Secured Lossless Share Watermarking
Security has gained a lot of importance as information technology is widely used. The main issue in visual cryptography is quality of reconstructed image. This problem is overcome by using “Secured Lossless share Watermarking ”. In this method the quality of reconstructed image is higher and the security of share is high compare with conventional visual cryptographic scheme. The secret image is converted into. Each share is embedded to different carrier images. Invisible watermarking method is used for embedding carrier image and shares. For security, the invisible watermarked shares are then encrypted, AES modified encryption method is used. The encrypted shares are send to other participants. At the receiver end receiving the shares and decrypt the shares, then combining these shares together reveal the secret. The quality of rejoined shares and original secret shares are almost same.

Ensuring patients privacy in a cryptographic-based-electronic health records using bio-cryptography
Several recent works have proposed and implemented cryptography as a means to
preserve privacy and security of patients health data. Nevertheless, the
weakest point of electronic health record (EHR) systems that relied on these
cryptographic schemes is key management. Thus, this paper presents the
development of privacy and security system for cryptography-based-EHR by taking
advantage of the uniqueness of fingerprint and iris characteristic features to
secure cryptographic keys in a bio-cryptography framework. The results of the
system evaluation showed significant improvements in terms of time efficiency
of this approach to cryptographic-based-EHR. Both the fuzzy vault and fuzzy
commitment demonstrated false acceptance rate (FAR) of 0%, which reduces the
likelihood of imposters gaining successful access to the keys protecting
patients protected health information. This result also justifies the
feasibility of implementing fuzzy key binding scheme in real applications,
especially fuzzy vault which demonstrated a better performance during key
reconstruction
AES-CBC Software Execution Optimization
With the proliferation of high-speed wireless networking, the necessity for
efficient, robust and secure encryption modes is ever increasing. But,
cryptography is primarily a computationally intensive process. This paper
investigates the performance and efficiency of IEEE 802.11i approved Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES)-Rijndael ciphering/deciphering software in Cipher
Block Chaining (CBC) mode. Simulations are used to analyse the speed, resource
consumption and robustness of AES-CBC to investigate its viability for image
encryption usage on common low power devices. The detailed results presented in
this paper provide a basis for performance estimation of AES cryptosystems
implemented on wireless devices. The use of optimized AES-CBC software
implementation gives a superior encryption speed performance by 12 - 30%, but
at the cost of twice more memory for code size.Comment: 8 pages, IEEE 200

Protection of an intrusion detection engine with watermarking in ad hoc networks
Mobile ad hoc networks have received great attention in recent years, mainly due to the evolution of wireless networking and mobile computing hardware. Nevertheless, many inherent vulnerabilities exist in mobile ad hoc networks and their applications that affect the security of wireless transactions. As intrusion prevention mechanisms, such as encryption and authentication, are not sufficient we need a second line of defense, Intrusion Detection. In this pa-per we present an intrusion detection engine based on neural networks and a protection method based on watermarking techniques. In particular, we exploit information visualization and machine learning techniques in order to achieve intrusion detection and we authenticate the maps produced by the application of the intelligent techniques using a novel combined watermarking embedding method. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated under different traffic conditions, mobility patterns and visualization metrics
