- Description/Abstract:
- In this proposal for a National Service Learning Academy and complimentary Action Research Program, several curricula configurations are put forth. The first is a full-blown action research major that partially dictates the appropriate courses to take fulfilling the A&S core requirements and the majority of free electives. The second is a minor/certificate in action research. The third is an alternative set of core courses that would replace the credit hours traditionally reserved for the A&S core requirements, enabling any student to tack on the action research experience to their chosen major while still having credit hours available to pursue other minors, certificates, or electives. The fourth is an alternative core that is based more heavily on applied courses and knowledge.

Session Description: Publishing Data In Repositories - August 10th from 2-3pm The currency of academia has long been the article. However, with supplemental materials in so many formats, the nature of the scholarly output has changed dramatically. Additionally funders and journals are requiring that the evidence for the articles is also available. Repositories are an excellent venue for these additional forms of scholarly, particular the data. In this session, attendees will learn about the nature of changing publication outputs, how repositories can help provide the needed infrastructure to share data and other research outputs, and how to make a bigger impact with your scholarship through publishing in a repository.

- This webinar was a part of the Data and Computation Science Series and one of five webinars focused on the Publishing Lifecycle of Data. It occurred on July 27, 2020, at 2:00 pm EDT. Due to technical difficulties, the presentation starts at 8:47. The presenter was Claudio Aspesi, Senior Research Analyst. He joined Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC, in 2004 covering European media stocks. Previously he was Global Senior Vice President of Strategy at EMI Music and was responsible for defining the company’s business model as the music industry entered the digital age. Before joining EMI Music in 2002, Mr. Aspesi was a member of the executive team at Airclic, an Internet infrastructure company, and prior to that a Principal at McKinsey and Co., working with many leading media and entertainment companies. Mr. Aspesi graduated with the highest honors from Universita Luigi Bocconi, Milan, with a Laurea in Economia Aziendale. Session Description - Open data and metadata - opportunities, risks, and possible actions Research data is at the core of what universities do. Its value to researchers is, of course, paramount - and open science offers significant benefits to the scientific community. But this data, and the attached metadata, are increasingly valuable for third parties as well. We will discuss how research data and metadata increasingly overlaps with all the other data produced by academic institutions, how it is becoming increasingly valuable outside the academic community, and how it could become even more valuable in the future. The collection, analysis, synthesis and preservation of data and metadata, however, pose significant issues as well; for example, data can and is being used to evaluate individuals (with the biases implicit in developing algorithms to analyze them). More broadly, the collection and analysis of data raises privacy and academic freedom concerns, and so does the lack of transparency and accountability of third party users. Ultimately, the deployment of data analytics and Artificial Intelligence tools should fit with the broader values of the academic community, such as equity and sustainability - whether it does so is controversial. In addition to the need to establish principles for the use of data analytics and Artificial Intelligence, there are also significant ethical questions that need to be addressed, and that pose significant challenges, and there are questions about how to ensure the long term preservation of data and metadata. We will close the presentation with a look at possible steps that the academic community ought to take to address all these issues. We hope that a discussion will follow, in order to address questions and issues, as well as to gather points of view from participants

- Description/Abstract:
- The current debates revolving around 5G, Huawei, and how they are resolved, are highly visible indicators of the technology based shifts in the global order which are setting the tone for the 21st century. Currently, it seems that many in the US and the PRC are using Cold War and Thucydides Trap paradigms, with a zero-sum mentality. At least in the case of 5G technology, the UK seems to have taken a more nuanced approach. This article comes as the UK prepares its new National Cyber Security Strategy, reviewing the 5G and cyber security debates surrounding Huawei in a highly interdisciplinary manner, and directing readers to a rich variety of resources. In addition to its analysis of issues and solutions often absent from the discourse, this article’s feature contribution is the argument that the UK can be more than an example of a middle way. Specifically, if the UK scales up and internationalizes its Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Center, perhaps by creating an International Cyber Security Evaluation Center, it can lead its allies and the world in 5G, 6G, cybersecurity, and international relations, filling a vital leadership vacuum.

- Description/Abstract:
- This analytical paper asks, does the One-China policy shape the People’s Republic of China’s foreign policy? This paper begins by briefly defining the One-China policy and situating it in the respective histories of China and its current incarnation as the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Then, after untangling the often muddled classifications of soft, sharp, and hard power, the question is interrogated in the context of each class of power (Nye, 2004; Nye, 2011; Nye, 2018; Raby, 2019; Walker & Ludwig, 2017). This analytical essay concludes that the PRC does employ predominantly sharp and hard power strategies that are heavily influenced by the One-China policy.

15. Fail-Safe Erase
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- The FCC reported that there were about 3.1 million smartphone thefts in 2013. Today nearly everyone owns at least one smart device, and many people tend to keep personal or business information on these same devices. If your device is lost the first reaction you might have is to use attempt to use 3rd party software to locate or wipe the sensitive data from your device, but what happens when the connection to those services is severed? The Fail-Safe Erase application aims to provide you with the ability to wipe your device after its disconnected from reaching network services. After setting up a personalized password and a wipe timer, the Fail-Safe Erase application will run in the background while looking for those services. Once the connection to GPS, network, and cellular service is interrupted the wipe timer begins its countdown. If the user does not access their device to interrupt the wipe timer within the time set by the user, the device will begin to wipe itself of all personal data. Fail-Safe Erase aims to ensure that if you can’t gain access to your mobile device, remotely or physically, the private data on it will be securely erased, hopefully before it falls into the wrong hands.

16. GoCart
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- The use of the GoCart application will have the ability to enhance grocery shoppers’ experience by taking the shopping list and generating the most efficient shopping path. According to the Time Use Institute, the average shopping trip takes 45 minutes. In part, the time spent is attributed to confusing store layout, congested aisles, and uninformed staff (Marks, 2015). Results from our grocery shopping experience has shown that more time is directed towards roaming through the aisles searching for the items. There are applications dealing with allowing us to create a virtual list, but none directed towards the location of the items. Along with GoCart creating the most productive shopping path with the virtual list, there will also be a map with the store layout that pinpoints each item. Having GoCart will make the next trip to the grocery store quick and painless.

17. Nibbler
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- Nibbler is an android application used to search and find restaurants based on specific filters applied by the user. Nibbler gives users the ability to apply multiple filters to their searches and allows those with dietary restrictions or food allergies to find restaurants that fit their specific diet. Nibbler also aims to eliminate the issue of analysis paralysis by limiting the return on food locations that are returned to the user after completing a search. The reason for this is simple, if there are too many options, then an individual can overanalyze or overthink the situation. This way the user still has everything they originally searched for, but the decision is easier due to the fact that they are limited in their options. The application is simple to use and anyone with an android device can navigate the simple UI. This allows users to store personal data and health information safely and securely.

18. PrepIN
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- Getting a job interview does not mean automatically landing a job. For people in IT, the interview process can be very lengthy and involve multiple face to face interviews and skill testing. These interviews can be stressful and hard to prepare for. No one should be held back from getting a job they are qualified for. In order to help people prepare for interviews, we have created PrepIN. PrepIN will do what sites like Indeed and Hackerrank do not. Anyone would be able to schedule a time for a practice interview. They will participate in a one to one host video call and have access to a video message chat. Having access to a test environment that will put them face to face with someone will better help stimulate the interview environment and process. That way job seekers can work to deal with the stress and anxiety that many face during interviews.

19. UC CTF
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- According to cybersecurityventures.com, despite the high demand for new talent in the cyber security field, there are currently not enough cyber professionals to fill this need (Morgan, 2019, p. 1). To generate new cyber talent, the Ohio Cyber Range Institute utilizes its in-house web application to host regional Capture-the-Flag (CTF) events—exciting, cyber-themed competitions that help inform and spur interest in cyber security. Our project, UC CTF, takes that existing web application and greatly expands upon it. UC CTF features a completely redesigned application site, enhanced functionality and quality-of-life improvements for site administrators, and a brand new question repository of fun cyber challenges for CTF players—from beginner to expert and everything in between. UC CTF greatly improves upon the capabilities of the original application, allows for players of all skill levels to engage in an exciting CTF environment, and helps to develop new talent in cybersecurity.

20. iMechanic
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- Car maintenance management can be difficult due the different components that are commonly repaired and replaced. Even if an owner has vast knowledge of their vehicle’s maintenance routine, it is common to forget when a component was replaced. Consumer Reports advises that the best way to save money at the mechanic is to do proper research on specific components, and fix/replace components at the right time. iMechanic is a multi-platform web application that allows car owners to take maintenance into their own hands by keeping detailed work logs and allowing owners to efficiently organize their car’s data. The user can input simple vehicle information to create their dashboard, where they can get familiar with common maintenance routines, costs, and local mechanics. When a car owner uses a proper organization management tool, they can increase the well-being of their vehicle, while also saving money from avoiding unnecessary repairs.

21. HomeWatch
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- According to a study in 2018 from PSYCOM, it was concluded that 50% of teenagers feel they are addicted to their smartphones, 60% of adults say that they believe that their children are having issues with time on their phone and, on average, 60% adults and children state they immediately respond to notifications. HomeWatch is a web-based application that would give everyone ease of mind when it comes to overlogging by tracking the time used on certain websites and applications without limiting time or function. HomeWatch is meant to be a safeguard for expectations set by parents so that children aren’t abusing time on their device. With social media, and easy access apps on smartphones, it is easier to spend more time on the phone than it is to do productive work, and HomeWatch is there to make sure that work and play are budgeted effectively.

22. Easy DB
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- According to Marketing Metrics [1] businesses have a 60 to 70 percent chance to sell to existing customers versus just 5 to 20 percent for other prospects. A database can provide essential insights into a customer’s choices that can be used to grow a business. Unfortunately, many small businesses do not have the knowledge or budget to create and manage a database. EasyDB aims to alleviate the stress on small businesses by providing a tool to learn the basics of database design as well as getting a template database created in real time that a small business can set up quickly with some acquired knowledge. This is done using EasyDB’s guided template builder that walks users through the creation of essential database designs with the intention of creating an end database that the user can download for their own use. When the guided learning databases are not enough there are also templates, that users can edit and download to meet their specific needs. In the case that we tested with a small business owner, the owner was able to step through all of the guides and gain enough knowledge to implement a database that he could use in the future.

25. Patrol
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- Many police departments lack technological resources that enables them to track meaningful data. Beginning in 2020, the State of Ohio has mandated that all departments track and collect police incident data. This data is where most police officers’ public contact comes from according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (Office of Justice Programs). Currently, this data is gathered from notes that the officer makes at the time of the incident and later recorded in an excel document. This process is inefficient and fallible. Patrol is a cross-platform web application that allows officers to easily, accurately and efficiently gather incident data. By creating an application that is cloudbased, officers can easily input information that stores the data at the time of the incident. This data is used to generate reports for the department and state auditors. Patrol's design and development allows officers to save time and difficulty in creating incident reports.

- Description/Abstract:
- Enterprise data migration was a common practice amongst businesses in corporate America. Organizations chose to migrate databases for a variety of reasons including trying to reduce costs by moving to cloud-based databases, seeking specific database features and functionality, or their existing systems were simply outdated and unable to keep up with the demands of the business (Alooma 2019). As companies continued to expand and evolve, features such as agile data migrations and integration capabilities became more integral. Company acquisitions and departmental mergers were common catalysts for data migrations. Upon these occurrences, the responsibility had been given to the IT department to migrate and integrate the data into the new environment to allow end users to complete daily functions. DataGrate was conceived to provide data solutions to both the technology professional and the end user. Data functions included on the front end allowed users to easily pull, clean, and organize data for the end user. At the end of the project lifecycle, DataGrate solutions had been developed into a fully functional data migration software with dynamic capabilities and user functionalities, making the product a success for both the DataGrate Solutions team and the end user.

- Description/Abstract:
- 22 percent of turnover happens in the first 45 days from the start of employment. Onboarding is critical for the longevity of a new hire’s career at any company. Minerva was a web application which held all the resources that new hires received during their training period. The application dedicated drive space to each employee and held their resources. It was a new employee’s one stop service for onboarding resources. It used ASP.NET, SQL server, and Bootstrap to hold the entirety of a user’s resources. The user could access files saved to their drive, complete learning courses, and surf the company wiki. Minerva created network drives for each employee on hire and assigned them all the materials they needed for their specific training. This allowed trainers and trainees to have their resources available and to be prepared before the first day of training.

- Description/Abstract:
- According to NIH (National Institute of Drug Abuse), an estimated 52 million people have used prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons at least once in their lifetimes. There are many applications that allow healthcare organizations to view patient’s history, but they lack the flexibility of allowing other organizations to view the same information. SafeMeds is a cloud-based web solution that allows healthcare providers to be connected, preventing patients going from office-to-office to acquire prescriptions. Our product allows pharmacists and their prescriber to be alerted to patient activity. SafeMeds allows pharmacists to view the prescription sent over by doctors or prescribers, while doctors can view the history and prescribing prescriptions page. SafeMeds now makes it easy for prescribers and pharmacists to view trends and identify abuses in prescriptions. Prescription drugs can be regulated and the use of medications for nonmedical reasons can decline gradually using SafeMeds.

- In today’s market, large game distribution platforms take a sizable cut of developers’ game sales, which significantly impacts indie developers’ ability to grow. In the recent GDC State of the industry that was held in March of this year, it was polled that “ just 6% of nearly 4,000 respondents believe that Steam justifies the 30% cut it takes from developers” (Sinclair 2019) . Our team will create a blockchain network based on Ethereum that will function as the ledger and transaction engine for our digital game distribution platform. We are developing this platform to create a marketplace focused on allowing indie game developers to earn a larger cut of their sales. In addition, our platform will provide infrastructure by crowd-sourcing hardware from nodes in our network by incentivizing users to host content and provide downloads in return for a small gratuity. Through a combination of Hyperledger frameworks and IBM blockchain technology, we will be able to minimize the middleman and shrink the necessary infrastructure to a fraction of traditional methods.

- There are around 2700 locations with National Park in their title on our planet, and more than 6500 locations with Category II type of protected areas that defines “National Park” per International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA). So far, there is not a single website or mobile app dedicated to the World’s National Parks where all the information about the parks is available on a map. If any user wants to search information about the world’s national parks, he or she will have to rely on Wikipedia, TripAdvisor, travel blogs, or find the park’s official website. Searching for a list of World National Parks on online search engines usually returns an incomplete Wikipedia page or short list of well-known or well publicized National Parks. That makes the search very difficult and doesn’t give all the information. Also, there is not a single database or API with all the world’s national parks on the Internet. We’ve created The World’s National Parks website and mobile application that provides a brief information and a map of all the National Parks. Mobile Application has features like finding parks nearby and directions.

- IT security teams at small companies are often understaffed and overworked, according to a survey published by Sophos (June 2019). ReapRE is an automated malware analysis tool designed to assist analysts at small businesses. Unlike other costly solutions, the analyst will not have to worry about potential confidential data leakage resulting from a 3rd party application breach, as everything will be hosted internally. A potentially malicious document will be uploaded by an analyst into a locally hosted instance of our application, where it will then be run against a stack of malware analysis tools. A summarized report will be given to the analyst based on its findings and a list of indicators of compromise (hashes, IPs, URLs, domains, etc.). After review, the analyst is able to import the IOCs into a local database, Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP).

- Description/Abstract:
- According to IEEE, agile methodologies have drive organizations to alter their infrastructure at an ever-increasing rate. Thus, it is important to also accelerate the deployment time for external monitoring systems to provide fast and continuous feedback to security, development, and infrastructure teams. VMware's vCenter is a product that, according to VMware's hardening guides, requires external monitoring from the moment it is put into production. Existing solutions (e.g. SexiGraf, psview, and checkmk) do not adhere to infrastructure-as-code principals, and are instead deployed as complex, monolithic and non-integrating applications. In response to this need, we built OmegaGraf, a one-click vCenter monitoring solution. OmegaGraf is an entirely open-source, containerized solution, confused and deployed through a simple web interface, providing dynamic dashboards, granular time series data, environment aggregation, and alerting. Best of all, OmegaGraf is deployable in under five minutes, allowing IT professionals to provide value to their organization faster than ever before.

- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- According to research done by IEEE (2016), “recording attendance is inefficient and takes up too much class time especially with larger groups of students,” and if attendance takes 5 minutes of a 45 minute period, that means that 10% of class time is lost taking attendance. Another research report completed by UC Berkley (2017) stated that time in class is when students are most productive. Important class time is wasted taking attendance, so being able to remove the amount of time taken by attendance would be beneficial to students. AutoAttend assisted with this issue by using a fingerprint scanner to sign students into the classroom. AutoAttend saved time taking attendance, which helped improve student performance.

- Extreme Makeover: Tech Edition is an initiative to help a small business develop a technology presence. According to the Small Business Administration, approximately 33% of all small business owners are 35-49 years old and 51% are 50-88 years old. Studies, such as the “Older Adults and Technology Use” study conducted by Pew Research Center, have shown that the majority of older adults need assistance when learning new technology. At the rate that technology progresses, some business owners do not know where to start. The owner of Four Source Restoration and Remodeling fell into this category. Kelly Winhoven is a 48-year-old, small business owner with limited technology skills. Winhoven was looking for a way to improve the technology within his small business. Our team partnered with him to achieve this goal. We created a website to enhance and increase customer engagement. We built a database to organize the data structure to ease management and optimize data. We secured the company’s network and devices to protect the company from threats and vulnerabilities. We also modernized the company’s logo and gave them a social media presence. All these factors came together to create a full business technology makeover for Four Source Restoration and Remodeling.

- Description/Abstract:
- The Internet of Things is an emerging market that is expected to grow to 43 billion devices by 2023.[1] This exponential growth comes with security concerns, as 80% of devices including cloud and mobile applications fail to require complex passwords, and 70% of devices did not encrypt traffic to and from its connected network.[2] Identifying the security risks can be difficult, since every network has a different combination of devices. The use of PotPi’s testing ground for emerging IoT devices provides the necessary foresight to combat the increasing number of security threats in homes and workplaces worldwide. PotPi provides this service to a growing industry and creates targeted objectives to reduce security concerns by allowing the community to discover vulnerabilities and be rewarded for doing so. Creating a game-like platform is not a new concept. In fact, there are many companies that have adopted this concept due to its increased user interaction and ability to relate to the audience it is trying to reach. Giving the community a way to show their progress and accomplishments gives companies data on what is working and what needs to be changed. More incentive to complete objectives leads to more solutions and a better market.

- UC Route Assistant is a mobile web application that allows the user to input their schedule and needs and determines the most optimal appropriate route for them to take on campus. This application was originally inspired by the vast quantity of new students coming to the University of Cincinnati each year. With over 7,000 new first year students in the 2019 fall semester, it is apparent that there is a need for assistance navigating the large campus. We built a mobile web application that enables the user to upload their course schedules, extracurricular activities, and accessibility preferences. UC Route Assistant processes this information and leverages Google Maps Application Programming Interface (API) to determine the fastest route that the user can take in order to reach their various destinations, while accounting for accessibility preferences and other major on-campus events. This results in less headaches having to reroute, less surprises running into blockades, and overall reduced travel time for the user.

In applying DevSecOps best practices early, companies can not only catch and fix security problems early but train their teams in what to avoid in the future. For those organizations that implement DevSecOps, it is found to be implemented during the beginning stages of their software development projects. Most of which is focused on identifying and displaying the source of security misconfigurations. AutoDSO will base their security best practice requirements based off the OWASP DevSecOps model. AutoDSO takes DevSecOps a step further by focusing on establishing security baseline requirements and allowing the users to select metrics specific to their DevSecOps policies and procedures. The application generates an automated DevSecOps policy document which can be used by security analyst and given to auditors to monitor a company’s DevSecOps processes. This allows companies an efficient way to document their security best practices and ensuring that security becomes a part of continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) in their organization.

- Description/Abstract:
- Gaming has become less social than ever, with 67% of gamers strictly playing solo, while the rest are constantly connecting to games full of random players (Forbes). We want to create a way for gamers to reconnect with each other by finding out they have a similar taste in games as their friends. With the influx of new game releases, it can be difficult to keep track who wants to play what. Co-op Queue will be an application that has all new games imported into it, allowing users to tag which games they like. This marks whether or not they’re interested in playing that game. Then, once the user indicates that they are interested in a game, it will automatically inform them of their friends who are also interested in the game and give the user an opportunity to message them. Helping more people to fill their co-op queue.

- Description/Abstract:
- Five out of every six home router devices are inadequately updated, leaving sensitive data and connected devices unprotected from known vulnerabilities. The American Consumer Institute Center for Citizen Research released this information after the FBI sent out a warning in the 2018, stating hackers from Russia had successfully compromised hundreds of thousands of routers and were collecting user information. Users treat routers as plug and play devices where, once installed, they are left sitting with no further configurations made. However, blame does not fall solely on the user. ISPs and manufacturers fail to educate their customers of the proper steps to take after installation. NetLock was created with the user in mind, to act as a guide and walkthrough after router installation. Once connected to the router and opened via desktop application, NetLock will assist the user with proper setting configuration while providing network security best practices throughout the setup

- Business communications are becoming more and more demanding as technology continues to advance in our ever-changing world. VOIP communications allow a business to stay connected with a reliable and flexible method of handling their telecommunication needs. However, VOIP must have optimal networking conditions for it to work properly and reliably. We created a solution to allow businesses to stay connected while minimizing any impacts they may have on their everyday communications. Using Dynamic routing we were able to shift network traffic from overloaded VOIP servers in order to keep communications up and running. According to PriceItHere.com VOIP Solutions can cost $20 to $40 per month per user, which can add up fast. We were able to keep costs low by using open-source software. The result is a quick and reliable VOIP solution that can handle large amounts of traffic and keeps client costs low.

- Description/Abstract:
- Ten billion IoT devices will be added to consumer home networks by 2020 (Leuth, 2018), with little regard for security. Users are unaware of what it takes to secure their networks and there are currently no security standards in place to hold manufacturers accountable. HomeKOP raises awareness of security issues amongst users and equips them with the right tools to secure their smart home networks. We conducted a vulnerability assessment of smart home networks, gauged consumer awareness using surveys, and created a set of standards for IoT devices. Based on the set of standards, we developed a risk score calculation system that helps users visualize risk. We then built onto the Mozilla Web of Things Gateway that employs a user-friendly dashboard to monitor these devices as they are added to a network, creates a risk score based on how well these devices meet the HomeKOP standards and walks users through securing their networks. HomeKOP is revolutionizing the world of security by putting the user back in control.

- Type:

- Description/Abstract:
- Phishing Emails are a problem as ubiquitous as email itself. According to Digital Guardian, over 90% of all cyber attacks now start with a phishing message (Guest, 2017). Additionally, with over 12% of targets clicking on any given phishing message (Verizon, 13), and 95% of all attacks on enterprise networks begin as a result of spear phishing, it is critical to not only know who clicks on these links, but also when a link was clicked. While there are many tools trying to prevent the message from ever getting in, only Hypersafe will enable instant visibility and scoping when a message inevitably gets through. This is accomplished by intercepting all inbound messages to a target’s email system, and then scanning messages for spam and malicious content, and then replacing every link contained within the message with a custom link that points to the Hypersafe Link Resolution Service. When a user clicks on a link, they first go through the Link Resolution Service to ensure that the link has not been identified as a phishing or otherwise malicious message. If the link is clean, then the user is seamlessly redirected to their intended target. If the link is malicious, the user is redirected to an education and awareness page, thus hindering the attack. In order to ensure reliable service, Hypersafe is built atop the proven Amazon Web Services Platform to enable best in class availability, scalability, and security. The email processing and link resolution services are serverless, enabling Hypersafe to scale without any administrative burden and also cost very little to operate. Finally, there is a web administration portal that administrators can use to interact with the service to manually flag links, senders, and domains as malicious as well as view statistics on who has clicked on a certain link. By taking the uncertainty of email away from the user, Hypersafe will be an invaluable partner in each customer’s defense toolkit.

- Passwords are not safe, and create vulnerabilities, yet, we rely heavily on them in nearly everything we do. A good password will exceed 10 characters, use a combination of numbers, upper case, lower case, and special characters. Good practice tells us not to reuse passwords. This is a lot to remember when accessing various tools and accounts in our work and private lives. Can a large company trust that a person is not using the same password when accessing company assets as they are at home? This issue is solved by using a MAGIK STICK as a multifactor authentication device that eliminates the need for employees to remember passwords for a company network. MAGIK STICK solves this conundrum by authenticating users via biometrics and generating a token for accessing applications and devices. This token is based on a TOTP (time based one-time password) algorithm.

- Gartner reports that there will be around 20.8 billion [IoT devices] by 2020. Among these devices are countless vulnerabilities and security concerns. As of now, there is no single device that remediates those vulnerabilities or even detects them. The Mirai botnet incident took countless websites offline and affected millions of people. What if there was a device that could have detected this sort of activity? Our product would have thwarted an attack of this type via network monitoring of each IoT device on a user’s home network. Our product would function as a plug and play device and would be able to detect abnormal IoT network activity. The objective is to ensure the devices are only operating based on necessity. This gives the owners peace of mind that their IoT devices are functioning normally. The number of IoT devices is going to surpass the number of mobile phones and computers in the coming years. This will require the need for additional security measures similar to that of antivirus. Our product is a step in the right direction for securing these devices

- In 2015, the sale of tabletop games by small publishers topped $1 billion in the United States and Canada for the first time.1 In 2017, this total skyrocketed above $1.5 billion.2 In an age where digital screens are often uncomfortably pervasive, people have a growing desire for human contact away from technology. The explosive popularity of tabletop gaming showcases this very clearly. Currently, an average of over 10 tabletop games are being published each day, a staggering number.3 Due to the ever-growing number of choices, it can be very difficult to select a game that everyone will enjoy playing. To address this issue, the GameNight mobile application helps the members of a group select a range of games from their collection by breaking games down into their mechanical components, and then searching for a common interest for the group by looking for a commonly occurring mechanic. The application then suggests games that utilize this mechanic, providing an experience that everyone at the table will enjoy. The application can be used in multiple ways: for example, a user can designate games they already own as being in their collection, or they can designate games they are considering purchasing, using it as a purchasing aid. GameNight saves time and energy that can be better spent getting straight to gaming!

The Smart Assistant was a powerful QnA bot that provided more accurate search results for to UC-related questions by leveraging Azure’s powerful AI system, tracking users when he/she interacts with the bot and remembering what solutions he/she selects for similar questions by future users. It was built on the Azure Cognitive Services platform and featured language recognition for similarly worded questions, a robust cloud network that can be scaled up/down as needed, and self-learning technology that required little maintenance by administrators

- “In 2016, Researchers from the University of Illinois left 297 unlabeled USB flash drives around the university campus to see what would happen. 98% of the dropped drives were picked up by staff and students, and at least half were plugged into a computer in order to view the content. For a hacker trying to infect a computer network, those are irresistible odds” (Kaspersky Labs). Plug-and-play (PNP) technologies have become very common in today’s world, but there’s no reliable way to ensure that everything plugged into a computer will play nicely. Operating System Customs (OSC) aims to maintain the “plug-and-play” name by introducing a new layer to ensuring that everything plugged in is verified as 100% safe. This project ensures your computer’s safety as well as your network’s, identifying your external medium and scanning it to verify if a virus/malware was installed without your knowledge. After the scan, it’s either verified to be safe or dangerous and lists off any discovered corrupt files. OSC allows users to operate in a safe network and grant system administrators peace of mind.

- Many people dread calling up their cell phone company, electric company or any other company with an automated answering system to fix an issue. Currently, the only way to call them is to call and listen through the options before you hear the option you need which is a waste of time. Based on an article on www.westuc.com, the average consumer can expect to spend around 43 days of their life waiting on hold listening to the automated answering machine. Our Phone Call Enhancement App is a way to make this process easier. The app will have a list of companies and their phone number with department information. Once you select the department the number will open in your phone app ready to be dialed. Once you hit the call button the call will be sent to the specific department of your choice, so you do not have to listen through all the options. Having this application available to users will avoid time wastage waiting when calling companies with automated answering machines.

80. VR Data Center
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- Many people envision the cloud as a service that “just works”. What most do not realize though, is that the “cloud” is in fact a co-location center, a building housing a massive datacenter that is willing to provide its resources to companies for an annual cost. Someone needs to maintain these co-location centers, and when searching, recruiters often look for someone with experience. Acquiring enterprise level, hands-on experience for the job can be both quite expensive and hard to come across. VR Datacenter (VDC) plans to fix this. VDC is an application that leverages users’ consumer hardware to simulate an enterprise level environment. VDC aims to allow users to create assets that not only appear physically in the virtual reality environment, but also have functionality tied into a VMWare vSphere server environment. This includes controlling device connectivity, power, rackmount location (RU), readouts from the virtual machines (VMs), etc. VDC plans to better define the breadth of knowledge that an entry level IT administrator possesses.

- Description/Abstract:
- Keeping up with new music and finding similar songs to our favorite tunes is hard. That’s why we developed Hullabaloo! Hullabaloo is an online music scraping web app featuring regular audio player controls like shuffle, skipping, volume, and more. Hullabaloo collects data on popular music from websites like YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud, Reddit, etc. With this data, Hullabaloo will display trending songs. The songs list of the site allows users to browse top songs immediately or a user can further customize the music displayed with sources and playlists. Users are able to add their own sources for Hullabaloo to scrape songs from and then create playlists broken down by genre, artist, mood, length, or popularity. An important feature of Hullabaloo is allowing music tracks from different sources to be added to the same playlists, so a user can listen to a song from Soundcloud, following one from YouTube. With a focus on new and popular music, Hullabaloo updates the songs it displays every couple hours to keep up with the changing landscape of tunes. Hullabaloo is planned to be a cross-platform service, reaching those on Android and iOS mobile devices.

- The use of a free, web-based tool for speech pathologists has economic and environmental benefits, yet few currently exist. Speech language pathologists often have limited budgets to buy supplies. Sticker books, flash-cards, and “fill in the blank” booklets are the primary items used by professionals. These tools break down, with some even being one-use. The result is that teachers often spend their own time and money creating their own solutions. Our team decided to create a web-based application that mimics the exercises in already existing paper products. Such applications do exist, but the quality apps cost around $70.00 per year. Our project, Click.Pic.Communicate will be free. It will alleviate economic burdens on teachers and speech pathologists while also reducing the waste of paper product.

- Description/Abstract:
- The rise of smart home devices has allowed a cheap alternative to in-home security systems.With the increasing variety of different branded smart home devices such as lights, switches, motion sensors, and IP cameras, issues have become prevalent when trying to get the smart devices to work together. Many smart devices require a user to install a specific app based on the brand of the smart device. When more than one smart device from different brands is being used, this results in many smart device apps with no easy way to manage all smart devices together. Using an open source application called Home Assistant, our product will allow even a non-tech savvy user to easily manage all of their devices within one easy to use application. The user will be able to fill out an online form which will automatically create a Home Assistant instance that is configured precisely to the smart devices they have. This will allow users to quickly and easily set up a cheap in-home security system.

- With over 250,000 unique logins per day, Kroger Citrix requires significant administrative resources. Ticket counts periodically exceed the capacity of the Kroger Support Center (KSC) - most issues are simple but have time consuming fixes. To reduce overhead, this team intends to implement a tool for KSC members that will streamline functions such as: (1) resetting Citrix users’ profiles, (2) verifying Citrix entitlements, and (3) viewing user Active Directory information. An additional goal is to enable KSC members to resolve an increased number of tickets without the need for escalation. This team predicts a recovery of approximately ten to fifteen minutes per incident, providing significant cost and time savings. Reduced overhead will allow more resources for investigating potential access violations and improving account controls.

- Current claim-check technology relies on a numbered, two-part paper ticket. But, according to the New York Times, anywhere from 5 to 20 percent of patrons who check items, lose their tickets (Bruni, 2018). TagIT will replace these fragile paper tickets and streamline the item check-in process using common handheld devices and wireless access to cloud computing. With TagIT, an attendant will create a unique record for each patron, adding images of the checked items using a smartphone or tablet’s onboard camera. The attendant will select the item image and scan the storage bin Quick Response Code, or QR code, in which the item is stored. When all items have been imaged and added to the record, the patron will receive an E-mail with a Web link to the record. The images, QR codes, and bin identification are now part of the patron’s record and can be viewed and verified using the link. The link will also provide a means to request the return of the checked items. And if a patron forgets to retrieve an item, TagIT will provide the means to contact the patron with retrieval instructions.

- The use of Phishing Audit System has the potential to train and educate organizations and their employees to be more proactive when dealing with phishing emails. Phishing is the leading cause of cyber-attacks around the world and is increasing each year. Phishing comes in the form of an email that is made to look like it’s coming from a trusted source but contains malware or takes you to an illegitimate website to steal personal information. Our solution to reduce the number of attacks is to create the Phishing Audit System. This system creates a customized, scheduled, and automated phishing simulation. This allows you to track the progress of users understanding and interacting with phishing emails. Additionally, this system provides users with the necessary training material to identify the phishing attacks.

- Fortune 500 companies need a simple, single solution to help them track their progress towards their Social Responsibility goals. To make the social responsibility value come to life, companies allow their employees to take paid time off to volunteer. Companies also sponsor community outreach events via employee-led Business Resource Groups (BRGs). Today, most companies don’t have a single solution or single source of truth that tracks where the company’s money or employee volunteer time is going. To solve that problem, our team created Employees Becoming Neighbors. Our product is a “one-stop shop” for companies to track their employees’ paid volunteer time off and give their BRGs a tool to manage their community events. Our product also gives company Executives one place to run reports to see how their company is meeting their goals. We are doing this because we wanted to make a product that meets a real-world need and applies to the private sector.

Metadata can provide information including the creation date, geolocation, software used to create the file and more ‒ which can be useful for many users in the information security field. We created Metaforge to fill the gap in the information gathering arsenal to provide the user with a clean and efficient program. The application includes a simple GUI that creates a dynamic HTML report with multiple pages that displays raw and filtered metadata and a useful statistics page. Current existing metadata tools are outdated and unmaintained which results in a difficult user experience. The capabilities Metaforge includes are detailed metadata analysis, a practical report, and efficient functionality with the final outcome of a positive user experience.

- Spam Detection over Encrypted Emails with Intel SGX Emails play a pivotal role in business and everyday communication. There are millions of email messages being sent each day that contain incredibly sensitive information. This sensitive data can be easily parsed by passive attackers on an email server. Leveraging Intel’s SGX we can mitigate this problem by using enclaves. These are private regions of memory that are protected from processes running at higher privilege levels. Decrypting emails using SGX on an Encrypted mail server makes it much more difficult for passive attackers to get any useful data. On top of that this solution takes into account that sender reputation filters are not very effective since it is quite easy for an email address to be compromised. Decrypting emails via Intel SGX improves the general security of Emails on servers where it is running.

94. Maneuvr VR
- Type:
- StudentWork
- Description/Abstract:
- The training that is required in the manufacturing industry is costly and dangerous. When a new employee is hired, a senior, more experienced employee must take time to train them. This leads to slower production and an increased cost in labor. There are also significant risks when the new employee is interacting with heavy machinery. The new employee does not likely have the knowledge of how to use the machinery and is at a higher risk of injuring themselves or others. Maneuvr VR is a VR solution that solves these problems. It’s simulation can supplement job training in a way that other mediums cannot. This allows for the more skilled employees to spend more time in the production environment and reduces the risk compared to traditional training. The environment will feel familiar to the new employee and will result in a higher level of professional confidence.

- According to mediapost.com, the average American will own 13 internet connected devices by 20211. That means a family of 4 will have close to 50 devices connected to their home network. In the current climate of large-scale vulnerabilities, ransomware, and other digital threats, how can we protect our devices, and those of their family members, when we may not even know exactly what is connected to our network? Vigil is a home network sentry that constantly monitors and scans every device connected to your wireless network and sends an alert when it detects an outdated or vulnerable device and when a new, unrecognized device connects to the network. Vigil allows its users complete transparency into the devices on their network, and also offers easy to understand, actionable information to non-technical users. This paper summarizes the process and technical details for the development of Vigil and its real-world usage data

- According to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, an estimated 36 million people are blind and an additional 217 million have moderate to severe visual impairment. This means that a total of 253 million individuals must rely on their four available senses, primarily touch, in order to perceive their surroundings. One major limitation of this is that the individual must be within arm’s reach (or cane’s reach) in order to determine what is in front of them. Iris changes this by providing a mobile application with a voice-controlled user interface to improve environmental awareness for the blind. With Iris, users are able to take a picture and have the application describe it to them with additional information on specific entities within the picture if requested. Through accessibility features and the power of machine learning, Iris is an extension to the user’s senses.

- Critical infrastructure are the systems deemed necessary to live with our current modern standards. These systems require a combination of support systems and SCADA systems that control the machinery to provide us our essentials we take for granted such as power and water. Qualified cybersecurity professionals are becoming increasingly more difficult to find to defend these networks. We created a learning tool to help facilitate college student’s knowledge of defending critical infrastructure, and as we know, the best way to defend is to learn how the attacker will think. This tool consists of a series of virtual machines within two sub scenarios, a water treatment plant and a power plant. Students will be able to conduct penetration tests of these in a simulated environment in order to learn more about critical infrastructure and how to defend it.

- Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the two leading cloud solution services in a market worth $18.2 billion in 2016, and it is expected to worth $40 billion by the end of 2018. Microsoft’s Azure market share has grown from 8.7% in 2016 to 29.4% in 2018 thanks, in large part, to their cloud-first strategy in recent years. Many enterprises have been left cloudlocked, leaving them stuck working with either AWS or Azure due to budget and time restrictions, while some larger enterprises utilize both AWS and Azure. Being able to securely and cheaply switch between cloud services today will save companies time and money, as well as keep their options open if one works better for them than the other. Thunder Cloud will help solve this cloud lock issue between AWS and Azure for companies by taking data from one service, converting it the format of the other, and then uploading it to that platform

- Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person can travel in the same car. Due to the increase in population and the rapid increase in urbanization, there are many problems in transportation. This tends to problems like an increase in the number of vehicles on the road, traffic, pollution, parking problems, and stress. To overcome these hurdles, we developed “Uride” a web-based car sharing application that will allow travelers to post and search if vehicles are available for carpool in their desired path. Uride is an alternative to existing services that aims to connect travelers in order to share transportation costs and reduce stress on their next scheduled trip. This will enable people using this application to share their everyday expenditure on traveling, not worry about hiring a cab.
