HyperIO: A Hypervisor-Based Framework for Secure IO

Malware often attempts to steal input and output through human interface devices to obtain confidential information. We propose to use a thin hypervisor, called “HyperIO”, to realize a secure path between input and output devices using a partial implementation of device drivers. We apply our approach using two security systems built on HyperIO: FireSafe and ClipCrypt. FireSafe is a web browser extension which allows a remote web server to display and receive sensitive user information securely. ClipCrypt enables the user to securely enter and view their confidential information in commodity Windows applications.

Secure and Light Weight Elliptic Curve Cipher Suites in SSL/TLS

In the current circumstance, e-commerce through an online banking system plays a significant role. Customers may either buy goods from E-Commerce websites or use online banking to move money to other accounts. When a user participates in these types of behaviors, their sensitive information is sent to an untrustworthy network. As a consequence, when transmitting data from an internal browser to an external E-commerce web server using the cryptographic protocol SSL/TLS, the E-commerce web server ensures the security of the user’s data. The user should be pleased with the confidentiality, authentication, and authenticity properties of the SSL/TLS on both the user’s web browser and the remote E-commerce web server. E-Commerce web servers should choose the best SSL/TLS cipher suites for negotiating the user in order to attain such optimistic scenarios, as the cipher suite used in SSL/TLS plays an important role in securing E-Commerce web servers. The paper primarily focuses on analyzing the SSL/TLS cipher and elliptic curves. The paper also recommends the best elliptic curve cipher suites for E-Commerce and online banking servers, based on their power consumption, handshake execution time, and key exchange and signature verification time.

Novel Current Unbalance Estimation and Diagnosis Algorithms for Condition Monitoring With Wireless Sensor Network and Internet of Things Gateway

This article presents two novel algorithms for the estimation and diagnosis of the current unbalance factor (CUF) for three-phase power systems from single period of three-phase acquired data samples. The CUF is evaluated by an algorithm named circular phase shift (CPS), and the three-phase parameters are estimated by a circular cross-correlation (CCC) algorithm for unbalance diagnosis. The estimated CUF along with multisensory data is transmitted and monitored through a remote web server for diagnosis and detection of incipient three-phase power systems faults including three-phase machines. The CPS algorithm estimation has an accuracy that exceeds 95% for CUF values exceeding 5%. The CCC time-complexity and the Cramer–Rao Lower Bound analysis are presented for performance evaluation. The CCC algorithm outperforms the IEEE-Standard-1057 estimation method in both phase accuracy and processing memory requirements compatible with low-cost microcontrollers. Experimental results on condition monitoring of industrial induction machines (1.5 to 7.5 KW) are also presented with custom designed 2.4-GHz wireless sensor network and an IEEE 802.11 Internet of Things gateway with multisensory data which carries out the effectiveness of the system.

Remote Patient Health and Medicine Monitoring by Data Logging using IOT

Considering the day by day rapid increase in the population of the world, providing appropriate healthcare to elderly or unwell people becomes a crucial issue and needs high attention from mainly medical, also industrial and academic fields of the society. Nowadays on the Internet of Things (IoT), there is extensive research on finding the solution for improving the quality of life of the people. In this Project we are presenting a prototype of a health monitoring system which is based on IoT and makes use of wearable sensors, thereby providing remote and continuous monitoring of a patient’s health. The system continuously monitors the patient’s heartbeat, temperature and medicines consumed, by using a web application. Various sensors will be used such as heartbeat sensor and temperature sensor for patients as well as load sensor to get data about how many medicines patient have and when to refill the medicine box. Based on the values acquired from temperature and heartbeat sensor predictions are given about the patient’s condition. All sensors will be communicating with an application through a remote web server where all data will be hosted using IoT protocols.

An Efficient Web Authentication Mechanism Preventing Man-In-The-Middle Attacks in Industry 4.0 Supply Chain

The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is transforming the next generation of the supply chain by making it more agile and efficient compared with the traditional supply chain. However, data communication across the partners in the Industry 4.0 supply chain can be the target of a wide spectrum of attackers exploiting security breaches in the internal/external environment of the partners due to its heterogeneous and dynamic nature as well as the fact that the non-professional users in security issues usually operate their information systems. Attackers can compromise the data communication between legitimate parties in the Industry 4.0 Supply Chain, and thus, jeopardizing the delivery of services across the partners as well as the continuity of the service provision. Consequently, secure data communications across the partners in the Industry 4.0 Supply Chain are of utmost importance. Toward this direction, TLS protocol, which is the de facto standard for secure Internet communications, is employed to ensure secure communication between a user’s web browser and a remote web server located in the premises of the same or another partner. However, over the last few years, there have been several serious attacks on TLS, including man-in-the-middle attacks in web applications using TLS to secure HTTP communication. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient TLS-based authentication mechanism, which is resistant against MITM in web applications.

Real-Time Autonomous System for Structural and Environmental Monitoring of Dynamic Events

This paper deals with the definition and analysis of a complete electronic system for the detection and monitoring of stability characteristics in complex scenarios such as structural elements or environmental events. For instance, it may be successfully adopted to detect rockfall events on protection barriers, as well as to monitor landslides or the integrity of structures like bridges and buildings.

The continuously collected data are relative to acceleration, inclination, position, and temperature of each node. These data are transmitted and stored on a remote web server devoted to the automatic management of alarms and accessible for data consulting. The proposed system is currently operating in different experimental fields in Italy.

MST 알고리즘 기반 콘텐츠 전송 네트워크에 관한 연구

The traffic in the wired and wireless networks has increased exponentially because of increase of smart phone and improvement of PC performance. Multimedia services and file transmission such as Facebook, Youtube occupy a large part of the traffic. CDN is a technique that duplicates the contents on a remote web server of content provider to local CDN servers near clients and chooses the optimal CDN server for providing the content to the client in the event of a content request. In this paper, the content request message between CDN servers and the client used the SCRP algorithm utilizing the MST algorithm and the traffic throughput was optimized. The average response time for the content request is reduced by employing HC_LRU cache algorithm that improves the cache hit ratio. The proposed SCRP and HC_LRU algorithm may build a scalable content delivery network system that efficiently utilizes network resources, achieves traffic localization and prevents bottlenecks.

IEEE 1073 Standard implementation to manage and storage corporal variables using mobile devices

The IEEE 1073 Standard seeks to regulate the processes of communication between medical devices and external computer systems. Such devices have reduced processing capacity, as is the case of patient care units used in ambulatory state or at home. This paper shows the IEEE 1073 standard concepts application in a medical device that monitors positions and detects abrupt falls of a person. The parameters are applied in all possible extensions within a communication environment between a cell phone that receives posture and falls signals from the medical device and transmits these to a remote web server in which the information is displayed graphically for analysis by multiple users (doctor, nurse , patient). The implementation shows that the rule is easily applied in the communication process for low-capacity devices (Cell phones that support J2ME or Android java applications) that can not support other standards such as DICOM or HL7 . However, some of its concepts are too complex to be included in simple items such as a microcontroller

Implementation of a GPRS based remote water quality analysis instrumentation

This paper presents the design, implementation and testing of an experimental GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) based integrated virtual instrumentation destined for water quality evaluation. The proposed system was developed for measurement conditions specific to Timişoara city, located in the western region of Romania, but can be easily adapted to other requirements. Individual sensors which respond to Chloride (Cl−), Copper (Cu++) and Nitrates (NO3−) are sampled by a MSP430FG4618 microcontroller. Resulting data is transmitted to a remote Web Server using the Cinterion MC55iT GSM/GPRS terminal. A software program developed in National Instruments’ LabVIEW presents analysis results and conclusions. In addition, web dissemination of water quality parameters is available by means of a WQA Map (Water Quality Analysis Map). An interesting feature of the instrumentation allows the use of a mobile device for viewing results, receiving text warnings via SMS (Short Message Service) and controlling the monitoring process. Functionality tests performed over several weeks confirm that this system was properly designed and implemented. Comparison with conventional methods of water quality analysis confirms the accuracy of the calculations obtained when operating the proposed system.

TCP Congestion Avoidance Algorithm Identification

The Internet has recently been evolving from homogeneous congestion control to heterogeneous congestion control. Several years ago, Internet traffic was mainly controlled by the traditional RENO, whereas it is now controlled by multiple different TCP algorithms, such as RENO, CUBIC, and Compound TCP (CTCP). However, there is very little work on the performance and stability study of the Internet with heterogeneous congestion control. One fundamental reason is the lack of the deployment information of different TCP algorithms. In this paper, we first propose a tool called TCP Congestion Avoidance Algorithm Identification (CAAI) for actively identifying the TCP algorithm of a remote Web server. CAAI can identify all default TCP algorithms (e.g., RENO, CUBIC, and CTCP) and most non-default TCP algorithms of major operating system families. We then present the CAAI measurement result of about 30 000 Web servers. We found that only 3.31%-14.47% of the Web servers still use RENO, 46.92% of the Web servers use BIC or CUBIC, and 14.5%-25.66% of the Web servers use CTCP. Our measurement results show a strong sign that the majority of TCP flows are not controlled by RENO anymore, and a strong sign that the Internet congestion control has changed from homogeneous to heterogeneous.

Automated Ingestion Detection for a Health Monitoring System

Obesity is a global epidemic that imposes a financial burden and increased risk for a myriad of chronic diseases. Presented here is an overview of a prototype automated ingestion detection (AID) process implemented in a health monitoring system (HMS). The automated detection of ingestion supports personal record keeping which is essential during obesity management. Personal record keeping allows the care provider to monitor the therapeutic progress of a patient. The AID-HMS determines the levels of ingestion activity from sounds captured by an external throat microphone. Features are extracted from the sound recording and presented to machine learning classifiers, where a simple voting procedure is employed to determine instances of ingestion. Using a dataset acquired from seven individuals consisting of consumption of liquid and solid, speech, and miscellaneous sounds, > 94% of ingestion sounds are correctly identified with false positive rates around 9% based on 10-fold cross validation. The detected levels of ingestion activity are transmitted and stored on a remote web server, where information is displayed through a web application operating in a web browser. This information allows remote users (health provider) determine meal lengths and levels of ingestion activity during the meal. The AID-HMS also provides a basis for automated reinforcement for the patient.

Dynamic Interactive Educational Diabetes Simulations Using the World Wide Web: An Experience of More Than 15 Years with AIDA Online

Background. AIDA is a widely available downloadable educational simulator of glucose-insulin interaction in diabetes. Methods. A web-based version of AIDA was developed that utilises a server-based architecture with HTML FORM commands to submit numerical data from a web-browser client to a remote web server. AIDA online, located on a remote server, passes the received data through Perl scripts which interactively produce 24 hr insulin and glucose simulations. Results. AIDA online allows users to modify the insulin regimen and diet of 40 different prestored “virtual diabetic patients” on the internet or create new “patients” with user-generated regimens. Multiple simulations can be run, with graphical results viewed via a standard web-browser window. To date, over 637,500 diabetes simulations have been run at AIDA online, from all over the world. Conclusions. AIDA online's functionality is similar to the downloadable AIDA program, but the mode of implementation and usage is different. An advantage to utilising a server-based application is the flexibility that can be offered. New modules can be added quickly to the online simulator. This has facilitated the development of refinements to AIDA online, which have instantaneously become available around the world, with no further local downloads or installations being required.
