Although the Internet is progressing rapidly in recent years, threats, such as a virus and unauthorized access, are increasing. For this reason, construction of the public key infrastructure (PKI) is desired. In order to maintain a high security level, PKI consists of elements of a system, operation, facility, and is said to be high cost structure. For this reason, a university is not sufficient for the deployment of PKI. Its attention is paid to the CP/CPS which is a nucleus of PKI in this paper. That is, based on CP/CPS of campus PKI proposed in National Institute of Informatics, the concept of LOA is newly introduced and plural CP/CPSs are proposed. As a result, the alternative of PKI installation can increase and it can contribute to the deployment of campus PKI.

Although the Internet which has accomplished rapid progress in recent years is convenient and efficient, the negative sides, such as a threat of a virus and unauthorized access, are also actualized. In order that these threats may realize not an exception but safe and secure Internet environment also in scientific environment, construction of a public key infrastructure (PKI) is desired, but the deployment is not sufficient. Generally it is said that PKI is high cost structure, and it is one of the reasons to PKI deployment. This paper clarifies cost structure in PKI quantitatively, and contributes it to campus PKI spreading and promotion.

In general, it is said that the information security field is difficult to visualize and calculate the cost-effectiveness. In this paper, the method for spread and promoting the CSIRT (Computer Security Incident response Team) activity which copes with it in a team about various threats on the Internet is proposed. Concretely, its attention is directed to the cost structure of CSIRT. The costs of CSIRT activity were not clarified sufficient until now. On the other hand, quantification of the structure, i.e., visualization, is performed in this paper. Accordingly, a decision of a manager is made easy and it contributes to spread and promotion of CSIRT.

In order to solve various problems regarding IT infrastructure management, infrastructure design patterns have been developed that conceptualize and pattern the design of infrastructure. These contents have been widely used in internal projects and those of group companies that constantly achieve a certain goals. "Infrastructure Design Patterns" has been developed as a PM support tool by patterning past cases and experts' IT infrastructure know-how at NTT Data Corporation. Every employee of NTT Data group companies can get it from group portal site. We found that some didn't use them after the download. Therefore, we conducted interviews with users and experts, which revealed four problems. This paper will propose three hypotheses about the cause of and countermeasure to these problems in order to explain their details and verification results.

Waterfall development process, which is the current mainstream, has also been actively discussed. Generally, it is pointed out that the Agile is difficult to take advantage of its strengths of large-scale projects, and the Waterfall is difficult to rapidly respond to specification changes. In this paper, we will propose a hybrid development that can combine the Agile and Waterfall in a mutually complementary manner. On the basis of the actual results obtained in a large-scale project in the financial industry, we will report the advantages and effects of the improved Agile development analyzed from the perspective of QCD and PMBOK knowledge areas.

"Agile" has gone mainstream of software development since 17 practical leaders of light-weight development methods declared "Manifesto for Agile Software Development" in 2001. In Japan, A lot of communities and workshops concerning Agile have been established and held since 2007, and we already cannot say that Agile is heterodoxy of software development in these days. However, what on earth is the Agile software development? As for the range where it means the term named Agile, it seems vague. So at first, this paper starts with analysis of the original sources of Agile those are Agile manifesto and 12 principles, and considers the value of the Agile methods and the practices. Finally We try to depict the characteristics and the real value of Agile software development with the key words which are "Sustainable pace" and "Self organized".

The network configuration in the system infrastructure is getting large scale, complicated in recent years, and the risk in the network change operation increases. Especially, the configuration change of the networking components (Routers, Switches, Firewalls etc.) is not limited to a specific system, and there is a possibility of influencing over two or more systems. Therefore, it is preferable to settle on the risk, probability, influence, workaround, countermeasures on falure, and judge the change risk from two or more viewpoints. In this text, risk management in the network change work that the author had practiced was considered from technical viewpoint.

J-SOX was enforced in Japan in 2008, to prevent the accounting scandal and the compliance that occur frequently. Some defects of internal management have been still seen though about four years. Risk and control matrix (RCM) at IT General Control (IT-GC), etc. is included a lot of things that the project manager tends to overlook generally. The audit test without considering these measures causes physical verifications, reconciliations, recurrence prevention measures, and the operation cost of this IT system increases against project manager's mind. Then, This paper describes points that project manager should note in the stage of the development process and the operation process in IT System that is Target Sarbanes-Oxley Act Audit.

It is difficult to familiarize on-site staff with essential rules in IT development because of their complexity and huge volume. Especially, demand from stakeholders and society as a whole for efforts towards security is ever increasing, while such efforts do not necessarily directly contribute to ensure the quality of products, which often prevents them from being understood by on-site staff. A large number of persons participate in a large-scale project; therefore, sharing of the project culture including security is one of the important and difficult managerial issues. As a solution to such an issue, we would like to introduce two approaches: "establishment of knowledge" using the WEB test environment and "establishment of basic activities" through "NEXT activities" that encourage autonomous improvements at a site, which contribute to a large-scale project.
