This paper presents an in-depth network data stream analysis on data gathering to evaluate the current data protection situation of online payment in smartphone applications. To this end, we applied a digital forensic methodology from previous work in ...

In the face of the rapidly growing number of users and the demand for real-time access in the 6G era, the central allocation method in traditional spectrum management will encounter processing bottlenecks, and this paper proposes a distributed spectrum ...

A multi-agent system (MAS) is a system in which there is a cooperation of autonomous entities called 'agents', with intelligent behaviour, and have the power to coordinate their goals and action plans to solve a problem or achieve an objective. They are ...

With the widespread infusion of technology into society, children (ages 5-11) not only interact with technology but are also required to create and use credentials in order to authenticate and use various platforms. My primary goal with this research is ...

An unsolved debate in the field of usable security concerns whether security mechanisms should be visible, or blackboxed away from the user for the sake of usability. However, tying this question to pragmatic usability factors only might be simplistic. ...

The increased demand for lightweight applications has triggered the need for appropriate security mechanisms in them. Lightweight cryptographic hash functions are among the major responses toward such a requirement. The authors thus have a handful of such ...

With the benefits of portability and mobility, laptops have become more and more popular. People usually believe that their personal laptop is safe, and they store sensitive data in it. However, when a laptop is stolen, a malicious thief can obtain ...

The security vulnerability of space information network is stimulating interest in developing security mechanisms study of heterogeneous network. However, it is noted that neither the single certificate authority (CA) nor the distributed CA can meet the ...

Information and network security have received a great attention in the past two decades and this attention will increase as the world moving dramatically towards making governmental and organizational systems computerized. Several events and scandals ...

Selection of proper security mechanisms that will protect the organization's assets against cyber threats is an important non-trivial problem. This paper introduces the approach based on statistical methods that will help to choose the proper controls ...

Inspired by the similarities between human trust and physical measurements, we have proposed a trust framework for social networks, including defining new trust metrics and their combinations, which captures both human trust level and its uncertainty, ...

Security attacks aim to system vulnerabilities that may lead to operational failures. In order to react to attacks software designers use to introduce Fault-Tolerant Techniques (FTTs), such as recovery procedures, and/or Security Mechanisms (SMs), such ...

Security is one of the biggest concerns of database administrators. Most marketed software products announce a variety of features and mechanisms designed to improve security. However, that same variety largely complicates the process of selecting the ...

We propose a new paradigm---named the Pervasive Trust Foundation (PTF) ---for computer security in Next Generation Networks, including the Future Internet. We start with a review of basic trust-related terms and concepts. We present motivation for using ...

Wireless sensor networks are specific adhoc networks. They are characterized by their limited computing power and energy constraints. This paper proposes a study of security in this kind of network. We show what are the specificities and vulnerabilities ...

In order to overcome the shortcomings of the recent frameworks and mechanisms for semantic-based access control, this paper presents a semantic-based, context-aware, and multi-domain enabled framework implementing a semantic-based access control ...

As IT systems proliferate to support business processes, users and system administrators are faced with an increasingly complicated interface to accomplish their job functions, some uniform identity authentication systems are developed to integrate ...

The public telephone network has been evolving from manually switching wires carrying analog encoded voice to an automatically switched grid of copper-wired, fiber optical and wireless mobile connectivity carrying digitally encoded voice, image and ...

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol was adopted to protect authorised users from unauthorised access and eavesdropping in the IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. It has been proven that the WEP protocol fails to provide data confidentiality and ...

Voice networks evolved from the traditional telephone system, to mobile and wireless networks and now towards a converged voice and data infrastructure. This convergence is based on the spread of the Internet Protocol, where VoIP is developing. Due to ...
