EFFICACY OF ATTACK DETECTION CAPABILITY OF IDPS BASED ON ITS DEPLOYMENT IN WI...IJNSA Journal
Intrusion Detection and/or Prevention Systems (IDPS) represent an important line of defence against a variety of attacks that can compromise the security and proper functioning of an enterprise information system. Along with the widespread evolution of new emerging services, the quantity and impact of attacks have continuously increased, attackers continuously find vulnerabilities at various levels, from the network itself to operating system and applications, exploit them to crack system and services. Network defence and network monitoring has become an essential component of computer security to predict and prevent attacks. Unlike traditional Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) have additional features to secure computer networks.
In this paper, we present a detailed study of how deployment of an IDPS plays a key role in its performance and the ability to detect and prevent known as well as unknown attacks. We categorize IDPS based on deployment as Network-based, host-based, and Perimeter-based and Hybrid. A detailed comparison is shown in this paper and finally we justify our proposed solution, which deploys agents at host-level to give better performance in terms of reduced rate of false positives and accurate detection and prevention.
Efficient radio resource allocation scheme for 5G networks with device-to-devi...IJECEIAES
A vital technology in the next-generation cellular network is device-to-device (D2D) communication. Cellular user enabled with D2D communication provides high spectral efficiency and further increases the coverage area of the cell, especially for the end-cell users and blind spot areas. However, the implementation of D2D communication increases interference among the cellular and D2D users. In this paper, we proposed a radio resource allocation (RRA) algorithm to manage the interference using fractional frequency reuse (FFR) scheme and Hungarian algorithm. The proposed algorithm is divided into three parts. First, the FFR scheme allocates different frequency bands among the cell (inner and outer region) for both the cellular and the D2D users to reduce the interference. Second, the Hungarian weighted bipartite matching algorithm is used to allocate the resources to D2D users with the minimum total system interference, while maintaining the total system sum rate. The cellular users share the resources with more than one D2D pair. Lastly, the local search technique of swapping is used for further allocation to minimize the interference. We implemented two types of assignments, fair multiple assignment, and restricted multiple assignment. We compared our results with existing algorithms which verified that our proposed algorithm provides outstanding results in aspects like interference reduction and system sum rate. For restricted multiple assignment, 60-70% of the D2D users are allocated in average cases.

Multi port network ethernet performance improvement techniquesIJARIIT
An Ethernet has its own importance and space in network subsystem. In today’s resource-intensive engineering the
applications need to deal with the real-time data processing, server virtualization, and high-volume data transactions. The realtime
technologies such as video on demand and Voice over IP operations demand the network devices with efficient network
data processing as well as better networking bandwidth. The performance is the major issues with the multi-port network
devices. It requires the sufficient network bandwidth and CPU processing speed to process the real-time data at the context.
And this demand is goes on increasing. The new multi-port hardware technologies can help to improvements in the
performance of the virtualized server environments. But, these hardware technologies having their own limitations in terms of
CPU utilization levels and power consumption. It also impacts on latency and the overall system cost. This thesis will provide
the insights to some of the key configuration decisions at hardware as well as software designs in order to facilitate multi-port
network devices performance improvement over the existing infrastructure. This thesis will also discuss the solutions such as
Virtual LAN and balanced or symmetric network to reduce the cost and hardware dependency to improve the multi-port
network system performance significantly over the currently existing infrastructure. This performance improvement includes
CPU utilization and bandwidth in the heavy network loads.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
