The increasing need for better authentication methods against hackers has called for the use of the biometric authentication method to guard against unauthorized access into the systems. The used of human characteristics for biometrics provides authentication for different kind of systems. However, poor quality of authentication still allows hackers gaining access to these systems. Many biometrics authentication approaches have been proposed to improve the authentication accuracy and other related quality measures. This survey aims to provide a state-of-the-art fingerprint and password biometric authentication approaches. Their challenges have been presented and discussed in terms of biometric authentication. Furthermore, the strengths and weaknesses of each of the fingerprint and password biometric authentication are discussed and compared. The findings show that fingerprint image quality and password authentication is still an active research area where performance requires improv...

This paper proposes an intelligent and compact machine learning model for IoT intrusion detection using an ensemble of semi-parametric models with Ada boost. The proposed model provides an adequate realtime intrusion detection at an affordable computational complexity suitable for the IoT edge networks. The proposed model is evaluated against other comparable models using the benchmark data on IoT-IDS and shows comparable performance with reduced computations as required.

In a wireless body area network (WBAN), wireless biomedical sensors are placed around, on, or inside the human body. Given specific requirements, WBANs can significantly improve healthcare, diagnostic monitoring, and other medical services. However, the existing standards such as IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4 have some limitations to meet all the requirements of WBANs. Many medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied so far, most of which are derived from the IEEE 802.15.4 superframe structure with some improvements and adjustments. However, the MAC protocols do not provide the required quality of service (QoS) for various types of traffic in a WBAN. In this paper, a traffic-aware MAC (TA-MAC) protocol for WBANs is proposed, in which time slots are dynamically allocated on the basis of traffic priority, providing the required QoS. According to the performance evaluation results, the proposed TA-MAC is better than IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and the conventional priority-based MAC in terms of transmission time, system throughput, energy efficiency, and collision ratio.

At the beginning of the paper we give an overview of linear and differential cryptanalysis of block ciphers. We describe two extensions of linear cryptanalysis (analysis with multiple expressions (7) and differential- linear cryptanalysis (10)) which form the basis of the conducted experiments. Then we describe the functioning of truncated differentials (1),(8) and the usage of differential structures ((1),(2) and
