However, this number also includes growing numbers of criminal history background searches requested by federal and state governments and others for various permit, license, and employment clearances, in addition to federal employment applications and military service. Congress permits the FBI to charge a user fee for some of these search services. For example, the INS is one of the FBI s largest customers for fingerprint checks for non-law enforcement purposes. INS pays $25 to the FBI for each fingerprint check. For fiscal year 1996, INS paid the FBI $32.5 million to conduct fingerprint checks for benefit applications, with approximately $19.5 million spent for naturalization applications. If the criminal history background search reveals that the individual has past criminal involvement, the fingerprint record becomes part of the criminal master file database. In the case of federal employees and military members, along with others, if the search reveals no criminal history, the fingerprint record is kept in the CJIS civil files database.

Two fundamental string-handling operations are split and join. A split decomposes a string into its constituent parts. A join constructs a string from a set of parts. To split a string, String defines Split( ). To join a set of strings, String provides Join( ). There are several versions of Split( ). Two commonly used forms, which have been available since C# 1.0, are shown here: public string[ ] Split(params char[ ] seps) public string[ ] Split(params char[ ] seps, int count)

as Adobe Premiere, Media100 or Final Cut Pro. The input video clips to be edited must be readable by the software package. You also need a package for producing special effects, such as the industrial-strength Adobe After Effects. Other software packages needed for prepping the les include Adobe Photoshop and a sound editor such as Sound Forge, SoundEdit or Bias' Peak.

Generally, there are three types of Blu-ray Disc players j CE (consumer electronics) standalone, or settop, players, j software players in computer systems with a BD drive, and j Game consoles, such as the Sony PlayStation 3, that have a BD player. The three player varieties have very different capabilities in terms of processing power, memory/storage, and graphics support. Settop players are targeted for the living room with the main purpose of watching movies, where interactivity provides a heightened user experience and offers new viewing features. However, a settop player is not designed to be a gaming device, while a game console can provide excellent graphics with a lot of fast-paced interactivity, transporting the game player to a different world. Yet, a game console requires more processing and graphics power which means higher cost. The second playback environment, software players in computer systems or media centers, provides a lot of processing power and memory but may not have the graphics power of a game console. A computer system provides a more powerful playback environment than a settop player, but the settop is generally targeted to only playback movies. The mandatory playback capabilities for players are j Video decoder circuitry for MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and SMPTE VC-1 j Encoded frame rates of 23.976, 24, 29.97, and 59.94 (25 and 50 are optional) j Audio reproduction capability for j Dolby Digital (AC-3), at least two channels j DTS Digital Surround , at least two channels j Linear PCM (LPCM) at 48 and 96 kHz, at least two channels There are three optional audio formats for Blu-ray Disc j Dolby Digital Plus, up to 7.1 channels j Dolby TrueHD, up to 7.1 channels j DTS-HD Audio , up to 7.1 channels Customers should arm themselves with a list of criteria matched to their viewing needs. Criteria for evaluating player performance spans a diverse list of player characteristics such as, but not limited to, the following j Disc loading time j Disc access time to playlists or switching applications j Graphic image loading j Audio format options j Persistent storage capacity and speed j CPU performance Judging player performance is extremely subjective, and the enduser should recognize that their expected primary player usage should be the major contributor to their player decision. Gamers expect a level of player performance that is very different from that of a passive occupant of a favorite couch or armchair.

TABLE 2-2

After the nature of a control failure is confirmed, the auditor can assess its residual risk. Certain failures will introduce a relatively limited amount of risk, such as identifying low-access accounts that are not compliant with a password policy. Other failures can be highly material and require immediate attention. An example of a material failure could be: Auditors are performing tests of network security controls. When testing a requirement that employees use VPN for external access, auditors learn that RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) traffic is permitted through the firewall and enabled on workstations. Inquiry reveals that a number of IT personnel work from home and that they access their workstations remotely using RDP. The residual risk is that unencrypted traffic, including authentications, is permitted through the firewall and potentially visible to third parties. This is clearly a material breach of compliance with policies and compromises network security controls. An example of how different exceptions from the same test could result in different levels of residual risk is depicted in Table A-3. In Table A-3, the high-risk example would definitely be brought to the attention of the report s audience; however, it would be up to the auditor whether to do more than mention medium- and low-risk exceptions to management.
