In 1972, the NBS Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology (ICST) initiated a project in computer security, a subject then in its infancy. One of the first goals of the project was to develop a cryptographic algorithm standard that could be used to protect sensitive and valuable data during transmission and in storage. Prior to this NBS initiative, encryption had been largely the concern o...

Drone-based surveillance has become widespread due to its flexibility and ability access hazardous areas, particularly in industrial complexes. As digital camera capabilities improve, more visual information can be stored high-resolution images, resulting larger image sizes. Therefore, algorithms for encrypting images sent from drones must both secure highly efficient. This paper presents a nov...

Nowadays, users of information systems have inclination to use a central server to decrease data transferring and maintenance costs. Since such a system is not so trustworthy, users' data usually upkeeps encrypted. However, encryption is not a nostrum for security problems and cannot guarantee the data security. In other words, there are some techniques that can endanger security of encrypted d...

A Cloud data storage system consists of collection of storage servers over the internet which provides long term storage services. The data stored in a third party’s cloud system may cause serious concern over data confidentiality. To keep sensitive user data confidential against un-trusted servers and to provide security, access control in cloud there are some cryptographic techniques speciall...
