Sicherheitslösung gesucht
by Matthias Jaenichen 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Moin moin aus Hamburg, folgende Anfrage erreichte mich vor einigen Tagen, auch wenn ich mir dazu schon meine eigenen Gedanken gemacht habe, möchte ich es hier mal diskutieren: --- >"Wir sind auf der Suche nach einem Tool zum >loggen von kritischen Admin Tätigkeiten! Es soll >möglich sein für uns und unsere Kunden über die >Tätigkeiten von Administratoren Reports zu >generrieren (Für Basel II notwendig). Es soll >weiters für Admins nicht möglich sein diese Logs >zu ändern bzw. zu manipulieren! Derzeit haben >unsere Admins uneingeschränkte Berechtigungen! > >Folgende Anforderungen, welche Eingang in die >weiteren Betrachtungen finden sollen, werden an >das Produkt zum Logging der krit. Admin.-Aktivitäten gestellt: >* Offene Schnittstellen zur Einbindung von externen Systemen >* Aufbewahrungs-Dauer der Log-Daten soll konfigurierbar sein >* Die im Hintergrund liegenden Daten-Bestände >(Datenbanken) müssen portierbar sein (besonders >wichtig bei proprietären Datenbank-Systemen) >* Die gesammelten Log-Daten müssen entsprechend >abgesichert sein (Verschlüsselung, Zugriffs-Sicherheit) >* Es soll möglich sein, aus definierten Log-Events Alerts zu generieren >* Das Logging-System soll auch sich selbst >gegen unerlaubten Zugriff / Daten-Manipulation überwachen >* Es muss möglich sein, für einen definierten >Zeitraum Reports generieren zu können >* Die Oberfläche soll einfach und intuitiv >auch für Nicht-Experten - zu bedienen sein >* Log-Events sollen priorisierbar und kategorisierbar sein >* Log-Events sollen in Echtzeit weitergeleitet >werden, bei Verbindungs-Abbrüchen (z.B. >verursacht durch Netzwerkausfälle) dürfen diese >jedoch nicht verloren gehen (Caching). >* Das Produkt muss mandantenfähig sein. (Wir >verwalten ein Netz mit ca. 100 unabhängigen AD´s) " >Gibt es hierzu Erfahrungen, Produkte, Hinweise, >Kommentare usw. die Ihr zur Verfügung stellen könnt?? --- Neben der Frage, ob es solch ein Tool gibt, ist natürlich auch die rechtliche Bewertung interessant. Insbesondere ist m.E. "Basel II" ein vorgeschobenes Argument. Auch arbeitsrechlich dürfte der Einsatz sehr problematisch sein. Wenn man das implementieren wollte, was wäre nötig? Geht es unter Windows überhaupt? Evtl. mal ein interessantes Thema für eine Diplomarbeit!!!

Protecting information and services from malicious use is essential for their deployment and acceptance. While the main protection goals denoting confidentiality, integrity and availability are of a general nature, their relevance, realization and enforcement vary depending upon the underlying architectures, technologies and applications. Tomorrows information systems will accommodate highly dynamic applications and build infrastructures with lots of mobile, autonomic nodes and ad hoc, structureless relationships between them. Human interaction assumes new forms and has to be pre-planned and expressed by means of rules that are part of security policies. To enforce security rules, not only context data, but also personal data is needed. In highly dynamic systems, security and privacy become mutually exclusive. ETRICS solicits research contributions focusing on emerging trends in security and privacy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM | http://www.etrics.org/program.php TOPICS - SOA and Security - Intrusion Detection - Vulnerability Analysis - Security Policies - Security Engineering - Cryptography - Secure Mobility - Trusted Computing - Security Protocols - Privacy KEYNOTE SPEAKERS | http://www.etrics.org/keynotes.php - By renowned industry and research leaders Best Practice Security Solutions | http://www.etrics.org/applications.php - What can you learn from industry?

CALL FOR PAPERS - Workshop "Security and Privacy in Future Business Services" at ETRICS'06
by netsec＠m-strasser.de 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

CALL FOR PAPERS Paper submission deadline has been extended to New Submission Deadline February 28, 2006 ============================================================================ Workshop Security and Privacy in Future Business Services ============================================================================ International Conference on Emerging Trends in Information and Communication Security /\ ||__^_ /\ ETRICS 2006 _/\_| \_||______________________________________________________________ June 6-9, 2006, FREIBURG, GERMANY http://www.etrics.org/workshops Individualization of business services is one of the most promising business development prospects for future markets. Customized products and services, individual price differentiation, personalized promotions, and location/time-sensitive addressing of customers are raising marketers attention. Particularly ubiquitous com¬puting technologies, with their mobile and wireless interfaces, are laying the grounds for these developments: information about purchase behavior and location, proximity, presence, after-sales usage patterns, and even personal emotional states will potentially be combined and analyzed. Technical progress, however, not only improves the available data pool but also results in new challenges for security and privacy. Handling the trade-off between high-quality individualized services and maintaining pri¬vacy and security seems to be a key factor for business success. Without suitable mechanisms for enforcing the correct handling of data collection and processing, new service ideas may not receive marketplace acceptance. This workshop therefore focuses on technical and economic mechanisms addressing the trade-off between privacy and individualization. It aims to bring together privacy experts on an international level to discuss recent advances in trust-promoting mechanisms. To this end, the workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on theoretical and practical aspects of security and privacy technologies as well as economic models that may enforce a correct handling of sensitive data. Theoretical work, prototypes and experimental studies are equally welcome. Selected contributions will be invited to submit a full paper to a special issue of the Wirtschaftsinformatik journal. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ================== * Valuation of personal data/private information * Private data markets and market mechanisms * Trust management from a business process perspective * Trust management from a technical perspective * Political dimensions of privacy and security * Drivers of technology acceptance: what is the role of privacy and security in a Technology Acceptance Model? * Empirical studies on privacy and/or security perception and behavior * Technical mechanisms to promote trust, privacy and security, especially - Reputation mechanisms - Architectures and models for identity management - Pseudonymity management - Anonymity - Authentication * Privacy and security for RFID and location-based technologies * Privacy-enhancing technologies for enterprises Important Dates: ================ February 28, 2006: Submission of position paper (send 2 pages to sackmann(a)iig.uni-freiburg.de) March 10, 2006: Notification of acceptance for the workshop, March 10, 2006: Invitation to submit a full paper to the journal Wirtschaftsinformatik Workshop Chairs: ================ Stefan Sackmann, University of Freiburg, Germany Sarah Spiekermann, University of Berlin, Germany Program Committee: ================== Alessandro Acquisti, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA Jens Grossklags, UC Berkeley, USA Marit Hansen, Independent Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig-Holstein, Germany Marc Langheinrich, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Ursula Sury, Hochschulen für Wirtschaft und Technik und Architektur Luzern, Switzerland

Web Services Challenge-06 / CEC-EEE 2006
by netsec＠m-strasser.de 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Apologize if you received multiple copies of this message. *************************************************************** Call For Contribution for the Web Services Challenge-06 in conjunction with The IEEE International Conference on e-Technology, e-Commerce, and e- Services (EEE-06) and the IEEE International Conference on Electronic Commerce (CEC-06) June 26-29, 2006, San Francisco, California Overview ========= The 2006 Web Services Challenge is co-located with the Conference on Electronic Commerce (CEC) and the Conference on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE). This third competition extends the original criteria of the first two competitions which focused on service discovery and service composition based on syntactic matching of WSDL part names. This year, the competition will also include semantic aspects. Since formalisms for representing semantics of services are quite complex and several different proposals/approaches exist, this competition adheres to a traditional approach. The organizers decided to include the computational complexity of semantics in the competition by leveraging classical XML standards. Input/Output messages of the service descriptions will be semantically linked via inheritance relationships as implemented using complex XML Schema types. The participants will be required to determine relations between different types during service discovery and service composition. The WS-Challenge (http://insel.flp.cs.tu-berlin.de/wsc06/) invites the participation of students and researchers addressing the different challenges stated in the Call for Participation and described in more detail in the technical description area. The competition entails the submission of a 2 page description of the approach to be submitted in early 2006. After a peer-review process, the technical descriptions will be included in the workshop proceedings of the joint conference. As a next step later in the spring of 2006, the participants will be required to provide a preliminary version of their software for a pre-competition evaluation stage. The pre-competition evaluation is required in order for teams to participate in the challenge taking place during the conference. Competition details are available at http://insel.flp.cs.tu-berlin.de/wsc06/ Important Dates: ================ * March 15th, 2006 Submission of Technical Description (2 pages, formatting conforming to IEEE CS Press Proceedings) * March 31st, 2006 Notification of Acceptance of Technical Description * April 15th, 2006 Final Version of Technical Description * May 15th, 2006 Pre-Evaluation of Matchmaking Software * June 26th-29th, 2006 Competition on Conference Site For more information contact the co-chairs: =========================================== M.
