A Design Science Approach To Investigating Decentralized Identity Technology, Janelle Krupicka Apr 2024

A Design Science Approach To Investigating Decentralized Identity Technology, Janelle Krupicka

Cybersecurity Undergraduate Research Showcase

The internet needs secure forms of identity authentication to function properly, but identity authentication is not a core part of the internet’s architecture. Instead, approaches to identity verification vary, often using centralized stores of identity information that are targets of cyber attacks. Decentralized identity is a secure way to manage identity online that puts users’ identities in their own hands and that has the potential to become a core part of cybersecurity. However, decentralized identity technology is new and continually evolving, which makes implementing this technology in an organizational setting challenging. This paper suggests that, in the future, decentralized identity …


Secure Cloud-Based Iot Water Quality Gathering For Analysis And Visualization, Soin Abdoul Kassif Baba M Traore Dec 2022

Secure Cloud-Based Iot Water Quality Gathering For Analysis And Visualization, Soin Abdoul Kassif Baba M Traore

Symposium of Student Scholars

Water quality refers to measurable water characteristics, including chemical, biological, physical, and radiological characteristics usually relative to human needs. Dumping waste and untreated sewage are the reasons for water pollution and several diseases to the living hood. The quality of water can also have a significant impact on animals and plant ecosystems. Therefore, keeping track of water quality is a substantial national interest. Much research has been done for measuring water quality using sensors to prevent water pollution. In summary, those systems are built based on online and reagent-free water monitoring SCADA systems in wired networks. However, centralized servers, transmission …

Exploring Ai And Multiplayer In Java, Ronni Kurtzhals

Student Academic Conference

I conducted research into three topics: artificial intelligence, package deployment, and multiplayer servers in Java. This research came together to form my project presentation on the implementation of these topics, which I felt accurately demonstrated the various things I have learned from my courses at Moorhead State University. Several resources were consulted throughout the project, including the work of W3Schools and StackOverflow as well as relevant assignments and textbooks from previous classes. I found this project relevant to computer science and information systems for several reasons, such as the AI component and use of SQL data tables; but it was …

Predict The Failure Of Hydraulic Pumps By Different Machine Learning Algorithms, Yifei Zhou, Monika Ivantysynova, Nathan Keller

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Pump failure is a general concerned problem in the hydraulic field. Once happening, it will cause a huge property loss and even the life loss. The common methods to prevent the occurrence of pump failure is by preventative maintenance and breakdown maintenance, however, both of them have significant drawbacks. This research focuses on the axial piston pump and provides a new solution by the prognostic of pump failure using the classification of machine learning. Different kinds of sensors (temperature, acceleration and etc.) were installed into a good condition pump and three different kinds of damaged pumps to measure 10 of …

WiMax broadband services successfully providing triple play (Voice, Video and Data) support with combating the challenges of better quality and interoperability. Support for smooth mobility in real time with no wired infrastructure and being surrounded by GSM waves demanding a comprehensive and powerful network. Covering large areas through number of base stations which not only require time to configure but also need resources for implementation with a recurring cost of functionality. Automation is everywhere and to provide novel wireless services it is necessary to come up with some distinct features like intelligent base stations which have the capability of doing …


Wireless Networks: Spert: A Stateless Protocol For Energy-Sensitive Real-Time Routing For Wireless Sensor Network, Sohail Jabbar, Abid Ali Minhas, Raja Adeel Akhtar Aug 2009

Wireless Networks: Spert: A Stateless Protocol For Energy-Sensitive Real-Time Routing For Wireless Sensor Network, Sohail Jabbar, Abid Ali Minhas, Raja Adeel Akhtar

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Putting constraints on performance of a system in the temporal domain, some times turns right into wrong and update into outdate. These are the scenarios where apposite value of time inveterate in the reality. But such timing precision not only requires tightly scheduled performance constraints but also requires optimal design and operation of all system components. Any malfunctioning at any relevant aspect may causes a serious disaster and even loss of human lives. Managing and interacting with such real-time system becomes much intricate when the resources are limited as in wireless sensor nodes. A wireless sensor node is typically comprises …


Networks - Ii: Overhead Analysis Of Security Implementation Using Ipsec, Muhammad Awais Azam, Zaka -Ul- Mustafa, Usman Tahir, S. M. Ahsan, Muhammad Adnan Naseem, Imran Rashid, Muhammad Adeel Aug 2009

Networks - Ii: Overhead Analysis Of Security Implementation Using Ipsec, Muhammad Awais Azam, Zaka -Ul- Mustafa, Usman Tahir, S. M. Ahsan, Muhammad Adnan Naseem, Imran Rashid, Muhammad Adeel

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Authentication, access control, encryption and auditing make up the essential elements of network security. Researchers have dedicated a large amount of efforts to implement security features that fully incorporate the use of all these elements. Currently, data networks mainly provide authentication and confidentiality services. Confidentiality alone is not able to protect the system, thus, suitable security measures must be taken. However, this security is itself an overhead which must be accounted for. A trade-off must exist between performance and security. This trade-off must be carefully managed so as not to deteriorate the systems being secured. This calls for the true …


A Comparative Study And Analysis Of Pvm And Mpi For Parallel And Distributed Systems, Dr. Syed Jamal Hussain, Ghufran Ahmed Aug 2005

A Comparative Study And Analysis Of Pvm And Mpi For Parallel And Distributed Systems, Dr. Syed Jamal Hussain, Ghufran Ahmed

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Networks of Workstations (NOWs) based on various operating systems are globally accepted as the standard for computing environments in the IT industry. To harness the tremendous potential for computing capability represented by these NOWs, various new tools are being developed. Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) and Message Passing Interface (MPI) have existed on UNIX workstations for some time, and are maturing in their capability for handling Distributed Parallel Processing (DPP). This research is aimed to explore each of these two vehicles for DPP, considering capability, ease of use, and availability, and compares their distinguishing features; and also explores programmer interface and …

G-Value Decoding Of Greedy Codes, Khalil Ahmad Aug 2005

G-Value Decoding Of Greedy Codes, Khalil Ahmad

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Error-correcting codes are widely used to increase the reliability of transmission of information over various forms of communication channels. Codes with a given minimum distance d can be constructed by a greedy algorithm [2]. In this paper, I proposed a new algorithm for the allocation of g-values to the binary vectors. Hamming (7, 4, 3) code can be generated by the application of greedy algorithm on the binary vectors of length 7 arranged in B-ordering. This code is used to demonstrate a new decoding technique for linear codes in addition to the schemes already known for decoding such as Syndrome …
