for many years, assessment of olive oil quality and itsauthenticity confimation has been of great importanceto guarantee olive oil safety in compliance with legislations. these include the investigation of olive oil purityand quality by analyzing several parameters such as fattyacid composition, sterols, phenolic compounds, triacylglycerol and etc, through performing conventional andadvanced hy...

Macromolecular mass fingerprinting using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight spectrometry is a quick tool for biochemical analysis. In combination with algorithms automated data analysis and interpretation, it has wide application potentials in life science, especially diagnostic purposes. This review aims to illustrate recent advances of this analytical tool, focusing on...

Tracking the source of impersonation attacks is a difficult challenge for investigators. The attacks are frequently launched from botnets comprised of infected, innocent users and web servers compromised by malware. Current investigative techniques focus on tracking these components. In this paper, we propose the Automated Impersonator Image Identification System (AIIIS), which allows investiga...

In recent years, there have been many works that use website fingerprinting techniques to enable a local adversary to determine which website a Tor user is visiting. However, most of these works rely on manually extracted features, and thus are fragile: a small change in the protocol or a simple defense often renders these attacks useless. In this work, we leverage deep learning techniques to c...

The genetic diversity of Trichodesmium spp. from natural populations (off Bermuda in the Sargasso Sea and off North Australia in the Arafura and Coral Seas) and of culture isolates from two regions (Sargasso Sea and Indian Ocean) was investigated. Three independent techniques were used, including a DNA fingerprinting method based on a highly iterated palindrome (HIP1), denaturing gradient gel e...

In fingerprinting, a signature, unique to each user, is embedded in each distributed copy of a multimedia content, in order to identify potential illegal redistributors. This paper investigates digital fingerprinting problems involving millions of users and a handful of colluders. In such problems the rate of the fingerprinting code is often well below fingerprinting capacity, and the use of co...

In this chapter, a cross-layer based intrusion detection technique for wireless networks is proposed. The proposed technique uses a combined weight value that is computed from the received signal strength (RSS) and time taken for RTS-CTS Handshake (TT). 3.1 Introduction The rapid proliferation of wireless local area networks has changed the landscape of network security. The traditional way of ...

Digital fingerprinting of multimedia data involves embedding information in the content signal and offers protection to the digital rights of the content by allowing illegitimate usage of the content to be identified by authorized parties. One potential threat to fingerprinting is collusion, whereby a group of adversaries combine their individual copies in an attempt to remove the underlying fi...
