This thesis describes the research and development of a hardware implementation of the Self Organizing Map (SOM) for a network intrusion detection system. As part of the thesis research, Kohonen’s SOM algorithm was examined ...
Software is prone to contain bugs and vulnerabilities. To protect it, researchers normally
go to a lower layer, such as protecting the applications from the kernel or protecting the
operating systems from the hypervisor, ...
Cognitive radio is an emerging technology for sensing and opportunistic spectrum access in wireless communication networks. It allows a secondary user to detect under-utilized spectrum of a primary user and to dynamically ...
Advancement in digital technology has generated a massive amount of data. Large amount of information streaming in from various sources such as phones, tablets, computers and internet has made an immense need to provide a ...
Developing agent behaviors is often a tedious, time-consuming task consisting of repeated code, test, and debug cycles. Despite the difficulties, complex agent behaviors have been developed, but they required significant ...
Multivariate cryptosystems belong to the five most promising families of post-quantum
cryptography (PQC) schemes. Among them, the Unbalanced Oil and Vinegar (UOV) and
the Rainbow signature schemes have been extensively ...
Recovering deleted information from storage drives is a long-standing problem. Prior research has approached information recovery by developing file-carving techniques. However, two issues present significant challenges ...
The development of reliable, portable gas sensors that can detect harmful gases
in real-time with high sensitivity and selectivity, is very important for clean environment
and national security. In the last few decades, ...
The objective of this work is to create a control mechanism for smooth operation of powered wheelchairs through speech recognition and humming detection. Users of wheelchairs are estimated to be about 200 million people ...
This dissertation presents a hybrid filtering method and a case-based reasoning
framework for enhancing the effectiveness of Web search. Web search may not reflect
user needs, intent, context, and preferences, because ...
Computers store persistent information in a non-volatile storage device such as a hard drive. Users directly create and delete files on the hard drive, and users install and uninstall applications which indirectly creates ...
This dissertation investigates the construction of nonseparable multidimensional
wavelets using multidimensional filterbanks. The main contribution of the dissertation is
the derivation of the relations zeros of higher ...
This thesis describes the development of two different methods to produce an optimal
platform for immobilizing biological matter (cells and proteins). Firstly, transparent
indium tin oxide (ITO) microelectrodes were ...
In 2005, a major security
flaw was discovered in Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1), an
NSA-designed cryptographic hash function, standardized by National Institute of Science
and Technology (NIST) since 1995. Basic ...
The Integrated Circuit (IC) supply chain has been undergoing changes inorder to adapt and sustain to the growing costs and technology changes borne by the IC Design house . These changes also add vulnerabilities in the ...
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols designed to provide secure communication between a web server and a web browser. This thesis introduces a unique approach to ...
Nowadays, the fourth generation mobile communication is being popularized all over the world. As the core technologies, OFDM and MIMO are being widely researched and attracting more and more people to make them perfect. ...
This dissertation provides a new methodology of using star observations and advanced nonlinear estimation algorithms to improve the ability of a space based Infrared tracking system to track cold body targets in space. ...
Unavailability of functional units and their unequal activity makes them performance bottleneck and thermal hot spots units in general-purpose processors. This thesis proposes to use reconfigurable functional units to ...
Crowdsourcing and the wisdom of crowds [5] have established that a large number of
low quality inputs can be reliably aggregated to yield a higher quality output. This thesis
examines whether the wisdom of crowds can be ...
