Web site design is the most crucial factor influencing the online e-commerce business. It determines the customer's trust in the products and owners, increasing sales and recognizing its brand. There is currently no reference to understanding Malaysian university students' user preference in web site design. For this study, we evaluated Malaysian university students' user preferences for website design attributes mainly comprised of (interactivity, navigation typography, colour, and content quality). The analysis of the user preferences on the website attributes, the relationship of the attributes with the Malaysian cultures, and the findings based on the three Malaysian mostly visited bookstore websites …


A Theoretical Framework For The Adoption Of Cloud Computing In Hospital Information Systems, Shady Gomaa Abdulaziz Jan 2021

A Theoretical Framework For The Adoption Of Cloud Computing In Hospital Information Systems, Shady Gomaa Abdulaziz

Student Works (2020-2029)

Cloud Computing (CC) is becoming a favourable trend in managing digital data. However, there is a low CC adoption rate in Health-Care Institutions (HCIs) than in other industries due to many reasons like awareness, staff, and costs. This research aims to: (1) investigate the CC adoption in the Saudi Health-Care Institutions (SHCIs), (2) determine the factors that influence the CC adoption in selected SHCIs, (3) develop a theoretical framework for the deployment of CC adoption in selected HCIs based on factors determined earlier, and (4) validate a research framework for the adoption of CC in SHCIs. The purpose of this …


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 …


A Partition Based Feature Selection Approach For Mixed Data Clustering, Ashish Dutt Oct 2020

A Partition Based Feature Selection Approach For Mixed Data Clustering, Ashish Dutt

Student Works (2020-2029)

Presently, educational institutions compile and store huge volumes of data, such as student enrolment and attendance records, as well as their examination results. Mining such data yields stimulating information that serves its handlers well. Rapid growth in educational data points to the fact that distilling massive amounts of data requires a more sophisticated set of algorithms. This issue led to the emergence of the field of Educational Data Mining (EDM). Traditional data mining algorithms cannot be directly applied to educational problems, as they may have a specific objective and function. This implies that a pre-processing algorithm has to be enforced …


Enhancing A Cluster-Based Tdma Mac Protocol For Vehicle-To-Vehicle Communications, Abubakar Bello Tambawal Oct 2020

Enhancing A Cluster-Based Tdma Mac Protocol For Vehicle-To-Vehicle Communications, Abubakar Bello Tambawal

Student Works (2020-2029)

Vehicular Ad hoc Network technology (VANET) is one of the emerging and promising wireless technology, providing support for vehicles to communicate and share resources, (such as safety messages) through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Sequel to that the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) MAC protocol using a cluster-based topology has been proposed by the research community. Most of the existing research works focused on the cluster head (CH) election with very few addressing other critical issues, including cluster formation, efficient time slot allocation, and cluster maintenance. These challenges result in an unstable cluster, which could affect the timely delivery of safety applications. …

An Enhancement Of Age And Gender Classification Accuracy With Hybrid Handcrafted And Deep Features Using Hierarchical Extreme Learning Machine, Mohammad Javidan Darugar

Student Works (2020-2029)

Age and gender classification are some of the essential algorithms that have many use cases in our everyday life. For example, in robotics, field robots can interact with a human base on their gender in data analysis, to have statistics about age and gender of audiences in social events, YouTube video analysis, and many other applications. In this research, we have addressed limitations in deep neural networks, which by overcoming this limitation, we can gain better accuracy and performance. Our study has several other possible applications which are not limited only to age and gender classification. This dissertation is about …

An Analysis Of A Private-Key Cryptosystem, Wei-Wey Tan Jan 2002

An Analysis Of A Private-Key Cryptosystem, Wei-Wey Tan

Student Works (2000-2009)

In this dissertation, we have presented a new block cipher. The proposed block cipher is a Substitution-Permutation network cryptosystem with a block length of 128 bits and key length of 256 bits. With the increased key length and block size, the proposed block cipher has greater security over DES. A modular design approach was applied. The cipher has three major building blocks and their interaction has been carefully chosen to achieve better security and performance. Algorithmic S­-Boxes are used to provide confusion and nonlinearity in the cipher. The proposed cipher uses a highly diffusive diffusion layer, which is a combination …


Internet Information Server Scanner : Scanning On Url Vulnerabilities, Yu Jin Tan Jan 2002

Internet Information Server Scanner : Scanning On Url Vulnerabilities, Yu Jin Tan

Student Works (2000-2009)

This dissertation analyzes weaknesses on web servers, focusing on Microsoft's Internet Information Server (HS). As part of the research, an HS scanner (HS-SCAN) has been implemented to probe only on URL vulnerabilities. The need for a vulnerability scanner stems from the alarming number of successful attacks on computer systems that are connected to the Internet. The security flaws threatening e-businesses and the Internet community has prompted bona fide defense measures. Internet firewalls - gateways controlling access between one network and all the others - became a must-have for any organization connecting to the Net. If the firewall is considered the …


The Effectiveness Of Detection Methods In Intrusion Detection Systems, Hafiz Mohd Sarim Jan 2002

The Effectiveness Of Detection Methods In Intrusion Detection Systems, Hafiz Mohd Sarim

Student Works (2000-2009)

Access control mechanisms included in operating systems are not very effective in preventing intrusions by the most determined of attackers. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a security software that is able to detect an intrusion when it occurs and can potentially prevent a system compromise from being completed. The actual detection is done by the detection method used by the IDS. Four detection methods are discussed and assessed in terms of their effectiveness in repelling intrusion types, vulnerability to classification errors; and also performance in practical implementation. Recommendations are made to improve the general effectiveness of the detection methods …

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 …
