EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF INFOLOKER KAB.KARAWANG WEBSITE USING WEBQUAL 4.0 METHOD

Technology has provided new methods of presenting the information. Information can be easily accessed anywhere and anytime. One of the Regional Governments of Indonesia takes this advantage by creating an information system called InfoLoker Kab. Karawang to make it easier for citizens to find job vacancies. Of this importance, it interests researchers to conduct a study to evaluate the website’s quality based on the dimensions of the WebQual 4.0 method. WebQual is a method for measuring a website's quality based on the end user's point of view. The data source is taken from InfoLoker Kab. Karawang website users through a survey method with a sample of 118 respondents and data analysis using SmartPLS. According to the discussion results, the quality of the InfoLoker Kab. Karawang’s website was good, with ratings of 73.3%, 74.3%, and 62.2% for the dimensions of usability, information quality, and service interaction quality, accordingly. Overall user satisfaction is significantly impacted by the quality of the information and service interactions, but not by usability because usability’s t-value is under 0.96. However, the website's quality can still be improved, particularly in the service interaction dimension, by improving the security of the user's personal information because even though the service interaction quality dimension significantly influences user satisfaction, it has the lowest quality score

The Optimal Pricing in Blockchain-Enabled Enterprises Operation Considering Privacy Attitude and Privacy Protection

The traceability of Blockchain Technology (BT) has been implemented widely in many industries, but coupled with this fact is that more and more consumers focus on personal privacy information security. This paper mainly studies a BT-enabled operation system with customers’ privacy preferences and enterprises’ privacy protection. From the short-term perspective, we first investigate the impacts of different privacy attitudes from consumers on the optimal pricing and privacy protection decisions of enterprises in two scenarios with and without BT. Then, we give the conditions of enterprises adopting BT. Furthermore, from the long-term perspective, when privacy protection insurance is provided for risk-averse consumers, we also investigate the evolutionary stability strategies between enterprises and consumers using the evolutionary game theory. Finally, numerical analysis is adopted to verify the theoretical results and show that privacy protection and BT are important to the operation of enterprises and the purchasing behavior of consumers.

On the right to information as an element of personal information security

No sphere of life in modern society can function without a developed information structure. The national information resource is today one of the main sources of economic and military power of the state. Penetrating into all spheres of state activity, information acquires specific political, material and cost expressions. Today, anything carries some kind of information. Even elementary household appliances can be presented as a carrier of information — information about the principles of its design and operation. Modern Russia is at the stage of transition to a post-industrial economy and an information society. The success of this transition directly depends on the normal circulation of information and the optimization of social management. In the light of the social nature of society and a person, information freely circulating in society creates the prerequisites for creating a more developed society, at the expense of a more intellectually developed person. In this regard, it is advisable to talk about the need to organize the optimal provision of a citizen with a wide variety of information, meet the information needs of the individual and achieve the information openness of society. Legal access relations are one-sided, i.e. The rights of the consumer to receive information correspond to the obligations of the supplier to provide it. Enough questions arise in determining the characteristics that information must have in order to be considered usable. In modern Russian legislation, among others, the terms «completeness», «reliability», «objectivity», «distortion» appear, but the content of these categories has not been established. In this regard, it is advisable to talk about the need to organize the optimal provision of a citizen with a wide variety of information, meet the information needs of the individual and achieve the information openness of society.

Implementation of art therapy assisted by the internet of medical things based on blockchain and fuzzy set theory

This work aims to improve the stability and efficiency of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), strengthen the security and privacy of personal information, and create a healthy and safe network environment. First, art therapy in the current medical environment is discussed, and the security defenses of the IoMT supporting art therapy are studied. Then, a security defense method for IoMT is proposed by combining basic Blockchain knowledge with the Fuzzy Sets Theory. Specifically, a Density-awarded Fuzzy C-means (DFCM) algorithm is developed to solve the clustering issue of unbalanced data sets. Besides, the Fuzzy Support Vector Machine (FSVM) model is used to classify data points far from the sample center to increase classification accuracy. In the simulation experiment, the DFCM algorithm achieves a pleasing clustering effect on the four data sets, involving the data sets with density changes and imbalanced sample points within the cluster. Moreover, the combination of DFCM and FSVM (DFCM-FSVM) for attack detection in the Internet of Things (IoT) realizes the optimal accuracy in the detection of different behaviors compared with similar algorithms; the detection accuracy of normal behavior, scheduled attack, gray hole attack, and black hole attack is 99.8%, 89.8%, 99.4%, and 91.5%, respectively. This work creatively proposes a hybrid intrusion detection method based on fuzzy theory. As the second line of defense in security protection, it plays a critical role and is suitable for the network environment of the perception layer. In conclusion, the attack detection method based on Blockchain combined with the Fuzzy Sets Theory can precisely identify potential attacks in abnormal data, which has important practical value for maintaining data security and the regular operation of the IoMT.

User Testing of the Veteran Delegation Tool: Qualitative Inquiry

Informal caregivers, or care partners, provide critical support to care recipients when managing health care. Veterans Health Administration (VHA) priorities identify care partners as vital in supporting veterans' care management. The Veteran Delegation Tool (VDT) is VHA's Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant solution for care partners to comanage veterans' care through VHA's electronic health portal. Human-centered design approaches in VDT development are needed to inform enhancements aimed at promoting uptake and sustained use. The objective of this prospective descriptive quality improvement project was to use a human-centered design approach to examine VDT use perceptions and practical experiences. This project was conducted using a 4-phase approach: frame, discover, design, and deliver. The frame phase designed the protocol and prepared the VDT system for testing. This paper reports on the discover phase, which used semistructured and follow-up interviews and user testing to examine VDT's benefits, facilitators, and barriers. The discover phase data informed the design and deliver phases, which are underway. Veterans (24/54, 44%), care partners (21/54, 39%), and individuals who represented dual roles (9/54, 17%)-namely veteran care partner (4/54, 7%), veteran clinical provider (2/54, 4%), and care partner provider (3/54, 6%)-participated in semistructured interviews in the discover phase. A subsample of these participants (3/54, 6%) participated in the follow-up interviews and user testing. Analysis of the semistructured interviews indicated convergence on the respondents' perceptions of VDT's benefits, facilitators, and barriers and recommendations for improving VDT. The perceived benefits were authorized access, comanagement of care needs on the web, communication with the clinical team, access to resources, and ease of burden. Perceived barriers were nonrecognition of the benefits of VDT, technical literacy access issues, increased stress in or burden on care partners, and personal health information security. Participant experiences across 4 VDT activity domains were upgrade to My HealtheVet Premium account, registration, sign-in, and use. User testing demonstrated users' challenges to register, navigate, and use VDT. Findings informed VDT development enhancements and recommendations. Care partners need Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant access to electronic health portals to assist with care management. VDT is VHA's solution, allowing communication among delegates, veterans, and clinical care teams. Users value VDT's potential use and benefits, while access and navigation improvements to ensure uptake and sustained use are needed. Future efforts need to iteratively evaluate the human-centered phases, design and deliver, of VDT to target audiences. Continued efforts to understand and respond to care partners' needs are warranted.

A Hybrid AES with a Chaotic Map-Based Biometric Authentication Framework for IoT and Industry 4.0

The Internet of Things (IoT) is being applied in multiple domains, including smart homes and energy management. This work aims to tighten security in IoTs using fingerprint authentications and avoid unauthorized access to systems for safeguarding user privacy. Captured fingerprints can jeopardize the security and privacy of personal information. To solve privacy- and security-related problems in IoT-based environments, Biometric Authentication Frameworks (BAFs) are proposed to enable authentications in IoTs coupled with fingerprint authentications on edge consumer devices and to ensure biometric security in transmissions and databases. The Honeywell Advanced Encryption Security-Cryptography Measure (HAES-CM) scheme combined with Hybrid Advanced Encryption Standards with Chaotic Map Encryptions is proposed. BAFs enable private and secure communications between Industry 4.0’s edge devices and IoT. This work’s suggested scheme’s evaluations with other encryption methods reveal that the suggested HAES-CM encryption strategy outperforms others in terms of processing speeds.

Evaluating an E-Government Stage Model by Using SOAR-AHP Process

E-government is a key component of today's efforts to give citizens improved services. As a result, participation of the general public in government policy is essential to assuring the success of e-government. Thus, when developing any e-government model, the security of personal information must be taken into account. According to earlier research, the developing countries are suffering from implementing e-government to provide e-services for their citizens. They also indicate that the biggest obstacles to implementing e-government in such countries are security and privacy. This study attempts to assess e-government stage model via using SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This is a new and reliable technique for evaluating e-government prior implementing. The AHP is combined with the SOAR analysis in this study's approach to analyze the phases and assess the model's viability. The study's findings demonstrate that the model is workable and appropriate for adoption.

Online national citizen's ID renewal system

Through the National Registration Bureau (NRB), the Malawi government introduced mandatory registration and the issuance of National Identity Cards (IDs) to its bona fide Malawian citizens aged 16 and above, in accordance with the Registration Act of 2010. This administration is currently carried out manually in a few designated National Registration Bureau (NRB) offices. As a result, citizens find it time-consuming and congested to renew their IDs in case of loss, damage, or expiration. Due to these drawbacks, there was a need for a new system that could help overcome these challenges, leading to the proposition of an "Online National Citizen's ID Renewal System. The system is aimed at simplifying the process of renewing national ID cards for Malawian citizens in a convenient and secure manner. Through the web portal provided by the system, citizens are able to complete the renewal process in one sitting without being required to physically visit the National Registration Bureau offices (NRB). The functionality of the system requires citizens to create an account, wherein their names and their previous ID numbers are used as usernames and passwords, respectively, or credentials to log in to the system. Once the information has been verified, citizens would be able to access renewal or registration forms (which are currently collected, filled, and submitted manually) and pay the relevant renewal fee, which is currently at MWK2500, through secure payment gateways. To ensure the security and privacy of the citizens' personal information, the system is implementing industry-standard encryption and authentication protocols and is complying with data protection laws and regulations mandated by the Malawi Government. The online national Citizens ID renewal system will provide a more efficient, accessible, and secure system for managing citizen ID renewals. It has also reduced waiting times, improved accuracy, and increased accessibility for all citizens, while also providing better security and efficiency for government staff managing the system. The Online National Citizen's ID Renewal System is expected to improve the current manual ID renewal system, which poses several challenges and limitations, such as long waiting times, errors, inaccuracies, and inefficiency.

Analysis of vulnerability factors of WEB 3.0 technology

The article is devoted to critical aspects during the implementation of Web-3.0 technology. The task is set: based on the analysis of the implementation of Web-3.0 technology to solve a number of tasks, namely: blockchain-based decentralization; creation of general accessibility; increasing trust in sites; increasing the security of personal information from hackers; ensuring true ownership of authors' information; lack of censorship; improvement of social interaction; use of the Internet of Things is compatible with virtual or augmented reality; application of artificial intelligence – consider a zero-day exploit for Web-3.0. A zero-day exploit indicates that the vendor or developer has just become aware of the vulnerability and has "zero days" to fix it. A zero-day attack occurs as a result of attackers exploiting a vulnerability (critical points) before the developers managed to fix it. To solve this problem in the article: a description of the main differences between the Web-3.0 construction architecture and Web-2.0 is made; the analysis of the tasks of Oprah Winfrey Network of the Web-3.0 architecture was carried out; consider the possibilities of: external interface (design and interface of web applications), server part (based on decentralized technologies, primarily dApp, which uses the advantages of blockchain: transparency, reliability and immutability of data.), database (stores data about users, their messages , tags and comments); an analysis of possible threats and vulnerabilities due to the introduction of Web-3.0 technology before the start of the zero-day exploit was performed. Based on the performed analysis, the following conclusions are drawn: that the vulnerability is related to scalability, limited transaction throughput and computing power, security, complexity, compatibility; that Web-3.0 creates many conditions that can be useful to people, but the introduction of new Web-3.0 capabilities leads to the emergence of new threats or vulnerabilities that can be used by attackers to harm people. This requires considering the possible impact of threats, identifying possible vulnerabilities in Web-3.0 technology before the start of a zero-day exploit, that is, it requires the need to investigate the possibility of the appearance of new vulnerabilities.

Secure cloud internet of vehicles based on blockchain and data transmission scheme of map/reduce

Over the past few years, because of the popularity of the Internet of vehicles and cloud computing, the exchange of group information between vehicles is no longer out of reach. Through WiFi/5G wireless communication protocol, vehicles can instantly deliver traffic conditions and accidents to the back end or group vehicles traveling together, which can reduce traffic congestion and accidents. In addition, vehicles transmit real-time road conditions to the cloud vehicle management center, which can also share real-time road conditions and improve the road efficiency for pedestrians and drivers. However, the transmission of information in an open environment raises the issue of personal information security. Most of the security mechanisms provided by the existing Internet of vehicles require centralized authentication servers, which increase the burden of certificate management and computing. Moreover, the road side unit as a decentralized authentication center may be open to hacking or modification, but due to personal privacy and security concerns, vehicle-to-vehicle is not willing to share information with each other. Therefore, this study is conducted through blockchain to ensure the security of vehicle-based information transmission. Moreover, the elliptic curve Diffie?Hellman (ECDH) key exchange protocol and a secure conference key mechanism with direct user confirmation combined with the back-end cloud platform Map/Reduce is proposed to ensure the identities of Mappers and Reducers that participate in the cloud operation, avoid malicious participants to modify the transmission information, so as to achieve secure Map/Reduce operations, and improves vehicle and passenger traffic safety.
