DEALER: decentralized incentives for threat intelligence reporting and exchange

The exchange of threat intelligence information can make a significant contribution to improving IT security in companies and has become increasingly important in recent years. However, such an exchange also entails costs and risks, preventing many companies from participating. In addition, since legal reporting requirements were introduced in various countries, certain requirements must be taken into account in the exchange process. However, existing exchange platforms neither offer incentives to participate in the exchange process, nor fulfill requirements resulting from reporting obligations. With this work, we present a decentralized platform for the exchange of threat intelligence information. The platform supports the fulfillment of legal reporting obligations for security incidents and provides additional incentives for information exchange between the parties involved. We evaluate the platform by implementing it based on the EOS blockchain and IPFS distributed hash table. The prototype and cost measurements demonstrate the feasibility and cost-efficiency of our concept.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DO ODONTOLEGISTA E DOCUMENTAÇÃO ODONTOLÓGICA PARA RESOLUÇÕES PERICIAIS JURÍDICAS E FORENSE

A odontologia legal é uma especialidade imprescindível para soluções de casos jurídicos por negligência ou imprudência no ramo da odontologia, em processos éticos e pode estar relacionada a atuação da busca pela identidade biológica, como identificação de corpos não identificados com auxílio de documentos odontológicos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi conhecer, através de revisão da literatura, a atuação do cirurgião-dentista especialista em Odontologia Legal dentro de sua capacidade na identificação humana e utilização da documentação odontológica, bem como negligência na publicidade e exposição inadequada de paciente. Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura artigos científicos dos últimos 10 anos. Sobre a odontologia legal e documentação odontológica, foi observado que a atuação do dentista elevou os conhecimentos específicos da equipe, melhorando o desdobramento dos casos, e toda documentação de origem odontológica foi muito importante para chegar a conclusões e definições de laudos periciais, possibilitando que a corpos não identificados fosse dado, então, sua real identidade e processos jurídicos fossem esclarecidos. Conclui-se que a atuação da odontologia legal dá um acréscimo bastante expressivo nos resultados dos quais participam, e toda equipe de forense deveria contar com um dentista para alavancar seus conhecimentos e dar mais resultados na busca pela verdade e identidade de cadáver. THE IMPORTANCE OF FORENSIC ODONTOLOGISTS AND DENTAL RECORDS TO FORENSIC AND LEGAL RESOLUTIONS ABSTRACT Forensic Dentistry is an important dental science to legal investigations of negligence or recklessness cases in ethical processes and can be related to the search for biological identity, such as identification of unidentified bodies with the aid of dental records. This paper aimed to understand, through literature review, the performance of dental surgeons in Forensic Dentistry in terms of her/his capacity for human identification and use of dental records, as well as negligence in the publicity and inadequate exposition of the patient. It is a literature review of scientific papers from the last 10 years. It was used the database LILACS SciELO, by means of the descriptors “Forensic Dentistry; Forensic Anthropology; Legal liability”. Concerning Forensic Dentistry and dental records, it was observed that the dentist’s performance increased the dental team’s specific knowledge, improving the development of cases and all documentation of odontological origin was important to achieve conclusions and definitions of legal reporting, making possible that unidentified bodies have their real identity and legal processes would be resolved. It is concluded that forensic dentistry gives an improvement in the results of the cases that they enroll, and all the forensic team should have one forensic dentist to raise their knowledge and give more results in the search for the truth and body identity.

The Transmission of Legal Precedent: A Study of State Supreme Courts

In the course of making and justifying decisions, judges on state supreme courts often rely on precedents from other jurisdictions. These judicial references across boundaries constitute at least one means of communication and, in turn, demonstrate a complex web of deference and derogation between and among various courts. I attempt to uncover patterns of citation between the several state supreme courts and to evaluate alternative explanations for these patterns, including distance between courts; similarity of political culture; the prestige, professionalism, legal capital, and caseload of the cited court; the social diversity of the environment; differentials between courts on a number of dimensions; and presence in the same legal reporting region. More globally, I ask: Does the intensity of communications between a pair of courts result from the characteristics of the cited court or from differences and similarities between courts or jurisdictions? The results indicate the importance of legal reporting districts, distance between the courts, cultural linkages between the jurisdictions and, especially, characteristics of the cited court.
