Mark Jennings spent more than 20 years serving his country in the U.S. Army
Airborne. When he retired around 2002, "Sarge," as he was known, enjoyed gardening, cooking out and bicycling, and was known
for serving coffee to anyone who wanted to stop by in the morning. Ted
Forystek, who was Jennings' neighbor in the small, working-class unincorporated neighborhood near Charlie
Parker's diner, describes his friend as "just a downright great guy."
Next to him, Curtis Leroy Sanders doesn't look so great. Paralyzed by two bullets lodged in his spine almost 40 years
ago, Sanders lives on disability and seems to spend his time accumulating
traffic tickets for infractions like running stop signs and traffic lights,
speeding as much as 30 miles per hour over the limit, driving under the
influence of alcohol and drugs, and driving while his license is suspended or
So when the two men collided on Sept. 29, 2007 — Jennings, on his bicycle, and Sanders, in a Dodge Magnum — it would have been much tidier and somewhat easier for all concerned if Jennings' messy death could have at least served as some sort of morality play. And if it had been a simple clear-cut case of good guy killed by a bad guy, Sanders would have undoubtedly been locked away. Instead, he was convicted of speeding up to 10 miles per hour over the limit, DUI and violation of his driver's license restriction, because his muscle car wasn't properly equipped for a paraplegic driver (he was operating his accelerator pedal with a wooden stick). He got a year's worth of probation and 90 days in the county jail.
Forystek left the courtroom feeling nauseated. "It made me sick to my stomach that the man wasn't thrown in the pen right then and there," he fumes.
Here's the problem: Sanders didn't run into the beloved bicyclist, "Sarge"; Jennings ran into Sanders.
It was a lovely autumn day. Jennings had just set off on a bike ride with his usual Saturday afternoon crew of Forystek and Stefany Henson. Most Saturdays, the three rode the Interurban Trail. On this particular balmy afternoon, they planned to ride downtown to the Route 66 Festival, and then on through Oak Ridge Cemetery. Forystek and Henson wanted to throw the bikes in Jennings' pickup truck and motor to town, but Jennings refused to squander the beautiful weather. They had gone about half a mile, and were northbound on First Street, near Cornell, when Jennings unexpectedly veered off the sidewalk and down a driveway.
With a drink — iced tea, it turns out — in one hand, Jennings lost control of his bike. It wobbled down the driveway
and may have tipped over before colliding with Sanders, who was speeding by in
his Magnum. Jennings disappeared under the car and was spun out the back.
According to Springfield Police Department's crash reconstruction report, Sanders traveled another 55 feet before applying
the brakes, then 85 feet more before coming to a stop, dragging Jennings' bicycle the whole way.
Forystek, who had been riding behind Jennings, ran to his friend, cradled Sarge's head in his lap, and offered him his hand. "The grip was incredible. I thought he was going to break my hand," Forystek says. "And at the same time he was gripping, his head was just blowing up like a
balloon. I knew there was nothing I could do."
A paramedic appeared, and Forystek left Jennings and ran to Sanders' car. "I remember telling him: It wasn't your fault," Forystek says.
In that moment, it seemed clear. Looking back, it gets murky. "Sarge pretty much did run into the car," Forystek says. "But the way I seen it, [Sanders] should've been able to stop, either before or instantly afterward."
Toxicology tests showed Sanders had trace amounts of alcohol, cocaine and
cannabis in his system. A records check shows that he also had a prior DUI
conviction, in 1996, and had three times faced charges of illegally
transporting alcohol, all of which had been dismissed. Under Illinois law, none
of those prior charges could be mentioned at Sanders' trial for the DUI charges resulting from his collision with Jennings.
Henson wrote a letter to the probation department briefly describing Jennings and the day his life ended. "I can't help but believe that had the driver [Sanders] reacted the way an unimpaired driver would have, this would not have ended in such a tragedy. I can only hope that he's no longer driving," she wrote.
But then, on June 15, on the front page of the daily newspaper, Henson saw Sanders' name again. It was mentioned in a correction — he had been arrested for another DUI, after colliding at a stop sign with Darvin Green.
"This is not something I'll ever get over, but it was getting to the point where I didn't think about it every day," Henson says. "Then I read this article and it just brought it all back. I was just enraged
that he's still out driving around. It's horrible."
Last week, Henson was in the courtroom for Sanders' preliminary hearing. As he wheeled across the courtroom, in his striped jail togs, he smiled at Dan Fultz, the attorney who had represented him in his last trial. Henson sat quietly, but I noticed her eyes water and her toes fidget nervously in her sandals. "I was trying not to be emotional," she says.
After Sanders' brief appearance, in which he entered a plea of not guilty, Henson and another one of Jennings' friends tracked down the prosecutor to voice their concerns. "Everybody in our office knows about Sanders," the attorney told them. His trial is set for July 27.
That's not the last layer of gray, however. Almost two decades ago, Sanders was the victim of a drunk driver. Donald Feagans had a car full of family members when he ran a stop sign and was hit by Sanders and his wife. News accounts of the incident don't specify who was driving the Sanders' car, but Feagans' 5-year-old son Joseph, seated on his mother's lap in the front seat, died of injuries sustained in the crash. Feagans pleaded guilty to DUI; it was his third, and he served two years in prison for it. In 2001, he pleaded guilty to a fourth DUI, and was sentenced to six years in prison.

So, I have been re-brushing my common lisp, and have been wanting to write some AWS api code in the process. Common Lisp has the aws-sign4 package that can be used to sign requests for their API.
The problem I am having is with a closure. aws-sign4 example code fails with the error message "Please bind *aws-credentials* to a function." It is initiated as nil, and the macro in the example is supposedly re-assigining the variable as a function, but it fails (and checking the output, *aws-credentials* is still nil).
https://github.com/copyleft/aws-sign4/b ... ample.lisp
This code, is what I wrote on my own, and is almost identical to what I think aws-sign4 is suppose to be doing. This code works, and the global *foo* variable gets assigned to a function using a macro: http://pastebin.com/ipzQHfj8
any insight as to what I am missing, and what helpful comments I might send to the maintainer of aws-sign4 to fix their example?
EDIT: I figured out the problem. It was a namespace conflict. I was not calling the example from the asdf system. I needed to either do that or change the variable in the macro to aws-sign4:*aws-credentials*

Re: Trying to understand a closure with unexpected output
It depends on the definition of *AWS-CREDENTIALS*. Was it defined as a DEFVAR or a DEFPARAMETER? If not, you should at least add a
after the LET that binds it and above the code that uses it.
Code: Select all
(declare (special *aws-credentials*))

1 in custody after fatal shooting in Independence
Shooting reported at 12:10 p.m. Saturday
A man was taken into custody after a fatal shooting in the 1900 block of South Norton Avenue Saturday afternoon, Independence police said.
The shooting was reported at 12:10 p.m.
Police said the victim, a woman in her 40s, was rushed to a hospital, but later died.
Investigators said additional information about the shooting won't be released until Monday. But neighbors said the victim was a woman who lived at the home and police arrested her boyfriend of about 10 years.
Neighbor Sylvia Taylor said she heard a commotion and was about to go next door to see what was going on. She said she came outside just as police arrived.
"They all had their guns out and one had an assault rifle out and they all went up on the porch kind of like that, but then (the man) came out and he pretty much gave up. He didn't cause any problems. He didn't have a gun with him or anything like that," Taylor said.
Neighbors said the couple had recently been told they would have to move out of their house at the end of this week.

Earlier this year, Nokia, the biggest phone manufacturer in the world decided to join forces with Microsoft to create their next lineup of smartphones. The decision surprised many as people thought that Nokia would play it safe and develop phones using both Windows Phone 7 and Android.
In the process, Nokia made their flagship OS Symbian a secondary in the company and Android as a competitor. However, this news might come as a big surprise to many people.
According to research done by Libre Software Research (via Carlodaffara), Nokia is the biggest contributor to Android source code after Google and some other independent committers. In fact Nokia has more commits in the codebase than Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Intel.
Having a look at the name of the domains, it is very surprising that Nokia is one of the most active contributors. This is a real paradox, the company that states that Android is its main competition helps it!. One of the effects of using libre software licenses for your work is that even your competition can use your code, currently there are Nokia commits in the following repositories:
- git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/external/dbus
- git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/external/bluetooth/bluez
The research shows that 90% of the commits to Android codebase was done by Google employees using email addresses ending with google.com or android.com, while users with a nokia.com email address had more than 762 commits.
Apparently Nokia was the one who funded the dbus; a message bus system for applications to talk to each other and bluez; the official Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux which were later on taken up by Google for Android.
This is definitely an irony that Nokia contributes so much to a system it calls it's competition. However, that is how the Open Source community works, no bias, just code.
Note: The research conducted by Libre Software took 171 GIT repositories into consideration and did not include the Linux Kernel in it's analysis.

MONTREAL — Marc Bergevin is a genius. In case you had any doubts on that point, sportswriters working in both French and English hit upon the same lead after Michael Ryder's star turn against Winnipeg last week.
All Bergevin needs to put himself in the same category as Albert Einstein is a head of bushy hair and a drooping moustache.
Who are we to argue? Bergevin seems to do no wrong. He has done three years work in the span of a few months, handled the tricky P.K. Subban situation with aplomb, drafted the most talented player in the 2012 draft in young Alex Galchenyuk and pulled off the trade of the year by prying Michael Ryder out of Dallas in exchange for the moribund Erik Cole.
But Bergevin's most brilliant stroke may have been the one that drew the most fire at the time: the decision to recycle Michel Therrien as his coach. Today, with 10 games to play, the Canadiens still atop the division and threatening to win the Eastern Conference as legitimate contenders for Lord Stanley's Cup, Therrien is one of the leading candidates for the Jack Adams trophy as the NHL's best coach.
It's a tough year in that category: there will be a sentimental outpouring for Paul MacLean, who kept the Senators afloat despite losing three all-star players in Jason Spezza, Craig Anderson and Erik Karlsson. Bruce Boudreau has pulled off a remarkable turnaround in Anaheim and had the Ducks tied with the Canadiens at 55 points going into Sunday night's tilt against the rival Kings, Dan Bylsma has corrected the Penguins defensive deficiencies while dealing with a rash of injuries to his superstars, and Joel Quenneville has another powerhouse rolling in Chicago.
But what Therrien has accomplished is theoretically impossible: He transformed a 28th-place team into one of the league's best with only a week of training camp to make it happen. All the other Jack Adams candidates were in place through at least part of last season, while Therrien was working part-time in the broadcast world, waiting for another chance.
That broadcast career might have derailed his second stint with the Canadiens. One of the questions in the wake of Therrien's hiring was how he would fare with Subban. As a regular guest on the Fired Coaches Carousel on RDS, Therrien had been one of Subban's more vocal critics — and the talented young defenceman was coming off a season during which he had frequently clashed with his coaches, especially Randy Cunneyworth and Randy Ladouceur.
The situation became even trickier when Subban was unsigned as the short season began. He and Therrien wouldn't have even the short training camp to get to know each other and for Subban to learn Therrien's system. To top it all off, there were rumours that Subban did not get along with his teammates.
But after Subban signed, Therrien had a chat with him and made it clear what was expected. Therrien's message was probably not all that different from what Cunneyworth had been telling Subban — and Jacques Martin before that. He wanted P.K. to keep his game simple and to be responsible with his puck management.
Therrien got through. Subban responded brilliantly, to the point where he is now arguably the leading candidate for the Norris Trophy. He picked up two more assists against the Bruins on Saturday night, increasing his scoring lead among all defencemen. He also leads in power-play points with 21 (one ahead of teammate Andrei Markov.)
But the stat that is most certain to gladden Therrien's heart is the one that says Subban is a plus-13 on the season. There are a number of defencemen having good campaigns, including Kris Letang, Ryan Suter, Nik Kronwall, Slava Voynov, François Beauchemin and Sergei Gonchar (who has done a terrific job filling in for the injured Erik Karlsson in Ottawa), but no one on the list is doing quite so many things as well as Subban.
Therrien's stellar work with Subban aside, he has also done a masterful job throughout the lineup in giving his players, as he put it after that narrow 2-1 win over the Bruins on Saturday night, the best possible chance to succeed. He has given Brendan Gallagher more and more ice time as one of the strongest Calder Trophy candidates has dazzled with his speed, determination and drive to the net.
He has held Alex Galchenyuk around 10 minutes a game, easing him into the rigours of a National Hockey League schedule. (There was a great moment in the room Saturday when Bob Cole walked up to tell Galchenyuk how much he enjoyed watching the kid play. It wasn't clear whether Galchenyuk even knew who Cole was — but it was evident that the youngster has impressed the entire hockey world.)
Therrien has handled veteran additions like Ryder and Jeff Halpern in the same way, putting them in situations where they can thrive. In a tough spot after losing hard-hitting Alex Emelin on Saturday, Therrien went to Davis Drewiske, playing the trade-deadline pickup a total of 23:50 (seven seconds more than Markov) as the Canadiens held the explosive Bruins to a single goal.
In a sense, it's unfair to say that Bergevin recycled Therrien. Therrien recycled himself. He's a different man and a different coach today, a far cry from the rough-hewed specimen once noted for the mustard on his tie and manners that were more suited to the "Q" than the NHL. Therrien today is a dapper, urbane, experienced head coach, as adept at handling the media as he is behind the bench.
The team Therrien has put on the ice isn't simply a contender. These Canadiens are fun, more than any edition of the Habs I can recall since the dynasty of the 1970s. They may have precious few Flying Frenchmen on the roster, but they play the swift-skating, roadrunner style of the glory days and they play it well — so well that the Bruins through the first two periods Saturday night looked like a bunch of lumbering dinosaurs trying to catch the shifty, speedy, now-you-see-'em, now-you-don't Canadiens.
No one knows how this magical ride will end. Therrien himself said Saturday night that this team is less "timid" and more confident than it was two months ago, but that you never want to be satisfied and that you can always get better.
He might not have the all-star roster of the Penguins, Bruins, Blackhawks or Ducks at his command, but Michel Therrien has taken a nondescript organization in a state of chaos and transformed it into an all-star team. For that feat, in my humble opinion, he deserves the Jack Adams.
And if he picks up a Stanley Cup ring to go with it, who are we to complain?

The Misty Mermaid (ポケモン!すいちゅうのたたかい! Cerulean Gym! Battling in Water!) is the 61st episode of Pokémon: Indigo League.
Seeing Horsea weaker than usual, Misty decides to go to Cerulean City. When she leaves the Horsea, her sisters persuade her to act in their show, a ballet underwater. During the show, Team Rocket appear, for their attempt to take all the Water Pokémon in the aquarium. Ash and Brock intervene, though Jessie's Arbok puts the Water Pokémon in danger. The Seel appears and attempts to fight back Arbok and results in an unexpected evolution.
Episode plot
Whilst on their way back to Viridian City for Ash's 8th Gym Badge at the gym there, Misty realizes that her Horsea is feeling unwell. Brock presumes that Horsea is dejected because it doesn't get to swim around as much as it would like to. Misty brightens up when she remembers that the Cerulean Gym has a swimming pool, and the gang decides to take a brief detour. As they arrive at the entrance to the Gym, Pikachu points out a poster advertising an "Underwater Ballet". Misty reconciles with her sisters, and proceeds to take Horsea to the swimming pool. Horsea is ecstatic that it can swim around freely, as Misty's sisters inform her that they are participating in the Underwater Ballet.
Brock and Ash ask who the famous ballerina is, to which they point at Misty. Misty herself is shocked at this revelation, to which her sisters reveal that their show became unpopular over time. They explain that they completely remodelled their ballerina act to be underwater, and that Misty's call coincided with their completion of the show. Her sisters believe it to be fate that Misty arrived here on the day before the performance. Although she initially refuses, Misty is coaxed into agreeing by her pleading sisters once they reveal that they open with the first performance tomorrow. They re-enact one of the scenes from the performance, as Team Rocket arrives at the Cerulean Gym, eagerly awaiting the play. As the audience members flock into their seats, Daisy is glad they tricked Misty into becoming the lead character.
Misty is daunted by the sheer number of people in the audience, but remains confident that she can perform her role. Her sisters commence the performance, unveiling a huge glass aquarium in the center of the stadium. Misty dives off into the pool, and begins swimming gracefully alongside the Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters, Lily and Violet, complain that Misty has gotten a better role than them as the mermaid, as Team Rocket assumes their roles as the villains. When Team Rocket reveals themselves to the audience, Brock and Ash instantly recognize them. Jessie and James approach Misty, reciting their motto. To their surprise, the audience applauds Team Rocket, as they attempt to make off with the Water Pokémon. Meowth detonates the roof, as their signature balloon floats into the stadium.
Jessie and James capture the Water Pokémon in nets, as Misty attempts to stop them. Brock, Ash, and Pikachu jump into the pool, as Daisy finds Lily and Violet, who were trapped by Team Rocket in a locker, bound and gagged. Jessie's Arbok fights against Misty's Horsea and Seaking, as James' Weezing is released, but floats to the surface as it cannot swim. Misty's sisters release their Psyduck, which also cannot swim, much to the crowd's amusement. Ash uses his Squirtle to attack Arbok, followed by attacks from Misty's Starmie and Seaking. However, Arbok recovers and chases them around the pool. Before it can finish them off, Seel appears to protect them and begins circling around Arbok. Seel uses Headbutt several times on Arbok, the finishing off with Aurora Beam.
Misty's sisters' Seel then evolves into a Dewgong, which proceeds to easily defeat Arbok with a swish of its tail. Arbok crashes into Jessie and James, and is subsequently frozen by Dewgong's Ice Beam attack. After Pikachu electrifies the pool, Team Rocket are sent blasting off again while at the same time, being sent flying by Dewgong's tail. The audience applauds the finale of the performance, as Misty's sisters exclaim that their performances have been booked out for the next 6 months. Misty leaves her Horsea and Starmie at the Cerulean Gym, in order to perform in the act. As Ash and his friends leave Cerulean City, he commends Misty upon her great performance, to which she tells him to stop flattering her and that he still owes her a bike.
- "Nobody's better at stealing Water Pokémon than us!" - Jessie
- "And next time we'll steal men's clothes!" - James
- Who's That Pokémon?: Horsea (JA), Clefairy (EN)
- Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture: Magikarp
- This is the first episode of the series to feature this segment.
- The episode title is a reference to the Hans Christian Andersen's fairy-tale story and Disney film, The Little Mermaid.
- "A Starmie is born" is a joke on a star is born.
- During the rehearsal, after Brock says he likes the part with the handsome prince, Ash adds "I like the Seel" to which Misty, embarrassingly replies "You would". Ash is referreing to when Misty was hypnotized to act like a Seel in the episode "Hypno's Naptime."
- Despite her legs being enclosed in a mermaid tail, Misty is somehow able to get to the end of the diving board during her introduction scene.
- Jessie orders Arbok to use Poison Sting, but Arbok tries to scare Seaking, Starmie and Squirtle by unleashing its Bite attack to chase them before Misty's sisters' Seel defends it.

Intel Corporation
Software developers face a number of challenges when creating applications that attempt to keep important data confidential. Even diligent use of correct software design and implementation practices, can allow secrets to be exposed through a single flaw in any of the privileged code on the platform, code which may have been written by thousands of developers from hundreds of organizations throughout the world. Intel is developing innovative security technology that allows software developers control of the security of sensitive code and data by creating trusted domains within applications to protect critical information during execution and at rest. This paper will show how protection of private information, including enterprise rights management, video chat, trusted financial transactions, among others, has been demonstrated using this technology. Examples will include both protection of local processing and the establishment of secure communication with cloud services. It will illustrate useful software design patterns that can be followed to create many additional types of trusted software solutions.
Digital devices are integral to the lives of millions of people today. Applications on these devices are used for everything from sharing pictures with family and friends, to working with top secret enterprise intellectual property, with hundreds of new applications and cloud services becoming available every day.
As a result, applications are responsible for protecting increasing amounts of sensitive information including financial account data, passwords, personal calendars, medical information, as well as confidential enterprise data, etc.. Recognizing their responsibility to ensure that private data is only used as intended, application developers are becoming increasingly security conscious. Secure development practices are standardized in many organizations and security testing is often a key part of software validation cycles. But even so, protection of critical data depends upon the correctness of a significant amount of software on the platform which has been written by others and which grants privileges to look into an application's data space. Application developers must also trust the users of client platforms and system administrators of cloud service platforms to follow security best practices that keep application-managed data safe from malicious software.
Anti-virus products play a critical role in limiting opportunities for the introduction of malware, but history shows that users will continue to browse, download interesting applications, and fail to follow security best practices when these practices become inconvenient. As a result, users fall victim to bad actors and put not only their personal information at risk, but potentially critical enterprise intellectual property as well.
There is a clear need for technological solutions that will help software developers ensure that even naïve users, with little understanding of digital security threats, can safely manage their personal, financial, and enterprise IP without encumbering their user experience, or limiting their personal control. This need is exhibited across hundreds of applications that manage important information, with more created every day.
The paper Innovative Instructions and Software Model for Isolated Execution [1] provides a description of Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX), a new set of CPU instructions that give application and service providers a safe place to stand when managing the use of the data they consume and collect. Sensitive data is protected within applications even when the platforms on which they run are infected with more privileged malicious software or if the platform falls into the physical control of a person wishing to gain unauthorized access to the data.
The remainder of this paper provides a review of the programming model for SGX. It describes the design steps taken by developers wishing to take advantage of these instructions, and then reviews three example secure solutions that have been developed to take advantage of these new instructions.
In this review of SGX and its programming model, we use the following terminology:
Using SGX, an application can start the enclave creation process by executing the following sequence of instructions:
Once the enclave has been created and initialized with EINIT, attempted accesses to the enclave's memory from unauthorized software, even software such as virtual machine monitors, BIOS, or operating system functions operating at a higher privilege level, are prevented.
From a physical point of view, while enclave data is resident within registers, caches, or other logic blocks inside the processor package, unauthorized access via software is prevented by CPU logic. Whenever enclave data leaves the on-package caches to be written to platform memory, the data is automatically encrypted and integrity protected. This prevents malicious individuals from using memory probes or other techniques to view, modify, or replay data or code contained within the enclave.
As each page of data is loaded into the enclave, using the EADD and EEXTEND instructions, internal data structures within the CPU are updated to include cryptographic measurements of the code and data added to the enclave. The ability of a remote party to verify that enclave measurements and platform settings are configured as expected is referred to as attestation. SGX uses two related credentials for attestation: reports and quotes. A report is used to verify the correctness of enclaves on the local platform, and a quote can be used to reflect platform and enclave state to entities outside of the platform. Once the attestation has been successfully completed, a trusted channel can be established between a server and the enclave enabling secrets to be securely transmitted. More details regarding attestation are discussed in [2].
Using the software model described in the overview, a number of interesting trustworthy applications can be created through the use of the SGX technology. Each of the applications described in the remainder of this document have been successfully built and executed on a prototype hardware implementation of the SGX technology. Design and prototyping of the Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) and Secure Video Conferencing (SVC) applications in particular were sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security and the United States Air Force Academy.i
A simple application that can be created with SGX is a generator of one-time passwords.
3.1.1 Overview
OTP is an authentication technology often used as a second factor to authenticate a user. As suggested by the name, the password is valid only for one authentication and is often used to authorize online financial transactions.
One example of a one-time password solution is RSA SecurID®. With this solution, a pre-shared key is established between a server component and a hardware token, the RSA SecurID® Hardware Authenticator, which can be in the form of a keychain or a credit card. Periodically an algorithm is used to cryptographically combine the pre-shared key and the time to produce a code which becomes the one-time password.
When logging into a service that uses a one-time password, in addition to the traditional username and password, a user will also enter the code that is displayed on the token (computed from the pre-shared key and the time). In more advanced services the user may need to use a keypad on the token to enter a value generated by the server and displayed on the login page (challenge-response) to prevent phishing attacks. When verifying the user's identity, the server component can also generate a code given the pre-shared key, the time, and an optional challenge code.
3.1.2 Design Goals
For such a one-time password solution to work, hardware tokens must be created and distributed to users, resulting in increased cost for organizations that wish to deploy such a solution. Software versions of one-time password solutions exist. However, depending upon the value of the service or transaction being protected, the solution may be too vulnerable to malware targeted at the solution.
It would be desirable then to create a software-based onetime password solution which utilizes the SGX technology to prevent attacks from malware. A prototype was developed to evaluate such a solution.
3.1.3 Secure One-time Password Architecture
Like the hardware token based solution, there are two primary components to the architecture: the OTP server and the OTP client. In the case of the prototype developed for this work, the OTP client side component was implemented as a browser plugin, but it could be instantiated in a number of different ways as well, including a stand-alone application or a background service. Within the OTP client software, the algorithms that interact directly with the OTP secrets were placed in an enclave. Figure 1 shows the overall architecture.
An example set of steps for installing the OTP plugin on the client device and generating a shared key is described below:
Once the pre-shared key has been established between the OTP enclave and the OTP server, secure solutions can now use the SGX enabled OTP as a second authentication factor following the set of steps below:
3.1.4 Results
The OTP prototype described here prevents malicious software from gaining access to the OTP pre-shared key, including targeted attacks from malicious software with higher privilege. This results in higher confidence that the authenticating service is indeed communicating with a platform that was provisioned by an authorized user.
To better ensure that the web service is indeed communicating with a human user, additional techniques could be used. Instead of sending the challenge directly to the OTP enclave, the remote service could generate a bitmap containing a visual representation of the challenge code, and encrypt this before sending to the OTP enclave. The combination of the OTP enclave and the OTP plugin could use Intel's Protected Audio Video Path (PAVP) technology [3] to securely render the bitmap to the screen in a way that cannot be observed by software. The user would then enter the challenge code when prompted by the OTP plugin, thereby ensuring that a person is requesting the transaction from an authorized system.
To harden the solution even further, a trusted input path could be established between an input device and Intel's Manageability Engine (ME), part of the Intel® Active Management Technology [4]. The ME could then establish a secure channel to the OTP enclave, ensuring that no software could observe the input entry. This solution could use a PIN known only to the user, and cryptographically combined with the pre-shared key, time, and challenge to compute the one-time password.
3.2.1 Overview
Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) is a technology that aims to secure crucial elements of access and distribution of sensitive documents, such as confidentiality, access control, usage policies, and logging of user activities. While most existing solutions focus on the protection of enterprise data, the need to enforce the authorized use and dissemination of personal content such as pictures and videos is becoming increasingly apparent. The same technologies could be used for this purpose as well.
ERM protected applications typically run on off-the-shelf client platforms and operating systems. Malware, including viruses and rootkits, could compromise the ability of an ERM application to protect its secrets and enforce its policies, potentially resulting in the transparent loss of digital assets which may remain undetected for a significant amount of time. One example of such an attack is operation Aurora which affected many large corporations [5]. Current solutions, which attempt to protect ERM assets using encryption and access control mechanisms, are vulnerable to several attacks. For example, malware might steal document content and/or encryption keys from application memory where it is processed; copy display content from video frame buffers; or violate use policy (e.g., alter time on the client machine to extend an expired document lease). In a more advanced attack, if an attacker has physical possession of a platform, he may be able to use memory snooping or cold boot style attacks [6] to acquire the keying material for a valid ERM solution. This would permit the attacker to create malware which could use those stolen keys to effectively impersonate a valid ERM client. Finally, an authorized consumer of enterprise data may, in rare circumstances, wish to maliciously copy large amounts of sensitive digital information, and could directly modify the ERM solution to avoid logging and other forms of detection. In the following sections, we describe an SGX technology-based ERM architecture, focused on document distribution, access control and viewing, that addresses these critical vulnerabilities found in today's systems.
3.2.2 Design Goals
The key design goals of our ERM architecture were to protect the system against the following threats:
We focus on protecting the client in the ERM system, since client applications tend to run on platforms that may not have the same degree of control and security as enterprise servers. However, the techniques described here can also be extended to protecting resources on ERM servers.
Figure 2: Key Components of Client-Server ERM Architecture
3.2.3 Secure ERM Architecture
In this section, we describe the key components of our client-server ERM architecture (see Figure 2). The trusted parts of the client, which are hosted inside of an SGX protected enclave, are responsible for operating on the assets of the application that need protection. In the discussion that follows, we describe the key components of our architecture and how they operate to provide the level of security needed for various use cases in the ERM domain.
The client authentication and session management module authenticates the client platform and user to its counterpart in the ERM server. Using SGX attestation capabilities, this module generates a verifiable report of the client's identity that is bound to the platform by the CPU. The report also includes information about the user running the ERM session. The server verifies the report to ensure that it is communicating with an SGX-enabled machine and validates (using a directory service such as Active Directory) that the user is part of an organizational domain that is authorized to access the ERM system on the specified platform. The client and server engage in a one-time provisioning protocol that results in application secrets being securely sealed to the client platform, using SGX's sealing capabilities. These secrets, which can only be unsealed by the application that sealed it, are used to establish secure sessions with the server in the future, without the need for constantly proving the identity of the client platform.
In our architecture, document use policy and encryption keys are stored in the ERM database on the server. The document owner specifies use policy and access control using the policy engine that runs inside the enclave.
The policy is then uploaded to the ERM database through the secure communication channel between the client and server. The protected document is encrypted within the enclave with a randomly generated key which is stored on the server, and later distributed to authorized Intel® SGX protected document viewers. The encrypted documents themselves need not be stored in the server database and can be disseminated to intended recipients by various means (document repositories, email etc.).
An authorized user, upon receipt of an encrypted document, can view it using the secure document reader component of the client application, running inside an enclave. The policy engine, after validating that the use policy (downloaded securely from the server into the enclave) of the document is compatible with the user operation (e.g., viewing), also gets the document decryption key and transfers control to the document reader component. The reader decrypts the document inside the enclave, parses the content and generates page bitmaps for rendering on the display device. Since the path between application memory and the video frame buffer that holds the bitmap before rendering is insecure, we use PAVP technology to encrypt bitmaps using a symmetric key shared with the GPU on the platform. The encrypted bitmaps are transferred to the graphics hardware for rendering via standard graphics drivers. Finally, the secure activity logger, also running inside the enclave, records every user activity related to document viewing and transmits it to the server where it is stored. This capability enables features such as auditing of document access and nonrepudiation of user actions.
The untrusted part of the application, consisting of the GUI and libraries used to avail of kernel services (e.g., file I/O, thread management etc.), interface with the trusted part through welldefined entry-points. The interface was designed to ensure that no secrets from the trusted part are allowed to leak out to the untrusted part, and the hardware/software protections of SGX ensure that the secrecy and integrity of the data and code inside the enclave-resident trusted part is maintained at all times.
The ERM server, which we assume to be secure in this work, consists of the authentication and session management module, a directory service for maintaining user and platform information, and the database that stores information about whitelisted client platforms; client-server session state; document policies and keys; and user activity logs. All communication between the server and authenticated clients is encrypted and also offers integrity and replay protection to provide end-to-end security for various use cases.
3.2.4 Implementation and Validation
We implemented a prototype ERM solution, starting with an open source software library (MuPDF) for document viewing and rendering, and adding modules for provisioning, authentication and session management, policy enforcement, activity logging and secure display for the client; the ERM server was completely implemented from scratch. We implemented several attack scenarios such as key stealing, policy modification, video frame buffer scraping, and spoofing of application identity to attack the provisioning protocol. Our experiments showed how SGX technology enabled the application to withstand these attacks and satisfy all its security objectives. The prototype successfully passed two rounds of penetration testing by security experts in the enterprise and government sectors.
We learned several lessons from our experience in building the ERM application using SGX technology. Since we started with existing open source software in our implementation, we gained insight into performing a security analysis of the application's assets. This led to a refactoring of the application to fit the untrusted/trusted partition that was required for SGX enabling. Our work influenced the validation and enhancement of the libraries and tools that facilitate SGX application development. By carefully designing various modules, we were able to develop several reusable security modules (provisioning, authentication and session management) that were subsequently used by other projects.
In Figure 3 below, we show a high level view of the Secure Video Chat application which contains two SVC clients and a server that are protected using SGX technology. The figure illustrates the trusted components that are hosted inside the enclave and the trusted channel between the SVC enclave and I/O devices (e.g. camera, microphone, speaker and display).
We will now examine how the security of a video conferencing application can be hardened using SGX technology. With the widespread availability of high network bandwidth and inexpensive hardware for capturing video and audio on client platforms, use of video chat, video conferencing and web conferencing applications has become increasingly popular for real time information sharing. This creates an opportunity for the unauthorized capture and distribution of a video conferencing stream by malicious individuals, or theft of valuable IP or sensitive information in enterprise and government sectors. An unauthorized entity or malware can intercept and steal the Audio/Video (AV) stream during a video conferencing session. Today's secure video conferencing solutions provide strong protection of sensitive content on the network through the use of cryptographic methods. But with the migration of threats from the network onto the computing platform, this level of security is no longer sufficient to protect the AV stream as it is being processed on the computing device. SGX allows a video conferencing application to protect its assets on the platform and enables strong participant authentication, thus mitigating a broad range of threats that could compromise the secrecy and integrity of the AV stream. Further, if the platforms contain input and output (I/O) devices that present a strong identity and have processing capability, a secure channel can be created between the VoIP enclave and the I/O device. Thus we can protect the AV input and output against an attack that compromises the integrity of the I/O stack in order to steal the input from the camera and microphone or the output to speaker and display devices.
3.3.1 Threat Model for Video Conferencing
To understand the protection of a video conferencing application using SGX, let us consider a two person Secure Video Chat (SVC) application. The users first establish a call session using a call initiation protocol such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), after which the locally captured AV streams are transmitted using a transport protocol such as Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP). In a secure video chat, participant authentication occurs prior to session setup with the help of a SVC server that checks the identity of the participants. The AV streams are encrypted for secure transmission using a protocol such as Secure Real Time Transport Protocol (SRTP). The limitation of such a secure video chat is that it is vulnerable to attacks such as the following:
3.3.2 Secure Video Conferencing Architecture
In our lab experiment, we modified an open source video conferencing application to use SGX and created a significantly hardened video chat application. To develop the security architecture, we first identified the adversaries and the threat model for the video chat usage, and created a list of assets that needed protection from the malware. We then analyzed an existing video conferencing stack, and studied its operation to understand the flow of control and secure assets. This enabled us to modify the design of the stack with well-defined trusted and untrusted components. The trusted components contained code and data requiring confidentiality and/or integrity protection such as SRTP keys, media streams, cryptographic operations, policy enforcement logic etc. The untrusted components contained code and data for interfacing with operating system services and drivers. Since the OS components only handled content that was encrypted, they were not required to be in the trusted part of the application. The trusted components could be protected inside one or more enclaves, though in our implementation we used a single enclave to host all sensitive code and data. Using multiple enclaves offers increased isolation amongst the trusted components, especially if the components are developed by multiple ISVs. The elements inside SVC's trusted partition are:
Figure 3: Secure Video Chat Application Structure
3.3.3 Results
We were successful in taking an open source video conferencing stack and repartitioning it to use SGX and PAVP to create a video chat application that had significantly increased protection over currently available solutions. We conducted several security penetration tests, where the SGX-enabled application successfully withstood all tested high-privilege malware attacks. In our experiment, we protected the audio and video output as well, through integration of SGX and PAVP technologies, which protects against attacks such as video buffer scraping. Our work demonstrated how we could create secure channels between SGX and trusted I/O devices to protect against attacks that target the I/O stack.
The SVC architecture is applicable to VoIP applications such as multi-party video conferencing, phone (audio) calls, Instant Messaging (IM), texting, whiteboarding and web conferencing. Software developers can map our design to their existing implementations for creating SGX-hardened solutions.
While we have shown how SGX can be used to mitigate many types of attacks attempting to acquire confidential information during runtime and at rest, there are many additional opportunities.
Many security applications such as ERM and SVC rely on the security of backend components that include one or more servers. These servers perform, at a minimum, authentication and distribution of initial secrets and could be involved in other secure transactions such as information distribution policy, storage of audit logs, etc. In our current work, we focused on client security for various usages; however, future work is intended to focus on the use of SGX for server security. This includes interaction with various types of virtualization technologies, workload migration between servers, and secure cloud server provisioning techniques.
All three of the use cases discussed in this paper would benefit from improved security when transferring data from local input devices to enclaves on the CPU. This includes input from keyboards, touch screens, microphone, cameras, and others. Future work will focus both on how individual input elements can be extended in order to establish secure paths, as well as opportunities to add secure input aggregation points to the platform. This would continue to allow for low-cost input devices while still maintaining control of confidential information processing.
In creating the prototypes described in this paper, a robust prototype SDK and set of development tools were used to automatically generate the code required to seamlessly transition between traditional untrusted application code, and SGX protected enclaves. Additional enhancements would also be beneficial, including the ability to see visual representations of data flows into and out of enclaves to help ensure that the appropriate data is being protected, without accidentally passing sensitive information out of the enclaves. Additional programming language extensions may also make the development of secure software easier.
Future work will evaluate how various enhancements to development tools affect the secure software creation process when utilizing SGX.
Several other technologies also serve to protect critical code and data. This section reviews these technologies and describes their relation to SGX.
One related set of technologies include managed runtime environments such as Oracle™ Java and Microsoft™ .NET. A managed runtime environment (MRTE) can enforce security policies pertaining to the managed code, and protect the integrity and confidentiality of any code within the managed environment. However, the MRTE must still trust any code with higher privileges to protect its data. An MRTE can be used effectively with SGX, allowing managed code to interact with trusted services implemented in enclaves, or even potentially hosting the entire MRTE itself within an enclave, but the MRTE alone cannot provide the same confidentiality and integrity benefits.
Another software technique for protecting secrets is utilizing tamper resistant software (TRS) [7]. TRS is a set of techniques which serve to make it difficult to understand and to change the logic flow of critical regions of software, and in many cases help the software keep key secrets safe from observation by unauthorized code. TRS techniques are quite complex for developers to use and are constantly subjected to reverseengineering by motivated attackers. TRS generally also suffers from significant performance degradation. SGX solves many of the problems that necessitated the creation of TRS, while making reverse engineering of the protection technique ineffective and allowing developers to create trusted code modules using familiar tools and processes.
Another scheme employed to create a more trusted environment is the use of microkernels. A microkernel reduces the total amount of code that executes with the highest privilege and unfettered access to all application code and data. This, in principle, can greatly reduce the attack surface. SGX can achieve the same or better reduction in attack surface, without requiring specific system architecture for the operating system, and can be used in conjunction with microkernels as well.
Type 1 Virtual Machine Monitors can be used to create an application hosting environment in an isolated virtual machine (VM). For example, a secure VM could be created for financial transactions, hosting an operating system which is separated from the general purpose OS used for other activities. Isolation from the general purpose operating system is certainly beneficial but there are still significant challenges for an application that wishes to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of its data. The application must still trust the operating system and the VMM, as well as the BIOS etc. This is a significant amount of code that was most likely not written by the application developer.
A challenge to all software approaches is to be certain that privileged software is trustworthy, For example, it is possible to host one trustworthy microkernel or VMM inside of another VM. To solve this problem, Trusted Platform Modules were introduced. When used properly, the TPM can give a reliable measurement of all of the software components in the stack below the application via local or remote attestation. With TPMs, normally the entire state of the platform is measured.
Improving upon the TPM, technologies such as the Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) have been created to allow the platform state to be reset and measured at a particular instant in time, providing a dynamic root of trust measurement, rather than relying software to take action based on measurements that were recorded at some earlier point. This reset-then-measure process allows a system to have a smaller trusted computing base (TCB).
While TXT can limit the amount of platform infrastructure code that needs to be measured, its typical use still includes a full featured VMM and/or operating system as part of an application's trust boundary. The application developer may need to trust a significant amount of external code.
Recognizing the challenges presented by the need to trust a full operating system, CMU's Flicker [8] loads a simple hosting environment, reported to be as little as 250 lines of code that executed with the primary operating system suspended. With Flicker, an application could execute its untrusted functions in the primary operating system and move its trusted functions to the Flicker environment.
The Flicker approach has a few challenges. Firstly, Flicker code runs with a very high privilege level (that of a VMM), so other applications and the primary OS must intrinsically trust this code. Secondly, in order to support long running trusted code, Flicker infrastructure becomes a new type of scheduler, responsible for scheduling the primary operating system and the trusted applets. Thirdly, Flicker has performance issues related to transitioning into and out of trusted code, in part due to communication with the TPM and also the inability to execute untrusted code on some cores while trusted code is executing on others. Finally, using TXT for Flicker makes it unavailable for its typical use: launching a trusted VMM after the platform has been configured. With SGX, trusted and untrusted functions can execute simultaneously on multiple cores. SGX does not require communication with the TPM, and does not interfere with the use of TXT for existing usages.
Overshadow [9] is another research approach to remove the operating system from the TCB of an application. Overshadow uses a virtualization layer to change the memory access semantics to protect applications running in a primary operating system. This approach also shares may design goals with SGX, but requires the application provider to trust the VMM implementation. It is also vulnerable to a hardware based attack, where an adversary with physical control of the platform could attain the encryption keys used by the VMM. SGX protects against many types of physical attacks.
Flicker and Overshadow share many security goals with SGX. One could imagine creating an application that takes advantage of a Flicker or Overshadow type approach on platforms without the SGX technology, and seamlessly makes use of SGX capabilities on platforms which contain the feature.
The authors of this paper wish to acknowledge the contributions of many people throughout Intel who dedicated countless hours to defining, refining, and implementing hardware and software prototypes of the SGX technology. We also wish to thank software developers from within Intel and partner companies who reviewed and helped refine the SGX software model. Finally we wish to recognize the support of the United States Department of Homeland Security and the United States Air Force Academy in the design and prototyping of the ERM and Secure Video Conferencing applications.i Intel is a trademark of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries.

The UNDCP/WHO Global Initiative on Primary Prevention of Substance Abuse was a collaborative project between the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC, formerly the United Nations International Drug Control Programme or UNDCP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It was fully funded by the Government of Norway.
Through the Global Initiative, we identified more than 100 organizations experienced in working at a community level for - and with - young people and that were interested in integrating substance abuse prevention into their work. We have done this in eight countries in three regions: South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia (Southern Africa); Belarus and Russia (Central and Eastern Europe); and the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam (South-east Asia).
These organizations became our local partners in the prevention of substance abuse among the young people of their communities. We provided these partners with training, financial and technical support. They assessed the substance abuse situation in their communities and, on this basis, developed and implemented prevention activities.
We wanted the experience of our local partners to be of use and inspiration to other organizations all over the world. Therefore, we developed good practices on prevention and have collated and analysed the experience of our local partners in the following three respects:
The Global Initiative underwent an external evaluation which assessed our effectiveness in mobilizing our local partners for substance abuse prevention.

... I ... what is at stake if we do not think healthcare costs ... the eighteen state is that a disproportionate developed everyone suffered goes to a result that is not commensurate with what we have to spend on it in and what we need to be able to do generally is to allow ... informed decision makers patients physicians care providers generally ... make ... rational decisions about what expenditures make sense for the furtherance of ... of their health in the provision of ongoing health problems ... but the fight being able to put the sport of information capacity and the right incentives in the hands of these decision makers weakened to a lot and I think many companies have ... experienced a tremendous ... own degree of success in getting people to modify their behavior in a way that makes them healthy who ... takes on greater responsibility for preventive care ... and yields a result of favorable for all the purchase price and so it gets really fundamentally what we're striving for ... the question of the degree to which the wall to get a feel for the headset is another matter if that's the ... that's the Holy Grail of this putting a slight insuring ... everyone who was the Number one drugstore for those ... anyone who is in short that's really what really ... I ... in twenty twelve United States and ... two point eight seven ... trillion dollars on health care ... and put that in some context for you ... that makes ... the American healthcare system the fifth largest economy in the world ... bigger than the French economy ... it is just ever an elite ... few ... and we go we're growing at GDP plus two percent for the last forty years ... if we don't do anything ... bike twenty forty ... one out of every three dollars is going to health care and nothing else and most of us don't think that's the best investment ... and we're not getting that much great health for ... were not number one in any category ... of ... health outcomes ... so we could improve our quality and by the way I don't think you should just be the cost of care because ... none of us wanted just cut the cost of your ... control the rate of growth ... without improving the quality of care and I would say that probably everyone here thinks the best way to control health care costs is actually to improve ... what we're doing in terms of health care ... aam and ... for mine ... you know perspective one of the main things were going to do overtime ... is ... the patients healthier ... and that can be a major way of controlling costs ... and that's good on the quality from ... the costs front ... and we have to do it ... for what ...

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake has announced that GK Nick Rimando has won his second consecutive MLS Save of the Year. Rimando took home the award for his amazing double save in a 2-2 draw at Colorado Rapids on Aug. 3 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Rimando made the incredible save in the 53rd minute when Colorado FW Jaime Castrillon got on the end of a set piece at the top-left corner of the six, flicking a header toward the far post that Rimando kept out with a diving save to his left. He quickly got to his feet and raced to the other side of the net to again parry away the ball, which had deflected off of RSL DF Nat Borchers and almost crossed the goal line following Rimando's initial save. CLICK HERE to watch Rimando's 2013 Save of the Year.
Rimando – who finished second to Portland GK Donovan Ricketts in MLS Goalkeeper of the Year voting – won the MLS Save of the Week award nine times in 2013. The 34-year-old 'keeper won 2012 MLS Save of the Year for an incredible reaction stop on then-Sporting Kansas City FW Kei Kamara.
Rimando and Real Salt Lake will take on Sporting Kansas City in MLS Cup 2013 on Saturday. MLS Cup 2013 will kick at 2:00 p.m. MT and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN and UniMas and locally on ESPN 700 AM.
The 2013 Save of the Year was determined by an online fan vote, after 64 initial nominations for the award were eventually narrowed to four finalists. The final poll results for the four finalists:
Nick Rimando (RSL) vs. COL, 8/3 29.94%
Jaime Penedo (LA) vs. VAN, 8/24 24.47%
Raul Fernandez (DAL) vs. LA, 7/7 22.3%
Donovan Ricketts (POR) vs. VAN, 10/6 23.28%

Assassinations …. It is a serious intent to penetrate one of their instruments, by which they have addressed the world .. which is an important tool that reflects the consciousness and the inner of the Israeli mentality, by means of word, image and characters.
The Festival comes in times they are building a Wall that hinder our movement and impede our geographical integration. We penetrate this awareness of concrete by studying the tools and methods of thinking that have been projected on cinema screens .. and open doors for investigation, studies and meditation.
The Festival is exposing various Israeli films that dealt with the Palestinian- Israeli conflict, through the projection of a number of films produced in different times that go parallel with the national struggle stages, since 1911 till 2002. It will also include discussion sessions and specialized symposiums in order to enrich the Festival by critics.
We would like to thank all who contributed in the success of this Festival, especially we would like to mention the Festival Committee Members:
Mr. George Khlaifi, Mr. Subhi Zobaidi, Mr. Khaled Farraj, Mr, Mustafa Shata and Ms. Najwa Mbarki. We also would like to thank the professors who contributed in the enrichment of this Festival by their symposiums.

Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.

An undisclosed injury has forced Nate Moore (6-2 MMA, 1-1 SF) out of his "Strikeforce: Houston" bout with Andre Galvao (4-1 MMA, 1-0 SF), and Brazilian veteran Jorge Patino (20-12-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed the switch with Strikeforce Director of Communications Mike Afromowitz.
The bout is set for the evening's preliminary card.
Featuring a pair of Strikeforce title fights, "Strikeforce: Houston" takes place Aug. 21 at Houston's Toyota Center.
A seven-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion, Galvao finalized a contract with Strikeforce early in 2009, but a prior commitment to fight in DREAM's welterweight grand prix kept the Brazilian from debuting for the promotion until March 2010.
Galvao earned a victory in his Strikeforce debut by edging out nine-time Strikeforce veteran Luke Stewart via split decision at Strikeforce Challengers 7.
Meanwhile, Patino makes his Strikeforce debut in his first fight since September 2009, when he dropped a unanimous decision to Roan Carneiro in a bout under the Shine Fights banner.
While "Macaco" is just 4-5 in his past five fights, Patino made his debut in 1995, and opened his career with nine straight victories. Patino fought once under the UFC banner and dropped a unanimous decision to current Strikeforce commentator Pat Miletich at UFC 18.
Patino also competed once for PRIDE in 2004 and lost a unanimous decision to Kazuo Misaki. Patino also defeated Strikeforce title challenger Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza via knockout in 2003.
A timetable for Moore's return wasn't immediately available.
For the latest on "Strikeforce: Houston," stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.
