We unified the authentication ID to "Kanazawa University ID", which is a lifelong ID, both for the online services in our university and those served by "GakuNin (the Academic Access Management Federation in Japan) in order to improve the convenience of the users by realizing the seamless environment between these services. Furthermore, we renewed the comprehensive information system in the university in FY2011 changing over the server group to a virtual environment aiming at the improvement of the availability. In the present paper, we describe the adaptation method ofKanazawa University ID to GakuNin environment. We also introduce the unified authentication service constructed on the virtual environment. Finally we show the operational results of the developed system and discuss our future works.

We propose a method to quantitatively grasp the cost of the information security incident including the labor cost when the information security management system (ISMS) is introduced. In order to execute several corrective and preventive actions within a limited budget, we need some indicators to compare the level of urgency or importance on each action. The amount of a loss generated by the incident is one of the key indicators. The total amount of loss shall consist of not only the loss directly caused by the incident such as broken equipments and lost profits, but also the indirect cost to recover to the original state. In the organization that adopts the individual cost management including the working hours management like the activity-based management etc., the cost of each event can be understood as a cost including the labor cost. But if the organization does not adopt such accounting, calculating the cost of individual incidents is extremely difficult. However, to calculate the amount required, such values for certain criteria in the organization is possible. By calculating the total value of the amount required by these factors as a incident cost, we can compare the magnitude of the multiple incident in the organization. We applied the proposed method to constructing ISMS in Yamaguchi University, and confirmed the effectiveness.

Information Media center of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology take place ”university information seminars for freshmen”in every April(the first month of fiscal year). In the seminar of this year, using a questionnaire to all freshmen, the authors evaluated the way of learning in their high school age, the degree of acquisition of the skills of ICT devices and the level of media literacy. As a result, it was found that their ability did not cover the goals of the educational subject ”Information Studies”of Japanese National Curriculum guideline for high school. Their ability, also, was insufficient to the ability of utilization of ICT devices which is needed in university student daily life. They had a lack of the ability of setting up own PC, and they did not know the term of ”media literacy”and they did not learn the statistics.
