Comparison of file sanitization techniques in usb based on average file entropy valves

Nowadays, the technology has become so advanced that many electronic gadgets are in every household today. The fast growth of technology today gives the ability for digital devices like smartphones and laptops to have a huge size of storage which is letting people to keep many of their infonnation like contact lists, photos, videos and even personal infonnation. When these infonnation are not useful anymore, users will delete them. However, the growth of technology also letting people to recover back data that has been deleted. In this case, users do not realise that their deleted data can be recovered and then used by unauthorized user. The data deleted is invisible but not gone. This is where file sanitization plays it role. File sanitization is the process of deleting the memory of the content and over write it with a different characters. In this research, the methods chosen to sanitize file are Write Zero, Write Zero Randomly and Write Zero Alternately. All of the techniques will overwrite data with zero. The best technique is chosen based on the comparison of average entropy value of the files after they have been overwritten. Write Zero is the only technique that is provided by many software like WipeFile and BitKiller. There is no software that provide Write Zero Randomly technique except for sanitizing disk using dd. As for that, Write Zero Randomly and proposed technique, Write Zero Alternately are developed using C programming language in Dev-C++. In this research, sanitization with Write Zero has the lowest average entropy value for text document (TXT), Microsoft Word (DOCX) and image (JPG) with 100% of data in the files undergone this technique have been zero-filled compared to Write Zero Randomly and Write Zero Alternately. Next, Write Zero Alternately is more efficient in tenns of average entropy by 4.64 bpB to its closest competitor which is Write Zero Randomly with 5.02 bpB. This shows that Write Zero is the best sanitization method. These file sanitization techniques are important to keep the confidentiality against unauthorized user

Estimasi Regresi Non Parametrik Dengan Metode Wavelet Shrinkage Neural Network Pada Model Rancangan Tetap

If X is a predictor variable and Y is a response variable of following model Y = g(X) +e with function g is a regression which not yet been known and e is an independent random variable with mean 0 and variant . The function of g can be estimated by parametric and nonparametric approach. In this paper, g is estimated by nonparametric approach that is named wavelet shrinkage neural network method. At this method, the smoothly function estimation is depending on shrinkage parameter's that are threshold value and level of wavelet that be used. It also depending on the number of neuron in the hidden layer and the number of epoch that be used in feed forward neural network. Therefore, it is required to be select the optimal value of threshold, level of wavelet, the number of neuron and the number of epoch to determine optimal function estimation

A Wavelet neural network for detection of signals in communications

Our objective is the design and simulation of an efficient system for detection of signals in communications in terms of speed and computational complexity. The proposed scheme takes advantage of two powerful frameworks in signal processing: Wavelets and Neural Networks. The decision system will take a decision based on the computation of the a priori probabilities of the input signal. For the estimation of such probability density functions, a Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) has been chosen. The election has arosen under the following considerations: (a) neural networks have been established as a general approximation tool for fitting nonlinear models from input/output data and (b) the increasing popularity of the wavelet decomposition as a powerful tool for approximation. The integration of the above factors leads to the wavelet neural network concept. This network preserve the universal approximation property of wavelet series, with the advantage of the speed and efficient computation of a neural network architecture. The topology and learning algorithm of the network will provide an efficient approximation to the required probability density functions

A new class of wavelet networks for nonlinear system identification

A new class of wavelet networks (WNs) is proposed for nonlinear system identification. In the new networks, the model structure for a high-dimensional system is chosen to be a superimposition of a number of functions with fewer variables. By expanding each function using truncated wavelet decompositions, the multivariate nonlinear networks can be converted into linear-in-the-parameter regressions, which can be solved using least-squares type methods. An efficient model term selection approach based upon a forward orthogonal least squares (OLS) algorithm and the error reduction ratio (ERR) is applied to solve the linear-in-the-parameters problem in the present study. The main advantage of the new WN is that it exploits the attractive features of multiscale wavelet decompositions and the capability of traditional neural networks. By adopting the analysis of variance (ANOVA) expansion, WNs can now handle nonlinear identification problems in high dimensions

The wavelet-NARMAX representation : a hybrid model structure combining polynomial models with multiresolution wavelet decompositions

A new hybrid model structure combing polynomial models with multiresolution wavelet decompositions is introduced for nonlinear system identification. Polynomial models play an important role in approximation theory, and have been extensively used in linear and nonlinear system identification. Wavelet decompositions, in which the basis functions have the property of localization in both time and frequency, outperform many other approximation schemes and offer a flexible solution for approximating arbitrary functions. Although wavelet representations can approximate even severe nonlinearities in a given signal very well, the advantage of these representations can be lost when wavelets are used to capture linear or low-order nonlinear behaviour in a signal. In order to sufficiently utilise the global property of polynomials and the local property of wavelet representations simultaneously, in this study polynomial models and wavelet decompositions are combined together in a parallel structure to represent nonlinear input-output systems. As a special form of the NARMAX model, this hybrid model structure will be referred to as the WAvelet-NARMAX model, or simply WANARMAX. Generally, such a WANARMAX representation for an input-output system might involve a large number of basis functions and therefore a great number of model terms. Experience reveals that only a small number of these model terms are significant to the system output. A new fast orthogonal least squares algorithm, called the matching pursuit orthogonal least squares (MPOLS) algorithm, is also introduced in this study to determine which terms should be included in the final model
