the helplessness. Maybe from the Party. Staying out of sight, like cockroaches. I am not a cockroach. *** "Apathy is the illness of the overprivileged..." Words laced with fear-and maybe a hint of prophecy. His father's words. Words Braxton would prefer to ignore. Braxton Luther is sixteen when the Progressive Reform Party takes over the government. It can't be that bad. So they don't want religion in government-that's constitutional. He can't understand his church's hypersensitive reaction or his father's cryptic warning to stand against the Party's ultimatums. But after living under the new government for a year, Braxton faces a choice-conform to the demands of the ungodded in order to protect his best friend, Eliza, or defy the system and go into hiding, ensuring a life of misery. Still certain that life will settle back into normalcy in the near future, Braxton chooses compliance. Then the killings begin, and the threat to Eliza becomes darker than Braxton had ever imagined. Reality finally sinks in. Apathy is no longer a choice.
