  • Homeland Security Department: FY2008 Request for Appropriations
    2007
    Co-Authors: Jennifer E. Lake, Keith Bea, Blas Nunez-neto, Sarah A. Lister, Todd Masse, Alison Siskin, Chad C. Haddal, Francis X. Mccarthy, Harold C. Relyea, Shawn Reese
    Abstract:

    Abstract : The annual consideration of appropriations bills (regular, continuing, and supplemental) by Congress is part of a complex set of budget processes that also encompasses the consideration of budget resolutions, revenue and debt-limit legislation, other spending measures, and reconciliation bills. In addition, the operation of programs and the spending of appropriated funds are subject to constraints established in authorizing statutes. Congressional action on the budget for a fiscal year usually begins following the submission of the President's budget at the beginning of each annual session of Congress. Congressional practices governing the consideration of appropriations and other budgetary measures are rooted in the Constitution, the standing rules of the House and Senate, and statutes, such as the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. This report is a guide to one of the regular appropriations bills that Congress considers each year. It is designed to supplement the information provided by the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Homeland Security. It summarizes the status of the bill, its scope, major issues, funding levels, and related congressional activity, and is updated as events warrant. The report lists the key CRS staff relevant to the issues covered and related CRS products.

  • Chapter 8 – WLAN Rogue Access Point Detection and Mitigation
    Managing and Securing a Cisco SWAN, 2004
    Co-Authors: David Wall
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary The chapter discusses problems of wireless local area networks (WLANs). These problems include rogue access points and unauthorized people using otherwise legitimate access points. The chapter explains wireless-aware product features that address both of these problems, as well as how to set up and use them. The chapter also discusses mitigation of the threat of rogue access points that pose significant Security threats to businesses and their networks. Rogue access points are unauthorized access points that are installed by employees without approval from the information technology (IT) and Security Department or by an intruder trying to trick valid users to gain sensitive information. Unauthorized access points can pose a significant threat by creating a back door into sensitive corporate networks. Several manual techniques—such as wireless sniffers and wired network scanner—exist for detecting rogue access points are described in the chapter.

  • SAFECOMP Workshops - Approach for Demonstrating Safety for a Collision Avoidance System
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2014
    Co-Authors: Thomas Gruber, Christian Zinner
    Abstract:

    For many years, the Digital Safety and Security Department of the Austrian Institute of Technology has been developing stereo vision algorithms for various application purposes. Recently, these algorithms have been adapted for use in a collision avoidance system for tramways. The safety validation of such a system is a specific challenge as - like in the automotive domain - the rate of false positives cannot be lowered to zero. While automotive suppliers typically tackle with this problem by reducing the sensitivity of the system and validating it in hundreds of thousands of test kilometres, this paper presents an approach how it is possible to demonstrate safety with a carefully chosen functionality and less field test kilometres.
