This thesis examines how the right of free movement of persons is governed through surveillance databases represented as security measures by applying the governmentality perspective. In order to do that, the study focuses on the relationship between freedom of movement, security and surveillance databases in the European Union such as Schengen Information System (SIS), European Dactylographic System (EURODAC) and the Europol Computer System (TECS). The main argument of the thesis is to analyze the role of surveillance databases in controlling the free movements of certain kinds of people that are seen as a "threat" to the European internal security.

Anti-terror legislations after 9/11: a comparative look at western and turkish debates Akkaya, Ahmet; Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar; Department of International Relations (2013) This thesis problematizes the main assumptions of civil liberties literature on the debates of anti-terror legislations enacted after 9/11. The main assumption of the civil liberties literature in opposition to anti-terror regime that is based on dichotomy of security and liberties in the politics, and its claim about prioritization of the security led to authoritarianism are examined. Basing on the closer investigation of liberal thinkers in terms of conceptualization of security and historical investigati...
Distributed Content Based Video Identification in Peer-to-Peer Networks: Requirements and Solutions Koz, Alper; Lagendijk, R. (Inald) L. (2017-03-01) In this paper, we first discuss the essential requirements for a fingerprint (perceptual hash)-based distributed video identification system in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks in comparison with traditional central database implementations of fingerprints. This discussion reveals that first, fingerprint sizes of existing video fingerprint methods are not compatible with the cache sizes of current P2P clients; second, fingerprint extraction durations during a query are not at tolerable levels for a user in the n...
On provable security of some public key encryption schemes Hanoymak, Turgut; Akyıldız, Ersan; Selçuk, Ali Aydın; Department of Cryptography (2012) In this thesis, we analyse the security criteria of some public key encryption schemes. In this respect, we present the notion of adversarial goals and adversarial capabilities. We give the definition of provably security by means of several games between the challenger and the adversary in some security models, namely the standard model and the random oracle model. We state the main differences between these two models and observe the advantage of the success probability of the adversary in breaking the cr...
Bargaining in legislatures over private and public goods with endogenous recognition Genc, Hakan; Küçükşenel, Serkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-01) This paper studies a sequential model of multilateral bargaining under majority rule in which legislators make decisions in both private and public good dimensions via an endogenous recognition process. Legislators can expend resources to become the proposer and to make proposals about the allocation of private and public goods. We show that legislators exert unproductive effort to be the proposer and make proposals in both dimensions depending on legislative preferences. Effort choices in equilibrium depen...
SIMULATION CONCEPTS FOR INFORMATION-SYSTEM MOURANT, RR; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (Elsevier BV, 1993-09-01) Recent Improvements in document image systems and their low-cost implementation on networks of microcomputers is leading to the reengineering of many information systems. We describe how document image systems can be applied to information systems. In order to compare the performance of a conventional information system with one implemented with document imaging processing capability we conducted a discrete event simulation. We modeled the conventional information system for processing graduate student ...
