Detection and Minimization of Malware by Implementing AI in SMEs

The malware can threaten personal privacy by opening backdoors for attackers to access user passwords, IP addresses, banking information, and other personal data, whilst some malware extracts personal data and sends them to people unknown to the users. In this chapter, the authors will present recent case studies and discuss the privacy and security threats associated with different types of malwares. The small medium enterprises (SMEs) have a unique working model forming the backbone of the UK economy and malware affects SMEs’ organizations. Also, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as both an offense and defense mechanism, for the hacker, and the end user will be investigated further. In conclusion, finding a balance between IT expertise and the costs of products that are able to help SMEs protect and secure their data will benefit the SMEs by using a more intelligent controlled environment with applied machine learning techniques and not compromising on costs will be discussed

An ad hoc wireless mobile communications model for Special Operations Forces

The digitization of the battlefield enables special operators to use improved communications supported by computer networks across a range of missions. The communications paradigm is evolving toward mobile wireless ad hoc networks. This development enables an autonomous system of mobile nodes supporting peer-to-peer communications in forward-deployed military networks. Ad hoc networks have to establish a reliable, secure, instant, and usually temporary, communication infrastructure and to be able to access in a global communications infrastructure. Our model describes a global communication network supporting the special operator in mobile wireless communications. The main purpose is to provide a handheld wireless communications node which is capable of transferring voice, data, and imagery to and from parallel and vertical command structures within an environment replete with electronic countermeasures. The model will support the representation of requirements such as throughput, quality of service with low power consumption, and low probability of detection/interception. Special Forces are moving toward using commercial-off-the- shelf products and services based on availability and cost effectiveness. Using GloMoSim tool, we run simulations for a direct action scenario and compared the efficiency of on-demand and table-driven routing protocols under different bandwidths and communications loadshttp://www.archive.org/details/adhocwirelessmob00ogutFirst Lieutenant, Turkish ArmyApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited

Design of a wireless platform for wearable and home automation applications

Title from PDF of title page, viewed on October 2, 2012Thesis advisor: Walter D. León-SalasVitaIncludes bibliographic references (p. 147-[151])Thesis (M.S.)--School of Computing and Engineering. University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012In the recent past, a great deal of attention has been given to wireless sensors. Wireless sensors enable a multitude of applications such as environmental monitoring, medical care, disaster response, home automation, urban scale monitoring, gaming etc. These small, low-power, multifunctional sensors includes sensing, data processing and communication components representing a significant improvement over the traditional sensors. The two attractive wireless sensor applications investigated in this thesis are wearable sensors for bio-medical applications and a ZigBee wireless network for home automation applications. The targeted bio-medical application is bone strain monitoring. The current setup to collect strain data is composed of a data acquisition unit connected to a bench top load instrument. For accurate measurements the lab animals have to be sedated and immobilized in the current setup which is also bulky. A telemetry unit equipped with strain gages designed for implantable measurement of bone strain was designed to address this problem. The measurements collected by an implantable telemetry unit are of high interest to orthopedic researchers who wish to know the load acting on an orthopedic implant and hence to help guide the rehabilitation outcomes in a patient. This thesis describes two small telemetry units with multiple configurable sensor channels which can be used to sense resistance and voltage. Thus, the designed units can be used in home energy monitoring applications as well. The units have low power consumption and were designed using off-the-shelf components. Their dimensions are 24 mm x 13 mm and 10 mm x 10 mm. The sensor signals are multiplexed, modulated and transmitted to a remote computer by means of a radio transceiver. Besides measuring strain integrated levels the telemetry units can also measure acceleration in 3 axes. Wireless battery charging is another feature that was included in our design which is a key feature for surgically implanted devices. To show that our telemetry units has comparable accuracy and compactness to the current setup, we present the readings from both setups. A ZigBee wireless sensor network to monitor and control home appliances was designed and successfully tested. A central control unit is the coordinator which sets up the network and configures the ZigBee network parameters. The battery powered sensors are configured as end-devices which periodically report sensor data such as light, temperature, accelerometer and energy consumption values to the coordinator. Any home appliance limited to less than 10 Amps in the ZigBee network can be turned on or off from the central control unit. With bidirectional communication achieved between the central control unit and the end-device, we were able to achieve a home automation system.Introduction -- Background -- Telemetry unit architecture -- Data collection and results -- Conclusion and future work -- Appendix A.1.

Over the years, consumer requirements for Quality of Service (QoS) has been growing exponentially. Recently, the ratification process of newly IEEE 802.11ad amendment to IEEE 802.11 was finished. The IEEE 802.11ad is the newly con-sumer wireless communication approach, which will gain high spot on the 5G evolution. Major players in wireless market, such as Qualcomm already are inte-grating solutions from unlicensed band, like IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ad into their architecture of LTE PRO (the next evolutionary step for 5G networking) (Qualcomm 2013; Parker et al. 2015). As the demand is growing both in enter-prise wireless networking and home consumer markets. Consumers started to no-tice the performance degradation due to overcrowded unlicensed bands. The un-licensed bands such as 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz are widely used for up-to-date IEEE 802.11n/ac technologies with upcoming IEEE 802.11ax. However, overusage of the available frequency leads to severe interference issue and consequences in to-tal system performance degradation, currently existing wireless medium access method can not sustain the increasing intereference and thus wireless needs a new methods of wireless medium access. The main focal point of this dissertation is to improve wireless performance in dense wireless networks. In dissertation both the conceptual and multi-band wireless medium access methods are considered both from theoretical point of view and experimental usage. The introduction chapter presents the investigated problem and it’s objects of research as well as importance of dissertation and it’s scientific novelty in the unlicensed wireless field. Chapter 1 revises used literature. Existing and up-to-date state-of-the-art so-lution are reviewed, evaluated and key point advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Conclusions are drawn at the end of the chapter. Chapter 2 describes theoretical analysis of wireless medium access protocols and the new wireless medium access method. During analysis theoretical simula-tions are performed. Conclusions are drawn at the end of the chapter. Chapter 3 is focused on the experimental components evaluation for multi-band system, which would be in line with theoretical concept investigations. The experimental results, showed that components of multi-band system can gain sig-nificant performance increase when compared to the existing IEEE 802.11n/ac wireless systems. General conclusions are drawn after analysis of measurement results
