Designing Intelligent Energy Efficient Scheduling Algorithm To Support Massive Iot Communication In Lora Networks, Jui Mhatre Jul 2023

Designing Intelligent Energy Efficient Scheduling Algorithm To Support Massive Iot Communication In Lora Networks, Jui Mhatre

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

We are about to enter a new world with sixth sense ability – “Network as a sensor -6G”. The driving force behind digital sensing abilities is IoT. Due to their capacity to work in high frequency, 6G devices have voracious energy demand. Hence there is a growing need to work on green solutions to support the underlying 6G network by making it more energy efficient. Low cost, low energy, and long-range communication capability make LoRa the most adopted and promising network for IoT devices. Since LoRaWAN uses ALOHA for multi-access of channels, collision management is an important task. Moreover, in …


Detection Of Crypto-Ransomware Attack Using Deep Learning, Muna Jemal May 2023

Detection Of Crypto-Ransomware Attack Using Deep Learning, Muna Jemal

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

The number one threat to the digital world is the exponential increase in ransomware attacks. Ransomware is malware that prevents victims from accessing their resources by locking or encrypting the data until a ransom is paid. With individuals and businesses growing dependencies on technology and the Internet, researchers in the cyber security field are looking for different measures to prevent malicious attackers from having a successful campaign. A new ransomware variant is being introduced daily, thus behavior-based analysis of detecting ransomware attacks is more effective than the traditional static analysis. This paper proposes a multi-variant classification to detect ransomware I/O …


Analysis Of The Adherence Of Mhealth Applications To Hipaa Technical Safeguards, Bilash Saha Apr 2023

Analysis Of The Adherence Of Mhealth Applications To Hipaa Technical Safeguards, Bilash Saha

Master of Science in Information Technology Theses

The proliferation of mobile health technology, or mHealth apps, has made it essential to protect individual health details. People now have easy access to digital platforms that allow them to save, share, and access their medical data and treatment information as well as easily monitor and manage health-related issues. It is crucial to make sure that protected health information (PHI) is effectively and securely transmitted, received, created, and maintained in accordance with the rules outlined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as the use of mHealth apps increases. Unfortunately, many mobile app developers, particularly those of mHealth …
