A Review on Biometric Encryption System in Cloud Computing

This Review paper is about the security of bio metric templates in cloud databases. Biometrics is proved to be the best authentication method. However, the main concern is the security of the biometric template, the process to extract and stored in the database within the same database along with many other. Many techniques and methods have already been proposed to secure templates, but everything comes with its pros and cons, this paper provides a critical overview of these issues and solutions

Construction of Communication Protocol Using Ring-LWE-Based Homomorphic Encryption in Iot-Cloud Environment

The rapid development of wireless communication and sensor networks is the basis for forming an Internet of things(IoT) infrastructure. In IoT-based applications, the cryptographic encryption and access control at cloud must be robust to withstand current attacks. The majority of security protocols are based on integer factorization and discrete logarithm problems, which are proved vulnerable to quantum attacks. In this paper, we proposed a scheme for the security and privacy of the user data in a cloud environment. Various types of homomorphic encryption schemes are studied for data privacy in the cloud. The Ring-LWE-based encryption scheme is presented for privacy protection in the cloud which meets the homomorphic properties. The scheme is analysed for security, privacy, reduced messaging overhead and computation overhead. The objective of this paper is to Design and Construct a Ring-LWE-based homomorphic encryption(HE) communication protocol for authenticated user message encryption in a IoT cloud computing environment. The evaluation function in holomorphic encryption defined based on Ring-LWE encryption for a practical sharing-enabled cloud storage. Then, formally proving the security of the proposed protocol for classical and quantum attacks in cloud environment like Manin-the-middle (MITM) attack, Denial of Service (DoS) and Replay Attack

Exploratory study to explore the role of ICT in the process of knowledge management in an Indian business environment

In the 21st century and the emergence of a digital economy, knowledge and the knowledge base economy are rapidly growing. To effectively be able to understand the processes involved in the creating, managing and sharing of knowledge management in the business environment is critical to the success of an organization. This study builds on the previous research of the authors on the enablers of knowledge management by identifying the relationship between the enablers of knowledge management and the role played by information communication technologies (ICT) and ICT infrastructure in a business setting. This paper provides the findings of a survey collected from the four major Indian cities (Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Villupuram) regarding their views and opinions about the enablers of knowledge management in business setting. A total of 80 organizations participated in the study with 100 participants in each city. The results show that ICT and ICT infrastructure can play a critical role in the creating, managing and sharing of knowledge in an Indian business environment

Cloud Computing in the Quantum Era

Cloud computing has become the prominent technology of this era. Its elasticity, dynamicity, availability, heterogeneity, and pay as you go pricing model has attracted several companies to migrate their businesses' services into the cloud. This gives them more time to focus solely on their businesses and reduces the management and backup overhead leveraging the flexibility of cloud computing. On the other hand, quantum technology is developing very rapidly. Experts are expecting to get an efficient quantum computer within the next decade. This has a significant impact on several sciences including cryptography, medical research, and other fields. This paper analyses the reciprocal impact of quantum technology on cloud computing and vice versa

Blockchain Securities Issues: Decentralized Identity System With Key Management Perspective

Blockchain was created many years ago to solve the problems of data transfer Integrity, several years later the issues persist. Blockchain securities are one of the most important considerations to be investigated, and data integrity is about ensuring the accuracy and validity of messages such that when they are read, they are the same as when they were first written. It is of the opinion that passing information across from one person to another cannot be the same as it was first said at the onset. Our work investigated Blockchain security issues, studying Integrity emanating from transactions across the blocks and how to deal with the securities issues. It also investigated decentralization and issues in blockchain to investigate how to mitigate the security issues associated with blockchain. It further discusses the use of key management in solving security issues in blockchain, viewing different key management systems of private and public keys, and solutions in addressing the blockchain problems. Lastly, we contributed the use of Decentralized Identity systems (DIDs) into the blockchain where we use a unique identifier, “ID.me” to verifier the individual credentials before any transaction, this was done by sending a digital ID through the issuer to the verifier to authenticate the integrity and identity of the holder and this proof worthy of protecting the information and maintaining the privacy of the user of the blockchain technology

Improved Framework for Blockchain Application Using Lattice Based Key Agreement Protocol

One of the most recent challenges in communicationsystem and network system is the privacy and security ofinformation and communication session. Blockchain is one oftechnologies that use in sensing application in different importantenvironments such as healthcare. In healthcare the patient privacyshould be protected use high security system. Key agreementprotocol based on lattice ensure the authentication and highprotection against different types of attack especiallyimpersonation and man in the middle attack where the latticebased protocol is quantum-withstand protocol. Proposed improvedframework using lattice based key agreement protocol forapplication of block chain, with security analysis of manyliteratures that proposed different protocols has been presentedwith comparative study. The resultant new framework based onlattice overcome the latency limitation of block chain in the oldframework and lowered the computation cost that depend onElliptic curve Diffie-Hellman. Also, it ensures high privacy andprotection of patient’s informatio
