A threshold authenticated encryption scheme using hybrid problems
Full text linkIn this paper, we propose a threshold authenticated encryption scheme using both factoring and discrete logarithm problems.We apply the concept of threshold
cryptography in the verification and message recovery phase, where t out of n recipients are required to verify and recover the message. Security analysis shows that our scheme will remain secure even if one of these problems can be solved
Rivisit grid computing security
Full text linkRecent studies have shown that Grid Computing provide computational power, data storage and network bandwidth of under utilized resources at a minimal cost to the end user. It integrates geographically distributed resources and perform collaborative task. Since the goal of grid is resource sharing, computer resource will be accessed by a lot of users from different virtual organizations (YO). The security requirement becomes more vital to the Grids. Securities playa major role in providing the confidentiality of the communication, the integrity of data and the privacy of the user information. This paper focuses on to define current grid security issues and address grid security problem and challenges
Smart Clinic: Health Smart Card System
Full text linkThe project focuses on creatinga new smart environment as an alternative to the
current conventional health care system sign in and data access. The learning of
currenttechnology which is the smart card architecture is determined feasible to react
with the difficulty stated as an answer. The current health care systemis considered as
inefficient as it consumes time and create annoying atmosphere especially in crowded
health center. This could produce danger if there is an unexpected emergency case
which requires immediate actions by both the patient and the doctors. The
conventional health system requires the patientto fill in forms to be admittedin order
to receive treatment and consulted by a doctor. The objective ofthis project is to
conducta studyand find a solutionto overcome this problem. Furthermore, the ease of
usage for both the patientsand the health systempersonnel must also be met. So, a
smart card system implementation is proposedin order to overcome the problem
stated and furthermore improve the situationin the currenthealth care system. The
project developed can reduce the admission time to a health care center, provide a
better patient's information storingand data management coordination embedded with
security features ensuringdata safetyand maintains its integrity. In order to develop
the solutions proposed, a system engineering process is applied to get determined
results. The Incremental Development model is chosen as its compatibility to the vital
system discussed and strict processes that ensure the outcome produced is satisfying.
Many attempts have been made to computerize the management of patient records
usingadvancedcomputing and networking facilities across hospitals, clinics,and
other health care center. Therefore, the author hopes that the system is a move towards
realizing the smart environment health care system
A change impact analysis tool for software development phase
No full textAccepting too many software change requests could contribute to expense and delay in project delivery. On the other hand rejecting the changes may increase customer dissatisfaction. Software project management might use a reliable estimation on potential impacted artifacts to decide whether to accept or reject the changes. In software development phase, an assumption that all classes in the class artifact are completely developed is impractical compared to software maintenance phase. This is due to some classes in the class artifact are still under development or partially developed. This paper extends our previous works on developing an impact analysis approach for the software development phase in automating the approach which we call it CIAT (Change Impact Analysis Tool). The significant achievements of the tool are demonstrated through an extensive experimental validation using several case studies. The experimental analysis shows improvement in the accuracy over current impact analysis results
An insight into internship program for undergraduate Arabic language learners in Malaysia
Full text linkThis study attempts to investigate the outcome of the internship
training program in the Department of Arabic Language and
Literature, at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).
Methodologically, this study was conducted to gather the
opinions and experience on the internship program among Arabic
language and literature students. The participants were
purposively selected from 57 out of 66 students who have
completed their three months internship program either in the
public or private sector from July to September 2015 by using an
online survey and open-ended questionnaire. General findings
from this study show that internship training has essentially
improved their soft skills and increased their workplace literacy
and well-being. Despite the poor perception of Arabic language in
the mutual graduate employability as well as its practicality
aspects and job market by the industry, Arabic language and
literature students are well accepted in both private and public
sectors to undertake their internship training as reported in this
article. In conclusion, internship training is crucial, particularly
among Arabic language and literature students as it enriches their
experiences, knowledge and skills in both their personal and
social life. It also increased their level of confidence to explore
their future opportunity in the Malaysian job market including
setting up their own businesses through entrepreneurship
