1.3.1 Measurement Overhead In this experiment, we found the latency incurred in measuring CPU cycles. This measurement of time overhead has to be subtracted from the forthcoming experiments. Methodology: We have used the RDTSC – RDTSCP instruction along with CPUID (serialize the instruction pipeline). This function fetches the count of CPU clock cycles. After taking the elapsed clock cycles between two successive calls to RDTSC instruction, we can divide it by the CPU clock frequency to get…

“The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it completely off,” (Orwell, 2). However unlike Winston, we have placed our “telescreens” in our homes not the government. We feed our personal information such as our birthday,…

In this research we will examine participants in an interview about their ideas on some inmates and about their sentences and for the charge they had. To do this we will use the In-Depth Interview to get my information and using the labeling theory to help me find my answers. My hypothesis is finding out if people care about what types of punishment is handed out to certain sentences and if people believe some punishments are harsher than others. We do believe that people will have many…

Concurrently, a risk assessment and small-scale evaluative exercise was conducted in building 1143 to determine overall AFSNCOA preparedness for an active shooter threat. Completion of the trial research and exercise provided ample information to begin development of the information, guidance, and procedures that would form the active shooter annex. Upon completion of the final active shooter annex and approval by AFSNCOA leadership, the annex was published and a power point was developed to…

owned computers are being used to make a vpn connection to the corporate data center. In the course of normal business, remote users access non-public information and sensitive corporate data. There are two distinct security issues associated with the current method of remote computing. First, regulatory requirements require that non-public information at rest must be protected by encryption. Additionally, corporate policy requires sensitive corporate data at rest must be protected by…
