Thanks to project funding from the HKSAR Government’s Innovation & Technology Commission , CECID has recently researched and developed a novel technology, Multi-Factor Data Protection, which aims to enhance data protection over the current existing solutions in the market while staying as easy-to-use as possible. An application – OneLock – has been devised to implement this technology to protect data in USB storage devices.

With OneLock, you can turn any off-the-shelf USB storage into a vault. Data in the storage device is encrypted with AES cryptology which is a highly acclaimed data protection technology and is adopted by many governments to protect top secret level documents. Conventionally, a user-defined password is used to unlock the encryption key. To improve data security, retrieval of encrypted content is confined to your designated computers using the right password. In case your USB storage is lost or being stolen, even a hacker can crack your password, without your designated computer, the information there can’t be read. Furthermore, OneLock completely eliminates data leakage threat by allowing you the data owner to destroy the encryption key planted in the designated computer, sealing the lost USB storage forever.

To ensure data privacy in your USB storage, check out OneLock NOW. It’s free for download from http://community.cecid.hku.hk/index.php/product/onelock/.

Event Brief: This seminar on XML-related technologies was a presentation on the distinctions, commonalities and applications of the W3C specifications XPath, XQuery, XSLT and XSL-FO. Attendees were invited to take advantage of Mr. Holman’s presence by submitting specific questions of any technical challenges with these technologies that could be addressed in a lecture format. Submissions sent in advance had taken precedence over submissions tabled during the presentation.  Time permitting, selected slides from Mr. Holman’s delivery at XML Prague in Prague, Czech Republic March 21, 2009 regarding the support of code lists in XML was reviewed. These slides addressed the role of the two OASIS specifications named genericode and context/value association files.

Software as a Service (SaaS),has become a new model of software deployment, operation, and maintenance. SaaS allows vendors to operate business applications for customers as Web Services on the Internet to ease software deployment and maintenance while customers can also pay to use the applications on demand to amortize software costs. However, for software providers and users to enjoy these benefits, they need to enable legacy applications to exchange data in Web Services. While redevelopment of existing applications would incur considerable additional investments, the benefits bought by SaaS might become unjustified.

In this regard, the Center for E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID) aims to research and develop a Universal Web Services Adaptor technology to ease building Web Services wrapper for existing applications. This project has received HK$1 Million funding from the Innovation and Technology Commission of Hong Kong Government with sponsorship and support from industry partners. Led by Prof. David Cheung, the project has commenced since Sept 2008 and will be completed in 18 months.
