Secure Unlinkability Schemes For Privacy Preserving Data Publishing In Weighted Social Networks, Chong Kah Meng Nov 2020

Secure Unlinkability Schemes For Privacy Preserving Data Publishing In Weighted Social Networks, Chong Kah Meng

Student Works (2020-2029)

Preserving privacy of users has been one of the important research issues in social networks. Social networks contain sensitive personal information that are often released for business and research purposes. The privacy of a user can be breached if the data are not released in an anonymized form. In this thesis, we address edge weight disclosure, link disclosure and identity disclosure problems in publishing weighted network data. To counter these privacy risks while preserving high utility of the published data, we define two key privacy properties, namely edge weight unlinkability and node unlinkability. We design two novel anonymization schemes namely …


An Efficient Ddos Attack Detection Framework For Vehicular Communication, Kolandaisamy Raenu May 2020

An Efficient Ddos Attack Detection Framework For Vehicular Communication, Kolandaisamy Raenu

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are rapidly gaining attention due to the diversity of services that they can potentially offer. VANET is a wireless network that allows vehicles to interconnect and communicate with other nearby vehicles and Road Side Units (RSUs). In VANET, each vehicle is considered as a node which is equipped with an On-Board Unit (OBU) and an Application Unit (AU). The nodes may connect and communicate with each other directly (i.e., Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V)) or through RSUs (i.e., Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I)). This is primarily for alleviating an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) that aims to provide …


Cybersecurity Behavioural Model For Students In The Tertiary Institutions, Boluwatife Fatokun Faith Jan 2020

Cybersecurity Behavioural Model For Students In The Tertiary Institutions, Boluwatife Fatokun Faith

Student Works (2020-2029)

Humans are majorly identified as the weakest link in cybersecurity. Tertiary institution student’s face lot of cybersecurity issues due to their increased Internet exposure, however cybersecurity behavioural studies focusing on tertiary students is limited. This study focused on investigating tertiary institutions students’ cybersecurity behaviour, via validated cybersecurity factors, Perceived Vulnerability (PV); Perceived Barriers (PBr); Perceived Severity (PS); Security Self-Efficacy (SSE); Response Efficacy (RE); Cues to Action (CA); Peer Behaviour (PBhv); Computer Skills (CS); Internet Skills (IS); Prior Experience with Computer Security Practices (PE); Perceived Benefits (PBnf); and a newly added factor, Familiarity with Cyber-Threats (FCT), to explore the factors relationship …


Enhanced Password-Based Authentication Protocol, Chee Kiam Lee Jan 2000

Enhanced Password-Based Authentication Protocol, Chee Kiam Lee

Student Works (2000-2009)

This dissertation introduces Enhanced Password-Based Authentication Protocol (E­PAP) System. E-PAP System combines asymmetric (public-key) and symmetric (secret-key) cryptography that allow two parties sharing a small shared secret to provide authentication service, exchange confidential and authenticated information over an insecure network like lntemet. E-PAP System also provides authentication service by using somelhing you know concept. It has some advantages over biometric which uses something you are concept and smancard that uses something you have concept, as it is free of equipment's physical limitations, accuracy and cost problem as well as other constraints. The core for E-PAP System is FreeSPEKE SDK, a …


System Login Authentication Using Voice Recognition And Other Ai Methods, Azizul Hasan Zati Hakim Jan 2000

System Login Authentication Using Voice Recognition And Other Ai Methods, Azizul Hasan Zati Hakim

Student Works (2000-2009)

As computer becomes a commodity in work places and households appliances used by all - be it male or female young or old - the issue of security and privacy are increasing from day to day. Today, every user wishes for a better way to protect sensitive data. For all the talk about beefing up system security, the most effective way to breach a user's personal files and applications is to guess his or her password. That's because in the interest of easy recall, familiar terms are most preferred by users in general when it come too remembering a password. …


Packet Sniffer & Analyzer, Khoon Kok Ong Jan 2000

Packet Sniffer & Analyzer, Khoon Kok Ong

Student Works (2000-2009)

The communication of network is a complex process which cannot be seen by human beings. Even a computer that sit on a network can only knows the conversation within itself and others computer it talk to but not others computers· conversation that it didn't take part. Furthermore, the communication in network can be viewed as traffic which always triggers a lot of unsolved problems for computers to "talk. Therefore, to solve the problems we need to exactly know what really happened inside the network traffic. A variety of sniffing tools are invented for these purpose. All of these tools have …
