Increases in cloud computing capacity, as well as decreases in the cost of processing, are moving at a fast pace. These patterns make it incumbent upon organizations to keep pace with changes in technology that significantly influence security. Cloud security auditing depends upon the environment, and the rapid growth of cloud computing is an important new context in world economics. The small price of entry, bandwidth, and processing power capability means that individuals and organizations of all sizes have more capacity and agility to exercise shifts in computation and to disrupt industry in cyberspace than more traditional domains of business economics worldwide. An analysis of prevalent cloud security issues and the utilization of cloud audit methods can mitigate security concerns. This verification methodology indicates how to use frameworks to review cloud service providers (CSPs). The key barrier to widespread uptake of cloud computing is the lack of trust in clouds by potential customers. While preventive controls for security and privacy are actively researched, there is still little focus on detective controls related to cloud accountability and auditability. The complexity resulting from large-scale virtualization and data distribution carried out in current clouds has revealed an urgent research agenda for cloud accountability, as has the shift in focus of customer concerns from servers to data.

BIOMETRIC SMARTCARD AUTHENTICATION FOR FOG COMPUTINGIJNSA Journal
In the IoT scenario, things at the edge can create significantly large amounts of data. Fog Computing has recently emerged as the paradigm to address the needs of edge computing in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. In a Fog Computing environment, much of the processing would take place closer to the edge in a router device, rather than having to be transmitted to the Fog. Authentication is an important issue for the security of fog computing since services are offered to massive-scale end users by front fog nodes.Fog computing faces new security and privacy challenges besides those inherited from cloud computing. Authentication helps to ensure and confirms a user's identity. The existing traditional password authentication does not provide enough security for the data and there have been instances when the password-based authentication has been manipulated to gain access into the data. Since the conventional methods such as passwords do not serve the purpose of data security, research worksare focused on biometric user authentication in fog computing environment. In this paper, we present biometric smartcard authentication to protect the fog computing environment.
Research On Preserving User Confidentiality In Cloud Computing – Design Of A ...IJERA Editor
Cloud Computing creates a dynamic resource sharing platform. Using cloud technologies such as virtualization, data can be provided to the active users who are at high need to utilize the resources provided within the cloud. As this data (or service) is stored (or offered) outside the data owner's boundaries, they are skeptical for utilizing cloud technology in order to store or utilize their data or service. There are many issues for these active clients (companies or individuals) to be petrified at the thought of using cloud computing paradigm. Some of the main issues that make the clients not to choose cloud computing may be determined because of three important security aspects such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This research focused on the security models that relate confidentiality issues. A literature Review is performed for analyzing the existing confidentiality frameworks and security models in the area of grid computing, cluster computing and virtualization. A new theoretical framework is then designed to overcome confidentiality issues thereby improving the client‟sgeneric understanding of cloud computing services. The resulting framework when implemented in real world would motivate clients to transform their businesses on to cloud.

Cloud computing, undoubtedly, is a path to expand the limits or add powerful capabilities on-demand with
almost no investment in new framework, training new staff, or authorizing new software. Though today
everyone is talking about cloud but, organizations are still in dilemma whether it’s safe to deploy their business
on cloud. The reason behind it; is nothing but Security. No cloud service provider provides 100% security
assurance to its customers and therefore, businesses are hesitant to accept cloud and the vast benefits that come
along with it. The absence of proper security controls delimits the benefits of cloud. In this paper, a review on
different cloud service models and a survey of the different security challenges and issues while providing

Cloud computing has changed the entire process that distributed computing used to present e.g. Grid
computing, server client computing. Cloud computing describes recent developments in many existing IT
technologies and separates application and information resources from the underlying infrastructure.
Cloud computing security is an important aspect of quality of service from cloud service providers.
Security concerns arise as soon as one begins to run applications beyond the designated firewall and move
closer towards the public domain. In violation of security in any component in the cloud can be disaster for
the organization (the customer) as well as for the provider. In this paper, we propose a cloud security
model and security framework that identifies security challenges in cloud computing.
Cloud computing and security issues in theIJNSA Journal
Cloud computing has formed the conceptual and infrastructural basis for tomorrow’s computing. The
global computing infrastructure is rapidly moving towards cloud based architecture. While it is important
to take advantages of could based computing by means of deploying it in diversified sectors, the security
aspects in a cloud based computing environment remains at the core of interest. Cloud based services and
service providers are being evolved which has resulted in a new business trend based on cloud technology.
With the introduction of numerous cloud based services and geographically dispersed cloud service
providers, sensitive information of different entities are normally stored in remote servers and locations
with the possibilities of being exposed to unwanted parties in situations where the cloud servers storing
those information are compromised. If security is not robust and consistent, the flexibility and advantages
that cloud computing has to offer will have little credibility. This paper presents a review on the cloud
computing concepts as well as security issues inherent within the context of cloud computing and cloud
infrastructure.
Today, in the world of communication, connected systems is growing at a rapid pace. To accommodate this growth the need for computational power and storage is also increasing at a similar rate. Companies are investing a large amount of resources in buying, maintaining and ensuring availability of the system to their customers. To mitigate these issues, cloud computing is playing a major role [1]. The underlying concept of cloud computing dates back to the ‘50s but the term entering into widespread usage can be traced to 2006 when Amazon.com announced the Elastic Compute Cloud. In this paper, we will discuss about cloud security approaches. We have used the term “CloudDrain” to define data leakage in case of security compromise.
This presentation will provide you with all the information, you need to know about cloud computing. It will give a description of cloud computing and related issues from top to bottom with lots of survey results, definitions from different white papers and security concerns from worth mentioning research papers.

Security Issues’ in Cloud Computing and its Solutions. IJCERT JOURNAL
Cloud computing is a set of IT services that are provided to a customer over a network on a leased basis and with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Usually cloud computing services are delivered by a third party provider who owns the infrastructure. It advantages to mention but a few include scalability, resilience, flexibility, efficiency and outsourcing non-core activities. Cloud computing offers an innovative business model for organizations to adopt IT services without upfront investment. Despite the potential gains achieved from the cloud computing, the organizations are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges associated with it. Security is one of the major issues which hamper the growth of cloud. The idea of handing over important data to another company is worrisome; such that the consumers need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data breaches in this new environment. This paper introduces a detailed analysis of the cloud computing security issues and challenges focusing on the cloud computing types and the service delivery types.

Security and Privacy Solutions in Cloud Computing at Openstack to Sustain Use...Zac Darcy
Cloud computing is an emerging model of service provision that has the advantage of minimizing costs
through sharing and storage of resources combined with a demand provisioning mechanism relying on
pay-per-use business model. Cloud computing features direct impact on information technology (IT)
budgeting but pose detrimental impacts on privacy and security mechanisms especially where sensitive
data is to be held offshore by third parties. Even though cloud computing environment promises new
benefits to organizations, it also presents its fair share of potential risks. It is considered as a double edge
sword considering the privacy and security standpoints. However, despite its potential to offer a low cost
security, customer organizations may increase the risks by storing their sensitive information in the cloud.
Therefore, this study focuses on privacy and security issues that pose a challenge in maintaining a level of
assurance that is sufficient enough to sustain confidence in potential users.
In this study, survey questions were sent to different non-profit and government organizations, which
assisted in collecting fundamental information. The data was acquired by conducting surveys in OpenStack
Company to identify the critical vulnerabilities in the cloud computing platform in order to provide the
recommended solutions.
So, analysis will be made on how the cloud’s characteristics such as the nature of the architecture,
attractiveness, as well as, vulnerability are tightly related to privacy and security issues. Privacy and
security are complex issues for which there is no standard and the relationship between them is necessarily
complicated. The study also highlight on the inherent challenge to data privacy because it typically results
in data to be presented in an encryption from the data owner. Thus, the study aimed at obtaining a common
goal to provide a comprehensive review of the existing security and privacy issues in cloud environments,
and identify and describe the most representative of the security and privacy attributes and present a
relationship among them.
Finally, in order to ensure that the standard measure of validity is achieved, validity test was conducted in
order to ensure that the study is free from errors. Various recommendations were provided. The study also
explored various areas that require future directions for each attribute, which comprise of multi-domain
policy integration and a secure service composition to design a comprehensive policy-based management
framework in the cloud environments.
Lastly, the recommendations will provide the potential for security and privacy approaches that can be
implemented to improve the cloud computing environment to ensure that a level of trust is achieved

In a Fog Computing environment, much of the processing would take place closer to the edge in a router device, rather than having to be transmitted to the Fog. Authentication is an important issue for the security of fog computing since services are offered to massive-scale end users by front fog nodes.Fog computing faces new security and privacy challenges besides those inherited from cloud computing. Authentication helps to ensure and confirms a user's identity. The existing traditional password authentication does not provide enough security for the data and there have been instances when the password-based authentication has been manipulated to gain access into the data. Since the conventional methods such as passwords do not serve the purpose of data security, research worksare focused on biometric user authentication in fog computing environment. In this paper, we present biometric smartcard authentication to protect the fog computing environment.
A traditional computing environment requires a costly
infrastructure to offer a better service to users. The introduction
of cloud computing has changed the working environment from
traditional to virtual. A larger number of IT companies are
utilizing the cloud. On the one hand, the cloud attracts more
number of consumers by offering services with minimized
capital cost and virtual infrastructure. On the other hand, there
are a risk and security challenges in cloud computing that
makes the user not to move completely towards it. The cloud
environment is more vulnerable to security breaches and data
theft. Moreover, insider attacks are more frequent in larger
enterprises. An unauthenticated user can cause more damage
to company reputation. The cloud service providers are trying
to provide a secure work environment for users. However,
there is a lack of global standards and policies to invoke
security measures in cloud computing. This study aims to
highlight and classify security challenges and trust issues in the
cloud environment.
The survey was conducted in various institutions and
governmental organizations in Saudi Arabia to study the
opinions of stakeholders on cloud computing security
challenges and risks.

Understanding the Determinants of Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing Arc...ijtsrd
Cloud computing is an emerging model of business computing. Cloud computing is a service, which offers customers to work over the internet. It simply states that cloud computing means storing and accessing the data and programs over the internet rather than the computer's hard disk. The data can be anything such as music, files, images, documents, and many more. The user can access the data from anywhere just with the help of an internet connection. To access cloud computing, the user should register and provide with ID and password for security reasons. The speed of transfer depends on various factors such as internet speed, the capacity of the server, and many more. In this paper, we explore the understanding the determinates of security and privacy in cloud computing, Cloud Computing architecture and We also address the characteristics and applications of several popular cloud computing platforms. We identified several challenges from the cloud computing adoption perspective and we also highlighted the cloud interoperability issue that deserves substantial further research and development. However, security and privacy issues present a strong barrier for users to adapt to cloud computing systems.

Authenticated and unrestricted auditing of big data space on cloud through v...IJMER
Cloud unlocks a different era in Information technology where it has the capability of providing the customers with a variety of scalable and flexible services. Cloud provides these services through a prepaid system, which helps the customers cut down on large investments on IT hardware
and other infrastructure. Also according to the Cloud viewpoint, customers don’t have control on their
respective data. Hence security of data is a big issue of using a Cloud service. Present work shows that
the data auditing can be done by any third party agent who is trusted and known as auditor. The auditor can verify the integrity of the data without having the ownership of the actual data. There are many disadvantages for the above approach. One of them is the absence of a required verification procedure among the auditor and service provider which means any person can ask for the verification of the file which puts this auditing at certain risk. Also in the existing scheme the data updates can be
done only for coarse granular updates i.e. blocks with the uneven size. And hence resulting in repeated communication and updating of auditor for a whole file block causing higher communication costs and
requires more storage space. In this paper, the emphasis is to give a proper breakdown for types of
fixed granular updates and put forward a design that will be capable to maintain authenticated and unrestricted auditing. Based on this system, there is also an approach for remarkably decreasing the communication costs for auditing little updates
Introduction to Cloud Computing and Cloud InfrastructureSANTHOSHKUMARKL1
Introduction, Cloud Infrastructure: Cloud computing, Cloud computing delivery models and services, Ethical issues, Cloud vulnerabilities, Cloud computing at Amazon, Cloud computing the Google perspective, Microsoft Windows Azure and online services, Open-source software platforms for private clouds.
Cloud computing is set of resources and services offered through the Internet. Cloud
services are delivered from data centers located throughout the world. Cloud computing
facilitates its consumers by providing virtual resources via internet. The biggest challenge in
cloud computing is the security and privacy problems caused by its multi-tenancy nature and the
outsourcing of infrastructure, sensitive data and critical applications. Enterprises are rapidly adopting
cloud services for their businesses, measures need to be developed so that organizations can be assured
of security in their businesses and can choose a suitable vendor for their computing needs. Cloud
computing depends on the internet as a medium for users to access the required services at any time on
pay-per-use pattern. However this technology is still in its initial stages of development, as it suffers
from threats and vulnerabilities that prevent the users from trusting it. Various malicious activities
from illegal users have threatened this technology such as data misuse, inflexible access control and
limited monitoring. The occurrence of these threats may result into damaging or illegal access of
critical and confidential data of users. In this paper we identify the most vulnerable security
threats/attacks in cloud computing, which will enable both end users and vendors to know a bout
the k ey security threats associated with cloud computing and propose relevant solution directives to
strengthen security in the Cloud environment. We also propose secure cloud architecture for
organizations to strengthen the security.
A SECURITY FRAMEWORK IN CLOUD COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTUREIJNSA Journal
In a typical cloud computing diverse facilitating components like hardware, software, firmware,
networking, and services integrate to offer different computational facilities, while Internet or a private
network (or VPN) provides the required backbone to deliver the services. The security risks to the cloud
system delimit the benefits of cloud computing like “on-demand, customized resource availability and
performance management”. It is understood that current IT and enterprise security solutions are not
adequate to address the cloud security issues. This paper explores the challenges and issues of security
concerns of cloud computing through different standard and novel solutions. We propose analysis and
architecture for incorporating different security schemes, techniques and protocols for cloud computing,
particularly in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) systems. The proposed
architecture is generic in nature, not dependent on the type of cloud deployment, application agnostic and
is not coupled with the underlying backbone. This would facilitate to manage the cloud system more
effectively and provide the administrator to include the specific solution to counter the threat. We have also
shown using experimental data how a cloud service provider can estimate the charging based on the
security service it provides and security-related cost-benefit analysis can be estimated.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management Prospects and...ijtsrd
The diversity of indigenous knowledge systems in India is vast and can vary significantly between different communities and regions. Preserving and respecting these knowledge systems is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering cross cultural understanding. In this paper, an overview of the prospects and challenges associated with incorporating Indian indigenous knowledge into management is explored. It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal
DeepMask Transforming Face Mask Identification for Better Pandemic Control in...ijtsrd
The COVID 19 pandemic has highlighted the crucial need of preventive measures, with widespread use of face masks being a key method for slowing the viruss spread. This research investigates face mask identification using deep learning as a technological solution to be reducing the risk of coronavirus transmission. The proposed method uses state of the art convolutional neural networks CNNs and transfer learning to automatically recognize persons who are not wearing masks in a variety of circumstances. We discuss how this strategy improves public health and safety by providing an efficient manner of enforcing mask wearing standards. The report also discusses the obstacles, ethical concerns, and prospective applications of face mask detection systems in the ongoing fight against the pandemic.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

However, AUDIT did not have a clear explanation of
the scope, scale, phases and layers of abstraction of
accountability. It is our aim to complement their
work. They also proposed an approach for
accountable VMs [24], and discussed a case study on
the application to detect cheats in an online multi-

Secure provenance [28] and privacy-aware
provenance [29] have also been proposed for cloud
computing systems, as provenance information may
contain or expose sensitive, confidential or
proprietary information directly or indirectly.
Proposed System
Finally, we propose architecture to continuously audit
cloud services in a practically and economically
feasible manner. Our conceptual architecture
highlights important components (i.e., various
interfaces and auditing management modules) as well
as processes that have to be implemented. However,
methodologies to efficiently and continuously audit
cloud services are still in their infancy. With our
study, a first step to increase trustworthiness of CSC
is provided by conceptualizing architecture to
continuously audit cloud services.
Continuous Auditing:
When you hear the word “audit,” you probably don’t
think about an ongoing, regular process. Instead, your
stomach might drop a little at the thought of an
examination by the IRS, or maybe you’ve established
a periodic internal assessment. Continuous auditing,
however, can be an ally in keeping your system
secure, and with advancements in technology, it’s not
that intimidating to take advantage of it. In fact,
some managed service providers take care of the
details, tailoring a continuous audit system to your
organization’s unique needs.

Fig. 1 Continuous Auditing in cloud
Process of Continuous Auditing:
According to a white paper by the American Institute
of CPAs (AICPA), companies have successfully used
continuous auditing and continuous monitoring
(CA/CM) processes to make better decisions about
risk by analyzing key business data and metrics,
giving them an important competitive advantage. By
constantly tracking your data system, you can
evaluate it against industry regulations, such as PCI,
and identify deviations or risks faster. Because
breaches in compliance or information security can
quickly spiral out of control, it’s a huge advantage to
be able to recognize and respond to any issues before
much time elapses.
Advantage of continuous auditing services
When working with a cloud service provider, you
should inquire into their continuous auditing
offerings, such as Tripwire Configuration
Assessment. You can partner with your provider to
track your system according to your own custom
rules, ensuring that the monitoring process addresses
your specific infrastructure setup and the metrics that
are important to your business.
Continuous auditing services can give you peace of
mind knowing that any deviations from a trusted
system state will trigger alerts in real-time. Real-time
reporting makes it possible to react to system changes
without compromising performance or compliance,
helping to keep your solution secure.

scheme for the seamless integration. To achieve
efficient data dynamics, we improve the existing
proof of storage models by manipulating the classic
Merkle Hash Tree construction for block tag
authentication.
D. Experimental evaluation
A digital signature or digital signature scheme is a
mathematical scheme for demonstrating the
authenticity of a digital message or document. A valid
digital signature gives a recipient reason to believe
that the message was created by a known sender, and
that it was not altered in transit. Digital signatures are
commonly used for software distribution, financial
transactions, and in other cases where it is important
to detect forgery or tampering. Digital signatures
employ a type of asymmetric cryptography. For
messages sent through a non secure channel, a
properly implemented digital signature gives the
receiver reason to believe the message was sent by the
claimed sender. Digital signatures are equivalent to
traditional handwritten signatures in many respects;
properly implemented digital signatures are more
difficult to forge than the handwritten type. Digital
signature schemes in the sense used here are
cryptographically based, and must be implemented
properly to be effective. Digital signatures can also
provide non-repudiation, meaning that the signer
cannot successfully claim they did not sign a message,
while also claiming their private key remains secret;
further, some non-repudiation schemes offer a time
stamp for the digital signature, so that even if the
private key is exposed, the signature is valid
nonetheless.
CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we establish the urgent need for research
in cloud accountability. We propose detective rather
than preventive approaches to increasing
accountability. Detective approaches complement
preventive approaches as they are non-invasive, and
enable the investigation not only of external risks, but
also risks from within the CSP. With the shift in end-
users’ concerns from system health and performance
to the integrity and accountability of data stored in the
cloud, we require a file-centric perspective, on top of
the usual system-centric perspective for logging.
Using the abstraction layers defined via the
TrustCloud framework, we were able to list several
cloud accountability issues previously not mentioned
in cloud computing literature.
We intend to develop a system based on the
TrustCloud framework that gives cloud users a single
point of view for accountability of the CSP. We are
currently researching and developing solutions for
each accountability layer, with one example being a
logging mechanism for the system layer.
