A persona is a voice
or mask that an author, speaker, or performer puts on for a particular purpose. Plural: personae or personas.
Persona comes from the Latin word meaning "mask," and may also be
referred to as an implied author or an artificial author.
Author Katherine Anne Porter
explained the relation between writing style and persona: "A
cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it's a mask, and sooner
or later you must show yourself — or at least, you show yourself as someone who
could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind"
(Writers at Work, 1963). Similarly, essayist E.B. White observed that writing "is a
form of imposture. I'm not at all sure I am anything like the person I seem to
a reader."
Various
Observations on Persona
- "[L]ike the 'I' of the lyric and of the real and
invented autobiography, the 'I' of the essayist is a mask."
(Joseph P. Clancy, "The Literary Genres in Theory and Practice." College English, April 1967) - "The artful 'I' of an essay can be as chameleon as any narrator in fiction."(Edward Hoagland, "What I Think, What I Am")
- "He who speaks is not he who writes, and he who
writes is not he who is.”
(Roland Barthes, quoted by Arthur Krystal in Except When I Write. Oxford University Press, 2011) - "You may rely on it that you have the best of me in my books, and that I am not worth seeing personally — the stuttering, blundering, clod-hopper that I am."(Henry David Thoreau, letter to Calvin H. Greene, February 10, 1856)
- "Writing is a form of imposture. I'm not at all
sure I am anything like the person I seem to a reader. . . .
"[T]he man on paper is always a more admirable character than his creator, who is a miserable creature of nose colds, minor compromises, and sudden flights into nobility. . . . I suppose readers who feel friendly toward someone whose work they like seldom realize that they are drawn more toward a set of aspirations than toward a human being."
(E.B. White, Letters of E.B. White, ed. by Dorothy Lobrano Guth. Harper, 1976) - "[T]he 'person' in a personal essay is a written construct,
a fabricated thing, a character of sorts--the sound of its voice a
byproduct of carefully chosen words, its recollection of experience, its
run of thought and feeling, much tidier than the mess of memories,
thoughts, and feelings arising in one's consciousness. . . . Indeed, when
personal essayists write about self-embodiment in the essay, they often
acknowledge an element of fabrication or of artful impersonation."
(Carl H. Klaus, The Made-Up Self: Impersonation in the Personal Essay. University of Iowa Press, 2010)
Perlman
on Person and Persona
- "Persona is the Latin word for the masks
used in the Greek drama. It meant that the actor was heard and his
identity recognized by others through the sounds that issued from the open
mask mouth. From it the word 'person' emerged to express the idea of a
human being who meant something, who represented something, and who
seemed to have some defined connectedness with others by action or
affects. (We still use 'person' to connote this: we say of an infant who
begins to show awareness of self in relation to others, 'He's becoming a person.')
A person makes himself known, felt, taken in by others, through his
particular roles and their functions. Some of his personae — his masks —
are readily detachable and put aside, but others become fused with his
skin and bone."
(Helen Harris Perlman, Persona: Social Role and Personality. University of Chicago Press, 1986)

air
gapping
|
| Air
gapping is a security measure that involves physically isolating a
computer or network to prevent it from connecting directly or wirelessly to
other systems that can connect to the Internet. Air gapping is used to
protect many types of critical systems, including those that support the
stock market, the military, the government and industrial power industries.
To prevent unauthorized data extrusion
through electromagnetic or electronic exploits, there must be a specified
amount of space between the air-gapped system and outside walls and between
its wires and the wires for other technical equipment. In the United States,
the U.S. National Security Agency TEMPEST project provides best practices for
using air gaps as a security measure.
For a system with extremely sensitive data,
a Faraday cage can be used to prevent electromagnetic radiation (EMR) escaping
from the air-gapped equipment. Although such measures may seem extreme, van
Eck phreaking can be used to intercept data such as key strokes or screen
images from demodulated EMR waves, using special equipment from some distance
away. Other proof-of-concept (POC) attacks for air- gapped systems have shown
that electromagnetic emanations from infected sound cards on isolated
computers can be exploited and continuous wave irradiation can be used to
reflect and gather information from isolated screens, keyboards and other
computer components.
As of this writing, the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is awarding grants for prototype hardware
and software designs that will keep sensitive data physically isolated. The
grants are made possible under the Guaranteed Architecture for Physical
Security (GAPS) program.
Enhancing air-gapped security
measures
The problem with physical separation as a
security technique is that, as complexity increases in some system or network
to be isolated, so does the likelihood that some unknown or unauthorized
external connection will arise.
Perhaps the most important way to protect a
computing device or network from an air gap attack is through end user
security awareness training. The infamous Stuxnet worm, which was designed to
attack air-gapped industrial control systems, is thought to have been
introduced by infected thumb drives found by employees or obtained as free
giveaways.
The software-defined
perimeter (SDP) framework is another tool network engineers can use to create
a type of "virtual air gapping" through policy enforcement. SDP
requires external endpoints that want to access internal infrastructure to
comply with authentication policies and ensures that only authenticated
systems can see internal IP addresses. |
