  • Computer virus is one of the most common information security problems in the information age. This study investigates the difference of users' perception of security elements between large companies and small-and-medium companies on the subject of computer virus. Based on t-test, no significant difference is found in users' perception on security threat and security risk While users satisfy with the level of security policy, there is a significant difference on the level of security policy recognition between the two sizes of companies. Moreover, there are significant differences on information assets, security vulnerability and security effectiveness, which implies difference in the users' perception on importance of assets, exposure to threats and computer virus prevention efforts between large and small-and-medium companies.

  • The security of data and information using encryption algorithms is becoming increasingly important in today's world of digital data transmission over unsecured wired and wireless communication channels. Hybrid encryption techniques combine both symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods and provide more security than public or private key encryption models. Currently, there are many techniques on the market that use a combination of cryptographic algorithms and claim to provide higher data security. Many hybrid algorithms have failed to satisfy customers in securing data and cannot prevent all types of security threats. To improve the security of digital data, it is essential to develop novel and resilient security systems as it is inevitable in the digital era. The proposed hybrid algorithm is a combination of the well-known RSA algorithm and a simple symmetric key (SSK) algorithm. The aim of this study is to develop a better encryption method using RSA and a newly proposed symmetric SSK algorithm. We believe that the proposed hybrid cryptographic algorithm provides more security and privacy.

  • The expansion of new applications and business models is being significantly fueled by the development of Fifth Generation (5G) networks, which are becoming more widely accessible. The creation of the newest intelligent vehicular net- works and applications is made possible by the use of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) and Software Defined Networking (SDN). Researchers have been concentrating on the integration of SDN and VANET in recent years, and they have examined a variety of issues connected to the architecture, the advantages of software defined VANET services, and the new features that can be added to them. However, the overall architecture's security and robustness are still in doubt and have received little attention. Furthermore, new security threats and vulnerabilities are brought about by the deployment and integration of novel entities and several architectural components. In this study, we comprehensively examine the good and negative effects of the most recent SDN-enabled vehicular network topologies, focusing on security and privacy. We examine various security flaws and attacks based on the existing SDVN architecture. Finally, a thorough discussion of the unresolved concerns and potential future study directions is provided.

  • With the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) applications and devices, there are still defects in safety and privacy. Current researches indicate that there are weak security mechanisms to protect these devices. Humans use the Internet of Things to control and connect their devices with the Internet. Using the Internet of things has been increased over time. Therefore, capture of sensitive user data has increased intentionally or not [1]. The IP Camera is a type of (IOT) devices. Therefore, in this paper we aim to create a "Security Eyes" application that protects IP Cameras from security attacks according to certain security mechanisms (increasing the strength of encryption and filling the usual security holes in IP cameras … etc) and alerts the user when the live broadcast is interrupted or an error occurs.

  • In this proposal, we aim to enhance the security of systems accounts by improving the authentication techniques. We mainly intend to enhance the accuracy of the one-time passwords via including voice biometric and recognition techniques. The recognition will be performed on the server to avoid redirecting voice signatures by hackers. Further, to enhance the privacy of data and to ensure that the active user is legitimate, we propose to periodically update the activated sessions using a user-selected biometric factor. Finally, we recommend adding a pre-transaction re-authentication which will guarantee enhanced security for sensitive operations. The main novelty of this proposal is the use of the voice factor in the verification of the one-time password and the various levels of authentications for a full-security guarantee. The improvement provided by this proposal is mainly designed for sensitive applications. From conducted simulations, findings prove the efficiency of the proposed scheme in reducing the probability of hacking users' sessions.
