A Novel Authentication and Key Agreement Scheme for Countering MITM and Impersonation Attack in Medical Facilities

Authentication is used to enfold the privacy of the patient to implement security onto the communication between patients and service providers. Several types of research have proposed support for anonymity for contextual privacy in medical systems that are still vulnerable to impersonation attack and Man-in-the-middle attack. By using powerful technology that is used in medical facilities, it can help in building an advanced system. However, the same powerful tools can also be used by the attackers to gain personal profits and to cause chaos. The proposed countermeasure that is to be taken to prevent this kind of attacks is by implementing mutual authentication between users, their devices/mobile devices, and the system’s cloud server, and also a key agreement scheme together with the help of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). A novel authentication scheme which consists of two phases, a signature generation, and authentication process. The ECC implementation is to ensure that the keys are thoroughly secured and is not copy- able, together with a Key generation scheme that shields the system against impersonation attacks. The usage of Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), in a signature generation, on the other hand, provides users more secure way to hide the user private key and bring additional security layer before proceeding to authentication phase due to the existence of extra elements of domain parameters. Authentication is still considered as a crucial component in maintaining the security of any critical facilities that require the CIA tried and non- repudiation as a need to maintain their data. It does not only apply to medical centers, but any organizations that possess valuable data that is needed to be protected also requires strong authentication protocols. Thus, the trend for the need of novel authentication protocols will keep on rising as technology gets fancier and fancier

FarmAid : Mobile Application for Agriculture Management

Most people are negligent on the importance of agriculture on the society. It is very crucial for society to take agriculture seriously as it is an important asset for their country and as the main source of food for the people. Agriculture have developed rapidly from just a simple hunting and gathering method to the more advance industry level agriculture that consist of technologies, machinery and management skills. With the increase popularity of business in agriculture, it is important for all farmer to manage their farm well to minimize potential loss during the business process. For this reason, FarmAid was design and developed to serve as a method to help farmer managing their farm by providing functions and services to help farmer in agriculture management. FarmAid is a mobile application that intended to provide farmer a platform to manage their farm. The main objective of FarmAid is to help farmer in managing their farm. This mobile application will help the farmer manage their expenses, profit and calculate their total profit gain within planting period. In addition, the mobile apps can be a medium of communication among the farmer to discuss on agriculture matter and ask any question regarding agriculture issues. Besides that, this mobile apps will help farmer in planning their planting process by calculating the estimated seedlings for planting and help farmer to convert SI unit for their planting purposes. This project is using agile methodology which consists of five phases which are planning, requirement analysis, design, develop and documentation
