University Management Information Systems: a Cross-cultural Study
Get PDFManagement Information System (MIS) is an important support for the planning and management of information resources in universities. In different cultural backgrounds, users’ understanding and application of MIS may vary due to the language and cultural symbols they use, which can affect the actual application of the system. In order to improve the quality of management information in universities and understand different user needs, this article conducted a cross-cultural study on the user acceptance and sustainable adoption of MIS in universities. It constructed a theoretical research model using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and then established system performance, management information quality, system interactivity, social impact, educational culture, usage habits, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, user acceptance, sustained use intention, and sustained use behavior as research variables. On this basis, a research hypothesis was constructed and finally validated through experimental analysis. The results show that system performance, management information quality, educational culture, and perceived usefulness had a significant positive impact on user acceptance, with path coefficients of 0,256, 0,752, 0,607, and 0,368, respectively. Social influence, usage habits, perceived usefulness, and user acceptance had a significant positive impact on user willingness to continue using, with path coefficients of 0,533, 0,532, 0,441, and 0,602, respectively. The conclusion indicates that cross-cultural research on user acceptance and sustainable adoption of MIS in universities can help understand user needs in different cultural backgrounds and provide objective guidance for improving the management level of universitie
Privacy-Preserving Image Storage on Cloud Using An Unified Cryptographic Authentication Scheme
Get PDFWith the proliferation of several cutting-edge technologies such as the Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), cloud technology is gaining colossal popularity in recent years. Despite the general publicity on the theme across the digital world, defending user data kept in the cloud database is the most decisive problem. Recent potential cyber attacks reveal that storing private images entails more unique care related to other types of information on the cloud. As the cloud customer who has kept their images has no control over their data the cloud service provider has to ensure better security against cyber threats. Cryptography algorithms are the best choice to secure pictorial data in the cloud. These techniques transform images into an inarticulate form to keep confidentiality over undependable and vulnerable social media .In this paper, we aim to propose an approach for improving image security on the cloud using cryptography algorithms. We developed a cohesive approach, called Unified Cryptographic Image Authentication (UCIA) to protect user images on a cloud platform. The proposed UCIA approach includes two phases: (i)UCIA engenders a cipher text through a Data Encryption Standard (DES) by providing a key and a message as input, and (ii)UCIA implements a Twofish algorithm to encipher the pictures by applying cipher text. The enciphered picture data is then stored in the cloud database and can be recovered when the customer requests it. The effectiveness of both enciphering and deciphering procedures are analyzed using the evaluation metrics including time for enciphering, deciphering, cloud storage, and enciphering throughput. Experimental results reveal the better performance and strength of the UCIA approac
