DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MOBILE GEAR FOR SKIER TRAINING SYSTEM

Author : Ayman M. Abdalla, Mohammad M. Abdallah and Mosa I. Salah
  

Volume, Issue, Month, Year :
  Vol 8, No 1, January, 2017

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to develop a Skier Training System for monitoring skiing courses and analyzing skier posture using smartphones. The system is composed of three elements: first, operating servers that receive information on the skier’s exercise; second, Skier Training Apps developed using Java and C based on Android SDK 4.2 or above; and third, Data Gathering Gear embedded with gyroscope sensors and GPS for measuring skier stance. When a skier wearing our Data Gathering Gear runs down a slope, his or her stance is uploaded to the operating servers. Then the servers calculate the recorded data, such as velocity and turn trajectory, in order to suggest body angles that are optimized for the skier; subsequently, the skier can improve his or her skills by checking his or her records, and then attempt to correct his or stances based on the suggestions offered by the Skier Training Apps.


A BRIEF PROGRAM ROBUSTNESS SURVEY

Volume, Issue, Month, Year :
  Vol 8, No 1, January, 2017

ABSTRACT

Program Robustness is now more important than before, because of the role software programs play in our life. Many papers defined it, measured it, and put it into context. In this paper, we explore the different definitions of program robustness and different types of techniques used to achieve or measure it. There are many papers about robustness. We chose the papers that clearly discuss program or software robustness. These papers stated that program (or software) robustness indicates the absence of ungraceful failures. There are different types of techniques used to create or measure a robust program. However, there is still a wide space for research in this area.

MULTIMODAL BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION: SECURED ENCRYPTION OF IRIS USING FINGERPRINT ID

Author :  Sheena S1 and Sheena Mathew2

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

ABSTRACT


Securing data storage using biometrics is the current trend. Different physiological as well as behavioral biometrics like face, fingerprint, iris, Gait, voice etc.. is used in providing security to the data. The proposed work explains about the biometric encryption technology which will securely generate a digital key using two biometric modalities. Iris is encrypted using Fingerprint ID of 32-bit as the key in this work. For encryption Blowfish algorithm is used and the encrypted template is stored in the database and one is given to the user. During the authentication time user input the template and the fingerprint. This template is then decrypted and verified with the original template taken from the database to check whether the user is genuine or an imposter. Hamming distance is used to measure the matching of the templates. CASIA Iris database is used for experimentation and fingerprint images read through the R303 - fingerprint reader.



A NEW ERA OF CRYPTOGRAPHY: QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY

Author :  Sandeepak Bhandari

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

ABSTRACT


Security is the first priority in today digital world for secure communication between sender and receiver. Various Cryptography techniques are developed time to time for secure communication. Quantum Cryptography is one of the latest and advanced cryptography technique, it is different from all other cryptography technique and more secure. It based on the Quantum of physics since its name which make it more secure from all other cryptography and UN breakable. In this paper about quantum cryptography i.e working, limitation and advantages discussed.

ALGEBRAIC DEGREE ESTIMATION OF BLOCK CIPHERS USING RANDOMIZED ALGORITHM; UPPER-BOUND INTEGRAL DISTINGUISHER.

Author :  Haruhisa Kosuge and Hidema Tanaka

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


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.



NEW ALGORITHM FOR WIRELESS NETWORK COMMUNICATION SECURITY

Author :  Sirwan Ahmed1 and Majeed Nader2

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

A FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATING USABILITY PRACTICES INTO SMALL-SIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS

Author : Lulwa Alyahyan, Khalid Alnafjan, and Hamza Aldabbas
Volume, Issue, Month, Year : Vol.7, No.5, September, 2016


ABSTRACT

Usability now appears to be a highly important attribute for software quality; it is a critical factor that
needs to be considered by every software-development organization when developing software to improve customer satisfaction and increase competition in the market. There exists a lack of a reference model or framework for small-sized software-development organizations to indicate which usability practices should be implemented, and where in the system-development life cycle they need to be considered. We offer developers who have the objective of integrating usability practices into their development life cycle a framework that characterizes 10 selected user-centered design (UCD) methods in relation to five relevant criteria based on some ISO factors that have an effect on the selection of methods (ISO/TR16982). The selection of the methods for inclusion in the framework responds to these organizations’ needs; and we selected basic methods that are recommended, cost-effective, simple to plan and apply, and easy to learn by developers; and which can be applied when time, resources, skills, and expertise are limited. We favor methods that are generally applicable across a wide range of development environments. The selected methods are organized in the framework according to the stages in the development process where they might be applied. The only requirement for the existing development life cycle is that it to be based on an iterative approach.
