Encryption naturally becomes a necessary means of protection. In certain situations, this is inadequate, as user may be coerced to hand over decryption keys or passwords of sensitive APP(Ali Pay) on mobile device. Therefore, only encryption cannot protect sensitive APP and privacy data stored on user's smartphone. To address these obstacles, we design a protection system called Mobi Gemini. It enables automatic uninstalling service that can immediately uninstall multiple APP at same time, and also enabling plausibly deniable encryption(PDE) on mobile devices by hiding encrypted volume within random data in free space of cache partition. We improve the key store way of previous PDE schemes on mobile device. The evaluation results show that the scheme introduces a few overhead compared with original android system enabling full disk encryption.展开更多

It holds high cultural value, represents the tangible continuation of the past and forms the unique character and identity of each mountain region. Yet, controversy regarding funding for its preservation often arises. In this paper, we used two Contingent Valuation surveys to estimate the socia benefit deriving from protecting the traditiona architecture in the mountainous village of Sirako and through it, to examine perceptions and attitudes o local residents and visitors. Research findings revealed a strong social will in favor of the good's protection followed by high percentages of positive willingness to pay(WTP). However, WTP is significantly higher among residents. Cultura heritage value, of the good, appears to prevail, along with the environmental one. However, both residents and visitors pointed out that local heritage, if wellpreserved, will boost tourism development. Residents appeared to better recognize the true level o architectural decay, expressed higher apprehension for its protection and were willing to pay higher amount of money. Tourists, on the other side expressed high satisfaction for their visit, appreciated the beauty and serenity emerging from local built and natural environment and spent several days visiting the surrounding area. The longer they stayed and gotfamiliar with the village, the more willing they were to contribute to local heritage's protection. Percentages reflecting indifference for protecting architecture were extremely low. Yet, they were higher among tourists. Traditional architecture is considered as public good; an opinion resulting in an important percentage of visitors stating that national government should provide the necessary funding. In addition, the architecture appears to hold a high level of topicality. Those descending from Sirako or emotionally connected to it, of both social groups,turned out to be more concerned about the good and with a stronger sense of responsibility for it. Usevalue of the good holds high economic value, as well,while higher percentages of zero WTP appeared among non-users. Research findings revealed social attitudes and perceptions on what constitutes architectural heritage, in its cultural and economic frame. If taken under consideration, they may form useful drivers for local, heritage-based, sustainable展开更多

Content analysis, a research technique for making valid inferences from text following a set of procedures, was used and applied to secondary data materials on 7G. The findings reveal that the environmental, organizational, and technological contexts, which are key elements of the TOE framework, are useful in analyzing and comprehending the business practices and business processes adopted by 7G to pursue its sustainability initiative. Of particular interest are those business processes that were included by 7G's EMS (Environment Management System) and enabled by green IS (Information Systems). Both the strengths and weaknesses of 7G's efforts are discussed and suggestions are presented for modifying certain phases of the systems development life cycle methodology when implementing green IS.展开更多

For example, the original ecological environment has been destroyed by the development of trade and economy, so that the countries from all over the world are encountering serious environmental crisis. In this paper, the current situation under the new economic environment is introduced first, the environmental protection mechanism in the report of the WTO panel, and also comprehensive countermeasures performed in the new environmental protection mechanism are proposed. Hopefully, this paper can play a help in the further researches.展开更多

Thus, there arises an important issue about copyright protection of the digital data. To solve this problem, this paper has designed and implemented a spatial data watermarking service (SDWS) system which can provide a secure framework for data transaction and transfer via the Internet and protect the rights of both copyright owners and consumers at the same time.展开更多
