LPSRUA–MIoT: Lightweight and Provable Secure Remote User Authentication Scheme for Multi‐Gateway Computing Framework in Internet of Things

ABSTRACTInternet of Things (IoT) has evolved into a new era of information and communication technology where several day‐to‐day usable physical objects have been interconnected to form an intelligent ad‐hoc network that is deployed into various hostile environments to monitor, gather and process the surveillance data. However, there is a huge potential gap between communication in traditional wired network and wireless IoT network. IoT network is susceptible to several security threats due to their distributed and decentralized architecture, open nature of communication channel, dynamic nodal infrastructure, high possibilities of malicious penetrations, and so forth. In this scenario, a secure, efficient, and lightweight remote user authentication and key agreement scheme can play a significant role to mitigate the above‐mentioned issues and to provide well‐protected communication between the communicating entities in the IoT environment. Therefore in this paper, we have proposed a provable secure, robust and lightweight biometric‐enabled mutual authentication scheme for a multi‐gateway IoT environment using an irreversible hash function and fuzzy extractor. To support our claim, we have formally verified our scheme using the broadly accepted Random Oracle Model (ROM) and further simulated using the widely used AVISPA simulation tool. Additionally, the performance analysis in terms of computation and communication overheads of the proposed scheme is compared with other existing relevant authentication schemes that clearly shows that the proposed protocol maintains an acceptable efficiency security trade‐off for implementation in real‐life scenarios.

Socratic Method in the Use of Web Tools

In the integral training of the student from the Being, to know, to know-how and to know-how to-be; the American University Corporation within its pedagogical model assumes a systemic model, self-regulating constructivist.; teaching and learning revolve around building knowledge from collaborative work, enabling student training. The constructivist model has its roots in philosophy, psychology, sociology and education. the verb build comes from the Latin struere, which means 'fix' or 'give structure'. Constructivism offers a new paradigm for this new era of information motivated by new technologies that have emerged in recent years. With the advent of these technologies (wikis, social networks, blogs...). In this model learning is active, not passive. people learn when they can control their learning, which generates a relatively permanent change in associations or mental representations as a result of the experience. Teaching addresses discrete learning strategies and models, Those addressed in this space are the Socratic Dialogue for the Development of Critical Thinking that seeks to develop skills in the students of Public Accounting that allow them to perform a reflective critical analysis and the methodology of Applied Projects in which the student is taken, individually or in a group to project something concrete and to execute it, giving you the opportunity to check ideas through your app and stimulate creative thinking.

자연 이미지를 활용한 헤어디자인 제안 연구

In October 2022, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea confirmed that school regulations regarding hair length infringe upon students’ rights. Back in 1982, the Ministry of Education introduced ‘Hairdo Freedom’. Since then, the regulations have been adjusted in response to social changes. Nonetheless, witnessing such regulations being lifted remains exceptional. In fact, there have been various discussions regarding regulations for employees as well as students. These changes indicate that our society has transitioned from an era of ‘respect for human rights’ to an era of ‘respect for individuality’. The respect for individuality forms the foundation for the ground for the growth of beauty industry. This necessitates a high level of professionalism in each field because consumers seek out experts who can distinguish themselves with unique styling skills and expertise. Consequently, beauty corporations have strived to introduce new styles on a quarterly or annual basis, while small businesses have also been releasing their own styles. In this new era of information and communications technology (ICT), consumers access information about these experts through their mobile devices. Therefore, it is the right time to develop new and creative ideas to effectively respond to such changes. Throughout the extensive history of art, nature has served as a focal point for aesthetic inspiration. In fact, it holds great symbolic significance as an art motif in design because it offers a wealth of unique images that can inspire people to create imaginative artworks. These days, the trend-sensitive beauty industry has experienced an increase in demand for distinctive and creative designs. Given these circumstances, it seems that nature could serve as a creative and distinctive source of inspiration. Therefore, this study proposes practical hairstyles inspired by such natural images.

Developing competencies relating to information science and technology in Japanese undergraduate medical education

In response to the growing expectation and recognized potential for integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into medicine, the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education in Japan incorporated ‘the ability to use information science and technology’ as a new competency in its 2022 revision. This study aimed to identify specific learning objectives that medical students should achieve to acquire this competency. The research team developed an initial list of 107 learning objectives through a literature survey. Subsequently, two rounds of expert panel surveys were conducted to refine these objectives. Seventy-four medical education stakeholders participated in the expert panel, including medical and non-medical faculty, medical students, graduate students, and university staff. Through the expert panel surveys, 13 learning objectives were finally established from the initial list, consisting of three categories: ‘Ethics and rules for dealing with information science and technology,’ ‘Principles of information science and technology necessary for medical care and surrounding society,’ and ‘Application of information science and technology in clinical practice.’ Our investigation effectively identified essential components of competencies for integrating ICT into medical education. The identified learning objectives would provide valuable insights for designing curricula for undergraduates in the new era of information and artificial intelligence.

Research on Information Poverty in Ethnic Border Regions

The information revolution has ushered in a new era of information and economy, with information resources becoming a key resource for regional economic strength and core competitiveness. In the process of informatization in China, there is a significant gap between the central and western regions and the eastern regions in terms of information infrastructure, information resource transmission and acquisition capabilities, information resource utilization and development potential, and information industry development. Therefore, information differentiation and the digital divide have also become important factors leading to the wealth gap in the information age. Against the backdrop of promoting the development of poverty-stricken areas and rural revitalization strategies, the issue of information poverty among the vast rural population in the western region, especially in ethnic border areas, cannot be ignored. To solve the problem of information poverty in ethnic border areas, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of rural information environment, improve farmers’ information literacy, strengthen the construction of information service talent team, and improve the effectiveness of information services.

Challenges of Islamic education in the new era of information and communication technologies

Various consequences of social networks in virtual space are expanding as a new phenomenon in Islamic societies in line with other societies. Social science thinkers point to the two-sided role of the Internet and virtual space in economic, cultural and religious development. Humans need to communicate collectively based on their inherent nature. The media and means of mass communication, which had a slow growth in the past, have faced significant changes in the present era, in such a way that the present age is called the age of information and communication. At such a time when virtual space and social networks have turned the world into a small village and people with different cultures and beliefs are connected with each other, the issues of children’s education (especially in Islamic societies where the focus is on Islamic education) has faced the challenge, what is important for parents in this age is to get familiar with the basics of education and to pay attention to the educational challenges of social networks in the virtual space. One of the necessities of the era of information and communication in Islamic societies is the need for education in accordance with religious teachings that prepares people to face the changing and unpredictable challenges of life. New media are accused of creating new challenges in life from two perspectives. On the one hand, the media are competitors of educational activities in the field of education, and on the other hand, they are considered to be the foundation of many new challenges. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the religious teachings that form the basis of Islamic governments are the answer to all the problems of the human society and its requirements in every age.Contribution: This research presents the effectiveness of religious teachings (Qur’an, Sunnah and Hadiths) as the best sources of Islamic education, which can be used in the cultural policy of virtual space and raise the level of awareness of families and individuals in knowing the points of threat and opportunity in the virtual space.

This paper will discuss the impacts of Education on TikTok, which will provide future implications for those students who plan to use social media like Tik Tok to study.

Growing Networks – Modelling the Growth of Word Association Networks for Hungarian and English

In the new era of information and communication technology, the representation of information is of increasing importance. Knowing how words are connected to each other in the mind and what processes facilitate the creation of connections could result in better optimized applications, e.g. in computer aided education or in search engines.
 This paper models the growth process of a word association database with an algorithm. We present the network structure of word associations for an agglutinative language and compare it with the network of English word associations. Using the real-world data so obtained, we create a model that reproduces the main features of the observed growth process and show the evolution of the network. The model describes the growth of the word association data as a mixture of a topic based process and a random process.
 The model makes it possible to gain insight into the overall processes which are responsible for creating an interconnected mental lexicon.

Structural Metaphors of Headlines of Financial and Economic Articles and Their Translation Strategy: Based on The Economist

In the new era of information and technology, an increasing number of people can get easier access to original western magazines and news reports, thus attaining first-hand information. The Economist , a journal in UK that is read worldwide, includes various sections like World News, Politics, Business, and Finance and Economics. It is necessary to conduct relevant researches on headlines, which provide central ideas of full texts to readers. Structural metaphor, one of three major kinds of conceptual metaphor, is a development of traditional metaphor theories under a cognitive perspective. Due to the wide use of structural metaphors in headlines of articles about business and economics, and the importance of their translation for Chinese readers, the present author intends to discuss the types of structural metaphors and their corresponding translation strategies by taking some of the headlines from “Business” and “Finance and Economics” columns of The Economist as a case study.

Classifying Model-View-Controller Software Applications Using Self-Organizing Maps

The new era of information and the needs of our society require continuous change in software and technology. Changes are produced very quickly and software systems require evolving at the same velocity, which implies that the decision-making process of software architectures should be (semi-)automated to satisfy changing needs and to avoid wrong decisions. This issue is critical since suboptimal architecture design decisions may lead to high cost and poor software quality. Therefore, systematic and (semi-)automated mechanisms that help software architects during the decision-making process are required. Architectural patterns are one of the most important features of software applications, but the same pattern can be implemented in different ways, leaving to results of different quality. When an application requires to evolve, knowledge extracted from similar applications is useful for driving decisions, since quality pattern implementations can be reproduced in similar applications to improve specific quality attributes. Therefore, clustering methods are especially suitable for classifying similar pattern implementations. In this paper, we apply a novel unsupervised clustering technique, based on the well-known artificial neural network model Self-Organizing Maps, to classify Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern from a quality point of view. Software quality is analyzed by 24 metrics organized into the categories of Count/Size, Maintainability, Duplications, Complexity, and Design Quality. The main goal of this work is twofold: to identify the quality features that establish the similarity of MVC applications without software architect bias, and to classify MVC applications by means of Self-Organizing Maps based on quality metrics. To that end, this work performs an exploratory study by conducting two analyses with a dataset of 87 Java MVC applications characterized by the 24 metrics and two attributes that describe the technology dimension of the application. The stated findings provide a knowledge base that can help in the decision-making process for the architecture of Java MVC applications.

Optimized Approach for Collaborative eLearning using Real-Time Social Networks

With the new era of Information and Communication Technology; collaborative learning is considered to be an elearning approach where learners are able to socially interact to the others, as well as instructors. In essence, learners work together in order to expand their knowledge of a particular subject or skill. Nowadays, Social Networks could be used as an e-learning platform. One would typically log in and collaborate with other learners on a specific topic using the social network as the common working space. In this paper, a new approach is presented for collaborative learning throughout social networks. The behavior the proposed approach is presented. The proposed collaborative e-learning approach consists of three modules. The first one is mobile application which is used for collecting some data about the user and his/her interests that may be considered as a data entry process. The second module is getting some location information using the GPS of the mobile device. The third module here is matching algorithm, which will do two main functions. The first one is matching the interests of the users and displaying the results based on these interests. The second one is displaying the results and sorting it based on the nearest user.in addition to routing information.

Impact of We Media on Deconstruction and Reconstruction of College Students’ Ideological and Moral Outlook

In recent years, the rapid development of network technology has brought new changes in the media, and pushes mankind into a new era of information. The network we media represented by the Internet is the product of current network technology and media, because of its high openness, freedom and tolerance, the network we media becomes the important strength impacting ideological and moral aspects of college students. On the one hand, the new media can enrich students’ information resources, broaden their horizons, on the other hand, the information brought by new media is not always good, which impacts the students’ moral outlook, and the traditional moral order is imbalanced. The moral anomie phenomenon of college students has aroused great concern of the society, under the background of new media, moral construction has become increasingly prominent. As the pillar of national future, college students’ moral level is closely related to the development of social morality. In the network media environment, due to the immaturity of college students’ moral, inappropriate moral education at school and the new media environment, the moral cognition and moral behavior are not aligned, and the moral subject is absent. The moral education at the virtual space is detached with the moral education from reality, and moral standards are diverse. Therefore, it is imperative to set up correct moral consciousness and cultivate good behavior habits. In this paper, the positive and negative aspects of the influence of we media on ideological and moral outlook of college are analyzed, and the college students’ ideological and moral status in the network we media environment are analyzed. It is pointed out that in the process of shaping the moral outlook for students, school should be responsible for the ideological and moral cultivation, and make the network we media a healthy moral education platform, so as to promote students growth healthier.

The new era of information as power and the field of Cyber Intelligence

This article seeks to describe the interference of cybernetics as a key intervening factor in the consolidation of information as a power resource in the 21st century. Aware that information is the main substrate for the practice of intelligence, the studies carried out also seek to understand the transformations generated by the inclusion of cyberspace in this practice, highlighting how the particular characteristics of this domain are responsible for generating new demands to States in terms of defense and security. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, this paper is structured into three main discussion topics. The first one will hold a brief discussion about the particular characteristics of this new domain and its political significance to International Relations. The second topic will deal directly with the issues of intelligence and an evaluation of the interference of cyberspace in the intelligence practice will be carried out focusing on the study of the North American - dedicating a third topic to such discussion.
