Dear Nicety, As regards your problem with Windoze freezing and locking up your computer I'm afraid your "SOL" as finding a true solution. There are many factors in the operating system that cause conflicts resulting in a locked machine. One major problem is that many programs don't release memory when you exit. When working in Windoze I've always taken the approach of rebooting on a regular basis before I've had problems, especially if I've opened and closed several different applications. Back in August 1999 John Kirch, a Microsoft Certified Professional, wrote an extensive article discussing the merits of a *nix operating system vs Windows NT. You can read it at http://www.unix-vs-nt.org/kirch/. What was true back then is even truer today. Every current "worm" you are hearing about on the news lately occurs in Windoze operating systems. So, IMHO, the solution to your machine locking-up is to change the OS. Running Linux, my machine has been up for periods of weeks at a time with no need to reboot. In over a year of running I can count the lock-ups on one hand and have fingers left over. I have more software installed than I ever had in Windoze ... and the price is right -- free.

Comments on Site #140: http://www.prosperouswomen.bizland.com/masterminding Margarete MDegaston(a)aol.com ~~~~ I really love clean, uncluttered, easy to read and navigate sites like these two. They are both very attractive and well presented. In my opinion, the book site could have been a little softer, or with similar characteristics to the next site, preparing me for the site that it links to, and having a relationship to it. What I did feel most, was that I was expecting something related to the url "prosperouswomen" to come up, as this "word" was what caught my attention and caused me to click in the first place. I feel the book page should be a tool for the "PW" page and not a preface to it. The main site should be the PW and the book site could be a link or a popup or an additional page. (You need to take e out of changing on the book page.) With these: Find out how you can receive the free book. Email us at directions4U(a)aol.com and For this and a number of other free books on networkmarketing write to us at directions4U(a)aol.com I would have liked these to be clickable links, rather than copy and paste. Very nice job on the sites, Margarete ... I really liked them. (and I have ordered the book!) ~~~~ I waited over 70 seconds and had yet to see the first page. Could not determine if this was related to volume of graphics or where we were headed. ~~~~ Very clear, focused site with one page promoting a free book. Don't underline text unless it's a link, or somehow distinguish between the links and that which is not. I finally figured out the logo for properouswomen was also linked so I checked that out also. I think you need to make that link more noticeable, and also link to your bizland site. If you used a form for ordering the book instead of sending a request message to an aol email address you would get more requests, and also might be able to automate this process. ~~~~ I loved this site because it was clear, simple and to the point. It also peaked my curiosity and I followed the link supplied. If only other sites we so simplistic! ~~~~ With the masterminding site, the first sentence 'Major Impact on Your Life' is incomplete. There were also run-on sentences in the copy, even though the copy is quite effective. The box with "Life Changeing Insight" needs the 'e' taken out of 'changeing', and it looked like the text could have been extended to go from side to side. In the first paragraph '... an amazing 100 year old text...' felt like it should be 'book' or 'secret' instead of using the word 'text'. Also it would add credibility to say where or how or by whom it was discovered. The message is clear, the site design simple. Two things that would make the site more effective (on getting people to request the book) would be to say if this is an ebook, how long it is, in what format it is, etc. and then also using a form for people to order instead of emailing. You should be able to pick up a form for this just about anywhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ moderator: Amy Mossel: Moderator(a)AEOpublishing.com posting: MyInput(a)AEOpublishing.com ______________________________________________________ Send posts and questions (or your answers) to: mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com Please send suggestions and comments to: mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com To change your subscribed address, send both new and old address to mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com See below for unsubscribe instructions.

*** Feb/March Project Update *** Since our last update, 22 companies have committed to participate and launch the Image Quality and Usability Assurance: Phase I project. Also, we completed the SVPCo/FSTC Black and White vs. Gray-Scale in Bank Operations project in February, and SVPCo is now utilizing that report as a key component of its planning. Lastly, our Minimum Required Practices for Global Sourcing project has issued a call for participation, and commitments are being made by both financial institutions and technology partners. FSTC provides an action-oriented, collaborative forum for our members to address shared business opportunities and challenges through technology projects and knowledge-sharing. We view our projects as our core activity, and one of the key benefits of FSTC membership is eligibility to participate in these projects. In our efforts to keep our members and friends up-to-date on the latest developments in these active and developing projects, we provide our colleagues this periodic project update. As always, please contact me or Zach Tumin, FSTC Executive Director, for more information. Or visit our website at http://fstc.org. Active Projects: 1. Business Continuity: Technology Best Practices Expertise Center (launched Nov 2003) 2. Survivability of Check Security Features in an Imaged Environment (launched Oct 2003) 3. Image Quality and Usability Assurance: Phase I (launching March 2004) Projects in Formation: 1. Minimum Required Practices for Global Sourcing (call for participation issued) 2. Phishing and Financial Services 3. eBilling Self Service through Federated Identity 4. Biometrics in Financial Services: Assessment and Action 5. Treasury Services Integration: Data Exchange and Customer Connectivity through Web Services (on hold) 6. A Federated Identity Implementation Framework for Secure Email (on hold) 7. Transformation to Open Mission Critical Systems ______________ ACTIVE PROJECTS: 1. Business Continuity: Technology Best Practices Expertise Center http://fstc.org/projects/dr-bestpractices/ The Technology Best Practices Expertise Center Phase I initiative has brought industry leaders together to jointly develop consolidated, industry-vetted best practices and actionable recommendations for technology recovery in post-outage, remote recovery. Regulatory compliance will be a key requirement considered by the team. The resulting documentation will define best practices, identify key challenges and gaps in available solutions, and identify recommendations for further actions (such as testing) in future efforts. The objective is to enable participating companies to recover in a cost-effective manner, to validate and compare their own recovery strategies with their peers, and to address regulatory compliance in an industry forum. The project launched on November 5, 2003 in New York, and is expected to conclude in April 2004. Project participants include: Bank One, Bank of America, Comerica, JPMorgan Chase, Huntington, RBC Financial, US Bank, Wachovia, and IBM. This initiative originated in our Business Continuity SCOM. (http://fstc.org/advisory/business-continuity.cfm) ______________ 2. Survivability of Check Security Features in an Imaged Environment http://fstc.org/projects/new.cfm#securityfeatures In this project, participating financial institutions and partner technology companies are selecting current and proposed (next-generation) check security features. Working with participating industry partners and financial institutions, the project will test the survivability of these check security features in high-speed and low-speed capture, in both gray scale and black & white imaged environments. The result will be an independent indication as to the viability of current and proposed next-generation check security features in a truncated (imaged) environment. This project launched in October 2003, held its first in-person meeting November 18th in Charlotte, hosted by IBM, and is expected to conclude in the April 2004 timeframe. Project participants include Bank of America, Canadian Payments Association, Comerica, Federal Reserve, First Citizens, JPMorgan Chase, US Treasury, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, and Zions Bank; ASD Corp, Cheque Guard, Clarke American, Deluxe, Fiserv, Harland, IBM, and SQN Banking Systems. This project originates from the Check Truncation SIG (http://fstc.org/advisory/check-truncation.cfm) ______________ 3. Image Quality and Usability Assurance: Phase I http://fstc.org/projects/new.cfm#imagequality A group of FSTC member institutions and technology companies convened January 13th in Atlanta to develop an initial set of objectives and deliverables for a Phase I FSTC image quality initiative. The goal is to bring financial institutions together with key technology partners to better understand the current industry activities in the area of image quality, identify critical challenges yet to be addressed, and leverage the FSTC project environment as a place to undertake key collaborative development, testing, prototyping, and specification required to ultimately ensure minimum image quality assessment capabilities in centralized and distributed capture points, regardless of vendor or institution. The ultimate objective is to prevent unusable check images (and their financial exposure) from entering the payment system. A call for participation was issued February 4, and since then 22 companies have committed to pariticpate. The first in-person project meeting will be held April 2nd in San Francisco, following the FSTC/ABA/Federal Reserve/SVPCo Image Assurance and Security event March 31-April 1 at the Fairmont (http://fstc.org/meetings/next.cfm) The project is expected to run for 90 days, and conclude in June 2004. ______________ PROJECTS IN FORMATION: 1. Minimum Required Practices for Global Sourcing http://fstc.org/projects/new.cfm#offshore This primary objective of this initiative is to develop a comprehensive set of tactical minimum required practices for both financial institutions and vendors, as a baseline for the industry. With increasing regulatory interest, and a desire to collaborate to improve the overall strength of the financial industry, FSTC members have defined a series of activities for 2004 that address key gaps and opportunities shared by FSTC member institutions. Areas of interest include data privacy, business continuity, governance, safeguarding intellectual property, and others. An in-person meeting was held February 26th in Orlando, bringing our core group together with a broader industry audience to share the group's vision, as well as further refine the scope, objectives, and next steps. A call for participation has been issued, and a number of financial institutions and technology partners have committed to participate. Please contact Zach Tumin (zachary.tumin(a)fstc.org) for more information. ______________ 2. Phishing in Financial Services FSTC member-institutions have expressed an interest in understanding and addressing, at a technical level, the complex problem of phishing via both email and web sites. A core group is developing a strawman statement of financial institution requirements regarding phishing that will address issues of ease of use and acceptance, effectiveness, cost and complexity of implementation, and required industry coordination. When validated with a larger group of financial institutions and technology providers, it is the intention of these members to inventory and evaluate current vendor solutions against the set of known threat models and financial institution requirements, and to work with industry groups to prove/test/validate those solutions. For more information, please contact Zach Tumin (zachary.tumin(a)fstc.org) An FI-only project definition session is being held March 24th in New York to begin this process. ______________ 3. eBilling Self Service Through Federated Identity This proposed project would seek to bring FSTC members together to define an implementation framework for using federated identity standards such as SAML to link financial institution sites with biller self-service sites. The proposition for billers is reduced identity management costs and increased adoption, while financial institutions benefit from increased online traffic, stronger customer service, and increased use of online services. Customers will benefit from having a consolidated access point for disparate billing sites and fewer usernames and passwords to remember. A core group of financial institutions and technology companies are currently developing this concept, and developing an initial set of use cases. Also, these companies are talking to billers and banks who might participate in a pilot. We expect to be able to share more information about this project soon. ______________ 4. Biometrics in Financial Services: Assessment and Action Using as a basis the internal control objectives and practices of the ANSI Standard X9.84 - 2003, Security and Management of Biometric Data, a core group of interested FSTC members is developing a project concept to assist financial institutions in determining the viability of biometric technologies in several financial institution-specific use cases, including account openings. As currently conceived, this effort will culminate in the assessment of the current state (2004) and desired future state of biometric standardization, technologies, and business process efforts, and produce a statement of financial institution requirements and recommendations on issues of interoperability, security and management, and customer service for critical business processes. The requirements for institutions to utilize data in a standardized and privacy-aware fashion will be a important performance metric. Ultimately, the project may include the development of a reference implementation and the deployment of a pilot system to validate the reference implementation. ______________ 5. Treasury Services Integration: Data Exchange and Customer Connectivity through Web Services (on hold) http://fstc.org/projects/new.cfm#tsi As a potential Phase II following the previous Web Services for Corporate Cash Management effort, a core group of FSTC institutions and technology companies have defined key business objectives and deliverables for a discovery phase, and subsequent pilot-level project utilizing Web Services in the Treasury Services / Cash Management area. The project, as it currently stands, will seek to further develop the Phase I set of web services and associated definitions to create new and open-standards-based connectivity options between banks, and between banks and their customers. The business goals are to enable standards-based "plug-and-play" integration capabilities between institutions and customer platforms, whether ERP, Treasury Work Station (TWS), or desktop. A core group of financial institutions and technology companies has committed to launching this initiative in the second half of 2004. This project is considered on-hold until later this year. ______________ 6. A Federated Identity Implementation Framework for Secure Email (on hold) Coming from discussions in the FSTC Advisory Council Security and Infrastructure Standing Committee (SCOM) (http://fstc.org/advisory/security.cfm) FSTC members are putting plans together to create a federated identity implementation framework, with the primary application being secure email. The primary business objectives are to create interoperability for shared customers and business partners, as well as to reduce the cost of managing identity databases internally within institutions. The project would deliver a set of technical, business, and legal/regulatory definitions to create a framework for the industry to utilize in secure email and ultimately other applications. An in-person session was held January 8th in Boston, hosted by Fidelity. A revised proposal was developed coming out of this meeting, however, given the relative immaturity of secure email technology and solutions that have been selected and implemented within FSTC member institutions, the team agreed that this project should be put on hold while those decisions are made. It is expected that later in the year, a discussion about enhancing secure email through federation will be started up again. ______________ 7. Transformation to Open Mission Critical Systems The transformation of systems from higher cost or proprietary delivery to open systems is one of the most hotly debated and discussed topics in financial services IT. While there is great promise in the flexibility and efficiencies gained, there is also risk and cost. An FSTC project will soon form up to determine answers to such key questions as, "Are those transformations viable?" and "What are the costs and processes by which a successful transformation program will be run?" The vision of this initiative is to bring together financial institutions to investigate the needs, processes, best practices, technology issues, risk factors, organizational issues and lessons-learned for transformation projects which move core business processes from legacy IT assets to open systems. We will provide additional details shortly. If you are interested in joining an interest group around this topic, please contact us. ______________ ## ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://ls.fstc.org/subscriber> --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R.

Don't know. Updates generated scratch. Prepare to be surprised if not deceived by anything digital or analogue or intergalactic. Especially if authenticated, signed, sealed, shipped through thickets of traps and contaminants. You know that, though, and are just being humorously baiting and entrapping. Like Archive.org and Wikipedia and gosh the whole mess seething with malevolence. I replied to John:

Fw: CfP - Workshop on Security of Mobile Multiagent Systems

(SEMAS-2001) Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 20:04:09 -0800 Sender: bounce-dcsb(a)reservoir.com Reply-To: "Frank Sudia" <fsudia(a)home.com> [Other branches of computer science discovering security.] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dieter Hutter" <hutter(a)dfki.de> To: <undisclosed-recipients:;> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 11:30 PM Subject: CfP - Workshop on Security of Mobile Multiagent Systems (SEMAS-2001) This message was sent to several mailing lists. We apologise if you receive multiple copies of it. CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on SECURITY OF MOBILE MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS (SEMAS-2001) To be held at the Fifth International Conference on Autonomous Agents (Agents 2001) Montreal, Canada May 29th 2001 http://www.dfki.de/~kuf/semas/ The far reaching influence of the Internet has resulted in an increased interest in agent technologies, which are poised to play a key role in the implementation of successful Internet and WWW-based applications in the future. While there is still considerable hype concerning agent technologies, there is also an increasing awareness of the problems involved. In particular, that these applications will not be successful unless security issues can be adequately handled. Although there is a large body of work on cryptographic techniques that provide basic building-blocks to solve specific security problems, relatively little work has been done in investigating security in the multiagent system context. The introduction of mobile software agents significantly increases the risks involved in Internet and WWW-based applications. For example, if we allow agents to enter our hosts or private networks, we must offer the agents a platform so that they can execute correctly but at the same time ensure that they will not have deleterious effects on our hosts or any other agents / processes in our network. If we send out mobile agents, we should also be able to provide guarantees about specific aspects of their behaviour, i.e., we are not only interested in whether the agents carry-out their intended task correctly. They must defend themselves against attacks initiated by other agents, and survive in potentially malicious environments. Agent technology can also be used to support network security. For example in the context of intrusion detection, intelligent guardian agents may be used to implement active protection strategies on a firewall or intelligent monitoring agents can be used to analyse the behaviour of agents migrating through a network. Part of the inspiration for such multi-agent systems comes from primitive animal behaviour, such as that of guardian ants protecting their hill or from biological immune systems. Topics of Interest - ------------------ We welcome the submission of papers from the full spectrum of issues associated with security in mobile multiagent systems, both in the public Internet and in private networks. We particularly encourage the discussion of the following topics: - - security policies for agent environments - - security mechanisms that can be implemented by using (mobile) multiple agents - - reasoning about security in an agent architecture - - security for agents (against other agents, malicious hosts, and software failures) - - security for agent hosts (against agent attacks and agent deficiency) - - security through agents (for any form of malfunctioning in the network) - - application of security mechanism in a (mobile) multiagent context - - integration of traditional security mechanisms to the agent realm - - design methodologies for secure (mobile) multiagent systems The workshop aims at bringing together people from the two relevant research fields, information security and agent-oriented programming. Consequently we would like to encourage discussion papers, conceptual papers, system papers, and application papers. It is planned to publish the workshop papers with a scientific publisher after the workshop. Submission Details - ------------------ To participate in the workshop you should submit an original research paper of up to 5000 words (approximately 8 pages maximum) or a position paper (up to 2000 words, approximately 3 pages) to the workshop chair, to arrive no later than 19 March 2001. It is planned to structure the workshops into invited talks, technical presentations and panel discussions. The technical presentations will be selected from the research papers. Formatting instructions can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html and should be strictly followed. The first page should include the full name and contact details of at least one author (email and full postal address). Electronic submissions are mandatory. Acceptable formats are PDF and PostScript.
