2 Tonight More detailed look at metadata description of content No access to a network today, so not all the updating I would like to do… Sorry.

3 Google Books Project Michael A. Keller, Closing Keynote –Ida M. Green University Librarian at Stanford, –Director of Academic Information Resources, –Publisher of HighWire Press, and –Publisher of the Stanford University Press: "One good turn deserves another; how the Google Book Search project is benefiting everyone".

4 Google Books demo Full text - Life of Miguel de Cervantes Limited Preview - The Life of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Snippet View - "Discreción" in the Works of Cervantes: A Semantic Study

5 What has been accomplished As of September 2006 Nearly 30,000 Stanford books digitized –~1M books from all partner libraries Over 4,000 books identified as needing preservation treatment (& so not digitized) A great debate about copyright has started –Orphan works –What can an archive do to provide access –Defense of fair use underway Today’s news: www.pcworld.com/article/172315/google_books_wont_hit_digital_shelves_anytime_soon.html This slide is taken from the presentation by Michael A. Keller at ECDL 2006

6 Original Principles If legally possible, digitize every book (9M volumes) in the Stanford libraries –Now digitizing with imprint dates up to 1963 Partner libraries (*added recently) –University of Michigan (similar to Stanford) –Harvard (public domain (?), maybe > 1M) –NYPL (public domain, unusual collections) –Oxford - Bodleian (earlier than 1885, ~ 1M titles) –University of California (similar to Stanford >6M) –(more to follow) This slide is taken from the presentation by Michael A. Keller at ECDL 2006

7 Purposes Digital preservation –Virtual Bookshelves in Stanford Digital Repository under construction as part of the Stanford Digital Repository –For Stanford use only Other searching and research functions –Subtle searching (as in Socrates & HighWire) –Taxonomic (LCSH & HighWire) & Associative Searching (Takano) –Citation linking (HighWire & “InforTools” (Ebrary) –Better navigation (through visualization ?) (Grokker) Digitized books from all sources as test bed for new research; combine with articles, datasets, etc. for data mining & other transformative uses. This slide is taken from the presentation by Michael A. Keller at ECDL 2006

8 Some Conclusions Google Book Search –Is an indexing, not a publishing project –Offers substantial increases in access to contents of books in library collections by keyword searching –Offers publishers global marketing of their publications –Offers several useful services to readers Offers participating libraries –Digital copies of books on their shelves for preservation –New possibilities for services to local readers –New possibilities for research for local faculty & students Note – recent settlement between Google and publishers. -- anyone hear about that? This slide is taken from the presentation by Michael A. Keller at ECDL 2006

9 Google Books of 2007 In May, the Cantonal and University Library of Lausanne, and Ghent University Library join the Book Search program, adding a substantial amount of books in French, German, Flemish, Latin and other languages, and bringing the total number of European libraries partners to six. In July, we add a "View plain text" link to all out-of-copyright books. T.V. Raman explains how this opens the book to adaptive technologies such as screen readers and Braille display, allowing visually impaired users to read these books just as easily as users with sight. By December, the Book Search interface is available in over 35 languages, from Japanese to Czech to Finnish. Over 10,000 publishers and authors from 100+ countries are participating in the Book Search Partner Program. The Library Project expands to 28 partners, including seven international library partners: Oxford University (UK), University of Complutense of Madrid (Spain), the National Library of Catalonia (Spain), University Library of Lausanne (Switzerland), Ghent University (Belgium) and Keio University (Japan).

10 Open Content Alliance The Open Content Alliance (OCA) is a collaborative effort of a group of cultural, technology, nonprofit, and governmental organizations from around the world that helps build a permanent archive of multilingual digitized text and multimedia material. An archive of contributed material is available on the Internet Archive website and through Yahoo! and other search engines and sites. The OCA encourages access to and reuse of collections in the archive, while respecting the content owners and contributors. Contributors to the OCA have agreed to the principles set forth in the Call for Participation. The Open Content Alliance is administered by the Internet Archive, a 501c3 non-profit library. http://www.opencontentalliance.org/about/

11 European Digital Library Project EDLproject was a Targeted Project funded by the European Commission under the eContentplus Programme and coordinated by the German National Library. The project, started in September 2006 and completed in February 2008, worked towards the integration of the bibliographic catalogues and digital collections of the National Libraries of Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain and Sweden, into The European Library. EDLproject also addressed the enhancement of multilingual capabilities of The European Library portal, took first steps towards collaboration between The European Library and other non-library cultural initiatives, and expanded the marketing and communication activities of The European Library service.

12 A DL example Library of Congress American Memory project –http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.htmlhttp://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html – “American Memory provides free and open access through the Internet to written and spoken words, sound recordings, still and moving images, prints, maps, and sheet music that document the American experience. It is a digital record of American history and creativity. These materials, from the collections of the Library of Congress and other institutions, chronicle historical events, people, places, and ideas that continue to shape America, serving the public as a resource for education and lifelong learning.”

38 Fair use No clear, easy answers. Checksheet provided in the article is a good guide to the issues. Link to the checksheet: http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/checklist.htm http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/checklist.htm

39 Moral rights Fair to the creator –Keep the identity of the creator of the work –Do not cut the work –Generally, be considerate of the person (or institution) that created the work.

40 Getting Permission With the best will in the world, getting the appropriate permissions is not always easy. –Identify who holds the rights –Get in touch with the rights holder –Get a suitable agreement to cover the needs of your use. Useful links: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/PERMISSN.HTM –Connections to various ways to discover and contact the rights holder of a work.

43 Technical issues Link the resource to the copyright statements Maintain that link when the resource is copied or used Approaches: –Steganography –Encryption –Digital Wrappers –Digital Watermarks

44 Issues in Encryption General cases for protection of controlled content: Concern for passive listening, active interference. –Listening: intruder gains information, may not be detected. Effects indirect. –Active interference Intruder may prevent delivery of the message to the intended recipient. Intruder may substitute a fake message for the intended one Effects are direct and immediate Less likely in the case of digital library content

45 Message interception Original message Encoding Method Ciphertext Decoding Method Received message EavesdroppingMasquerading Intruder (Plain text)

46 Types of Encryption Methods Substitution –Simple adjustment, Caesar’s cipher Each letter is replaced by one that is a fixed distance from it in the alphabet. A becomes D, B becomes E, etc. At the end, wrap around, so X becomes A, Y becomes B, Z becomes C. May have been confusing the fist time it was done, but it would not have taken long to figure it out. Note the simple example at geocaching.com –No intention to hide or confuse. Just keep a person from seeing too much information about the hide, unless the person wants to see the help. –Simple substitution of other characters for letters -- numbers, dancing men, etc. –More complex substitution. No pattern to the replacement scheme. See common cryptogram puzzles. These are usually made easier by showing the spaces between the words. (For very modern version, see http://www.cryptograms.org/ ) http://www.cryptograms.org/

47 Dancing Men???? Arthur Conan Doyle: The Adventure of the Dancing Men. A Sherlock Holmes Adventure. Read the story online and see the images and analysis of the decoding at http://camdenhouse.ignisart.com/canon/danc.htm http://camdenhouse.ignisart.com/canon/danc.htm “Speaking roughly, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R, D, and L are the numerical order in which letters occur; but T, A, O, and I are very nearly abreast of each other, and it would be an endless task to try each combination until a meaning was arrived at.”

48 Types of encryption - 2 Hiding the text. The wax tablet example –message written on the base of the tablet and wax put over top of it with another message on the wax Steganography: (ste-g&n-o´gr&-fē) (n.) The art and science of hiding information by embedding messages within other, seemingly harmless messages. Steganography works by replacing bits of useless or unused data in regular computer files (such as graphics, sound, text, HTML, or even floppy disks ) with bits of different, invisible information. This hidden information can be plain text, cipher text, or even images. Special software is needed for steganography, and there are freeware versions available at any good download site. Can be used to insert identification into a file to track its source. Definition from www.webopedia.com

49 Types of encryption - 3 Key-based shuffling –Using a mnemonic to make the key easy to remember. A machine to do the shuffling A D B C D C B A What shuffling is used? How would “CAB” look?

50 Monoalphabetic codes Any kind of substitution in which just one letter (or other symbol) represents one letter from the original alphabet is called monoalphabetic encoding. –Such codes are easy to break. That is what you do when you solve cryptograms. –Frequency distribution of letters in normal text for a given language are well known. “The twelve most frequently-used letters in the English language are ETAOIN SHRDL, in that order.” -- http://www.cryptograms.org/ http://www.cryptograms.org/

51 Letter distributions in English A7.81%N7.28%TH3.18OU0.72THE6.42 B1.28O8.21IN1.54IT0.71OF4.02 C2.93P2.15ER1.3ES0.69AND3.15 D4.11Q0.14RE1.30ST0.68TO2.36 E13.05R6.64AN1.08OR0.68A2.09 F2.88S6.46HE1.08NT0.67IN1.77 G1.39T9.02AR102HI0.68THAT1.25 H5.85U2.77EN1.02EA0.64IS1.03 I6.77V1.00TI1.02VE0.64I0.94 J0.23W1.49TE0.98CO0.59IT0.93 K0.42X0.30AT0.88DE0.55FOR0.77 L3.60Y1.51ON0.84RA0.55AS0.76 M2.62Z0.09HA0.84RO0.55WITH0.76 SOURCE: Tannenbaum Computer Networks 1981 Prentice Hall

52 Disguising frequencies First trick: use more than 26 symbols and use several different symbols to represent the same letter. The goal is to even out the distribution. Ex. Use the letters plus the digits. –36 symbols –Assign five symbols to the letter E, two to the letter I, three to the letter N, two each to R and S.

53 More complex Vigenere’s table Arrange all the letters of the alphabet 26 times, in parallel columns, such that each column begins with a different letter, first A, then B, etc. Encode each letter by using a different column for each successive letter of the message. How to know which column to use? Use a keyword. Examples and breaking: http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/cpsc/cryptography/vigenere.html http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/cpsc/cryptography/vigenere.html

54 Decoding The Vigenere cipher looks really hard, but is not secure. Since the keyword repeats, it is really just a bunch of monoalphabetic codes. If you can figure out the length of the keyword, you can do standard analysis. Making it harder - instead of a regular arrangement of the letter columns, scramble them in some arbitrary way. –Makes decoding much more difficult, but also makes it difficult to have the arrangement known to the people who are supposed to be able to read the message.

55 Enigma Suppose we take a conversion for the first letter of the message and a different mapping for the next letter and a different mapping for the next letter … That is what we did with Vigenere Add additional encodings. Rotate from a fixed starting point through 26 positions of the first set of columns, then iterate a second set of columns. Now have 676 different mappings. To decode, must figure out the wiring inside each phase, and the order in which they are arranged in the machine.

56 Enigma German engineer, Artur Scherbius (1878- 1929) invented a machine of this type around 1918 and bought the patent rights to one invented in Holland also. He added a reflecting cylinder, which allowed the same machine to encode and decode. He called the machine enigma, from the Greek for riddle. The enigma used by the Germans in WWII had three rotors, and later four.

57 Enigma - 2

58 Encryption/Decryption Keys Problem is that you have to get the key to the receiver, secretly and accurately. If you can get the key there, why not use the same method to send the whole message? (Efficiency of scale) If the key is compromised without the communicators knowing it, the transmissions are open. Exact working of the enigma machine: –http://www.codesandciphers.org.uk/enigma/rotorspec.htmhttp://www.codesandciphers.org.uk/enigma/rotorspec.htm How Polish mathematicians broke the enigma –http://www.codesandciphers.org.uk/virtualbp/poles/poles.htmhttp://www.codesandciphers.org.uk/virtualbp/poles/poles.htm

59 Summary of encryption goals High level of data protection Simple to understand Complex enough to deter intruders Protection based on the key, not the algorithm Economical to implement Adaptable for various applications Available at reasonable cost

60 Data Encryption Standard Complex sequence of transformations –hardware implementations speed performance –modifications have made it very secure Known algorithm –security based on difficulty in discovering the key http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip46-2.htm

62 INTERNET-LINKED COMPUTERS CHALLENGE DATA ENCRYPTION STANDARD LOVELAND, COLORADO (June 18, 1997). Tens of thousands of computers, all across the U.S. and Canada, linked together via the Internet in an unprecedented cooperative supercomputing effort to decrypt a message encoded with the government- endorsed Data Encryption Standard (DES). Responding to a challenge, including a prize of $10,000, offered by RSA Data Security, Inc, the DESCHALL effort successfully decoded RSADSI's secret message. According to Rocke Verser, a contract programmer and consultant who developed the specialized software in his spare time, "Tens of thousands of computers worked cooperatively on the challenge in what is believed to be one of the largest supercomputing efforts ever undertaken outside of government." Using a technique called "brute-force", computers participating in the challenge simply began trying every possible decryption key. There are over 72 quadrillion keys (72,057,594,037,927,936). At the time the winning key was reported to RSADSI, the DESCHALL effort had searched almost 25% of the total. At its peak over the recent weekend, the DESCHALL effort was testing 7 billion keys per second.

63 Public Key encryption Eliminates the need to deliver a key Two keys: one for encoding, one for decoding Known algorithm –security based on security of the decoding key Essential element: –knowing the encoding key will not reveal the decoding key

64 Effective Public Key Encryption Encoding method E and decoding method D are inverse functions on message M: –D(E(M)) = M Computational cost of E, D reasonable D cannot be determined from E, the algorithm, or any amount of plaintext attack with any computationally feasible techniqueplaintext attack E cannot be broken without D (only D will accomplish the decoding) Any method that meets these criteria is a valid Public Key Encryption technique

65 It all comes down to this: key used for decoding is dependent upon the key used for encoding, but the relationship cannot be determined in any feasible computation or observation of transmitted data

66 Rivest, Shamir, Adelman (RSA) Choose 2 large prime numbers, p and q, each more than 100 digits Compute n=p*q and z=(p-1)*(q-1) Choose d, relatively prime to zrelatively prime Find e, such that e*d=1 mod (z)e*d=1 mod (z) –or e*d mod z = 1, if you prefer. This produces e and d, the two keys that define the E and D methods.

67 Public Key encoding Convert M into a bit stringM into a bit string Break the bit string into blocks, P, of size k –k is the largest integer such that 2 k <n –P corresponds to a binary value: 0<P<n Encoding method –E = Compute C=P e (mod n) Decoding method –D = Compute P=C d (mod n) e and n are published (public key) d is closely guarded and never needs to be disclosed

68 An example: P=7; q=11; n=77; z=60 d=13; e=37; k=6 Test message = CAT Using A=1, etc and 5-bit representation : – 00011 00001 10100 Since k=6, regroup the bits (arrange right to left so that any padding needed will put 0's on the left and not change the value): –000000 110000 110100 (three leading zeros added to fill the block) decimal equivalent: 0 48 52 Each of those raised to the power 37 (e) mod n: 0 27 24 Each of those values raised to the power 13 (d) mod n (convert back to the original): 0 48 52

69 A practical note There is a lot more to security than encryption. Encryption coding is done by a few experts Understanding how the common encryption algorithms work is useful in choosing the right approach for your situation. Our interest here is in providing assurance that access to protected resources will be limited to those with legitimate rights.

70 On a practical note: PGP You can create your own real public and private keys using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) See the following Web site for full information. (MIT site - obsolete) http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/versions/freeware/ http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/Required_Files/ PGP.htmlhttp://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/Required_Files/ PGP.html

71 Issues Intruder vulnerability –If an intruder intercepts a request from A for B’s public key, the intruder can masquerade as B and receive messages from B intended for A. The intruder can send those same or different messages to B, pretending to be A. –Prevention requires authentication of the public key to be used. Computational expense –One approach is to use Public Key Encryption to send the Key for use in DES, then use the faster DES to transmit messages

72 Digital Signatures Some messages do not need to be encrypted, but they do need to be authenticated: reliably associated with the real sender –Protect an individual against unauthorized access to resources or misrepresentation of the individual’s intentions –Protect the receiver against repudiation of a commitment by the originator

73 Digital Signature basic technique Sender A Receiver B Intention to send E(Random Number) where E is A’s public key Message and D(E(Random Number)) = Random Number, decoded as only A could do

74 Public key encryption with implied signature Add the requirement that E(D(M)) = M Sender A has encoding key E A, decoding key D A Intended receiver has encoding (public) key E B. A produces E B (D A (M)) Receiver calculates E A (D B (E B (D A (M)))) –Result is M, but also establishes that only A could have encoded M

75 Digital Signature Standard (DSS) Verifies that the message came from the specified source and also that the message has not been modified More complexity than simple encoding of a random number, but less than encrypting the entire message Message is not encoded. An authentication code is appended to it.

76 Digital Signature - SHA FIPS Pub 186 - Digital Signature Standard http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip186.htm http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip186.htm

77 Encryption summary Problems –intruders can obtain sensitive information –intruder can interfere with correct information exchange Solution –disguise messages so an intruder will not be able to obtain the contents or replace legitimate messages with others

78 Important methods DES –fast, reasonably good encryption –key distribution problem Public Key Encryption –more secure based on the difficulty of factoring very large numbers –no key distribution problem –computationally intense

79 Digital signatures Authenticate messages so the sender cannot repudiate the message later Protect messages from changes during transmission or at the receiver’s site Useful when the contents do not need encryption, but the contents must be accurate and correctly associated with the sender

80 Legal and ethical issues People who work in these fields face problems with allowable exports, and are not always allowed to talk about their work. Is it desirable to have government able to crack all codes? What is the tradeoff between privacy of law abiding citizens vs. the ability of terrorists and drug traffickers to communicate in secret?
