BioPay: A Secure Payment Gateway through Biometrics

Due to emerging technological developments, major enhancements are taking place in the area of a secure and quick transaction. BioPay being a secure payment method is a one-step ahead. In the proposed methodology, there is no involvement of any credit or debit card or any other account information like OTP or CVV; it solely depends upon some unique identifying characteristic of a human known as biometrics. This work proposes a novel method that allows users to complete transactions quickly and securely using face and finger recognition. The transaction initiates with scanning face features and matching it with the database which in turn retrieves all the information associated with that customer account. After that, the system will scan the fingerprints of the subject and verify the transaction. This methodology can be implemented in ATMs and smartphones resulting in enhanced security and flexibility for payment purposes.

Augmenting security for electronic patient health record (ePHR) monitoring system using cryptographic key management schemes

Security plays a major role in most fields including the pharmaceutical field. Authorization and Authentication are the key concepts in supporting notable areas of the cyber-health world. HIPAA's (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) ultimate focus is to preserve the privacy of the health records of an individual without disclosing it and preventing the data from unauthorized access. A complaint key management solution is applied to the patient's health records to reduce the risk factor while engaging with cryptographic mechanisms. Though there are many existing cryptographic algorithms such as Elliptic curve cryptography, and Elgammal's key exchange algorithm which provides security to the access of patient's health records, the proposed key management solution will overlay the same variant of security to the Electronic Health Records (EHR). This paper provides the countermeasures for improving security and suggests a key recovery mechanism for the protection of keys used in the security mechanism.

Efficient Share Generator for Slicing and Securely Retrieving the Cloud-Hosted Heterogeneous Multimedia Data

Recently, the security of heterogeneous multimedia data becomes a very critical issue, substantially with the proliferation of multimedia data and applications. Cloud computing is the hidden back-end for storing heterogeneous multimedia data. Notwithstanding that using cloud storage is indispensable, but the remote storage servers are untrusted. Therefore, one of the most critical challenges is securing multimedia data storage and retrieval from the untrusted cloud servers. This paper applies a Shamir Secrete-Sharing scheme and integrates with cloud computing to guarantee efficiency and security for sensitive multimedia data storage and retrieval. The proposed scheme can fully support the comprehensive and multilevel security control requirements for the cloud-hosted multimedia data and applications. In addition, our scheme is also based on a source transformation that provides powerful mutual interdependence in its encrypted representation—the  Share Generator slices and encrypts the multimedia data before sending it to the cloud storage. The extensive experimental evaluation on various configurations confirmed the effectiveness and efficiency of our scheme, which showed excellent performance and compatibility with several implementation strategies.

A Trustworthy Learning Technique for Securing Industrial Internet of Things Systems

Since the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks comprise heterogeneous manufacturing and technological devices and services, discovering advanced cyber threats is an arduous and risk-prone process. Cyber-attack detection techniques have been recently emerged to understand the process of obtaining knowledge about cyber threats to collect evidence. These techniques have broadly employed for identifying malicious events of cyber threats to protect organizations’ assets. The main limitation of these systems is that they are not able to discover and interpret new attack activities. This paper proposes a new adversarial deep learning for discovering adversarial attacks in IIoT networks. Evaluation of correlation reduction has been used as a means of feature selection for reducing the impact of data poisoning attacks on the subsequent deep learning techniques. Feed Forward Deep Neural Networks have been developed using across various parameter permutations, at differing rates of data poisoning, to develop a robust deep learning architecture. The results of the proposed technique have been compared with previously developed deep learning models, proving the increased robustness of the new deep learning architectures across the ToN_IoT datasets.

A Survey on Web Service Discovery Approaches

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an approach to building distributed systems that deliver application functionality as services that are language and platform-independent. Web service is one of the fundamental technologies in implementing SOA-based applications. Web services are modular, self-describing, self-contained, and loosely coupled applications that can be published, located, and invoked across the web. As the number of web services is increased, finding a set of suitable web service candidates with regard to a user’s requirement becomes a challenge. Web service discovery is the process of finding the most suitable service by matching service descriptions against service requests. Various approaches for web service discovery have been proposed. In this paper, we present an overview of different approaches for web service discovery described in the literature and try to classify them into different categories. We also determine the advantages and disadvantages of each category. The goal is to help researchers to propose a new approach or to select the most appropriate existing approach for service discovery.

SVN-Ostrowski Type Inequalities for ϕ-λ-convex in 1^st kind

In this paper, we would like to state well-known Ostrowski inequality via ϕ-λ-convex in 1^st kind by using the SVN-Reimann integrals. In addition, we establish some SVN-Ostrowski type inequalities for the class of functions whose derivatives in absolute values at certain powers are ϕ-λ-convex in 1^st kind by using different techniques including Hölder’s inequality and power mean inequality. We are introducing very first time that the class of ϕ-λ-convex in 1^st kind, which is the generalization of many important classes including class of h-convex, Godunova-Levin s-convex, s-convex in the 2^nd kind and hence contains class of convex. It also contains class of P-convex and class of Godunova-Levin functions. In this way we also capture the results with respect to convexity of functions.

Robust Neural Language Translation Model Formulation using Seq2seq approach

In this work, the approach used is to sequence powerful models that have achieved excellent performance on language translation encoding-decoding tasks. A language transformer model is used in this work based on the sequence-to-sequence approach, which uses a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to map the input sequence to a vector of fixed dimensionality. Then another deep LSTM decodes the target sequence from the vector. Evaluated the model efficiency through BLEU score and LSTM's BLEU score was penalized on out-of-vocabulary words. Additionally, the LSTM did not have difficulty with long-short of sentences. This work performed the deep LSTM setup English-Japanese translation accuracy at an order of magnitude faster speed, both on GPU and CPU. The variety of the data is introduced into it to evaluate the robustness using the BLEU score. Finally, a better result is achieved by merging the two different types of datasets and getting the highest BLEU score of 40.1 at the end.

Authentication and Encryption of IoT Devices Based on Elliptic Curves: A survey

With the progressive development of a wide range of applications that interconnect things, internet of things (IoT) become an imperative required trend by industries and academicians. IoT allows these things to be remotely accessed or controlled depending on internet protocol (IP) networks. This technology increases accuracy and efficiency of the tasks relied on, also facilitate daily people life. The huge applications domain infrastructure which depends on IoT, requires a trusted connection to guarantee a security and privacy while transferring data. IoT Privacy insurance essentially encounter many challenges to apply effective authentication protocols and procedures due to heterogeneous and dynamic nature. A lot of researches and theses have offered multiple ways for data authentication schemes depending on the underlying system architecture and a treatment to the security breaching problem caused by flaws and weak points in previous schemes.  This paper provides complete and up-to-date review of lightweight cryptography for IoT authentication based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). ECC has many advantages if compared with other cryptographic systems. It is ideal to be implemented in most IoT devices specially in resource constrained devices with optimum implementation. That has been accomplished through delving into schemes with detailed explanation to guide future researchers in IoT lightweight authentication field. Furthermore, a comparison was performed with the proposals presented in the study to identify the considerations to design lightweight ECC scheme..
