ifmapcli 0.1.1 released

We have released a new version of our IF-MAP command line toolset ifmapcli.

Changes and new features include

  • new CLI tools for device-characteristic, enforcement-report, location, wlan-information, unexpected-behaviour
  • use of a new parser for command line arguments: argparser4j
  • refactored the code to minimize redundancy (and allow to implement future tools in a simpler manner)

From this version on, ifmapcli provides CLI tools for all the metadata specified in TNC IF-MAP Metadata for Network Security in version 1.1.

Meet the Trust@HsH team on CeBIT 2014

The Trust@HsH research group will present their work in IT and Network Security on this year’s CeBIT as one of 27 exhibitors of the joint booth of Germany’s federal state of Lower Saxony. Core themes of the joint booth are information security, law enforcement, IT and government solutions.

True to the booth’s motto “We have foresight”, the Trust@HsH research group will showcase their current work in Security Information and Event Management (see SIMU project ) and in visualization of network security (see VisITMeta project).

You can watch a high level demonstration of our open source IF-MAP tools or discuss the nitty details of their concepts or even implementation with our developers who will be present over the entire duration of the fair.

The Trust@HsH team will be happy to welcome you in Hall 7, at booth c28!

At the TCG associated seminar “Get proactive with security” on Monday 24th, Trust@HsH presented a live demonstration of a BYOD-scenario including software of the iron* software suite as well as the StrongSwan VPN-software by Hochschule Rapperswil and the Android IF-MAP client by DECOIT GmbH.

Demonstration details (including virtual machines and setup instructions) will be released in the next few weeks.

The conference itself was a perfect opportunity to meet some fellow TCG members and other network security professionals and discuss our approaches and current work, as well as attending talks and panels with security experts like Bruce Schneier, Adi Shamir and Whitfield Diffie.

New releases of all ifmapj-based software

As we mentioned in our last news about the release of ifmapj 1.0.0, we successfully updated all of our ifmapj-based tools to make use of ifmapj 1.0.0.

All of our Github master branches for the following software were adjusted to use ifmapj 1.0.0, and therefore use the new package structure (de.hshannover.f4.trust).

20 Dec 2013

ifmapj 1.0.0 available at Maven Central

ifmapj, our Java library for IF-MAP Clients is now available via Maven Central.

As mentioned in our post about the new name of our research group, we increased the version number to 1.0.0, as we adapted the package names in all source files of ifmapj to match the new name of our research group and University.

At the moment, we are working on all our IF-MAP Clients that use ifmapj, to adapt them to use ifmapj 1.0.0 and therefore also adjust their package structure, so there will be new releases as well.

So in the near future, when all tools are adapted, all of our IF-MAP Clients can then be simply build by downloading them from Github and then run Maven, and ifmapj will be downloaded automatically by Maven like every other dependency.

We will publish a further news item, when adapting all tools is finished. Until then, you can use and build our tools as before (including manually installing ifmapj to your local Maven repository).
