Thought-Controlled Computer Applications: A Brain–Computer Interface System for Severe Disability Support

This study introduces an integrated computational environment that leverages Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology to enhance information access for individuals with severe disabilities. Traditional assistive technologies often rely on physical interactions, which can be challenging for this demographic. Our innovation focuses on creating new assistive technologies that use novel Human–Computer interfaces to provide a more intuitive and accessible experience. The proposed system offers four key applications to users controlled by four thoughts: an email client, a web browser, an e-learning tool, and both command-line and graphical user interfaces for managing computer resources. The BCI framework translates ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG) signals into commands or events using advanced signal processing and machine learning techniques. These identified commands are then processed by an integrative strategy that triggers the appropriate actions and provides real-time feedback on the screen. Our study shows that our framework achieved an 82% average classification accuracy using four distinct thoughts of 62 subjects and a 95% recognition rate for P300 signals from two users, highlighting its effectiveness in translating brain signals into actionable commands. Unlike most existing prototypes that rely on visual stimulation, our system is controlled by thought, inducing brain activity to manage the system’s Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). It switches to P300 mode for a virtual keyboard and text input. The proposed BCI system significantly improves the ability of individuals with severe disabilities to interact with various applications and manage computer resources. Our approach demonstrates superior performance in terms of classification accuracy and signal recognition compared to existing methods.

Вопросы правового регулирования импортозамещения мессенджеров на государственной и муниципальной службе

Introduction. Today, in the Russian Federation the authorities face the task of transition to domestic digital solutions at all levels of government. This issue is especially relevant in the conditions of economic sanctions. Theoretical analysis. According to the results of the analysis of the market of digital services that are used in the public authorities of the Russian Federation, we can conclude that in some categories there is still a dependence on the use of foreign solutions. Among such services messengers, video communication services and email clients were singled out. Empirical analysis. On the basis of the analysis, the author concludes that at the moment the issue of the use of a single messenger of Russian development by employees of government bodies has not been solved at the legislative level. Results. As a result of the analysis, to solve the problem, the author proposes to form unified technical requirements to messengers for the authorities, to approve the list of messengers and services authorized for use in the authorities for official communications, to establish a complete ban on the use of foreign messengers for official communications in the authorities and to approve the list of manufacturers of devices from which access to domestic messengers and services is allowed.

EmFORE: Learning Email Folder Classification Rules by Demonstration

Tools that help with email folder management are limited, as users have to manually write rules to assign emails to folders. We present EMFORE, an iterative learning system that automatically learns and updates such rules from observations. EMFORE is fast enough to suggest and update rules in real time and suppresses mails with low confidence to reduce the number of false positives. EMFORE can use different rule grammars, and thus be adapted to different clients, without changing the user experience. Previous methods do not learn rules, require complete retraining or multiple new examples after making a mistake, and do not distinguish between inbox and other folders. EMFORE learns rules incrementally and can make the neutral decision of leaving emails in the inbox, making it an ideal candidate for integration in email clients.

Development of the method for fuzz testing mail services based on an intelligent input parameter mutation

This article proposes a method of fuzz testing mail services based on an intelligent input parameter mutation, which is applicable not only to standard email protocols but also to their extended versions. The research examines the main extensions of POP, IMAP, and SMTP protocols. The described method was applied in laboratory conditions to evaluate its effectiveness compared to traditional fuzz testing methods. The results confirmed the possibility of using the method for fuzz testing not only email clients but also servers. Further research is planned to create intelligent methods for evaluating testing coverage in the absence of prior instrumentation of email client and server source code.

The human factor in phishing: Collecting and analyzing user behavior when reading emails

Phishing emails are constantly increasing their sophistication, and typical countermeasures struggle at addressing them. Attackers target our cognitive vulnerabilities with a varied set of techniques, and each of us, not trained enough or simply in the wrong moment, can be deceived and put an entire organization in trouble. To date, no study has evaluated the behavior of users when confronted with phishing emails characterized by a diverse set of features and attack strategies. We created a system called Spamley from these observations, which has the main aim of collecting and sharing data regarding such user behavior. Spamley is also meant to disseminate awareness among users. To reach these goals, we firstly analyzed the wide scientific literature on phishing. Our analysis shows that the focus of studies on phishing has more and more shifted from technical to human-oriented aspects. Building on this analysis we designed, implemented, and deployed a system comprising a web application to test user awareness about phishing, featuring a survey to identify the most interesting characteristics of users, and fueled by a large and varied set of test emails engineered to solicit the several possible cognitive vulnerabilities we all have. We describe in details the design and implementation choices, the lessons we learned, and the way we filled the gap in the available related work. Finally, we use real data from our first 500 users to show how data collected can be used for several important analyses, including which characteristics of the emails are more relevant for which cognitive vulnerability of specific groups of users. Results obtained can guide the development of novel email clients as well as tailored training programmes. Data collected is available to the scientific community for conducting further studies on the important and still unsolved issue of email phishing.

Analysis of email management strategies and their effects on email management performance

Through digitization as well as globalization, communication in the workplace has changed massively, and email communication is nowadays one important—if not the most important—communication tool. Many people at work, especially managers, feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume and content of the emails that they have to handle. Moreover, many emails lead to a sense of being strained due to regular task-switching and has negative consequences for fully utilizing an individual's cognitive capacity. These aspects of emails can result in cognitive overload, described as email overload, accompanied by lower work performance. Therefore, email management strategies are required that avoid email overload with its negative consequences and that increase email management performance.Previous studies have investigated single factors influencing the perceived email overload as well as specific single-item email management strategies that individuals apply in order to handle emails. Since email management strategies are best described by constructs comprising several items, this paper identifies for the first time a full set of well-validated email management strategies and their effects on email management performance. To obtain information about the individual email behavior of managers at work, a survey was conducted and factor as well as regression analyses were performed. The findings provide scientifically substantiated advice on which strategies can be used to improve the aforementioned performance: most particularly, by using the email client as a to-do list and by keeping the email inbox at zero. Explanatory approaches for these results are described against the background of cognitive theories.

How to safely communicate with a phishing attacker by email?

The published study is a part of the long-term research of emails with phishing attacks against the article's author. In the previous three years, 3 experiments were carried out to analyze phishing emails. The result is their detailed classification. The subsequent experiment was focused on defense against phishing attacks using the rules of the MS Outlook email client. The last experiment, which is the article's content, is devoted to analyzing communications with phishing attackers. A fake identity was created for the experiment and security rules were set up. A total of 100 phishing emails were answered, with a preference for those whose content was not aimed at fulfilling any request; that was clarified during the communications. The conducted literature search confirmed the assumption that no one is engaged in similar research, so the results of the research may be more interesting for the cybersecurity community. The articles of the literary research are focused on the issue of social engineering from an interdisciplinary perspective. A great deal of attention has also been oriented on the influence of social networks on people information perception or on their exploitation in cyber-attacks. The result of the study is a statistical analysis of communications and a detailed analysis of its content. Out of 100 replies to the phishing email, 32 (32%) were answered by the phisher. The longest communications had 6 cycles. If the phisher insisted aggressively on personal information, the communications was terminated. From the content of the communications, the attacker's procedures and his argumentation to obtain the required information were primarily examined. A detailed analysis of the texts from the communications aimed to answer the question of whether the phisher is a robot or a person. Further considerations are being made within the team on how to continue researching phishing attacks.

The Machine That Transformed Computing: The Xerox Alto Combined Windows, WYSIWYG, Menus, and Networking to Make the Modern PC

I'm sitting in front of a computer, looking at its graphical user interface with overlapping windows on a high-resolution screen. I interact with the computer by pointing and clicking with a mouse and typing on a keyboard. I'm using a word processor with the core features and functions of Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice's Writer, along with an email client that could be mistaken for a simplified version of Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird. This computer runs other software, written using object-oriented program-ming, just like the popular programming languages Python, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and R. Its networking capabilities can link me to other computers and to high-quality laser printers.

APLIKASI EMAIL CLIENT MULTI-PLATFORM DENGAN ENKRIPSI DATA BERBASIS JAVA

Client is an application that is used to send and receive e-mails through your computer without a browser. Simply by running the e-mail client application, the e-mail will automatically be downloaded to your computer. The more varied operating systems used by Users also sometimes make Users have to change email clients when moving operating systems, for example Windows Users who are used to Outlook have to use evolution on Linux, whereas when using Mac OS they have to use the Mail program. This is of course inconvenient for the User. Not to mention the security of the clinet email itself. In this research, software has been created to reduce existing problems. The method used in the design and manufacture of this software is the Guidelines for Rapid Application Engineering (Grapple) method. This software was created using Netbeans 7.0. This multi-platform email client application program with base64 encoding on a desktop base can run on three operating systems, namely Windows, Linux and Macinthos.

The Flight and a Spotlight on Southeast Asian Children’s Literature

The Flight and a Spotlight on Southeast Asian Children’s Literature Chrysogonus Siddha Malilang (bio) As I write these words, all the articles for my first Bookbird issues are finally compiled and ready for the next step in the process. My mind starts wandering back to my first working day as a junior journalist, when a senior recounted his struggle with design and layout problems. Just an hour before he needed to send everything to the printer, he discovered a glaring empty space in one of the pages. It was just enough for one paragraph, nothing more. In a state of desperation, he considered scanning his left sandal and using the image to fill that gap. Our mind surely works in peculiar ways; almost twenty years later, this supposedly funny story comes back to haunt me in my new capacity as an editor. I sigh in relief as I turn my gaze upon my computer and the opened e-mail client there. There lie a lot of e-mail exchanges, full of support and advice from people who have been caringly involved with the journal. I am not sure I want to count the number of e-mails I have sent to the previous editors, Petros Panaou and Janelle Mathis. I would like to thank them for their invaluable mentorship and the work they have put into making Bookbird soar ever higher in the last four years. I am also thankful for the help of Björn Sundmark—Bookbird editor from 2015 to 2018—who sits next to me at work. While my questions do not add to the daunting number of e-mails, he is always ready to support my Bookbird-related queries every time I knock at his office door. The president of Bookbird Inc., Valerie Coghlan, has also stood by me throughout the whole transition year, and her advice is nothing but invaluable. This issue’s cover illustration, from Var är min syster? by Sven Nordqvist, best summarizes the editorial expectation for this issue. Just as the unnamed protagonist begins to soar high and explore the big, exciting world full of wonder, I hope to continue the legacy left by Petros, Janelle, and all the editors who preceded them. In this issue, I would like to offer a spotlight on Southeast Asia and the development of children’s literature in the region, alongside other international articles that communicate multiple perspectives on issues we all care about. In the first article from the issue’s spotlight, “Philippine Children’s Stories as Protest: A Cognitive Stylistics Approach,” Lalaine F. Yanilla Aquino explores how five Filipino children’s books from the last seven years present a tumultuous political situation to children. This discussion of sociopolitical protest and movement within children’s literature is continued by Herdiana Hakim as she examines a picturebook about the 1998 [End Page 1] Indonesian reform movement in her article, “M Is for Movement: Innosanto Nagara’s Political Children’s Text as a Space for Critical Consciousness.” The third article, “‘And Now This Story Is Ours’: Fairy Tale and Collage in Trung Le Nguyen’s The Magic Fish” by Barbara Tannert-Smith, takes a different perspective by focusing on the intergenerational communication struggle of second-generation Vietnamese immigrants in America as well as identity and sexuality. In this unthemed issue, there are also articles covering other points of interest. A study of metamodernism and micropower is found in “Metamodern Engagement and Micropower in Lissa Evans’s Wed Wabbit” by Nurul Fateha. Offering a fresh take on the study of the representation of poverty in children’s literature from an East Asian perspective, Shih-Wen Sue Chen examines three Taiwanese picturebooks in “Economic Hardship in Taiwanese Picturebooks.” Meanwhile, from the Mediterranean region, Chryssa Kouraki and Vicky Patsiou present their study of otherness and migration in “The Image of ‘Foreigner’ in George Sari’s Autobiographical Fictional Characters.” In the Children and Their Books section, readers can follow Wigati Yektiningtyas and James Modouw’s effort to engage Papuan children in the easternmost part of Indonesia to read and increase their literacy. In the Letters section, Moisés Selfa Sastre and Enric Falguera Garcia introduce Núria Albertí and...

A Novel Spam Classification System for E-Mail Using a Gradient Fuzzy Guideline-Based Spam Classifier (GFGSC)

Spam messages have increased dramatically in recent years even as the number of email clients has grown. Email has already become a valuable way of communicating because it saves time and effort. However, numerous emails contain unwelcome content known as spam as a result of social platforms and advertisements. Despite the fact that many techniques have already been created for spam mails categorization, none of them achieves 100 percent efficiency in analyzing spam messages. So, in this research, we propose a novel Gradient Fuzzy Guideline-based Spam Classifier (GFGSC) for classifying the spam e-mails as spam or non-spam. This research uses four types of datasets and these datasets are pre-processed using normalization. Then the set of data can be extracted using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) techniques. The aspects are selected using Information Gain (IG) and Chi-Square (ChS) techniques. And the GFGSC classifier can be used for classifying the data as spam or non-spam with better effectiveness. Finally, the performances are examined and these metrics are matched with the existing approaches. The results are obtained using the MATLAB tool.

Email Security

A crucial network application is the email client. It is significant when it is used by the business, health, and educational groups to communicate vital information like business data, patient medical records, and so on. Data and messages can be easily transmitted between senders and receivers across internal networks or the Internet, enabling messages to be received, forwarded, saved, and broadcast to recipients. Due to its numerous features, email has become a popular choice for official communications in many companies. Electronic mail is accessible through a wide range of suitable software clients, as well as through a web browser, and is also widely used for personal usage. For the information security research community, email security becomes a critical concern. to increase the security of email.

An Algorithm for Improving Email Security on the Android Operating System in the Industry 4.0 Era

The world is attesting a tremendous change today, which is remarkably coined as industry 4.0. With several technologies shaping industry 4.0 epoch, notably, its cybersecurity entails the security of communication and network operations activities. The most common form of communication in organisations and business today is electronic mails (email). One of the major threats to email communication is the lack of confidentiality for emails accessed via Android mobile devices due to the weaknesses of the Android operating system (OS) platform. In this study, an algorithm was designed and implemented on an Android application that allows an email sender to compose an email and set the time the email stays in the receiver inbox before it automatically wipes off. Primary data were collected from email users using tightly structured questionnaires and respondents comprised of those with email technical background and typical email users, while secondary data from scholarly journals and articles informed the study design. The designed algorithm was tested and evaluated through expert opinion. The result of the study indicates that the autowipe algorithm addresses the confidentiality issues and threats on Android email clients.

Modification of Enigmail to Use Unique Cryptographic Algorithms in Email

In this paper, we modify an email client so that it can use unique cryptographic algorithms instead of general cryptographic algorithms for improved security. We use Thunderbird as an email client and modify Enigmail, which is an extension for Thunderbird, to use cryptographic algorithms implemented in GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG). To achieve this goal, we first dynamically analyze the source code of Enigmail and identify the parts related to processing with GnuPG. Then, we modify the identified parts so that Enigmail can use unique cryptographic algorithms, which are assumed to be implemented in GnuPG. The experimental evaluation confirms that the modified Enigmail securely exchanges email messages using pseudo-unique cryptographic algorithms, and confirms that the processing overhead of the modified Enigmail is negligibly small.

Intelligent deep learning based bidirectional long short term memory model for automated reply of e-mail client prototype

E-mail is considered the commonly used and efficient way of communication over the globe. In the corporate sectors, the number of E-mails received every day is considerably high and the timely response to every E-mail is essential. Several researchers believe that natural language processing (NLP) techniques by the use of deep learning (DL) architectures have played a considerable part to reduce manual work for repeated E-mail responses and intended to develop E-mail systems with intelligent response function. In this view, this paper designs an intelligent DL enabled optimal bidirectional long short term memory (Bi-LSTM) technique for an automated E-mail reply (OBiLSTM-AER) of E-mail Client Prototype. The goal of the proposed model is to provide an automated E-mail reply solution for persons as well as corporates which receive massive identical E-mails daily. The presented model employs Glove and OBiLSTM model for feature extraction of receiving and response E-mails respectively. Finally, softmax classifier is applied to allocate the class labels. For improving the performance of the BiLSTM model, the hyperparameter tuning process takes place using an oppositional glowworm swarm optimization (OGSO) algorithm. An extensive set of simulations were performed to highlight the betterment of the proposed method and the results are examined interms of distinct measures.

Implementation of Mail Server Based Of Squirrelmail Using Virtualization Technology at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara

Server virtualization technology is the use of one physical machine by several server operating systems. The design and implementation of this mail server was built using Debian.5 as the base operating system server. The design and implementation of mail servers is built using the dns server, web server and mail server / squirrelmail, configured using the help of the virtualbox application as a server. DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that stores information about host names and domain names in the form of scattered databases (distributed databases) on a computer network, for example the Internet. The application used to handle the delivery of mail messages is the mail server. This mail server always receives messages from e-mail clients that the user uses, or maybe from other e-mail servers. Web mail functions to send and view e-mail messages through a web browser. The squirrelmail configuration is done by running the conf.pl: $ / var / www / wemail / config / conf.pl script. Exchange Server services include: Directory Service, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol (POP3), IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), Complementary Services, System Attendants. For Mail Server Delivery Process can be seen in number5.2.

The application proposed here will be able to assist visually impaired people to manage their email-box without any assistance of other people and they can even compose emails, send replies to emails received and listen to received emails using text to voice and voice to text techniques proposed. For an average person it may seem a simple task to manage their own email-box but to a person who is not able to see, this task seems near impossible without assistance from other people. The proposed application helps visually impaired peoples to easily tackle these challenges and ensures private and secure email-box management.

Do You Feel the Same? On the Robustness of Cued-Recall Debriefing for User Experience Evaluation

Cued Recall Debriefing (CRD) is a form of retrospective think aloud approach. It involves re-immersing users to a level where emotional responses are comparable to those experienced during actual interaction with a system. To validate whether the robustness of CRD would vary with the time gap between the actual and recalled event and with the affective state preceding the recall, two empirical studies with altogether 100 participants were conducted. Specifically, participants’ emotions were measured in terms of galvanic skin response (GSR) , heart rate (HR) , and self-assessment manikin (SAM) rating when they were interacting with an email client seeded with usability problems. The same measures were taken when they viewed the videoed interactions. Two between-subject variables were ‘intervening time’ (from 0 minutes up to 24 hours) and ‘intervening affect’ (images with different valence and arousal). Advanced computational models were applied to optimise the shifting of GSR/HR waves generated at the actual interaction and recall phases, which were found to be significantly correlated. The shifting process is necessary for addressing the memory effect and is a methodological innovation. Overall, CRD proved to be a robust method that can be deployed to a broad range of HCI research and practice contexts.

PCA based email spam detection utilizing machine learning approaches

Email is perhaps the most secure mechanism for online correspondence and moving information or messages through the web. A congesting expansion in notoriety, the quantity of spontaneous information has likewise expanded quickly. To sifting information, various methodologies exist which naturally identify and eliminate these unsound messages. Spam messages impact the associations monetarily as well as bother the individual email client. Presently a day’s Machine learning frameworks are utilized to thus channel the spam email in an extraordinarily powerful rate. The reason for this investigation is to recognize significant diminished information highlights in building IDS that is computationally proficient and viable. In this paper, we propose a structure for highlight decrease utilizing head part investigation (PCA) to wipe out unessential highlights, choosing pertinent and non-related highlights without influencing the data contained in the first information and afterward utilizing choice tree and SVM calculations to group email information. The point is to lessen a few highlights of information by PCA and afterward assemble a forecast of characterization model by choice tree and SVM to acquire pertinent highlights and to improve the precision of choice tree and SVM. Observational outcomes show that chose decreased traits give better execution to configuration spam mail discovery framework that is productive and powerful for Email spam sifting.

E-Mail Spam Classification using Naive Bayesian Classifier

— E-mail spam is the very recent problem for every individual. The e-mail spam is nothing it’s an advertisement of any company/product or any kind of virus which is receiving by the email client mailbox without any notification. To solve this problem the different spam filtering technique is used. The spam filtering techniques are used to protect our mailbox for spam mails. In this project, we are using the Naïve Bayesian Classifier for spam classification. The Naïve Bayesian Classifier is very simple and efficient method for spam classification. Here we are using the Lingspam dataset for classification of spam and non-spam mails. The feature extraction technique is used to extract the feature. The result is to increase the accuracy of the system.
