Exceptional characteristics of Cloud computing has replaced all traditional computing. With reduced resource management and without in-advance investment, it has been victorious in making the IT world to migrate towards it. Microsoft announced its office package as Cloud, which can prevent people moving from Windows to Linux. As this drift is escalating in an exponential rate, the cloud environ...

The uses and capabilities of rogue USB hardware implants for use in cyber espionage activities is still very much an unknown quantity in the industry. Security professionals would benefit from tools capable of exploring the threat landscape while increasing awareness and countermeasures in this area. BadUSB 2.0 or BadUSB2 is such an investigative tool capable of compromising USB fixed-line comm...

Traditionally, emulation systems have been unnecessarily written and compiled for specific computer architectures. Therefore, emulations cannot easily be ported to other computing platforms. This paper proposes a portable emulation system, where the dependencies on particular host architectures are minimised by developing the emulation runtime, in the portable environment Java. Using this syste...

One of the primary issues of information technology and communication is the security of information from unwanted frauds. For every transaction over insecure channel authentication is required. Since the rise of the Internet smart card authentication schemes have been widely used to avoid the problems related to traditional password based authentication schemes. However, most of the smart card...

Novel applications of formal modelling such as systems biology have highlighted the need to extend formal analysis techniques to domains with pervasive parametric uncertainty. Consequently, machine learning methods for parameter synthesis and uncertainty quantification are playing an increasingly significant role in quantitative formal modelling. In this paper, we introduce a toolbox for parame...

One of the significant requirements for testing a software implementation of an inter-AS DDoS countermeasure is to measure the performance of the implementation in a large scale topology with typical DDoS tools and traffic. Ideally, an emulated inter-AS topology with same scale of the real Internet will provide similar characteristics of the real Internet if the same number of physical servers ...

The main objectives of the EMIST DDoS group is to advance the state of the art in rigorous evaluation of distributed denial of service attack-defense scenarios in the Internet. Over the last three years, we have developed an evaluation methodology using a combination of simulation, emulation, modeling, and analysis techniques that allows independent comparison of different DDoS defense systems....

Kim and Chung (2009) found that Yoon and Yoo’s scheme (2005) easily reveals a user’s password and is susceptible to masquerading user attack, masquerading server attack and stolen verifier attack. Therefore, Kim and Chung proposed a new remote user authentication scheme. They claimed that the proposed scheme resolves all aforementioned security flaws, while keeping the merits of Yoon and Yoo’s ...
