Newly released researches disclose the need of canceling the incorrect opinion; security by Password (PW) is dead and proves that these believe has been actually hurtful. And recommended a campaign prioritize strategies of building PW. Considering the PW features such as costless, maturity and vast experiences, and usability PW continues to be the most used options in information security (IS), it is furthermore, consider most challengers to researchers and really needs further boosting. Actually, IS security of authentication is controlled by PWs, requiring that individuals choose strong PW. The best advice to protect from hackers is generate unique PW randomly for every site and service, to apply this advice we need more techniques of easy to remember and hard to guess. In this study, I proposed a bunch of easy to remember techniques for building a strong PW. Also, I exhibited the importance of similar trategy despite existing of many helpful PW managers. On the other hand, I compiled and analyzed today’s data regarding authenticating secure systems via PW. Analyzed data has shown some of common weakness in PW selection. Moreover, gathered information and evaluated data indicated the need of boosting PW. Proposed techniques and solutions enable individuals to select appropriate PW easily. Read More Read Less

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) was developed based on Bodynet which enables sensor nodes that is utilized to monitor any bodily part and body motion through wireless network. The idea is to extend wired sensor node connectivity to wireless, to provide the ability for healthcare professionals to monitor patients remotely. To date, since WBAN requires it to be a low powered sensor node, it will be extremely difficult to put through any advanced security mechanism due to the restriction of power use in WBAN devices. Therefore, this research proposed a different approach in securing WBAN. This research will adopt a Practical Impact Assessment (PIA) to developed Preventive and Detective Mechanism for the Forensic Readiness Secure Network Architecture. Read More Read Less

Abstract On the global Internet, the main function of TCP is to provide a reliable byte stream process to process communication. Today, TCP is the most widespread protocol used for exchanging data in the Internet and almost responsible for more than 90 percent of the world’s total data traffic on the Internet. Despite its widespread usage, many of the TCP protocols... On the global Internet, the main function of TCP is to provide a reliable byte stream process to process communication. Today, TCP is the most widespread protocol used for exchanging data in the Internet and almost responsible for more than 90 percent of the world’s total data traffic on the Internet. Despite its widespread usage, many of the TCP protocols were designed with little consideration given to the security implications. For example, the TCP protocol stack could be vulnerable to a variety of attacks ranging from IP spoofing to denial of service. This paper classifies a range of known TCP attack methods focusing in particular on password sniffing, SYN flooding, IP spoofing, TCP sequence number attack, TCP session hijacking, RST/FIN attacks and the low rate TCP targeted denial of service attack.The paper will also examine the vulnerability points of these TCP protocols in attempting to provide solutions to such attacks. Finally, a real time network simulation infrastructure will be provided along with detail experiments analysis to validate the efficiency of our security approaches. Read More Read Less

Abstract In academic environments where students are partly evaluated on the assignments, it is necessary to discourage the practice of copying assignments of other students. The detection of plagiarism in code from large source code repositories, manual detection is fairly complex, if not impossible. Therefore, for fair evaluation there must be a fast, efficient and automated/ semi-automated way to detect the assignments... In academic environments where students are partly evaluated on the assignments, it is necessary to discourage the practice of copying assignments of other students. The detection of plagiarism in code from large source code repositories, manual detection is fairly complex, if not impossible. Therefore, for fair evaluation there must be a fast, efficient and automated/ semi-automated way to detect the assignments copied. Source Code metrics can be used to detect the source code plagiarism in programming assignments submitted by university students. In this paper we have developed a source code plagiarism detection system and tried to improve the existing techniques by separating the suspected files and the non-plagiarized files, thus reducing the dataset for further comparison. A number of source code metrics have been calculated, combined using similarity detection formula to give an aggregate view of the source code metrics. After that the suspected files are separated and then performed string-matching to detect the level of similarity. Read More Read Less
