ABSTRACT


Integral attack is a powerful method to recover the secret key of block cipher by exploiting a characteristic that a set of outputs after several rounds encryption has ( integral distinguisher). Recently, Todo proposed a new algorithm to construct integral distinguisher with division property. However, the existence of integral distinguisher which holds in additional rounds can not be denied by the algorithm. On the contrary, we take an approach to obtain the number of rounds which integral distinguisher does not hold ( upper-bound integral distinguisher). The approach is based on algebraic degree estimation. We execute a random search for a term which has a degree equals the number of all inputted variables. We propose an algorithm and apply it to PRESENT and RECTANGLE. Then, we confirm that there exists no 8-round integral distinguisher in PRESENT and no 9-round integral distinguisher in RECTANGLE. From the facts, integral attack for more than 11-round and 13-round of PRESENT and RECTANGLE is infeasible, respectively.

Volume, Issue, Month, Year : Vol. 6, No. 3/4, December 2016


ABSTRACT


is paper evaluates the security of wireless communication network based on the fuzzy logic in Mat lab. A new algorithm is proposed and evaluated which is the hybrid algorithm. We highlight the valuable assets in designing of wireless network communication system based on network simulator (NS2), which is crucial to protect security of the systems. Block cipher algorithms are evaluated by using fuzzy logics and a hybrid algorithm is proposed. Both algorithms are evaluated in term of the security level. Logic (AND) is used in the rules of modelling and Mamdani Style is used for the evaluations

ABSTRACT


Cloud Computing (CC) is a model for enabling on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Testing and evaluating the performance of the cloud environment for allocating, provisioning, scheduling, and data allocation policy have great attention to be achieved. Therefore, using cloud simulator would save time and money, and provide a flexible environment to evaluate new research work. Unfortunately, the current simulators (e.g., CloudSim, NetworkCloudSim, GreenCloud, etc..) deal with the data as for size only without any consideration about the data allocation policy and locality. On the other hand, the NetworkCloudSim simulator is considered one of the most common used simulators because it includes different modules which support needed functions to a simulated cloud environment, and it could be extended to include new extra modules. According to work in this paper, the NetworkCloudSim simulator has been extended and modified to support data locality. The modified simulator is called LocalitySim. The accuracy of the proposed LocalitySim simulator has been proved by building a mathematical model. Also, the proposed simulator has been used to test the performance of the three-tire data center as a case study with considering the data locality feature.

ABSTRACT


The loss of business and downturn of economics almost occur every day. Thus technology is needed in every organization. Cloud computing has played a major role in solving the inefficiencies problem in organizations and increase the growth of business thus help the organizations to stay competitive. It is required to improve and automate the traditional ways of doing business. Cloud computing has been considered as an innovative way to improve business. Overall, cloud computing enables the organizations to manage their business efficiently. Unnecessary procedural, administrative, hardware and software costs in organizations expenses are avoided using cloud computing. Although cloud computing can provide advantages but it does not mean that there are no drawbacks. Security has become the major concern in cloud and cloud attacks too. Business organizations need to be alert against the attacks to their cloud storage. Benefits and drawbacks of cloud computing in business will be explored in this paper. Some solutions also provided in this paper to overcome the drawbacks. The method has been used is secondary research, that is collecting data from published journal papers and conference papers.



EFFECT OF POSTURAL CONTROL BIOMECHANICAL GAIN ON PSYCHOPHYSICAL DETECTION THRESHOLDS IN ANTERIOR HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION OF STANDING BLINDFOLDED SUBJECTS

Author :  Shahrokh N Sani 1 and Charles J Robinson 2

Volume, Issue, Month, Year : Vol.6, No.3/4, December 2016


ABSTRACT


A Sliding Linear Investigative Platform for Assessing Lower Limb Stability (SLIP-FALLS) was employed to study postural control biomechanical reaction to external perturbations in a short ≤16mm postural perturbation. Head acceleration were evaluated while blindfolded subjects stood on a platform that was given a short anterior perturbation presented in one of 2 sequential 4s intervals (2-Alternative-ForcedChoice) for a set of 30 trials. Anterior-Posterior head acceleration (Head Accl AP) were investigated among the movement and non-movement intervals for the healthy adults. A strong ringing signal was observed in Head Accl AP movement interval that was absent in non-movement interval. A positive power law trading relationship was found between Head Accl AP gain and move length standing blindfolded subjects. This could explain the observed negative power law relationship between translation length and peak acceleration threshold in previous psychophysical detection threshold studies.
