WIRELESS SECURITY MEASUREMENT USING DATA VALUE INDEXIJNSA Journal
Nowadays, use of wireless technology in organizations is a regular act, and we can see this technology erupted in all possible different areas. Related to employing wireless technology those organizations need to apply properly security level, depend on security policy which already defined. If security system applied but not required, or security system required but not provided, leads to improper security system. In this paper we have shown the way to evaluate the data significant and their appropriate security level. Here a model to evaluate the cost of data on security point of view by consideration of some parameters like sensitivity, volume, life, frequency, etc…, this research makes organizations to predict and implement or understand the cost involved for security of their data by measuring the data value. We used questionnaire and survey methodologies to collect the data; and then used SPSS and SAS program to calculate and design a model. In this way regression and BOOTSTARP help us to find accurate result.
Attacks on the enterprise are getting increasingly sophisticated. Current solutions available do not seem to be adequate given the innovativeness, precision and persistence of these attacks in different forms and of different dimensions. Organisations thus want to increase the sophistication of their employees and also of the solutions to be deployed given this backdrop.
The document provides guidelines for data security practices. It summarizes revisions made in three areas: web application security, mobile device security, and data breach incident response. The full guidelines are divided into five parts addressing administrative, technical, physical, incident response, and breach notification safeguards. Companies can use the checklist format to evaluate their own risk levels and adopt appropriate practices. The guidelines aim to help protect privacy by establishing a foundation of responsible data security.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS’ NEED TO ADDRESS SECURITY FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT C...IJNSA Journal
The need for information security within small to mid-size companies is increasing. The risks of information security breach, data loss, and disaster are growing. The impact of IT outages and issues on the company are unacceptable to any size business and their clients. There are many ways to address the security for IT departments. The need to address risks of attacks as well as disasters is important to the IT security policies and procedures. The IT departments of small to medium companies have to address these security concerns within their budgets and other limited resources.Security planning, design, and employee training that is needed requires input and agreement from all levels of the company and management. This paper will discuss security needs and methods to implement them into a corporate infrastructure.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey on global information security trends. It finds that while social media and cloud computing present new security risks, companies are taking steps to manage these risks such as monitoring employee social media use and ensuring virtualized environments are properly configured. It also notes that while outsourcing of security functions had been expected to grow, the economic downturn has led more companies to keep these functions in-house. Overall security budgets are holding steady despite cost-cutting in other areas.
This document discusses mobile security for businesses. It begins by noting that mobile devices present new security risks that companies often only address reactively after a breach. However, mobile security allows businesses to capitalize on opportunities from mobile applications if done properly. The document then provides an overview of common mobile security threats like malware, privacy issues, and social engineering. It concludes by offering a 7-step checklist for better mobile security practices that IT administrators can implement, including securing devices with passwords and preparing phone location/remote wipe services.

This document summarizes an article from the International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Engineering & Technology about developing an artificial neural network based clustering method for atmospheric conditions prediction in Indian cities. The method uses Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) neural networks to form clusters of cities based on their monthly atmospheric condition data (temperature, pressure, humidity). ART networks can self-organize to create stable clusters while learning new patterns. The authors apply city data to an ART network to create clusters representing associations between cities with similar atmospheric conditions. This allows predicting conditions in one city based on patterns from another in the same cluster. The ART-based clustering method shows cities grouped in the same cluster have comparable monthly atmospheric conditions.
This document presents a proposed approach called ICCC (Information Correctness to the Customers in Cloud Data Storage) to provide customers with proof of the correctness of their data stored in the cloud. The ICCC approach aims to minimize storage and computation costs for both customers and cloud storage providers. It involves the customer pre-processing their file by generating and encrypting metadata about random bits of each data block before uploading the file. This metadata is appended to the file. To verify correctness, the customer challenges the cloud storage provider by specifying a data block and bit, and the provider must return the correct metadata bit. This allows verification with minimal access to the entire file and low overhead for both parties.

This document summarizes a research paper on tracking multiple targets using the mean shift algorithm. It begins by stating that multi-target tracking is challenging due to factors like noise, clutter, occlusions, and sudden changes in velocity. The mean shift algorithm is then introduced as a kernel-based tracking method that works by iteratively shifting target locations to their mean shifts. Targets are represented using histograms within elliptical regions. The Bhattacharyya coefficient is used to measure similarity between target models and candidates. Experimental results on a video sequence show the algorithm can accurately track targets under small displacements but performance degrades for large displacements, fast motion, or occlusions. In conclusion, the mean shift algorithm provides a simple method for multi

AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR INFORMATION SECURITY AWARENESS RAISING INITIATIVESijcsit
Increasingly, all kinds of organizations and institutions are adopting the E-business model to conduct their
activities and provide E-Services for their customers. In the process, whether they know it or not, those
organizations are also opening themselves up to the risk of information security breaches. Therefore
protecting an organization’s ICT infrastructure, IT systems, and Data is a vital issue that is often
underestimated. Research has shown that one of the most significant threats to information security comes
not from external attack but rather from the system's users, because they are familiar with the
infrastructure and have access to its resources, but may be unaware of the risks. Moreover, using only
technological solutions to protect an organization’s assets is not enough; there is a need to consider the
human factor by raising users’ security awareness. Our contribution to this problem is to propose an
Information Security Awareness Program that aims at raising and maintaining the level of users’ security
awareness. This paper puts forward a general model for an information security awareness program and
describes how it could be incorporated into an organization’s website through the process of development
life cycle.
Securing the Internet of Things (IoT) requires new ways of thinking that can defend the enterprise and its customers against attackers and privacy abuses. Understand the threats, and map your plan of action.

Electrically small antennas: The art of miniaturizationEditor IJARCET
We are living in the technological era, were we preferred to have the portable devices rather than unmovable devices. We are isolating our self rom the wires and we are becoming the habitual of wireless world what makes the device portable? I guess physical dimensions (mechanical) of that particular device, but along with this the electrical dimension is of the device is also of great importance. Reducing the physical dimension of the antenna would result in the small antenna but not electrically small antenna. We have different definition for the electrically small antenna but the one which is most appropriate is, where k is the wave number and is equal to and a is the radius of the imaginary sphere circumscribing the maximum dimension of the antenna. As the present day electronic devices progress to diminish in size, technocrats have become increasingly concentrated on electrically small antenna (ESA) designs to reduce the size of the antenna in the overall electronics system. Researchers in many fields, including RF and Microwave, biomedical technology and national intelligence, can benefit from electrically small antennas as long as the performance of the designed ESA meets the system requirement.
This document provides a comparative study of two-way finite automata and Turing machines. Some key points:
- Two-way finite automata are similar to read-only Turing machines in that they have a finite tape that can be read in both directions, but cannot write to the tape.
- Turing machines have an infinite tape that can be read from and written to, allowing them to recognize recursively enumerable languages.
- Both models are examined in their ability to accept the regular language L={anbm|m,n>0}.
- The time complexity of a two-way finite automaton for this language is O(n2) due to making two passes over the
This document analyzes and compares the performance of the AODV and DSDV routing protocols in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) simulation. Simulations were conducted using NS-2, SUMO, and MOVE simulators for a grid map scenario with varying numbers of nodes. The results show that AODV performed better than DSDV in terms of throughput and packet delivery fraction, while DSDV had lower end-to-end delays. However, neither protocol was found to be fully suitable for the highly dynamic VANET environment. The document concludes that further work is needed to develop improved routing protocols optimized for VANETs.

The document concludes that with precautions like limiting exposure time and using phones with lower SAR ratings, microwaves from cell phones pose minimal health risks.
This document summarizes a research paper that examines the effect of feature reduction in sentiment analysis of online reviews. It uses principle component analysis to reduce the number of features (product attributes) from a dataset of 500 camera reviews labeled as positive or negative. Two models are developed - one using the original set of 95 product attributes, and one using the reduced set. Support vector machines and naive Bayes classifiers are applied to both models and their performance is evaluated to determine if classification accuracy can be maintained while using fewer features. The results show it is possible to achieve similar accuracy levels with less features, improving computational efficiency.
This document provides a review of multispectral palm image fusion techniques. It begins with an introduction to biometrics and palm print identification.

This document describes a vehicle theft detection system that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The system involves embedding an RFID chip in each vehicle that continuously transmits a unique identification signal. When a vehicle is stolen, the owner reports it to the police, who upload the vehicle's information to a central database. Police vehicles are equipped with RFID receivers. If a stolen vehicle passes within range of a receiver, the receiver detects the vehicle's ID signal and displays its details on a tablet. This allows police to quickly identify and recover stolen vehicles. The system aims to make it difficult for thieves to hide a vehicle's identity and allows vehicles to be tracked globally wherever the detection system is implemented.
This document discusses and compares two techniques for image denoising using wavelet transforms: Dual-Tree Complex DWT and Double-Density Dual-Tree Complex DWT. Both techniques decompose an image corrupted by noise using filter banks, apply thresholding to the wavelet coefficients, and reconstruct the image. The Double-Density Dual-Tree Complex DWT yields better denoising results than the Dual-Tree Complex DWT as it produces more directional wavelets and is less sensitive to shifts and noise variance. Experimental results on test images demonstrate that the Double-Density method achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratios, especially at higher noise levels.
This document compares the k-means and grid density clustering algorithms. It summarizes that grid density clustering determines dense grids based on the densities of neighboring grids, and is able to handle different shaped clusters in multi-density environments. The grid density algorithm does not require distance computation and is not dependent on the number of clusters being known in advance like k-means. The document concludes that grid density clustering is better than k-means clustering as it can handle noise and outliers, find arbitrary shaped clusters, and has lower time complexity.
This document proposes a method for detecting, localizing, and extracting text from videos with complex backgrounds. It involves three main steps:
1. Text detection uses corner metric and Laplacian filtering techniques independently to detect text regions. Corner metric identifies regions with high curvature, while Laplacian filtering highlights intensity discontinuities. The results are combined through multiplication to reduce noise.
2. Text localization then determines the accurate boundaries of detected text strings.
3. Text binarization filters background pixels to extract text pixels for recognition. Thresholding techniques are used to convert localized text regions to binary images.
The method exploits different text properties to detect text using corner metric and Laplacian filtering. Combining the results improves
This document describes the design and implementation of a low power 16-bit arithmetic logic unit (ALU) using clock gating techniques. A variable block length carry skip adder is used in the arithmetic unit to reduce power consumption and improve performance. The ALU uses a clock gating circuit to selectively clock only the active arithmetic or logic unit, reducing dynamic power dissipation from unnecessary clock charging/discharging. The ALU was simulated in VHDL and synthesized for a Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA, achieving a maximum frequency of 65.19MHz at 1.98mW power dissipation, demonstrating improved performance over a conventional ALU design.
This document describes using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithms (GA) to tune the parameters of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system. PSO and GA are used to minimize the objective function by adjusting the PID parameters to achieve optimal step response with minimal overshoot, settling time, and rise time. The results show that PSO provides high-quality solutions within a shorter calculation time than other stochastic methods.
This document discusses implementing trust negotiations in multisession transactions. It proposes a framework that supports voluntary and unexpected interruptions, allowing negotiating parties to complete negotiations despite temporary unavailability of resources. The Trust-x protocol addresses issues related to validity, temporary loss of data, and extended unavailability of one negotiator. It allows a peer to suspend an ongoing negotiation and resume it with another authenticated peer. Negotiation portions and intermediate states can be safely and privately passed among peers to guarantee stability for continued suspended negotiations. An ontology is also proposed to provide formal specification of concepts and relationships, which is essential in complex web service environments for sharing credential information needed to establish trust.
This document discusses and compares various nature-inspired optimization algorithms for resolving the mixed pixel problem in remote sensing imagery, including Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). It provides an overview of each algorithm, explaining key concepts like migration and mutation in BBO. The document aims to prove that BBO is the best algorithm for resolving the mixed pixel problem by comparing it to other evolutionary algorithms. It also includes figures illustrating concepts like the species model and habitat in BBO.
This document discusses principal component analysis (PCA) for face recognition. It begins with an introduction to face recognition and PCA. PCA works by calculating eigenvectors from a set of face images, which represent the principal components that account for the most variance in the image data. These eigenvectors are called "eigenfaces" and can be used to reconstruct the face images. The document then discusses how the system is implemented, including preparing a face database, normalizing the training images, calculating the eigenfaces/principal components, projecting the face images into this reduced space, and recognizing faces by calculating distances between projected test images and training images.
This document summarizes research on using wireless sensor networks to detect mobile targets. It discusses two optimization problems: 1) maximizing the exposure of the least exposed path within a sensor budget, and 2) minimizing sensor installation costs while ensuring all paths have exposure above a threshold. It proposes using tabu search heuristics to provide near-optimal solutions. The research also addresses extending the models to consider wireless connectivity, heterogeneous sensors, and intrusion detection using a game theory approach. Experimental results show the proposed mobile replica detection scheme can rapidly detect replicas with no false positives or negatives.
