Well logging Sonic logging is a well logging tool that provides a Geologic formation formation s interval transit time, designated as math Delta t math , which is a measure of a formation s capacity to transmit seismic waves . Geologically, this capacity varies with Petrology lithology and rock textures, most notably decreasing with an increasing effective porosity . This means that a sonic log can be used to calculate the porosity of a formation if the seismic velocity of the rock matrix, math V mat math , and pore fluid, math V l math , are known, which is very useful for hydrocarbon exploration . Process of sonic logging File Sonic log.png thumb Source and receiver relationships for a sonic log The velocity is calculated by measuring the travel time from the piezoelectric transmitter to the receiver. To compensate for the variations in the drilling mud thickness, there are actually two receivers, one near and one far. This is because the travel time within the drilling mud will be common for both, so the travel time within the formation is given by math Delta t math math t far t near math where math t far math travel time to far receiver math t near math travel time to near receiver. If it is necessary to compensate for tool tilt and variations in the borehole width then both up down and down up arrays can be used and an average can be calculated. Overall this gives a sonic log that can be made up of 1 or 2 pulse generators and 2 or 4 detectors, all located in single unit called a sonde , which is lowered down the well ref name SheriffGeldart Sheriff, R.

other uses2 Shibboleth Unreferenced date December 2009 In the field of computersecurity , the word shibboleth means to test something, and based on that response to take a particular course of action. The most commonly seen usage is logging on to a computer with a password or other type of credential . If the password is entered correctly, the user can log on to the computer if the password entered is incorrect, access is blocked. There are various classes of computersecurity related shibboleth. Class 1 Something known perhaps a password or another fact. Class 2 Something held a card or a physical tag of some kind. Class 3 Something that is a biometric feature such as a fingerprint or an iris scan. The three classes are also jokingly referred to as something you forget , something you lose , and something you cease to be . In general, it is considered more secure to combine various classes of shibboleth, rather than using the approach of just requiring a class 1 shibboleth that is common today. So for example, a high security system might require an authorized user to login by entering a password, swiping an encoded card and passing a biometric test.

Main article on the sport of Amateur Radio Contesting Image contest logging software w5jlp.JPG thumb right 300px The use of a computer to log contacts has become an integral part of radio contesting. Contest logging software refers to specialized computer software programs designed for use by competitors in amateur radio contesting . Most contest logging software is written by individual programmers who are active radio contesters. Purpose The primary purpose of contest logging software is to record the details of two way radio contacts made during amateur radio contests. At a minimum, these details include the time, band or frequency of operation, the call sign of the other station, and the received exchange data. This log data is recorded in a Binary file binary or ASCII format. Most contest logging software packages will also compute a running score for the contest during operation and will help track which multipliers have been worked and which have not. Typical contest logging software includes features for post contest processing of the log to prepare it for submission to the contest sponsor. There is great variation in the features offered and their specific implementation, which can lead to passionate debates among the supporters of specific software packages. Common features Many programs offer advanced features for controlling external devices this can include controlling the frequency of a radio, sending Morse code over a serial port or parallel port interface, interfacing with sound card s used for the transmission telecommunications transmission and reception of digital ....

HCISec is the study of interaction between humans and computers, or HCI , specifically as it pertains to information security . Its aim, in plain terms, is to improve the usability of security features in end user applications. Unlike HCI, which has roots in the early days of Xerox PARC during the 1970s, HCISec is a nascent field of study by comparison. Not surprisingly, interest in this topic tracks with that of Internet security , which has become an area of broad public concern only in very recent years. Historically, security features exhibit poor usability for reasons that include they were added in casual afterthought they were hastily patched in to address newly discovered security bug s they address very complex use case s without the benefit of a Wizard software software wizard their interface designers lacked understanding of related security concepts their interface designers were not usability experts often meaning they were the application developers themselves See also Human computer interaction Further reading http www.simson.net thesis Design Principles and Patterns for Computer Systems That Are Simultaneously Secure and Usable , by Simson Garfinkel External links http gaudior.net alma biblio.html HCISec Bibliography http tech.groups.yahoo.com group hcisec HCISec Yahoo Group http www.usablesecurity.com Usable Security Blog Category Human communication Category Human computer interaction Category Computer security ... more details
Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date December 2010 A stepping stone StSt is a type of computersecurity measure which consists of placing several logical security systems, used as authentication servers, in a serial disposition to emulate a physical narrow channel, analogous to a physical path formed by stepping stone s used to cross a river. Using this system, it is possible to apply a granular control over each system acting as a stone , establishing different risk levels as so many systems which have been placed in the series. For example, to grant a user with access to an OpenSSH server, for executing an application in a high security environment, we could put a front end system such as a Sun Solaris with a Citrix Metaframe in the 1st security layer. The 2nd layer could be an MS Terminal Services with an Secure Shell SSH Client. Thirdly, the last layer could be based on a Linux system with an OpenSSH Server, which would grant access to the final application. Every system could have a common secure system to log on as SecureID RSA SecureID , X.509 certificates based, Challenge response challenge response systems, etc. or a mixture of them. It depends on the risk analysis over the environment treated. This computersecurity practice tends to decrease the system usability and is hard to maintain, so it should be implemented only in high security environments. This practice could be considered as part of a well known security principle Defense in Depth computing Security In Depth , in this case, applied to the access control, adding logical barriers and trenches, composed by diverse authentication systems.

A computersecurity policy defines the goals and elements of an organization s computer systems. The definition can be highly formal or informal. Security policies are enforced by organizational policies or security mechanisms. A technical implementation defines whether a computer system is secure or insecure . These formal policy models can be categorized into the core security principles of Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. For example the Bell La Padula model is a confidentiality policy model , whereas Biba model is an integrity policy model . Formal description If a system is regarded as a Finite state automaton finite state automaton with a set of transitions operations that change the system s state, then a security policy can be seen as a statement that partitions these states into authorized and unauthorized ones. Given this simple definition one can define a secure system as one that starts in an authorized state and will never enter an unauthorized state.

Wikify date September 2010 A principal in Computer Science is an entity that can be Authentication authenticated by a computer system or network. Authentication is the process of validating and confirming the identity of such an entity. Principals, in addition to being able to be authenticated, are typically capable of being assigned rights and privileges over resources in the network. Together, the ability to authenticate a principal and to grant rights and privileges to it allow the entity represented by the principal to access resources on the network. The two most common types of principals are users representing physical persons or functional accounts used for representing a computational entity and computers, which correspond to physical or virtual systems connected to the network. Some systems allow for other types of principals such as those representing services without an associated user account . Typically a principal has an associated identifier such as a security identifier that allows for the principal to be referenced for purposes of identification or assignment of properties and permissions.
