Can Blockchain be a Solution to IoT Technical and Security Issues

Adanma Cecilia Eberendu1, Titus Ifeanyi Chinebu2, 1Madonna University, Nigeria, 2Federal College of Dental Technology and Therapy, Nigeria

ABSTRACT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing trend in technology that interconnects millions of physical devices from any location anytime. Currently, IoT devices have become an integral part of human lives, as such organizations are deeply concerned with its security and technical issues. Blockchain system comprises a distributed digital ledger which is shared among community of users on the Internet; validated and recorded transactions in the ledger which cannot be altered or removed. We presented the challenges of IoT devices and how blockchain can be used to alleviate these problems. An outline of how to integrate blockchain with IoT was tackled, highlighting the challenges of IoT and how blockchain can remedy the issues. It was concluded that blockchain has the capability to curb the challenges posed by IoT devices.

Comparative Review of Malware Analysis Methodologies

Ioannis G. Kiachidis and Dimitrios A. Baltatzis, International Hellenic University, Greece

ABSTRACT

To fight against the evolution of malware and its development, the specific methodologies that are applied by the malware analysts are crucial. Yet, this is something often overlooked in the relevant bibliography or in the formal and informal training of the relevant professionals. There are only two generic and allencompassing structured methodologies for Malware Analysis (MA) – SAMA and MARE. The question is whether they are adequate and there is no need for another one or whether there is no such need at all. This paper will try to answer the above and it will contribute in the following ways: it will present, compare and dissect those two malware analysis methodologies, it will present their capacity for analysing modern malware by applying them on a random modern specimen and finally, it will conclude on whether there is a procedural optimization for malware analysis over the evolution of these two methodologies.

Information and Communication Security Mechanisms For Microservices-based Systems

Lenin Leines-Vite, Juan Carlos Pérez-Arriaga and Xavier Limón, Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico

ABSTRACT

Security has become paramount in modern software services as more and more security breaches emerge, impacting final users and organizations alike. Trends like the Microservice Architecture bring new security challenges related to communication, system design, development, and operation. The literature presents a plethora of security-related solutions for microservices-based systems, but the spread of information difficult practitioners' adoption of novel security related solutions. In this study, we aim to present a catalogue and discussion of security solutions based on algorithms, protocols, standards, or implementations; supporting principles or characteristics of information security, considering the three possible states of data, according to the McCumber Cube. Our research follows a Systematic Literature Review, synthesizing the results with a meta-aggregation process. We identified a total of 30 primary studies, yielding 75 security solutions for the communication of microservices.

System End-User Actions as a Threat to Information System Security

Paulus Kautwima, Titus Haiduwa, Kundai Sai, Valerianus Hashiyana and Nalina Suresh, University of Namibia, Namibia

ABSTRACT

As universities migrate online due to the advent of Covid-19, there is a need for enhanced security in information systems in the institution of higher learning. Many opted to invest in technological approaches to mitigate cybersecurity threats; however, the most common types of cybersecurity breaches happen due to the human factor, well known as end-user error or actions. Thus, this study aimed to identify and explore possible end-user errors in academia and the resulting vulnerabilities and threats that could affect the integrity of the university's information system. The study further presented state-of-the-art humanoriented security threats countermeasures to compliment universities' cybersecurity plans. Countermeasures include well-tailored ICT policies, incident response procedures, and education to protect themselves from security events (disruption, distortion, and exploitation). Adopted is a mixedmethod research approach with a qualitative research design to guide the study. An open-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection tools. Findings showed that system end-user errors remain the biggest security threat to information systems security in institutions of higher learning. Indeed errors make information systems vulnerable to certain cybersecurity attacks and, when exploited, put legitimate users, institutional network, and its computers at risk of contracting viruses, worms, Trojan, and expose it to spam, phishing, e-mail fraud, and other modern security attacks such as DDoS, session hijacking, replay attack and many more. Understanding that technology has failed to fully protect systems, specific recommendations are provided for the institution of higher education to consider improving employee actions and minimizing security incidents in their eLearning platforms, post Covid-19.
