Combining Cryptographic Primitives According to Security Metrics and Vulnerabilities in Real Systems

There are so many applications and data that flow during our daily activities, either personal or institutional ones. Also the companies and business do transactions or their real operations through the Web and other Internet facilities. Security breaches are costing individuals or companies millions so information security has to be a major priority. There are several forms of security technology available, but encryption is one that everyday computer users should know about. Encryption and the performance of cryptographic algorithms are variable according to implemented platforms, software and hardware components or application scenarios. According to specific security metrics and requirements we have to use algorithms even in a combined manner that should be more efficient and best suited. Multi-level encryption and hybrid encryption should be a fine solution to protect our data. In this paper we specify the security musts according to Alfa software using cryptographic algorithms

ENHANCED PARTICIPANTS' REGISTRATION MODEL ON OPEN PUBLIC EVENTS

The Digital transformation (DT) has challenged most of the Event Management (EM) services at a time when organizers of open public events still faced a lot of manual operations upon registration of the public event’s participants. This survey demonstrates a model to increase a level of digitalization and use of technology, with increased self-service level for registered participants and digital data transfer. The model is based on outcomes from the series of several case studies, practical tests and research activities in Latvia, Albania, and Germany. The paper examines different ways how organizers are able to innovate their routine activities and encourage the broader public to learn and use various digital technologies: Radio-frequency identification (RFID), Near-field Communication (NFC), Quick Response (QR) codes and Mobile apps with a purpose to link the physical and the digital world in the one coherent model. In this research the major part of event management process modelling had been done by Business process Model and Notation (BPMN2) approach. The approach proposed by authors aims to reduce the costs and workload of organizers associated with participants’ registration in open public events where preliminary registration is still practically impossible or forbidden because of personal data protection issues.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RECOVERY MODEL IN POST COVID-19 PERIOD: LATVIA CASE STUDY

Physical activity is one of the triggers to sustainable economic and social development of societies. The Political Declaration of the 2030 Agenda reflects on “the contribution sports make to the empowerment of women and of young people, individuals and communities, as well as to health, education and social inclusion objectives” [1]. COVID-19 restrictions forced the industry to find new ways to organize interregional and international events and find the ways out of the sudden crisis [2]. In this paper, authors focus on analysis of physical activity and sports recovery process after COVID-19 pandemic that has created profound challenges for youngsters and their family members. This research relies on empirical data collected from main orienteering sports events in Latvia and demonstrates original forecast model that compliments existing system dynamic simulation models affected by COVID-19 situation with respect to increased level of digitalization and extensive use of technologies. Research outcomes demonstrate that the cancellation of sports activities negatively affects such social aspects as people mobility, social cohesion, emotional satisfaction and excitement. As follows, it leads to lower physical and mental activity for individuals, especially children and youth. At the same time, the research outcomes of authors’ developed system dynamics simulation model shows that a recovery process of analysed physical activity and sports events is reasonably fast and, in the most cases, in two years reached a level of pre-COVID-19 period with tendency to positive growth in future. Created original system dynamic simulation model embraces full data sets of ten years (2014-2023), extracted from orienteering sports events published data in Latvia, as well as outcomes of several practical testing and theoretical research activities in Latvia and Albania. For collection and systemization of empirical data, authors used the concept of “Citizen Science”. The Citizen Science is an ever-growing field of public engagement with science, and recent years have seen an increasing number of studies examining its potential [3]. The conclusions, made by authors of this research, are useful for various sports and active lifestyle events’ organizers, supporters, spectators and others, involved in the organization process of physical activity and sports events to attract more participants, spectators and tourists to their areas

An assessment of impact of information and communication technology in enterprızes of Korça region

International audienceEver-evolving and increasingly powerful Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have fundamentally changed the nature of global relationships, sources of competitive advantage and opportunities for economic and social development. ICTs have greatly increased the impact on every area of human life. Technologies such as the Internet, personal computers and wireless have turned the globe into a network of individuals, businesses, governments, and ever-growing schools who communicate and interact with one another. Without doubt ICTs plays a strategic role in managing organizations. This paper presents a part of the current state of ICTs for enterprises by establishing comparative bases for further studies in this field. It also helps academic institutions to evaluate and identify factors, as well as the specific role and weight of these factors have in the process of developing ICTs towards a developed economy and society in the context of digital Albania. It is presented as a scientific analyse, accomplished, detailed and expressed in percentage and graphical analysis of a number of very important data sets of enterprises in their full form, to unlock developments in the field of ICTs in our country, including specific ones based on concrete data. This study tends to study the extent to which these but have involved ICTs and what impact these technologies have in the daily work of these organizations in part of Albania (Korca Region)and brings its contribution as a perspective of literature, experience and international studies, the level of development of our country regarding the assessment of electronic readiness of business organizations
