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.

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.

An Efficient Environmental Channel Modelling in 802.11p MAC Protocol for V2I

10.11591/ijeecs.v7.i2.pp404-414
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.

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1994-2001
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.

Active Distribution Grid Power Flow Analysis using Asymmetrical Hybrid Technique

10.11591/ijece.v7i4.pp1738-1748
Paramet Wirasanti , Egon Ortjohann
A conventional distribution power flow analysis has to be improved regards the changes in distribution network. One of the changes is a grid operation because a new grid concept, e.g. micro-grid and aggregation, is aimed to be operated based on area itself. Consequently, each area can be actively operated in either grid connected mode or islanding mode. Hence, this paper proposes an asymmetrical power flow analysis using hybrid technique to support this flexible mode change. The hybrid technique offers an opportunity to analyze power flow in a decoupling way. This means that the power flow analysis can be performed separately in each grid area. Regards the distributed generation, this paper also introduces a model based on inverter-based operation, i.e. grid forming, grid supporting and grid parallel. The proposed asymmetrical hybrid load flow method is examined in three case studies, i.e. a verification study with the DIgSILENT PowerFactory, a demonstration of decoupling analysis approach and a performance study with the Newton-Raphson method.

The micro-accelerometers are devices used to measure acceleration. They are implemented in applications such as tilt-control in spacecraft, inertial navigation, oil exploration, etc. These applications require high operating frequency and displacement sensitivity. But getting both high parameter values at the same time is difficult, because there are physical relationships, for each one, where the mass is involved. When the mass is reduced, the operating frequency is high, but the displacement sensitivity decreases and vice versa. The implementation of Displacement-amplifying Compliant Mechanism (DaCM) supports to this dependence decreases. In this paper the displacement sensitivity and operation frequency of a Conventional Capacitive Accelerometer are shown (CCA). A Capacitive Accelerometer with Extended Beams (CAEB) is also presented, which improves displacement sensitivity compared with CCA, and finally the implementation of DACM´s in the aforementioned devices was also carried out. All analyzed cases were developed considering the in-plane mode. The Matlab code used to calculate displacement sensitivity and operating frequency relationship is given in Appendix A.
