Implementation of ECC and ECDSA for Image Security
the use of digital data has been increase over the past decade which has led to the evolution of digital world. With this evolution the use of data such as text, images and other multimedia for communication purpose over network needs to be secured during transmission. Images been the most extensively used digital data throughout the world, there is a need for the security of images, so that the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data is maintained. There is various cryptography techniques used for image security of which the asymmetric cryptography is most extensively used for securing data transmission. This paper discusses about Elliptic Curve Cryptography an asymmetric public key cryptography method for image transmission. With security it is also crucial to address the computational aspects of the cryptography methods used for securing images. The paper proposes an Image encryption and decryption method using ECC. Integrity of image transmission is achieved by using Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and also considering computational aspects at each stage
Integrating identity-based cryptography in IMS service authentication
Nowadays, the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a promising research field.
Many ongoing works related to the security and the performances of its
employment are presented to the research community. Although, the security and
data privacy aspects are very important in the IMS global objectives, they
observe little attention so far. Secure access to multimedia services is based
on SIP and HTTP digest on top of IMS architecture. The standard deploys AKA-MD5
for the terminal authentication. The third Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP) provided Generic Bootstrapping Architecture (GBA) to authenticate the
subscriber before accessing multimedia services over HTTP. In this paper, we
propose a new IMS Service Authentication scheme using Identity Based
cryptography (IBC). This new scheme will lead to better performances when there
are simultaneous authentication requests using Identity-based Batch
Verification. We analyzed the security of our new protocol and we presented a
performance evaluation of its cryptographic operationsComment: 13Page
Risks and remedies in e-learning system
One of the most effective applications of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) is the emergence of E-Learning. Considering the importance and
need of E-Learning, recent years have seen a drastic change of learning
methodologies in Higher Education. Undoubtedly, the three main entities of
E-Learning system can be considered as Student, Teacher & Controlling Authority
and there will be different level, but a good E-Learning system needs total
integrity among all entities in every level. Apart from integrity enforcement,
security enforcement in the whole system is the other crucial way to organize
the it. As internet is the backbone of the entire system which is inherently
insecure, during transaction of message in E-Learning system, hackers attack by
utilising different loopholes of technology. So different security measures are
required to be imposed on the system. In this paper, emphasis is given on
different risks called e-risks and their remedies called e-remedies to build
trust in the minds of all participants of E-Learning system
An Outline of Security in Wireless Sensor Networks: Threats, Countermeasures and Implementations
With the expansion of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the need for securing
the data flow through these networks is increasing. These sensor networks allow
for easy-to-apply and flexible installations which have enabled them to be used
for numerous applications. Due to these properties, they face distinct
information security threats. Security of the data flowing through across
networks provides the researchers with an interesting and intriguing potential
for research. Design of these networks to ensure the protection of data faces
the constraints of limited power and processing resources. We provide the
basics of wireless sensor network security to help the researchers and
engineers in better understanding of this applications field. In this chapter,
we will provide the basics of information security with special emphasis on
WSNs. The chapter will also give an overview of the information security
requirements in these networks. Threats to the security of data in WSNs and
some of their counter measures are also presented
Modelling and simulation of a biometric identity-based cryptography
Government information is a vital asset that must be kept in a trusted environment and efficiently managed by authorised parties. Even though e-Government provides a number of advantages, it also introduces a range of new security risks. Sharing confidential and top-secret information in a secure manner among government sectors tend to be the main element that government agencies look for. Thus, developing an effective methodology is essential and it is a key factor for e-Government success. The proposed e-Government scheme in this paper is a combination of identity-based encryption and biometric technology. This new scheme can effectively improve the security in authentication systems, which provides a reliable identity with a high degree of assurance. In addition, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of using Finite-state machines as a formal method to analyse the proposed protocols
