Enhanced Security Utilizing Side Channel Data Analysis, Michael Taylor

Computer Science and Engineering Theses and Dissertations

The physical state of a system is affected by the activities and processes in which it is tasked with carrying out. In the past there have been many instances where such physical changes have been exploited by bad actors in order to gain insight into the operational state and even the data being held on a system. This method of side channel exploitation is very often effective due to the relative difficulty of obfuscating activity on a physical level. However, in order to take advantage of side channel data streams one must have a detailed working knowledge of how a …

The Factors Influencing The Acceptance Of Web-Based E-Learning System Among Academic Staffs Of Saudi Arabia, Ikhlas Zamzami

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

It is possible to learn more quickly and effectively with e-learning software development because it provides learners with convenient and flexible learning environments. This allows them to progress further in their careers. Reports on web-based e-learning systems for in-service education have frequently neglected to include the viewpoint of the instructor. In order to conduct quantitative research, a sample of 50 academic staff members was selected. The purpose of this study was to investigate various factors that influence the intention to use web-based e-learning, with the theoretical foundation being provided by university lecturers. According to the findings of the study, the …

Image Hiding Using Qr Factorization And Discrete Wavelet Transform Techniques, Reham Ahmed El-Shahed, Maryam Al-Berry, Hala Ebied, Howida Shedeed

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

Steganography is one of the most important tools in the data security field as there is a huge amount of data transferred each moment over the internet. Hiding secret messages in an image has been widely used because the images are mostly used in social media applications. The proposed algorithm is a simple algorithm for hiding an image in another image. The proposed technique uses QR factorization to conceal the secret image. The technique successfully hid a gray and color image in another one and the performance of the algorithm was measured by PSNR, SSIM and NCC. The PSNR for …

Review Of Data Mining Techniques For Detecting Churners In The Telecommunication Industry, Mahmoud Ewieda, Mohamed Ismail Roushdy, Essam Shaaban

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

The telecommunication sector has been developed rapidly and with large amounts of data obtained as a result of increasing in the number of subscribers, modern techniques, data-based applications, and services. As well as better awareness of customer requirements and excellent quality that meets their satisfaction. This satisfaction raises rivalry between firms to maintain the quality of their services and upgrade them. These data can be helpfully extracted for analysis and used for predicting churners. Researchers around the world have conducted important research to understand the uses of Data mining (DM) that can be used to predict customers' churn. This …

Framework For Collecting Data From Iot Device, Md Saiful Islam

Symposium of Student Scholars

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the most significant and blooming technology in the 21st century. IoT has rapidly developed by covering hundreds of applications in the civil, health, military, and agriculture areas. IoT is based on the collection of sensor data through an embedded system, and this embedded system uploads the data on the internet. Devices and sensor technologies connected over a network can monitor and measure data in real-time. The main challenge is to collect data from IoT devices, transmit them to store in the Cloud, and later retrieve them at any time for visualization and data analysis. …

Data Analysis Methods For Health Monitoring Sensors, Shahriar Sobhan

Symposium of Student Scholars

Innovations in health monitoring systems are fundamental for the continuous improvement of remote healthcare. With the current presence of SARS-CoV-2, better known as COVID-19, in people’s daily lives, solutions for monitoring heart and especially respiration and pulmonary functions are more needed than ever. Besides, health monitoring systems are widely used for patients who need isolated care, unconscious patients who cannot get medical attention for themselves. As it is well-known, monitoring systems rely on sensor technologies. Currently, there are multiple research studies for remote monitoring using different types of sensors. In this effort, we survey the current approaches that utilize the …

Multilayer Perceptron With Auto Encoder Enabled Deep Learning Model For Recommender Systems, Subhashini Narayan

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

In this modern world of ever-increasing one-click purchases, movie bookings, music, health- care, fashion, the need for recommendations have increased the more. Google, Netflix, Spotify, Amazon and other tech giants use recommendations to customize and tailor their search engines to suit the user’s interests. Many of the existing systems are based on older algorithms which although have decent accuracies, require large training and testing datasets and with the emergence of deep learning, the accuracy of algorithms has further improved, and error rates have reduced due to the use of multiple layers. The need for large datasets has declined as well. …

Deep Feature Learning For Fog Episodes Prediction In Patients With Pd, Hadeer Elziaat, Nashwa El-Bendary, Ramdan Mowad

Future Computing and Informatics Journal

A common symptom of Parkinson's Disease is Freezing of Gait (FoG) that causes an interrupt of the forward progression of the patient’s feet while walking. Therefore, Freezing of Gait episodes is always engaged to the patient's falls. This paper proposes a model for Freezing of Gait episodes detection and prediction in patients with Parkinson's Disease. Predicting Freezing of Gait in this paper considers as a multi-class classification problem with 3 classes namely, FoG, pre-FoG, and walking episodes. In this paper, the extracted feature scheme applied for the detection and the prediction of FoG is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) spectrogram time-frequency …

Towards Secure Deep Neural Networks For Cyber-Physical Systems, Jiangnan Li

Doctoral Dissertations

In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly investigated in the literature to be employed in cyber-physical systems (CPSs). DNNs own inherent advantages in complex pattern identifying and achieve state-of-the-art performances in many important CPS applications. However, DNN-based systems usually require large datasets for model training, which introduces new data management issues. Meanwhile, research in the computer vision domain demonstrated that the DNNs are highly vulnerable to adversarial examples. Therefore, the security risks of employing DNNs in CPSs applications are of concern.

In this dissertation, we study the security of employing DNNs in CPSs from both the data domain …

Time Series Data Analysis Using Machine Learning-(Ml) Approach, Mvv Prasad Kantipudi Dr., Pradeep Kumar N.S Dr., S.Sreenath Kashyap Dr., Ss Anusha Vemuri Ms

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Healthcare benefits related to continuous monitoring of human movement and physical activity can potentially reduce the risk of accidents associated with elderly living alone at home. Based on the literature review, it is found that many studies focus on human activity recognition and are still active towards achieving practical solutions to support the elderly care system. The proposed system has introduced a joint approach of machine learning and signal processing technology for the recognition of human's physical movements using signal data generated by accelerometer sensors. The framework adopts the concept of DSP to select very descriptive feature sets and uses …

Energy Considerations In Blockchain-Enabled Applications, Cesar Enrique Castellon Escobar

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Blockchain-powered smart systems deployed in different industrial applications promise operational efficiencies and improved yields, while mitigating significant cybersecurity risks pertaining to the main application. Associated tradeoffs between availability and security arise at implementation, however, triggered by the additional resources (e.g., memory, computation) required by each blockchain-enabled host. This thesis applies an energy-reducing algorithmic engineering technique for Merkle Tree root and Proof of Work calculations, two principal elements of blockchain computations, as a means to preserve the promised security benefits but with less compromise to system availability. Using pyRAPL, a python library to measure computational energy, we experiment with both the …
