Many applications contain security features that are available for end-users to select and configure, as well as the potential to place users in situations where they must take security-related ...decisions. However, the manner in which these aspects are implemented and presented can often serve to complicate the process, such that users cannot actually use the security that they desire, or which may be expected of them. This paper presents the results of a survey of over 340 end-users in order to determine their understanding of the security features within Windows XP and three popular applications (Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and Word). The study reveals some significant areas of difficulty, with many standard security features presenting apparent usability challenges for large proportions of the respondents. The results highlight the need for a more considered approach towards the presentation of security functionality if users are to have a realistic chance of protecting themselves.

Computer Forensic, the upcoming branch of forensic science where acquiring, preserving, retrieving and presenting content processed electronically and stored digitally, is used for legal evidence in ...computer related crimes or any other unethical practice involving manipulation of digital content. Such digital content can take many forms which are manifested by different file formats and digital artifacts.
This paper concentrates on evidential usage of recovered deleted e-mail from off-line mail boxes to provide digital evidence in case of non-repudiation either by the sender or by the receiver. This is simply accomplished by using a digital forensic tool Encase 6.0 and applying a capturing mechanism to prove legitimacy of the evidence. The step-by-step procedure is able to increase the practical insight in the capturing of deleted e-mail as digital evidence of non-repudiation and able to provide an example for preparing evidentiary e-mail for presentation in the court of Law or for preparation of any legal procedure. Recovery of deleted e-mails in the form of digital evidence requires certain legal bindings which may be provided under this mechanism. This paper contributes to that extent that recovered files are ready digital evidence in the Court of Law.
The iPhone may be generally considered a consumer device, but Apple has built an incredible amount of professional and business-grade features into it, including access to Microsoft Exchange and ...other industry collaborative tools (messaging, calendar, and contacts), as well as secure and on-demand access to remote network resources—each of which we’ll explore throughout this book. In this first chapter, however, let’s focus on the immediate questions that you’ll need to know when you go to the store to pick out your iPhone, and when you come home, activate it for use and sync data between it and your computer for the first time.
