Identification and Access Management (Entitlement Management)

 
   

Henrik Johansson, Director Business Unit, Cybercom Sweden East AB
     

Time: 30-40 min

Abstract:
Entitlement Management is a fairly new term and not always used in a consistent manner. We use it to describe emerging technologies enabling real-time and enterprise-wide enforcement of authorization based on an organization’s overall policies. It offers fine-grained and context-aware access controls that adapt to dynamically changing requirements. Full-blown Entitlement Management handles the entire life-cycle of access policy management creation, enforcement, monitoring, auditing and final archiving of access control policies. Standardized authorization services of this type will be base components in all future IT infrastructures.
These are some typical characteristics:
1)    Standards-based. Rather than embedding authorization in application code, a standardized language is used for access request-response queries. XACML is an obvious choice.
2)    External to applications. Maintenance of access control policies is carried out from a central point. Applications and services are protected by Policy Enforcement Points (PEP) which query the authorization service to determine if access should be granted or denied.
3)    Fine-grained. Fine-grained Access policies consider all aspects of an access request is the subject, the action, the resource being accessed and even the context of the request. High-level and generic policies can be expressed but also very detailed and precise rules matching unique situations.
4)    Context-aware. Environment parameters such as time of day or network location can be considered in access control enforcement but also other types of dynamically changing conditions such as the state of a related application, for instance in a workflow, project or document management system

IT-Forensics
 
   
Bjφrn Lindeberg, Director Business Development
     

Time: 30-40 min
Abstract:
The Nordic Forensic Team (NFT) is a part of the Cybercom Group AB, a Swedish Nasaq-OMX public traded company in the IT-consultancy field with at focus on IT-Security.
NFT operates in two major areas: IT-Forensics and Counter Intelligence Services (CIS). In IT-Forensics we investigate Industrial Espionage, International money laundering, Fraud and more specifically credit card fraud under PCI-DSS where we are the only Nordic/Baltic certified QFI.
In Counter Intelligence Services we operate as a private intelligence organization for major European companies. NFT is one of Europe’s largest IT-Forensic Investigators and the largest PCI-Forensic Investigator in the Nordic/Baltic region, but more importantly we are one of very few companies that have successfully investigated Industrial Espionage cases, Organized Crime and Multinational fraud schemes and provided evidence used in a court of law against criminals now behind bars.
We are a contracted IT-Forensic task force team C.E.R.T. to several world leading banks. We are hired by multiple secret services around the globe and have an exceptional track record of handling tough Industrial Espionage cases spanning borders where international police forces have a hard time acting effectively.
Target groups: Banking, Finance, Retail, Counter Intelligence, IT Security Emergency counter measures

PCI DSS
(Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

 
   
Bjφrn Lindeberg, Director Business Development
     

Time: 30-40 min

Abstract:
PCI DSS - We protect your customers payment card transactions
Many consumers are still hesitant about using their credit cards over the Internet. And often quite rightly, due to the number of crimes involving stolen credit card details is increasing. In view of this, major players such as Visa, MasterCard and more, have agreed on a common standard for handling credit card information. This standard, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), is an international standard that stipulates relatively strict and concrete security requirements. This affects all players handling payment card transactions.

Cybercom helps our customers to identify the card handling environment from a technical and organizational perspective. Our work results in concrete action plans to achieve a secure Card Data Environment quickly and cost-efficiently. Our long-term approach gives our customers a guarantee that PCI DSS compliance is not a one-off occurrence.
Target groups: Banking, Finance, Retail


Connected Ambulance Care- how to get life vital information across Health Care Service points without losing focus
 
   

Henrik Johansson, Director Business Unit, Cybercom Sweden East AB
     

Time: 30-40 min

Abstract:
This session focuses on the benefits of implementing an on-line ambulance information system but also discusses the potential obstacles and ways to avoid them. The session also includes a short demo of the next generation of AmbuLink(R) Mobile from Cybercom. By combining years of experience from the medical area and modern user interface design and technology from the Connected Car concept, Cybercom provides a solution that lets the ambulance personnel focus on their main task at hand - saving lives - without risking to lose vital information!

Cybercom's AmbuLink(R) Mobile is a complete, flexible on-line ambulance information system that uses the Internet and mobile communication solutions to ensure that vital information always reaches the correct location. AmbuLink(R) can be used alongside existing information systems and can be connected to future national systems, such as the National Patient Summary.  This means that patient-specific information about medication, allergies, etc. can be accessed directly. AmbuLink(R) Mobile therefore increases patient safety and makes the work of nursing staff/paramedics that bit easier, regardless of where in the country an incident occurs.

AmbuLink(R) is developed in line with current professional requirements and in consultation with nursing staff and experienced system specialists within the healthcare sector.
Target groups: Health Care





An Internal Meeting of the Committee to arrange the last details took place in the Hotel one day before the opening of the meeting

Several discussion took place during the conferences about hot problems in science and engineering.

JOURNALS:
What is the Permanent Procedure for additional Journal publication for a very small number of High-Quality Papers presented in the WSEAS Conferences (after the recommendation of Chairmen). So, the authors with accepted & presented papers received the following e-mail:


We have started now the procedure for the evaluation of the extended versions of your papers for possible inclusion in the WSEAS journals after new rounds of review.

INTRODUCTION: You know that our goal is to maintain very strong international journals, to increase the impact of our beloved WSEAS Transactions, really top journals as they really are. To this end, we need only high quality papers, breakthrough works of archival value, i.e. papers that are well written from any point of view, completed studies (with their numerical examples or experiments that must be compared with the previous results in the literature), excellent English language and of course correct WSEAS format. The papers also must be substantially extended version of the paper that was presented in the conference (with more than 40% new material). We need papers that will attract the attention of other scholars citing them increasing our impact. In the next few years, the WSEAS transactions must be in every academic library, in every corner of the earth. To this end, we need your high quality contribution.

HOW TO PROCEED:

a) Check very carefully if your idea is really important, breakthrough in your field and can appear in a Journal of the quality and the level of the WSEAS Transactions. If you doubt, do not send it so easily. Your paper must not be only a good idea. It must be a complete study with theoretical background, complete bibliographical references; without grammatical and syntactical errors. For theoretical works: full comparison with previous published papers is necessary. We need numerical examples, applicability of the method, originality, novelty and directions for future research. For experimental or computational works: full comparison with previous published papers is necessary. We need real experiments with the necessary documentation, while for computational work, we need full benchmarks. Of course along discussions for the applicability of the method, originality, novelty and directions for future research.
 
b) Complete the extended version of your paper  http://...............  (the full web address was given only to authors who presented a paper)

c) If your extended version fulfills the paragraph a), then our Editors will send it to 3 independent Reviewers outside your country. If not, our Editors are entitled to reject it from this early stage informing you properly. The positive answer of the 3 reviewers is necessary (attention: 2 yes and 1 no implies NO, i.e. rejection).

d) Our Editors will collect the reviewers' remarks and will send them again to you for acceptance/ acceptance after minor revision / acceptance after major revision / rejection

e) Possibly new rounds of review will be needed.

f) No additional fee is needed in case of acceptance.


http://www.worldses.org/journals/index.html 

The final list of the papers must have the approval of our Editors and 3 Reviewers, and of course the Editor-in-Chief of the particular Journal.

We want only authors that presented their papers to complete this web form:
http://...............   (the full web address was given only to authors who presented a paper) So, in this form you will need a password (the password was given only to the authors who presented a paper).
