Namen prispevka: Namen prispevka je predstaviti projekt varnostnega testiranja v razvoju in produkciji fizičnega kripto-modula, ki je nujno potrebno pred lansiranjem izdelka na trg. Delo na projektu je bilo usmerjeno v izdelek Code 1 Secure (v nadaljevanju VPN kripto-modul C1S), za katerega je bila narejena primerjava s sorodnimi izdelki, predlagane različne ergonomične oblike ter opisani postopki potrebnih testiranj izdelka za pridobitev certifikatov oz. za doseganje standardov. Metode: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda s pomočjo študije primarnih in sekundarnih virov. Za potrebe opisa orodij za avtomatizirano testiranje smo delovanje orodij preizkusili in opravili vzorčna testiranja. Ugotovitve: Testiranje programske opreme in njene združljivosti s šifrirnimi algoritmi predstavlja najzahtevnejši del testiranj. Ključno stičišče projekta je predstavljal kolaboracijski portal, preko katerega se je evidentiral in spremljal napredek dela. S preizkušanjem orodij za avtomatizacijo opravil je bilo ugotovljeno, da avtomatizirano testiranje prihrani veliko časa in denarja. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave Projektno delo je bilo ciljno naravnano na izdelek VPN kripto-modula C1S, zato se tudi ugotovitve navezujejo nanj. Kljub temu lahko ugotovitve apliciramo na sorodne izdelke. Praktična uporabnost: S primerjavo sorodnih izdelkov se pokažejo konkurenčne prednosti VPN kripto-modula C1S pred podobnimi izdelki na trgu ter možnosti za izboljšave. Predlagane so različne ergonomične oblike izdelka glede na ciljne skupine kupcev. Opis možnih testiranj, ki so potrebna za VPN kripto-modul C1S, poda okvirno predstavo o obsegu preizkušanj slehernega tehnološkega izdelka. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Glede na povišan trend zlorab v kibernetskem prostoru je področje kibernetske varnosti, v katerega spada tudi VPN kripto-modul C1S, izrednega pomena. Za ustrezno delovanje kripto-modulov in doseganje pričakovanj uporabnikov je te naprave pomembno dobro testirati. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to present security testing approach in the phase of development and production of a hardware crypto-module, which is indispensable before the product goes on the market. The project work was focused on the product Code 1 Secure (from here on VPN crypto module C1S) for which a comparison with other similar products was made, different ergonomically designed shapes were proposed and product’s necessary testing to gain certificates or/and achieve certain standards was described. Design/Methods/Approach: A descriptive method with the study of primary and secondary sources was used. For the purposes of showing how the automated testing tools work, several testing activities were made. Findings: Testing the software and software’s compatibility with encryption algorithms poses the most difficult part of all the testing activities needed to be done. The collaborative web portal had a major role in keeping track and progress of the project’s work. Testing some of the automated tools showed that their usage saves time and consequently money. Research Limitations / Implications: Because the project work was focused on the product VPN crypto module C1S, all the findings are linked to it. However, most of them could be applied to related products. Practical Implications: Comparison of similar products shows competitive edge of VPN crypto module C1S and points out potentials for improvements. There were some ergonomically designed shapes presented with the intention of targeting certain costumers. Description of potential testing needed for the C1S, gives a rough estimate of testing’s scope of every technological product. Originality/Value: VPN crypto-module is a subject of cyber security which has a great importance in everyday life, because of the increased trend of abuses in cyberspace. For the proper functioning of the crypto-modules and meet the expectations of the users, these devices must be appropriately tested.

Purpose: The purpose of the paper was to present out how Ljubljana residents know, understand and evaluate the work of private security guards. Design/Methods/Approach: A survey by internet and telephone was conducted among Ljubljana residents. The sample included residents between 18 and 75 years of age. A combined weights method was used in order to assure the representativeness of the sample by gender and age. Findings: Residents of Ljubljana are satisfied with the work performed by private security guards. Residents’ satisfaction mainly depends on their trust in security guards’ work, the help and assistance provided by security guards, security guards’ attitude towards residents and residents’ experience with security guards’ work. Residents assess their work as stressful and dangerous, however, they still believe that security guards lack education and professionalism, which is a finding, common to many other studies. Research Limitations / Implications: The survey is limited to the Ljubljana area, so a similar survey should be carried out nationwide. Practical Implications: Findings could be used by private security companies to plan adequate processes of training, professional socialisation and public relations strategies, thus increasing the degree of security guards’ professionalism. In turn, the improved professionalism would contribute greatly to a more positive assessment of security guards by residents. Originality/Value: In Slovenia, this kind of survey was conducted for the first time among the general population, as so far similar surveys have been carried out mainly among the student population. Namen prispevka: Namen prispevka je raziskati, kako prebivalci Ljubljane poznajo, razumejo in ocenjujejo delo zasebnih varnostnikov. Metode: Med prebivalci Ljubljane je bila izvedena anketa po spletu in telefonu. V vzorec so bili vključeni prebivalci med 18. in 75. letom starosti. Reprezentativnost vzorca po spolu in starosti je bila zagotovljena z metodo kombiniranih uteži. Ugotovitve: Prebivalci Ljubljane so z delom, ki ga opravljajo zasebni varnostniki, zadovoljni. Na to najbolj vplivajo zaupanje v delo varnostnikov, pomoč varnostnikov, odnos varnostnikov do prebivalcev in izkušnje z delom varnostnikov. Prebivalci ocenjujejo delo varnostnikov kot stresno in nevarno, po drugi strani pa menijo, kar izhaja tudi iz podobnih raziskav, da varnostniki niso dovolj izobraženi in profesionalni. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave Raziskava je omejena na območje Ljubljane, zato bi bilo koristno podobno raziskavo izvesti tudi na ravni celotne države. Praktična uporabnost: Zasebnovarnostna podjetja bi lahko na osnovi ugotovitev raziskave načrtovala ustrezne procese usposabljanja, profesionalne socializacije in strategije odnosov z javnostmi, s čimer bi prispevala k večji profesionalnosti zasebnih varnostnikov, ki bi v veliki meri pripomogla k pozitivnemu vrednotenju varnostnikov med prebivalci. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Avtorji so tovrstno raziskavo prvič v Sloveniji izvedli med splošno populacijo, saj so bile doslej podobne raziskave opravljene predvsem med študentsko populacijo.

Področje poznavanja dela zasebnih varnostnikov in zadovoljstva z njihovim delom je v Sloveniji še precej neraziskano, saj so bile dosedanje raziskave opravljene le med študentsko populacijo, ne pa tudi med splošnim prebivalstvom. Za potrebe magistrskega dela je bila v ta namen opravljena raziskava o poznavanju dela varnostnikov in zadovoljstvu z njihovim delom na reprezentativnem vzorcu prebivalcev Ljubljane. V raziskavi so sodelovali naključni prebivalci, ki bivajo v mestu Ljubljana, in sicer v starosti od 18 do 75 let. Raziskava je pokazala, da je, za razliko od predhodnih študij na študentskih populacijah, splošno prebivalstvo z delom, ki ga varnostniki opravljajo, zadovoljno. Ugotovitve raziskave kažejo, da prebivalci Ljubljane delo zasebnih varnostnikov ocenjujejo kot nevarno, stresno in zahtevno, varnostnike pa ocenjujejo kot izobražene in profesionalne. Na ocene narave dela varnostnikov ne vplivajo pretekle izkušnje respondentov z varnostniki, kot tudi ne zaposlenost njihovih staršev ali sorodnikov v zasebnovarnostnih podjetjih, temveč zaposlenost staršev ali sorodnikov v državnih službah ali policiji. Iz raziskave je tudi razvidno, da na mnenje o profesionalnosti varnostnikov vpliva starost prebivalcev Ljubljane, ne pa tudi spol anketiranih. Glede sodelovanja zasebnih varnostnikov in policistov pa Ljubljančani menijo, da le-ti pri zagotavljanju varnosti v mestu uspešno sodelujejo. The field of acquaintance with work of private security guards and the satisfaction with their work is substantially unexplored since previous research was only conducted among the student population but not the general population. For the purposes of this master's thesis, research on acquaintance with work of security guards and satisfaction with their work was carried out among a representative sample of Ljubljana's residents. Participants in the research are coincidental residents, from the ages of 18 to 75 years, who reside in the city of Ljubljana. Research shows that as opposed to previous studies among student population, the general population is satisfied with the work of security guards. Research findings indicate that the inhabitants of Ljubljana appraise the work of private security guards as dangerous, stressful as well as demanding and evaluate them as educated and well trained. Previous experiences of respondents with security guards do not impact the assessments of security guards' nature of work, and neither does their parents' employment in private security companies, but the employment of parents or relatives in civil services or police force does. It is also evident from the research that the opinion on security guards' professionalism is influenced by the age of Ljubljana's residents but not by gender of Ljubljana’s residents. In reference to the cooperation of private security guards and policemen, Ljubljana's inhabitants deem it successful when it comes to ensuring the safety in the city.
