Novel Framework for Hidden Data in the Image Page within Executable File Using Computation between Advanced Encryption Standard and Distortion Techniques
The hurried development of multimedia and internet allows for wide
distribution of digital media data. It becomes much easier to edit, modify and
duplicate digital information. In additional, digital document is also easy to
copy and distribute, therefore it may face many threats. It became necessary to
find an appropriate protection due to the significance, accuracy and
sensitivity of the information. Furthermore, there is no formal method to be
followed to discover a hidden data. In this paper, a new information hiding
framework is presented.The proposed framework aim is implementation of
framework computation between advance encryption standard (AES) and distortion
technique (DT) which embeds information in image page within executable file
(EXE file) to find a secure solution to cover file without change the size of
cover file. The framework includes two main functions; first is the hiding of
the information in the image page of EXE file, through the execution of four
process (specify the cover file, specify the information file, encryption of
the information, and hiding the information) and the second function is the
extraction of the hiding information through three process (specify the stego
file, extract the information, and decryption of the information).Comment: 6 Pages IEEE Format, International Journal of Computer Science and

Tree Parity Machine Rekeying Architectures
The necessity to secure the communication between hardware components in
embedded systems becomes increasingly important with regard to the secrecy of
data and particularly its commercial use. We suggest a low-cost (i.e. small
logic-area) solution for flexible security levels and short key lifetimes. The
basis is an approach for symmetric key exchange using the synchronisation of
Tree Parity Machines. Fast successive key generation enables a key exchange
within a few milliseconds, given realistic communication channels with a
limited bandwidth. For demonstration we evaluate characteristics of a
standard-cell ASIC design realisation as IP-core in 0.18-micrometer

LEE: Light‐Weight Energy‐Efficient encryption algorithm for sensor networks
Data confidentiality in wireless sensor networks is mainly achieved by RC5 and Skipjack encryption algorithms. However, both algorithms have their weaknesses, for example RC5 supports variable-bit rotations, which are computationally expensive operations and Skipjack uses a key length of 80-bits, which is subject to brute force attack. In this paper we introduce a light-weight energy- fficient encryption-algorithm (LEE) for tiny embedded devices, such as sensor network nodes. We present experimental results of LEE under real sensor nodes operating in TinyOS. We also discuss the secrecy of our algorithm by presenting a security analysis of various tests and cryptanalytic attacks
Pendekatan konstruktif dalam inovasi pengajaran dan pembelajaran Bahasa Melayu di Kolej Vokasional
Pendekatan konstruktif adalah pendekatan pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang
berpusatkan pelajar manakala inovasi pengajaran pula dikaitkan dengan kaedah
pengajaran yang terbaru demi mengukuhkan pemahaman pelajar. Pembelajaran
berasaskan pendekatan konstruktif merupakan elemen yang penting dan perlu
difahami oleh guru-guru bagi memantapkan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran
sesuai dengan peredaran masa dan menjayakan proses tranformasi pendidikan
negara. Objektif kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti pemahaman guru-guru
bahasa Melayu berkaitan inovasi, mengenal pasti perbezaan yang wujud antara guru
lelaki dan guru perempuan dalam mengamalkan inovasi, pengkaji juga melihat
adakah wujud perbezaan antara guru baru dan guru yang sudah berpengalaman
dalam aspek mengaplikasikan inovasi serta mengenal pasti kekangan-kekangan yang
dialami oleh para guru untuk mengaplikasikan inovasi di sekolah. Seramai 63 orang
guru bahasa Melayu dari lapan buah kolej vokasional telah dipilih sebagai responden
dalam kajian ini. Data dianalisis menggunakan perisian Winsteps 3.69.1.11 dengan
pendekatan Model Pengukuran Rasch. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahawa guru�guru bahasa Melayu memahami kepentingan inovasi dalam pengajaran dan
pembelajaran. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan guru-guru perempuan lebih banyak
menerapkan unsur inovasi dalam pengajaran berbanding guru lelaki. Walaupun
begitu, aspek pengalaman tidak menunjukkan perbezaan dari segi pengamalan
inovasi sama ada guru baru ataupun guru yang sudah berpengalaman. Pengkaji juga
mengenal pasti beberapa kekangan yang dialami oleh guru-guru untuk mengamalkan
inovasi ini. Sebagai langkah untuk menangani masalah berkenaan, beberapa
cadangan telah dikemukakan oleh pengkaji bagi memastikan guru-guru dapat
merealisasikan proses pengajaran berkesan dengan penerapan inovasi mengikut
model pendekatan konstruktif. Pengkaji berharap, kajian ini dapat dijadikan sebagai
satu panduan kepada pelaksana kurikulum bagi memastikan budaya inovasi sentiasa
menjadi amalan dalam kalangan guru demi mengangkat profesionalisme guru di

FPGA based remote code integrity verification of programs in distributed embedded systems
The explosive growth of networked embedded systems has made ubiquitous and pervasive computing a reality. However, there are still a number of new challenges to its widespread adoption that include scalability, availability, and, especially, security of software. Among the different challenges in software security, the problem of remote-code integrity verification is still waiting for efficient solutions. This paper proposes the use of reconfigurable computing to build a consistent architecture for generation of attestations (proofs) of code integrity for an executing program as well as to deliver them to the designated verification entity. Remote dynamic update of reconfigurable devices is also exploited to increase the complexity of mounting attacks in a real-word environment. The proposed solution perfectly fits embedded devices that are nowadays commonly equipped with reconfigurable hardware components that are exploited to solve different computational problems
FRIENDS - A flexible architecture for implementing fault tolerant and secure distributed applications
FRIENDS is a software-based architecture for implementing fault-tolerant and, to some extent, secure applications. This architecture is composed of sub-systems and libraries of metaobjects. Transparency and separation of concerns is provided not only to the application programmer but also to the programmers implementing metaobjects for fault tolerance, secure communication and distribution. Common services required for implementing metaobjects are provided by the sub-systems. Metaobjects are implemented using object-oriented techniques and can be reused and customised according to the application needs, the operational environment and its related fault assumptions. Flexibility is increased by a recursive use of metaobjects. Examples and experiments are also described
