stealing is stealing a cross cultural analysis on the perception of criminality for Physical Theft versus illegal downloading
The Journal of Undergraduate Research, 2015Co-Authors: Alexius Q. BabbAbstract:In our technology-driven world, consumers have access to a wealth of product options, but this access also allows consumers the opportunity to obtain purchasable content through illegal means. Past studies have addressed the perceptions of the criminality of online versus face-to-face Theft, but limitations have been consistent across studies with the frequent use of collegiate sample pools. It was important for this experiment to gather data from a broader world population to make results more generalizable. Therefore, we examined a total of 589 participants from a global participant pool to evaluate their perceptions of the criminality of online piracy or Physical Theft of music or software. This experiment hypothesized that (1) the perception of the criminality of illegal downloading of media would be assessed higher ratings by South Asian participants than North American participants, and (2) criminality ratings would be assessed higher ratings by females than males. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four vignettes. They were then asked a series of questions using semantic differential and Likert scales to assess their perception of the criminal act committed in the randomly selected vignette. A one-way ANCOVA and a multiple regression test were performed to test the hypotheses.

Stealing is stealing: A cross-cultural analysis on the perception of criminality for Physical Theft versus illegal downloading
2014Co-Authors: Alexius Q. BabbAbstract:Stealing is stealing: A cross-cultural analysis on the perception of criminality for Physical Theft versus illegal downloading Alexius Q. Babb Department of Psychology, Indiana University Kokomo In our technology-driven world consumers have access to a wealth of product options, but this also allows consumers the opportunity to gain access to purchasable content through illegal means. Past research has addressed the perceptions of the criminality of online versus face-to-face Theft, but limitations have been consistent across studies with the frequent use of collegiate sample pools. It was important for this experiment to gather data from a much broader world population to make results more generalizable. Therefore, we examined a total of 589 participants from a global participant pool to evaluate their perceptions of the criminality of online piracy or Physical Theft of music or software. This experiment hypothesized that (1) perception of the criminality of pirating media will not vary by culture. In addition, (2) criminality ratings of Physical Theft will be higher than the illegal downloading of digital media. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four vignettes. Afterwards, they were asked a series of questions using semantic differential and Likert scales to assess their perception of the criminal act committed in the randomly selected vignette. Data analysis is ongoing at this time, and performing an ANOVA will test the hypothesis. Mentor: Christina Downey, Department of Psychology, Indiana University Kokomo

application of rfid in closed stores to avoid Physical Theft and locate misplacement of materials
International journal of innovative research and development, 2013Co-Authors: Deepak Sachan, K V V Raju, Subrata BiswasAbstract:RFID is an emerging and wide spreading technology in the present era. RFID finds its application in many areas e.g material handling, inventory management, asset tracking, animal tracking etc. RFID is well established in material in inventory management in closed stores. Many companies are using RFID in their closed stores to manage the different kind of material particularly in non metal environment. The rampant Theft and misplacement of materials is a big cause to worry about and these basic problems are yet to be solved so that a complete solution for the inventory management can be provided. Hitherto stores are using CCTV camera to avoid these issues but RFID also promises solution to these problems. The present paper illustrates the complete design of an RFID system to avoid Physical Theft and material displacement.

neon system support for derived data management
Virtual Execution Environments, 2010Co-Authors: Qing Zhang, John Mccullough, Nabil Schear, Michael Vrable, Amin Vahdat, Alex C Snoeren, Geoffrey M Voelker, Stefan SavageAbstract:Modern organizations face increasingly complex information management requirements. A combination of commercial needs, legal liability and regulatory imperatives has created a patchwork of mandated policies. Among these, personally identifying customer records must be carefully access-controlled, sensitive files must be encrypted on mobile computers to guard against Physical Theft, and intellectual property must be protected from both exposure and "poisoning." However, enforcing such policies can be quite difficult in practice since users routinely share data over networks and derive new files from these inputs--incidentally laundering any policy restrictions. In this paper, we describe a virtual machine monitor system called Neon that transparently labels derived data using byte-level "tints" and tracks these labels end to end across commodity applications, operating systems and networks. Our goal with Neon is to explore the viability and utility of transparent information flow tracking within conventional networked systems when used in the manner in which they were intended. We demonstrate that this mechanism allows the enforcement of a variety of data management policies, including data-dependent confinement, mandatory I/O encryption, and intellectual property management.

endpoint security managing usb based removable devices with the advent of portable applications
Information Security Curriculum Development, 2007Co-Authors: Michael FabianAbstract:Endpoint security is a major concern of IT management staff as the cost of data loss is high in monetary value and consumer confidence. Sensitive data, traditionally, has been threatened by Physical Theft of hardcopy or a device containing sensitive data. Recently, with the advent of USB-based applications, the threats presented towards sensitive data have increased dramatically. IT managers should employ a layered defense-in-depth strategy to mitigate the risks posed by these devices. The strategy should include hardware and software based mitigation techniques, an acceptable use policy, and a security education program to maintain vigilance in security practices.
