In this paper, a secure multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) scheme is proposed for the physical layer security (PLS) of the wireless communications. In the proposed scheme, each transmitted symbol's signal constellation (SC) is hopping with the control of two unique factors: amplitude distortion (AD) factor and phase hopping (PH) factor. With unknown the two factors, the eavesdropper cannot extract effective information from the received signal. We first introduce a security metric, referred to as secrecy gain, and drive a lower bound on the gain that the secrecy capacity can be improved. Then, we investigate the relationship among the secrecy gain, the signal to noise power ratios (SNRs) of the main and wiretap channels, and the secrecy capacity. Next, we analyze the security of the proposed scheme, and the results indicate that the secrecy capacity is improved by our scheme. Specifically, a positive secrecy capacity is always obtained, whether the quality of the main channel is better than that of the wiretap channel or not. Finally, the numerical results are provided to prove the analytical work, which further suggests the security of the proposed scheme.

During the past decades, detection of gear defects remains as a major problem, especially when the gears are subject to non-stationary phenomena. The idea of this paper is to mixture a multilevel wavelet transform with a fast EMD decomposition in order to early detect gear defects. The sensitivity of a kurtosis is used as an indicator of gears defect burn. When the gear is damaged, the appearance of a crack on the gear tooth disrupts the signal. This is due to the presence of periodic pulses. Nevertheless, the existence of background noise induced by the random excitation can have an impact on the values of these temporal indicators. The denoising of these signals by multilevel wavelet transform improves the sensitivity of these indicators and increases the reliability of the investigation. Finally, a defect diagnosis result can be obtained after the fast transformation of the EMD. The proposed approach consists in applying a multi-resolution wavelet analysis with variable decomposition levels related to the severity of gear faults, then a fast EMD is used to early detect faults. The proposed mixed methods are evaluated on vibratory signals from the test bench, CETIM. The obtained results have shown the occurrence of a teeth defect on gear on the 5th and 8th day. This result agrees with the report of the appraisal made on this gear system.

This paper presents a design of an access control mechanism that can resolves the complicated problems of access control requirements in modern information communication applications. In this paper, we proposed an integrated information model which can satisfy the combined goals of confidentiality, integrity and availability of any resource. We defined an integrated information model from the view points of identity-based, rule-based and role-based policy and implemented six access control operations. The proposed integrated information model can protect to unauthorized access to any resource based on the multilevel security policies of security label, integrity level, role and ownership.

We present a new multimodal biometric authentication method, which performs both feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion. After generating support vector machines for new features made by integrating face and voice features, the final decision for authentication is made by integrating decisions of face SVM classifier, voice SVM classifier and integrated features SVM clssifier. We justify our proposal by comparing our method with traditional one by experiments with XM2VTS multimodal database. The experiments show that our multilevel fusion algorithm gives higher recognition rate than the existing schemes.

A distributed DBMS integrates local schemas that are independently designed, maintained, and managed by different users at each site providing a global virtual schema. This global schema supports users at a specific site to transparently utilize local database at different sites. The security features of the local schema should also not be changed in the global schema integrating security features of each local schema. Researches on the integration of security features into local schema in distributed DBMS environment, however, are very rate. This pater using the multilevel secure object-oriented database model(as the model for the definition of a local schema in distributed environment) which is an extension of the object-oriented models. It also suggests eight integration methods that can maintain the security features of local schemas. The eight methods are classified by the object classes and by relationships among them.

Recent development of electronic commerce enables the use of Electronic Stock Trading Systems(ESTS) to be expanded. In ESTS, information with various sensitivity levels is shared by multiple users with mutually different clearance levels. Therefore, it is necessary to use Multilevel Secure Database Management Systems(MLS/DBMSs) in controlling concurrent execution among multiple transactions. In ESTS, not only analytical OLAP transactions, but also mission critical OLTP transactions are executed concurrently, which causes it difficult to adapt traditional secure transaction management schemes to ESTS environments. In this paper, we propose Secure One Snapshot(SOS) protocol that is devised for Secure Transaction Management in ESTS. By maintaining additional one snapshot as well as working database SOS blocks covert-channel efficiently, enables various real-time transaction management schemes to be adapted with ease, and reduces the length of waiting queue being managed to maintain freshness of data by utilizing the characteristics of less strict correctness criteria. In this paper, we introduce the process of SOS protocol with some examples, and then analyze correctness of devised protocol.

This study attempts to test the effects of neighborhoods on children and adolescents' alcohol, cigarette and marijuana use. Theoretically, this study was guided by Akers' (1998) SSSL model as potential explanations for understanding the linkage and provided partial test of the model. More specifically, it aims to test the mediation effects of one of core propositions of the SSSL model; whether differential association with deviant peers as well as with conforming peers mediates social disorganization of neighborhoods on adolescent substance and drug use in a different direction. Using multilevel regression techniques with robust standard error, this study utilized data from 1,791 children and adolescents who were nested in 80 neighborhoods in Chicago. The findings of the study provide mixed supports for the SSSL model. That is, it found that there are not only mediation effects but also moderation effects of differential association on children and adolescents' substance and drug use.

DAC 정책을 기반으로 하는 DBMS에서 데이터에 대한 사용자의 접근 통제는 접근 규칙 데이터베이스에 저장된 접근 규칙을 바탕으로 이 사용자가 접근하려는 데이터에 접근 권리가 명시적으로 기술되었는지를 확인하므로 써 수행된다. MAC 정책은 각 시스템의 주체와 객체에게 보안 등급을 부여하고, 등급별로 분리된 정보의 보안을 유지하기 위해서 다중 보안 단계에서 정보를 처리하는 강제적 접근 권한을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 MAC 정책을 기업 환경에 적용시키는데 있어서는 많은 제약사항이 존재하고 있으며, 이러한 제약사항 중에 레벨별로 정보의 공유가 필요할 경우에 레벨간에 최대, 최소를 둠으로써 레벨간의 정보 공유를 가능하게 만들고자 하는 모델을 제안하고자 한다.

Database systems for real-time applications must satisfy timing constraints associated with transactions. Typically, a timing constraint is expressed in the form of a deadline and is represented as a priority to be used by schedulers. Recently, security has become another important issue in many real-time applications. In many systems, sensitive information is shared by multiple users with different levees of security clearance. As more advanced database systems are being used in applications that need to support timeliness while managing sensitive information, there is an urgent need to develop concurrency control protocols in transaction management that satisfy both timing and security requirements. In this paper, we propose two concurrence control protocols that ensure both security and real-time requirements. The proposed protocols are primarily based on multiversion locking. However, in order to satisfy timing constraint and security requirements, a new method, called the FREEZE, is proposed. In addition, we show that our protocols work correctly and they provide a higher degree of concurrency than existing multiversion protocols. We Present several examples to illustrate the behavior of our protocols, along with performance comparisons with other protocols. The simulation results show that the proposed protocols can achieve significant performance improvement.
