How to Protect your Data ?

It's a human tendency to lock your home whenever you go out; it makes you feel protected. But what about data what you have saved on your computer? Do you lock it when you transfer it from your computer? Given the threats lurking online - hackers, phishers, identity thieves and the like - you would do well to encrypt your data of you are using the internet to share crucial information with others. This ensures privacy and prevents it from getting hacked. Even if someone succeeds in stealing an encrypted file, he or she will be unable to misuse it unless the key to decode the content of that file is also stolen alongside. Then there are the monetary transactions online and the personal information shared on the Internet. To protect users, the file encryption process is a crucial part of an efficient computer security system. File encryption or data encryption is a process of transforming your confidential information into an unreadable format which cannot be accessed without the correct password or key. Though there are third-party encryption software available like TrueCrypt in the market, you can also use the lesser known, built-in feature of Windows to secure your files. Here to go about this.

How to Encrypt a File? 

1. Right click on a file you want to encrypt. Click the 'Properties' option at the bottom of the context menu.

2. Click the 'Advanced' button located under 'General' tab in the 'Properties' dialog box.

3. Click the 'Encrypt Contents to Secure Data' option and click 'OK'.

4. If the file is in a folder you will be prompted with an 'Encryption Warning' message. If this is the case, click the 'Encrypt the File Only' option and click 'OK'.

Tips

• You can use EFS (Encrypting File System) to encrypt files on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, and Windows 7 Enterprise. The filesystem should be NTFS; it won't work on FAT32.

•  Select the certificate of the user whom you want to add (to the access list of the encrypted file), and then click OK. You can do this by clicking Properties -> Advanced -> EFS settings.

• To decrypt a folder, use the same process, only disable the document property encryption by clearing Encrypt Document Properties check box.

• Rename your file with a completely different filename and a different file extension. For example, change filename.doc into general.jpg or filename.xls into birthday.mp3; If file extensions (.doc, .png, .mp3, etc.) are not visible go to: Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and uncheck hide extensions for known file types. Some computer savvy individuals may be able to crack the file.

• You can encrypt your files using strong AES-256 encryption feature of 7-zip, which is a free file compression utility which you might be using already to compress/zip multiple files into one smaller file to be send across internet.

After encrypting the files, you should back up your certificates because there is no other way to recover encrypted files with a corrupted or missing certificate. It is critical that you back up the certificates and store them in a secure location. Here's how to back up your certificate : 

1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer. On the Tools menu, click 'Internet Options'.

2. On the 'Content' tab, in the Certificates section, click 'Certificates'. Click the 'Personal' tab.

3. Select one certificate at a time until the 'Certificate Intended Purposes' field shows 'Encrypting File System'.

4. Click 'Export' to start the Certificate Export Wizard, and then click 'Next'. Click 'Enable Strong Protection', then click 'Next'. Type in your password.

5. Specify the path where you want to save the key, and then click 'Next'. You can save the key to another location on the hard disk, or on a removable media

Computerisation of POs – Internal but important

All Chief Postmasters General

Subject – Computerisation of Double and Single-handed post
                offices in current financial year – Usage of SQL Express 
                and Windows – 7 for running Meghdoot software


During current Five Year Plan, Technology Division has supplied hardware to 1720 double-handed post offices. In the current year a supply order has also been placed on DGS&D for computerization of single handed offices. The supply of this hardware in current financial year has been done keeping in view the overall plan to computerize and network all the departmental post offices. In this context, an assessment was made not to supply SQL Server and Windows server for these double handed and single handed offices. This was done for building synergy with upcoming Technology Project 2012 which proposes computerization and networking of all post offices and which does not have requirement of a server in post offices.


The hardware supplied to these double handed post offices now is pre-loaded with Windows 7 Operating Software. For database management, it has been decided that SQL Express; free software will be utilized. In such post offices, one of the nodes will be utilized as Server. In case of single-handed post offices, the sole available node will be utilized.

In the light of the foregoing, the computers so supplied to such double and single handed post offices would be utilized for providing computerized services to public through Meghdoot software and for making officials well-versed with use of computers. On commissioning of integrated central-server based software, this exposure to computers would be useful. Accordingly, CEPT was asked to test the functioning of Meghdoot software on windows 7 and SQL express.
This new version of Meghdoot software will be ready with CEPT Mysore to be deployed in double and single handed post offices where hardware has been supplied with windows 7 and where SQL Express freeware will be used for database management. In these post offices, Meghdoot would be utilized for counter, delivery, treasury and other tested modules of application.
The Competent authority has desired that all these post offices may also be linked through date extraction tool, separate instruction will be issued by the Project Arrow monitoring group in this regard, which may be awaited

SYSTEM ASSISTANT IN INDIA POST

Presentation on Technological Developments in Department of Posts was held on 23.11.2010 in the presence of Secretary, Department of Posts, Member (Technology), Member (Operations) and other officers of the India Post. The Staff side was represented by Secretary Generals of Federations and General Secretaries of All India Unions.
The presentation was elaborately dealt with the vast changes that are going to take place in the Department of Posts due to large scale induction of Information and communication Technology (ICT). A budget of Rs. 1800 crores has been earmarked for the project which is to be completed by the year end of 2013.


The gist of the presentation can be summed up as follows:


In this era of fast developing Information and Communication Technology, large scale induction and assimilation of modern means of communication has become vital for sustenance and growth of India Post.


Having created a base of more than 12000 computerised Post offices in the country and a pool of trained human resource, India Post is in the process of implementing mass scale computerization and networking of all Departmental Post offices and Branch Post offices on a single integrated and modular platform connected to a National Data Center.


This National infrastructure, so created will enable India Post to provide state-of-the-art ICT services including Mobile remittance and Banking on a core banking platform and provide inclusive banking to rural, remote and hitherto unbanked areas.


The vast network and infrastructure of India Post, have already enabled it to become the preferred point of inter face between Government and the members of public for delivery of social and economic welfare schemes of the Government of India and various state governments. Introduction of modern ICT will help in timely and transparent delivery of social benefit schemes to the beneficiaries viz. MGNREGS, Indira Gandhi Old Age Pension Scheme (IGOAPS).


Computerised and connected network of Post office on a single integrated platform will also help India Post to retail products and services of other service providers viz. Banks, Government & Non Government financial institutions, Government Agencies and Mutual Fund houses in the rural and remote areas.


India Post has already taken initiative for re-engineering processes and making it compatible to suite the new ICT solutions and customer requirements.


One of the pre-requisite for transformation of India Post is upgradation of the skills of the work force and capacity building. Training of the human resources has been given its due importance and recognition in the project. The Services of the newly recruited 15000 Postal Assistants will also be utilized to the maximum extent. The Branch Post offices will not be provided with computers, instead they will be provided with modern-technology oriented hand devices.


Secretary General, NFPE insisted that the services rendered by the existing System Administrators in maintaining the computer network of more than 12000 Post offices is to be acknowledged in its true perspective and they may be absorbed in suitable posts such as System Assistants while implementing the project. The Secretary Post stated that this aspect will be given positive consideration. While we pointing out the delay in discussion on cadre review proposals, it was assured to finalise very shortly. Introduction of accrual based accounting system is also becomes part of the project. The apprehension about the mass redeployment or surplus has been focussed by us for which the Secretary, Posts assured that there will be no staff movements or reduction.


The Leader Staff side requested to arrange a similar presentation to the Circle Secretaries also for which the Secretary (Posts) responded positively.


The following news were made known to us during the course of discussions and interactions.


(i) For the current financial year, the modernization will be restricted up to B class offices, 628 crores had been allotted for this purpose.


(ii)Single handed offices & BOs will be taken in the next year project.


(iii)For Pilot Project six circles have been identified viz. Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh & Assam. It will come into functioning before August 2011.


(iv) Instead of cost accounting, accrual basis system will be introduced. This is almost implemented in all major organizations including Telecom as per the Government of India decisions.


(v) 1800 ATMs will be established after the introduction of Core banking. Call centers to collection of logistics, MO etc will be formed. Track & trace facilities will be implemented for all services.


(vi) On Phase II, the rest of 16 circles will be completed.


(vii) Softwares are being developed as per the recommendations of 'Accenture'.


(viii) Expression of Interest was segregated to three instruments. One major National level Data server. Second 2600 departmental Post office net week interrogators, third Rural ICP hardware solutions. All net work equipments, connectivity, maintenance will be entrusted to vendor for 24 X 7 (Per week). He is solely responsible for everything. The penalty clause provision has been included.


(ix) Data centre, hire space and installation area will be ours. The rest software, maintenance etc will be entrusted to the providers.


(x) While comparing previous year, 13% revenue has been increased in postal operations. MAIL NETWORK OPTIMIZATION PROJECT


An interaction with the staff side on Mail Network optimization project also took place during the meeting. It is explained that the scope of the project is to (1) optimize India Post Network from collection to delivery (2) to standardize processes with focus on significant quality improvement & reduction in network complexity (3) put in place an effective performance measurement system through regular reviews (4) improve the ambience of mail offices (5) upgrade processing facilities and improve working condition for employees and (6) make staff and customers proud of being associated with India Post. The key operational areas of the network optimization are (i) Speed Post and (ii) First class mail. First class mail optimization study is in progress.


The interaction mainly concentrated on the newly introduced Speed Post Network optimization programme (hubs). The Staff Side pointed out that the introduction of the speed post hubs has resulted in delay in processing and transmission of speed post articles resulting in delay in delivery. This issue should be addressed on top priority basis and corrective measures to avoid delay should be taken. The staff side further pointed out that while more than 80% of the speed post hubs are functioning under the administrative control of RMS Superintendents, the remaining hubs are controlled by Postal Superintendents. This has created on apprehension in the minds of the RMS employees that in the longer run the identity of RMS will be lost and eventually it will be merged with Post offices. Taking into consideration of this aspect, the Staff Side requested that all the Speed Post hubs should be under the control of RMS Superintendents. The Secretary, Posts assured to consider the request positively.

BUT OUR SIDE NO ANY MOVEMENT

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR

What is The Role Of the System Administrator?


Q. Can you explain the role of the system administrator?


A. The person who is responsible for setting up and maintaining the system is called as the system administrator. System administrators may be members of an information technology department. Most of the following discussion also applies to network and Windows system admins.

Duties of a system administrator
The duties of a system administrator are wide-ranging, and vary widely from one organization to another. Sysadmins are usually charged with installing, supporting, and maintaining servers or other computer systems, and planning for and responding to service outages and other problems. Other duties may include scripting or light programming, project management for systems-related projects.

The system administrator is responsible for following things:
User administration (setup and maintaining account)
Maintaining system
Verify that peripherals are working properly
Quickly arrange repair for hardware in occasion of hardware failure
Monitor system performance
Create file systems
Install software
Create a backup and recover policy
Monitor network communication
Update system as soon as new version of OS and application software comes out
Implement the policies for the use of the computer system and network
Setup security policies for users. A sysadmin must have a strong grasp of computer security (e.g. firewalls and intrusion detection systems).
What is so special about the system administrator account?

The root account has full (unrestricted) access, so he/she can do anything with system. For example, root can remove critical system files. In addition, there is no way you can recover file except using tape backup.
Many tasks for system administration can be automated using perl or shell scripts. For example:
Create new users
Resetting user passwords
Lock/unlock user accounts
Monitor server security
Monitor special services etc
Most important skill to a system administrator


Problem solving, period. This can some time lead into all sorts of constraints and stress. When workstation or server goes down, you are called to solve the problem. You should able to quickly and correctly diagnose the problem. You must figure out what is wrong and how best it can be fixed in small amount of time.

System administrators are not...
Cookie cutting software engineers.
Developers.
It is not usually within your duties to design new applications software.
But, you must understand the behavior of software in order to deploy it and to troubleshoot problems, and generally should be good at several programming languages used for scripting or automation of routine tasks such as shell, awk, perl, python etc.
