ABSTRACT

Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive which performs encryption and signature in a single logical step with the cost lower than signature-then-encryption approach. Recently, Li et al. [35] proposed the first provable secure identity based signcryption without random oracles. In their scheme sender signs the ciphertext. However, in [11] Boyen showed that non-repudiation is easily achieved if the sender sign the plaintext rather than ciphertext. In this paper we proposed an identity based signcryption scheme without random oracles, which provides the non-repudiation with respect to plaintext. We also proposed an identity based public verifiable signcryption scheme with third party verification in the standard model.

RESILIENT VOTING MECHANISMS FOR MISSION SURVIVABILITY IN CYBERSPACE:COMBINING REPLICATION AND DIVERSITY

RESILIENT VOTING MECHANISMS FOR MISSION SURVIVABILITY IN CYBERSPACE:COMBINING REPLICATION AND DIVERSITY

ABSTRACT

While information systems became ever more complex and the interdependence of these systems increased, mission-critical services should be survivable even in the presence of cyber attacks or internal failures. Node replication can be used to protect a mission-critical system against faults that may occur naturally or be caused by malicious attackers. The overall reliability increases by the number of replicas. However, when the replicas are a perfect copy of each other, a successful attack or failure in any node can be instantaneously repeated in all the other nodes. Eventually, the service of those nodes will discontinue, which may affect the system’s mission. Therefore, it becomes evident that there must be more survivable approach with diversity among the replicas in mission-critical systems. In particular, this research investigates the best binary voting mechanism among replicas. Furthermore, with experimental results, we compare the simple majority mechanism with hierarchical decision process and discuss their trade-offs.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a general overview on computer viruses and defensive techniques. Computer virus writers commonly use metamorphic techniques to produce viruses that change their internal structure on each infection. On the other hand, anti-virus technologies continually follow the virus tricks and methodologies to overcome their threats. In this paper, anti-virus experts design and develop new methodologies to make them stronger, more and more, every day. The purpose of this paper is to review these methodologies and outline their strengths and weaknesses to encourage those are interested in more investigation on these areas. In this paper, first analyze four virus creation kits to determine the degree of metamorphism provided by each and able to precisely quantify the degree of metamorphism produced by these virus generators. While the best generator, the Next Generation Virus Creation Kit (NGVCK), produces virus variants that differ greatly from one another, the other three generators examined are much less effective.

ABSTRACT

Underwater acoustic sensor network is an emerging technique consisting of sensor nodes, and AUVs all working together to sense various phenomenon, converts the sensed information into digital data, store the digital data and communicate to the base stations through the intermediate nodes. Also Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks are playing a main role in ocean applications. Unfortunately the efficiency of underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks is inferior to that of terrestrial sensor networks due to the long propagation delay, narrow bandwidth and high error rates. Also battery life and storage capacity of node is limited. Many routing protocols are proposed to improve the efficiency of Under Water Acoustic Sensor Networks. However their improvement is not enough, so there is a need of suitable routing protocol that consider all these limitations and makes communication in underwater network viable. In this paper, we propose a protocol called Reliable Routing Optimized Cluster Head (RROCH) protocol, a network coding approach for multihop topologies. We used performance metrics like packet delivery ratio, energy consumption, end-to-end delay and throughput of sensor nodes. LEACH, HMR-LEACH, LEACH-M are compared for their performance at different traffic conditions, number of nodes and depth. By analyzing our simulation results we found that RROCH protocol may be used for denser network with low traffic and HMR- LEACH protocol is suitable for higher traffic with less number of nodes.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we introduce a set of new kernel functions derived from the generalized Legendre polynomials to obtain more robust and higher support vector machine (SVM) classification accuracy. The generalized Legendre kernel functions are suggested to provide a value of how two given vectors are like each other by changing the inner product of these two vectors into a greater dimensional space. The proposed kernel functions satisfy the Mercer’s condition and orthogonality properties for reaching the optimal result with low number support vector (SV). For that, the new set of Legendre kernel functions could be utilized in classification applications as effective substitutes to those generally used like Gaussian, Polynomial and Wavelet kernel functions. The suggested kernel functions are calculated in compared to the current kernels such as Gaussian, Polynomial, Wavelets and Chebyshev kernels by application to various non-separable data sets with some attributes. It is seen that the suggested kernel functions could give competitive classification outcomes in comparison with other kernel functions. Thus, on the basis test outcomes, we show that the suggested kernel functions are more robust about the kernel parameter change and reach the minimal SV number for classification generally.

ABSTRACT

As device interconnectivity and ubiquitous computing continues to proliferate healthcare, the Medical Internet of Things (MIoT), also well known as the, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) or the Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT), is certain to play a major role in the health, and well-being of billions of people across the globe. When it comes to issues of cybersecurity risks and threats connected to the IoT in all of its various flavors the emphasis has been on technical challenges and technical solution. However, especially in the area of healthcare, there is another substantial and potentially grave challenge. It is the challenge of thoroughly and accurately communicating the nature and extent of cybersecurity risks and threats to patients who are reliant upon these interconnected healthcare technologies to improve and even preserve their lives. This case study was conducted to assess the scope and depth of cybersecurity risk and threat communications delivered to an extremely vulnerable patient population, semi-structured interviews were held with cardiac medical device specialists across the United States. This research contributes to scientific data in the field of healthcare cybersecurity and assists scholars and practitioners in advancing education

and research in the field of MIoT patient communications.

ABSTRACT

In today’s day and age when everything is done with the aid of computing technology, the need for confidential communication has drastically increased. Not only the sensitive data such as top intelligent secrets of our nation but personal information of common people needs to be secure. Several combinations of cryptography and steganography techniques in different ways are used by researchers over the past to protect the data being transmitted. Cryptography uses mathematical algorithms to convert the data into an incomprehensible form and Steganography, on the other hand hides the data in a carrier such as image, data, audio or video. Cryptography provides necessary mechanisms for providing accountability, accuracy and confidentiality in public communication mediums such as the Internet and steganography is used in other fields such as copyright, preventing e-document forging etc. We are of the opinion that this security mechanism can further be increased by incorporating the use of Huffman coding in order to reduce the data length. This paper is an effort in the direction to hide, secure and compress the data. It explains the executed procedure by applying various encryption techniques one by one and our aim is to get the best security out of the existing ones. The proposed technique is implemented in MATLAB2016a and the results shown in this paper that our technique is better approach then the conventional techniques.
