English to Dutch: Software Manual Back-up Online
Source text - English
1.2 Security
When Back-up Online is used over public Internet connections, the issue of security becomes apparent. It is important to notice that all traffic is originated on the client side and hence your firewall only needs to allow outgoing traffic on port 5315.
The security of the KPN Back-up Online is organized as follows:

1. The KPN back-up servers are stored in the secured KPN CyberCenters . These CyberCenters meet the highest quality standards.
2. Access to the KPN back-up servers over the network is secured by a state-of-the-art firewall system.
3. The communication between the KPN back-up software and the KPN back-up server is done via a proprietary protocol. The specifications of this protocol are unknown in the public domain. An attempt to hack the server will not lead to any response of the server. The server does not make itself public by broadcasting. The communication port will act if it is closed when there isn’t the right protocol used.
4. A user ID, password and encryption key are necessary to get access to a user account.
5. All client-side queries which are sent over the TCP/IP network are coded with the Diffie Hellman protocol.
6. All data will be sent to the KPN back-up server and is saved in a 128-bits AES encrypted format. The encryption key is NEVER present at the KPN back-up server.

1.2 Beveiliging
Als Back-up Online via een publieke internetverbinding wordt gebruikt, moet natuurlijk de nodige aandacht worden besteed aan beveiliging. Al het verkeer wordt gegenereerd aan de client-kant, zodat uw firewall alleen uitgaand verkeer hoeft toe te staan via poort 5315.
De beveiliging van KPN Back-up Online wordt als volgt gewaarborgd:

1. De back-upservers van KPN zijn opgesteld in streng beveiligde KPN CyberCenters. Deze CyberCenters voldoen aan de hoogste kwaliteitseisen.
2. Toegang tot de KPN back-upservers via het netwerk wordt beveiligd met een zeer geavanceerde firewall.
3. De communicatie tussen de KPN back-upsoftware en de KPN back-upserver verloopt via een uniek, voor deze applicatie ontwikkeld protocol. De specificaties van dit protocol zijn niet bekend in het publieke domein. Als een hacker probeert op de server in te breken, zal de server in het geheel geen reactie geven. De server maakt zijn aanwezigheid niet bekend door broadcasting. Als een onjuist protocol wordt gebruikt, reageert de communicatiepoort alsof hij gesloten is.
4. Toegang tot de gebruikersaccount vereist een gebruikers-ID, een wachtwoord en een encryptiecode.
5. Alle queries die vanaf de client via het TCP/IP-netwerk worden verzonden, worden gecodeerd met het Diffie Hellman-protocol.
6. Alle data worden met 128-bits AES-encryptie naar de KPN back-upserver verzonden. De encryptiesleutel is NOOIT aanwezig op de KPN back-upserver.

Bio
translatorium

Hello, my name is Gerard Kingma. I translate manuals, media content and management books from English into Dutch, my native language. I've been doing this since 1989 and I've never missed a deadline.

Education
In 1989 I graduated in English Language and Literature at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. I wrote my thesis on the theory of short story translation and took additional courses in literary and technical translation.

Experience
I'm widely experienced in the production of manuals and ISO standards, most notably the ISO standards on quality (9000 series) and environment (14000 series), but also on children's playground equipment, milk processing machines, artificial heart valves, elevators and installation manuals for Grundfos pumps and Vestas wind turbines.

Media translations for the Discovery EMEA Group: I provide content for the Discovery websites and EPGs for Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, History Channel, ESPN, Investigation Discovery, Discovery Science and Animal Planet.

Children's books: I've translated 13 volumes of the successful popular science series Horrible Histories.

Art & Culture: Cultural translation projects I've done include several articles in a catalogue on Scottish impressionist painters for the Drents Museum, Assen, The Netherlands.

Management books: I've translated New York Times bestseller management books by VitalSmarts: Crucial Conversations, Influencer and Crucial Accountability.

In 2013 I added subtitling to my portfolio. I've produced subtitles for SDI Media and DeLuxe, mostly for nature programmes, drama series and popular science documentaries.

Tools
I work with SDL Trados Studio 2017, MS Office (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) and EZTitles subtitling software.

I'm passionate about quality, attention to detail and maintaining good long-term relations. I'm also a photographer and I play the saxophone in a jazz big band, much to the merriment of my wife and two sons who sometimes feel obliged to attend my performances.

Please feel free to contact me for more information. You'll find I'm a reliable partner who always delivers. Have a great day,


Best regards, Gerard
