Development of a low-cost smart vehicle start up and tracking system using Android and Arduino

Smart devices are being utilised in industries to enhance their productivity and security. In this paper, we have developed a low-cost vehicle monitoring system using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and GSM module. The primary purpose of this research was to develop a low-cost system to start and track an automobile by integrating with GSM module. GPS and GSM modules were integrated with Arduino UNO microcontroller as a processor and controller for the whole system. An Android application was developed to communicate with the Arduino module and get the instruction from the user. The user can use the Android application to start their vehicle and track the vehicle. Locking and unlocking actions were programmed into the application for the vehicle's security purpose. The system could send the location information to the user's email address as part of the security feature. The system was successfully developed and tested in multiple real-time scenarios.

Hierarchical ID-based Encryption with Minimized Key Escrow

Identity-based cryptography is a public key cryptosystem in which any arbitrary string such as identity, email address of user can be used as a public key and the corresponding private key is generated by a private key generator (PKG) and given to the user through a secure channel[1][2]. It has advantage in key distribution, but also has drawback of key escrow that PKG knows user’s private key. If multiple PKGs with independent certification domain are used and users belong to different PKGs, it was considered that expanding certification using only ID-based cryptography is difficult between two users who belong to different PKG domains. Gentry and Silverberg[3] presented a hierarchical identity based cryptography which successfully expands certification among multiple PKGs structured in hierarchical manner, thus lots of extended researches followed from it [4-10]. But this scheme has a drawback that all ancestor PKGs of a user can decrypt any message sent to the user even though they do not have the private key of the user, which is very undesirable feature. In this paper we modify Gentry and Silverberg’s hierarchical identity based encryption (HIBE) scheme and present a new HIBE scheme which minimize the key escrow property 접수일(2015년10월27일), 심사의뢰일(2015년10월28일), 심사완료일(1차:2015년11월02일, 2차:2015년11월28일) 게재확정일(2015년12월07일), 게재일(2015년12월31일) 312-702 충청남도 금산군 추부면 마전리 중부대학교 정보보호학과. email: sultan@jbm.ac.kr 키에스크로를 최소화한 계층적 아이디기반 암호 Copyright c 2015 SERSC 546 that only user and the end PKG who issued private key to the user can decrypt message.

Hackers can see your dating pics and chat

Raymond Choo and his colleagues at the University of South Australia In Adelaide have shown that it is easy to hack into popular dating apps like Tinder and Grindr to reveal private data. They used a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone to create fake profiles on eight of the most popular dating apps in the Google Play store and then tried to steal data. They did this by capturing the phone's network traffic and trawling the apps' private directories on the phone. All the apps had security flaws. On Tinder, for example, the group pulled up images of the profiles the person had viewed, and records of whether they were a match. On gay hook-up app Grindr, the team accessed data about people the user had checked out including dates of birth, their distance from the user on last viewing and a database of sent and received messages, as well as the user's email address

New identity-based key-encapsulation mechanism and its applications in cloud computing

Identity-based encryption IBE is an important primitive of identity-based cryptography. As such, it is a type of public-key encryption in which the public key of a user is some unique information about the identity of the user e.g., a user's e-mail address. As a special form of IBE, identity-based key encapsulation mechanism IB-KEM can be used to create a random session key for encrypting messages. Any IB-KEM can be updated to a full IBE scheme by adding a symmetric encryption scheme with appropriate security properties. Currently, IB-KEM is a fundamental primitive of cryptography, and can be used to protect information system security, network security, cloud security, etc. In this paper, we construct a new IB-KEM in a generic levelled multilinear map setting and prove its security under multilinear decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption in the selective-ID model. Then, we make our IB-KEM translated to the GGH framework, which is proposed by Garg et al. 2013a. This framework defines an approximate version of a multilinear group family from ideal lattices. Finally, as an application of our new scheme, we introduce how to achieve secure transmission in the hierarchical architecture for cloud computing HACC.

Potentials 'R'Us web-server for protein energy estimations with coarse-grained knowledge-based potentials

BackgroundKnowledge-based potentials have been widely used in the last 20 years for fold recognition, protein structure prediction from amino acid sequence, ligand binding, protein design, and many other purposes. However generally these are not readily accessible online.ResultsOur new knowledge-based potential server makes available many of these potentials for easy use to automatically compute the energies of protein structures or models supplied. Our web server for protein energy estimation uses four-body potentials, short-range potentials, and 23 different two-body potentials. Users can select potentials according to their needs and preferences. Files containing the coordinates of protein atoms in the PDB format can be uploaded as input. The results will be returned to the user's email address.ConclusionsOur Potentials 'R'Us server is an easily accessible, freely available tool with a web interface that collects all existing and future protein coarse-grained potentials and computes energies of multiple structural models.

Worm Propagation and Generic Attacks

The defining task of propagating malicious code is to locate new targets to attack. Viruses search for files in a computer system to which to attach, whereas worms search for new targets to which to transmit themselves. Depending on their method of transmission, malicious code writers have developed different strategies for finding new victims. Worms transmitted via email have had great success propagating themselves because they find their next targets either by raiding a user's email address book or by searching through the user's mailbox. Such addresses are almost certain to be valid, permitting the worm to hijack the user's social web and exploit trust relationships. In most cases, the worm will craft its own message to send to the target, but some will wait for the user to send a message and attach themselves to it. Network worms, those that attack network services, must determine their next victim's IP address.
