The use of artificial intelligence in education in the light of security Culture according to the opinions of Hungarian and Turkish youth

Today, the importance of information security in education is increasingly emphasised. For members of generations X, Y and Alpha, ICT tools have become everyday objects of use, making it essential that teaching methods adapt and innovate accordingly. In particular, it is important that students learn to use data and devices safely, and the necessary guidelines should be integrated into the educational process. The six principles of security set out by the OECD apply to both students and teachers and provide guidance for users. Safety awareness is central to the development of a safety culture. In addition to knowledge and competences, safety culture also includes awareness and intentionality, which are essential for future success. There are many dimensions and aspects of awareness, but perhaps the most important in the context of education is the development of the digital dimension. However, it is also important to teach young people about the safe use of artificial intelligence and the limits of its applicability. The aim of our study is to examine how young people use the opportunities offered by digitalisation in educational institutions, with a particular focus on the use of AI and the perceptions and visions of its use. We will interpret this through an intercultural lens, comparing the intercultural characteristics and attitudinal differences of Hungarian and Turkish youth based on a questionnaire survey conducted in both countries.

The article discusses the importance of research approaches in this direction in the context of the fact that it can be of great importance in the education of the personnel of the armed forces of the country, since the security of the state largely depends on them.

A Proposed Blockchain based System for Secure Data Management of Computer Networks

As technology continues to evolve, the importance of information security and management becomes more crucial than ever. Blockchain and machine learning (ML) are two technologies that are gaining increasing attention in this field. Blockchain provides a secure and decentralized platform for storing and sharing information, while ML can help detect patterns and anomalies in data to identify potential security threats. This paper proposes a blockchain-based ML system for securing information management by providing an automated service for detecting anomalies in Ethereum transactions. The system utilizes a blockchain network to securely store and manage data, and ML algorithms to analyze and detect potential security threats. We present a case study using the Ethereum Fraud Detection Dataset to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed system in detecting fraudulent transactions. Our results show that our system outperforms traditional ML algorithms in terms of accuracy (99.55%), and F1-score (99.98%), highlighting the potential of blockchain-based ML for improving information security and management in various industries.

Does nationality affect nurses’ information security participation? A comparative study in Iran and Poland

BackgroundConfidential personal data breaches are a serious problem for medical service providers. This may result in high financial costs for medical care facilities and unnecessary stress for patients. Research on information security (IS) in healthcare has been insufficient thus far. International studies may add a new perspective on this issue.Participants and procedureA quantitative approach was assumed to analyse relationships between IS climate and IS indicators in countries with different cultures (Iran and Poland). The Information Security Climate Index developed by Kessler et al. were used in the study. The PLS3 and SPSS 22 software was used for data analysis.ResultsResults showed that the predicted factors of nurses’ IS participation were different in Iran and Poland. In both countries, nurses' perception of the importance of IS had an effect on IS participation, but in Poland, IS compliance had an additional positive effect. In addition, IS compliance moderated the relationship between IS motivation and IS participation.ConclusionsComponents of IS climate have a significant effect on nurses’ IS participation in both Iran and Poland, though nationality can modify this relation. However, in both countries, by linking IS policies with human resource management activities such as performance appraisal and training, nurses’ perception of IS importance can be increased and IS participation can be facilitated.

A Review on Conceptual Model of Cyber Attack Detection and Mitigation Using Deep Ensemble Model

Purpose: When communication networks and the internet of things are integrated into business control systems, they become more vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which can have disastrous consequences. An Intrusion Detection System is critical for identifying and blocking attacks in IoT networks. As a result, utilizing a unique Classification and Encryption approach, this article offered a novel architecture for attack node mitigation. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study reviews the current status of various cyber-attack detection models and their mitigation techniques. The proposed model works so that the system is first trained on the dataset, including the DDoS attack and ransomware components. The model examines if it contains malware from DDoS or Ransomware. When tested, we use trained information or a data set to provide the results on attack existence and what sort of attack we offer the extracted characteristics of the input.

A Novel Image Encryption Technique Based on Cyclic Codes over Galois Field.

In the modern world, the security of the digital image is vital due to the frequent communication of digital products over the open network. Accelerated advancement of digital data exchange, the importance of information security in the transmission of data, and its storage has emerged. Multiple uses of the images in the security agencies and the industries and the security of the confidential image data from unauthorized access are emergent and vital. In this paper, Bose Chaudhary Hocquenghem (BCH) codes over the Galois field are used for image encryption. The BCH codes over the Galois field construct MDS (maximum distance separable) matrices and secret keys for image encryption techniques. The encrypted image is calculated, by contrast, correlation, energy, homogeneity, and entropy. Histogram analysis of the encrypted image is also assured in this paper. The proposed image encryption scheme's security analysis results are improved compared to the original AES algorithm. Further, security agencies can utilize this work for their confidential image data.

DATABASE – WEB INTERFACE VULNERABILITIES

The importance of information security in general, of managed information at the level of a database has increased with the expansion of the Internet. On the other hand, it has acquired new facets with the increase of the accessibility of the users to as many resources as possible. Large volume of private data in use and the limitation of unauthorized actions to information have brought new aspects to the issue of ensuring their protection. The scope of this field is wide and allows the operation in several directions: identification, description, creation, implementation and testing of mechanisms aimed at improving the working environment in which database management systems operates. Due to the importance of the information managed by a DBMS[1], it is necessary to define a framework safe and easy to use. The database fulfills not only the role of storage, but also of data provider to users. Thus, the information must be protected throughout the interaction process: generation, storage, processing, modification, deletion, etc. Therefore, the security of databases must not only be reduced to the protection of certain data considered sensitive, but also to the creation of a secure, authorized and controlled global environment through which information becomes available to users.

Efficient data hiding method for videos based on adaptive inverted LSB332 and secure frame selection with enhanced Vigenere cipher

In recent years, the importance of information security has increased due to the growth in digital communication and steganography has come to the fore for secure communication. Steganography ensures that the secret data to be sent in a multimedia file such as text, picture or video embedded in a way that cannot be understood by third parties. Although image steganography has become popular recently, video steganography has also been widely used and preferred recently, due to its high data hiding capacity and robustness. This paper proposes a new data hiding algorithm in video steganography for effective frame selection, high embedding capacity and good visual quality. The proposed algorithm has two phases: frame selection and data hiding. In the first phase, the frame selection offers a rapid and impressive new method based on enhanced Vigenere. The most significant advantage of this algorithm is to achieve the same level of security without using complex operations such as chaotic systems used in existing methods. In the second phase, we have used adaptive LSB332 for data hiding, which embeds video files with high capacity, high PSNR and SSIM. When the experimental results evaluated, it was observed that the proposed method is over 65 dB PSNR value and 0.99 SSIM value at 20 kbits data capacity. It was also achieved approximately 55 dB and 50 dB PSNR value at 200 kbits and 500 kbits data capacities, respectively, where is no appreciable loss in the SSIM value. Compared to LSB332 based methods, the capacity increased by approximately 12% at same visual qualities. Furthermore, the visual quality of the proposed method is much better than other video data hiding methods, while the capacity increases by 19%.

Relevant Problems of Implementing State Policy in the Field of Ensuring Information Security of Ukraine

The emphasis has been placed on the fact that the state is currently aware of the importance of information security within its territory and takes a number of important steps in this direction, such as the development of a new Information Security Strategy. However, such steps are difficult to consider objective, since they do not take into account a number of legal and organizational problems that need to be addressed promptly. Such problems include the following. First of all, the existence of an extensive regulatory and legal base in the information sphere in general and ensuring economic security, in particular. A large number of laws and by-laws different in their content and essence significantly complicates the development of comprehensive measures to ensure information security of Ukraine, and therefore needs to be improved. The latter can be implemented by codifying the said regulatory and legal base and by adopting the Code of Ukraine on Information and Information Relations, where a separate Section will be focused on information security issues. Secondly, the current conditions, where Ukraine finds itself, require the government to quickly adopt a new modern Information Security Strategy, which will include a number of measures aimed at improving such security level, since the latter is undoubtedly one of the important components of national security. Thirdly, the issue of ensuring certain aspects of information security is attributed to the tasks of various state authorities (Parliament, Government, executive authorities, law enforcement agencies, etc.). Moreover, such issues should be addressed at the local level by both legal entities and individuals, in the latter case we can talk about the personal information security of each person. This multiplicity of subjects of information security and the difference in their powers necessitates the creation of an appropriate coordinating agency with special powers in the mentioned area.

Image steganography based on a new hybrid chaos map and discrete transforms

With the development of Internet networks, the importance of information security is becoming more and more significant. Therefore, it is considered necessary to study the existing methods in order to develop them for creating more suitable approaches. Due to the fact that, in the most communication networks image is one of the most popular and widely used communication formats, the method presented in this paper is the image steganography method in transform domain. In order to enhance the image transfer, first of all, we have introduced a hybrid chaotic map based on the sine and Logistic-Tent systems by applying radical function and a variety of trigonometric functions. Furthermore, we have represented some new kinds of shift operators for shuffling pixel positions of the cover image in order to improve resistance of the algorithm against different kinds of attacks. In the proposed algorithms, we have also applied discrete framelet and wavelet transforms on secret and cover images, respectively. To show the ability of the proposed algorithm, the results have been evaluated.

Comparing the Effects of Two Methods of Education (Online versus Offline) and Gender on Information Security Behaviors

The importance of information security is increasing, and various efforts are being made to improve users’ information security behaviors. Among these various efforts, information security education is mainly aimed at providing users with information security knowledge and improving information security awareness. This study classified the types of information security education into offline and online to examine the effects of each education method on attitudes toward information security (perceived severity, vulnerability, self-efficacy and response-efficacy) and information security behaviors. A survey was conducted for users with information security education experiences. The results obtained by comparing the differences in the path coefficients of personal information security behaviors according to information security education experiences showed that security behaviors were more significant in the online experience group than the offline group. In addition, gender differences were analyzed, and it was found that females had a greater impact on information security attitudes than males. This study also found that among Internet users with online information security education experience, females tend to have more information security behavior than males, but there were contrasting results among users with offline information security education experiences. The results of this study finally address the necessity of reflecting users’ personalities in the systematic design of information security education in the future. Furthermore, the results of this study support the need for an appropriate education system that sufficiently understands education types to maximize the effects of information security education.
