The notion of this project was derived from our practical use of user authentication system namely Shibboleth at the University of Bedfordshire. It has been found that the University of Bedfordshire controls it various services including, student portal Breo, Learning Resources and Student Email access and others through the Shibboleth. Like the University of Bedfordshire the other Universities in the UK also implementing the Shibboleth system in their access management control. Therefore, the researcher of this project found it a paramount important to evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness of Shibboleth from different perspectives. Throughout this investigation the authors applied a triangulation to find out user and service provider viewpoint about Shibboleth. To figure out different problems and efficiency and effectiveness the author also implemented the Shibboleth system successfully in the end although there were some problems persisted. The author provided recommendations and conclusion at the end of this project Read More Read Less

Abstract Digital video watermarking is a technique developed to help in copyright protection of video files. Digital video files can be easily copied and shared among many people on the Internet. So, it’s extremely necessary to protect the copyright and ownership right of the video files with the help of digital watermarking.

Digital video files can be easily copied and shared among many people on the Internet. So, it’s extremely necessary to protect the copyright and ownership right of the video files with the help of digital watermarking. In this paper, we are presenting the comparative study of different video watermarking techniques by analyzing their performances, time Read More Read Less

Abstract An ad hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Several routing protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks and prominent among them are Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). Effort has been made to merge software Quality... An ad hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Several routing protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks and prominent among them are Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). Effort has been made to merge software Quality assurance parameters to adhoc networks to achieve desired results. This paper analyses the performance of AODV and DSR routing protocols for the quality assurance metrics. The performance differentials of AODV and DSR protocols are analyzed using NS-2 simulator and compared in terms of quality assurance metrics applied. Read More Read Less
