Qualitative Analysis of Recognition-based Graphical Password Authentication Schemes for Accessing the Cloud

10.11591/ijeecs.v7.i2.pp507-513
K Gangadhara Rao , Vijayakumari Rodda , B Basaveswara Rao
Cloud computing is increasingly becoming popular as many enterprise applications and data are moving into cloud platforms. However, a major barrier for cloud application is real and perceived lack of security. There are many security mechanisms exercised to utilize cloud services. Amongst them the prominent and primitive security mechanism is the Authentication System. Traditional text based passwords are susceptible to threats. Tough passwords are hard to recall and easily recalled passwords are simple and predictable. Graphical passwords are introduced as the better alternative. Two types of graphical passwords are there – recall based and recognition based. This research reviews several Recognition-Based Graphical Password methods and analyses their security based on the estimation criteria. Moreover, the research defines a metric called a 14-point scale that would make it possible for the qualitative analysis of the graphical passwords schemes.

New Optimization Method of the MPPT Algorithm and Balancing Voltage Control of the Three-Level Boost Converter (TLBC)

10.11591/ijape.v6.i2.pp113-122
Hassan Abouobaida , Said El Bied
This paper is dedicated to studying the control of the Three Level Boost Converters (TLBC) and the optimization method of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) based a variable step. The main objective of the optimization is to find a compromise between the response time and the amplitude of the oscillations around the optimal point. The nonlinear behavior of the TLBC is manifested by the presence of the disturbances. For reasons of simplicity of the control, a linearization based on the dynamic compensation of the disturbance is proposed. On the one hand, a cascaded MPPT algorithm and a simple linear regulator allow adjusting the inductance current and a maximum power operation of the wind system. On the other hand, a second linear regulator ensures balancing of the output voltages. The paper proposes a new approach to the optimization of the Inc-Cond MPPT. The suggested contribution consists of using an exponential function of the power derivative to develop a variable step. The adoption of the variable step size according to the dynamics of the wind system implies a compromise between the response time and the amplitude of the ripples around the optimal point. The simulation results showed that a variable step size, especially in transient conditions and during a very rapid climate change recover the optimum power point within a reasonable time and suitable amplitude of the oscillations. The results achieved in this study show the ability of the proposed approach to extract the maximum power according to the available wind speed while guaranteeing a better efficiency. The developed study is summarized by the following points: (a) modeling the wind conversion systems, (b) detailing the control approach of the TLBC and presenting the variable step method (c) presenting the simulations results and evaluating the perf.

Mirza Saric
Use of renewable energy sources for the purposes of electricity generation is increasing throughout the world. Connection of new generators, however, introduces significant challenges to power network operators and managers. The power system transient stability is affected by the grid connection of new generation units. The objective of this paper is to investigate asynchronous generator dynamic response issues and capabilities under three phase symmetrical fault conditions and to propose a methodological approach to designing a generator transient stability solutions. Analysis and methodology are introduced through a realistic generator connection example. Simulations show that power system stability can be significantly affected by the connection of new generators and that this phenomena needs to be carefully considered during the connection planning process. This paper is a part of an ongoing research on the distributed generation impact on power network and its aim is to provide two main contributions to the existing body of knowledge. Firstly, it is expected that this paper will contribute toward a better understanding of the influence that generators have on the power system transient stability. Secondly, this paper is expected to contribute towards the practical understanding of fundamental power system transient stability improvement solutions.

Neelambike S , Chandrika J
Recent development in communication of wireless communication for automobile industry have aided the growth of SITS (Smart Intelligent Transport System) which solves numerous vehicular based communication service concerns like traffic congestion, accidental mishap etc. VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) a characteristic class of MANET (Mobile ad-hoc Network) which is a fundamental element of SITS in which the moving vehicles inter connected and communicates with each other remotely. Wireless technologies play an important part in assisting both Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) correspondence in VANET. The existing scheduling technique does not consider the environmental factor which affects the throughput performance and increases packet drop rate which result in degradation of service quality. Here in this work the author propose a RHU (Rural, Highway and Urban) environment model considering the environmental factor. The efficient environmental model algorithm is incorporated into slotted aloha in IEEE 802.11p MAC protocols which aided as a spine for assisting both safety application and non-Safety applications. Experiments are conducted for collision and throughput efficiency for varied traffic load and speed of vehicle. The experimental result shows the proposed environmental model impact on collision and throughput efficiency for varied environment and thus helps improving QoS for VANET application.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks in Presence of Black Hole Attack

10.11591/ijeecs.v7.i2.pp577-582
Anshu Prakash Murdan , Anshuman Bhowon
This paper analyses three performance metrics namely average throughput, average network load and average video conferencing packet end-to-end delays under the influence of black hole attack in a Mobile Ad Hoc Network, using the ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing protocol. The simulation was carried out on Riverbed Modeler Academic Edition software. Simulation results show that the average throughput, average network load and average video conferencing packet end-to-end delay decreases as the number of black hole attack nodes is increased. Also, the effects of the influence of black hole attack nodes tend to decrease due to mobility of the nodes. It was observed that when the destination nodes move closer to the source nodes and get in to the latter’s transmission range, the effects of the black hole attack is greatly minimized.

Siham Hafidi , Mohamed Baslam , Rachid El Ayachi
In recent years, on the Internet, there is a real phenomenon: the development of social networks that are becoming more popular and more used. Social networks have millions of users worldwide. This provides an opportunity for companies to reach out a large and diverse audience for their advertising campaigns. They do this by creating and spreading content across the social network, which will increase the chance of visibility for their contents, which for them is the assurance of being popular. Every content requires time to reach a specific destination on the networks. In this article, we study competition between several contents that look for attracting more consultations, each characterized by some given popularity. There is competition between the contents of a limited set of destinations. We first model our system, we then study the competition between contents by using the game theory to analyze this behavior. We finally provide numerical results, which provide insights into the effect of various parameters of the system.

Harry Septanto , Djoko Suprijanto
In the design of attitude control, rotational motion of the spacecraft is usually considered as a rotation of rigid body. Rotation matrix parameterization using quaternion can represent globally attitude of a rigid body rotational motions. However, the representation is not unique hence implies difficulties on the stability guarantee. This paper presents asymptotically stable analysis of a continuous scheme of quaternion-based control system that has saturation function. Simulations run show that the designed system applicable for a zero initial angular velocity case and a non-zero initial angular velocity case due to utilization of deadzone function as an element of the defined constraint in the stability analysis.
