Access Control Mechanisms for Outsourced Data in Cloud

Cloud Computing, Web | Desktop Application
Access Control Mechanisms for Outsourced Data in Cloud Traditional access control models often assume that the en- tity enforcing access control policies is also the owner of data and re- sources. This assumption no longer holds when data is outsourced to a third-party storage provider, such as the cloud. Existing access control solutions mainly focus on preserving con dentiality of stored data from unauthorized access and the storage provider. However, in this setting, access control policies as well as users' access patterns also become pri- vacy sensitive information that should be protected from the cloud. We propose a two-level access control scheme that combines coarse-grained access control enforced at the cloud, which allows to get acceptable com- munication overhead and at the same time limits the information that the cloud learns…

An extended visual cryptography scheme without pixel expansion for halftone images

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
An extended visual cryptography scheme without pixel expansion for halftone images Visual cryptography is a secret sharing scheme which use images distributed as shares such that, when the shares are superimposed, a hidden secret image is revealed. In extended visual cryptography, the share images are constructed to contain meaningful cover images, thereby providing opportunities for integrating visual cryptography and biometric security techniques. In this paper, we propose a method for processing halftone images that improves the quality of the share images and the recovered secret image in an extended visual cryptography scheme for which the size of the share images and the recovered image is the same as for the original halftone secret image. The resulting scheme maintains the perfect security of the original extended visual cryptography approach.

Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation in Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing, Web | Desktop Application
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation in Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is a use of computing resources that is delivered as a service over a network. Sharing the data in the cloud depends on the network performance of the data centers. Bandwidth allocation plays a major role in sharing the resources towards the data center networks. Server performance is the major problem in cloud computing. When multiple users send a request for the same server at a time, the performance of the server is considerably decreased. So we describe a novel method of reallocating the bandwidth dynamically from passive users to active users using bandwidth mutual sharing and fair sharing technique.

A Secret-Sharing-Based Method for Authentication of Grayscale Document Images via the Use of the PNG

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
A Secret-Sharing-Based Method for Authentication of Grayscale Document Images via the Use of the PNG Abstract—A new blind authentication method based on the secret sharing technique with a data repair capability for grayscale document images via the use of the PNG image is proposed. An authentication signal is generated for each block of a grayscale document image, which, together with the binarized block content, is transformed into several shares using the Shamir secret sharing scheme. The involved parameters are carefully chosen so that as many shares as possible are generated and embedded into an alpha channel plane. The alpha channel plane is then combined with the original grayscale image to form a PNG image. During the embedding process, the computed share values are mapped into a range of alpha channel…

DEFENSES AGAINST LARGE SCALE ONLINE PASSWORD GUESSING ATTACKS BY USING PERSUASIVE CLICK POINTS

Cloud Computing, Web | Desktop Application
DEFENSES AGAINST LARGE SCALE ONLINE PASSWORD GUESSING ATTACKS BY USING PERSUASIVE CLICK POINTS Abstract Usable security has unique usability challenges because the need for security often means that standard human-computer-interaction approaches cannot be directly applied. An important usability goal for authentication systems is to support users in selecting better passwords. Users often create memorable passwords that are easy for attackers to guess, but strong system-assigned passwords are difficult for users to remember. So researchers of modern days have gone for alternative methods wherein graphical pictures are used as passwords. Graphical passwords essentially use images or representation of images as passwords. Human brain is good in remembering picture than textual character. There are various graphical password schemes or graphical password software in the market. However, very little research has been done…

Robust Face-Name Graph Matching for Movie Character Identification

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
Robust Face-Name Graph Matching for Movie Character Identification Automatic face identification of characters in movies has drawn significant research interests and led to many interesting applications. It is a challenging problem due to the huge variation in the appearance of each character. Although existing methods demonstrate promising results in clean environment, the performances are limited in complex movie scenes due to the noises generated during the face tracking and face clustering process. In this paper we present two schemes of global face-name matching based framework for robust character identification. The contributions of this work include: 1) A noise insensitive character relationship representation is incorporated. 2) We introduce an edit operation based graph matching algorithm. 3) Complex character changes are handled by simultaneously graph partition and graph matching. 4) Beyond existing…

A Novel Data Embedding Method Using Adaptive Pixel Pair Matching

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
A Novel Data Embedding Method Using Adaptive Pixel Pair Matching This paper proposes a new data-hiding method based on pixel pair matching (PPM). The basic idea of PPM is to use the values of pixel pair as a reference coordinate, and search a coordinate in the neighborhood set of this pixel pair according to a given message digit. The pixel pair is then replaced by the searched coordinate to conceal the digit. Exploiting modification direction (EMD) and diamond encoding (DE) are two data-hiding methods proposed recently based on PPM. The maximum capacity of EMD is 1.161 bpp and DE extends the payload of EMD by embedding digits in a larger notational system. The proposed method offers lower distortion than DE by providing more compact neighborhood sets and allowing embedded digits…

A Keyless Approach to Image Encryption

Image Processing, Security and Encryption, Web | Desktop Application
A Keyless Approach to Image Encryption Maintaining the secrecy and confidentiality of images is a vibrant area of research, with two different approaches being followed, the first being encrypting the images through encryption algorithms using keys, the other approach involves dividing the image into random shares to maintain the images secrecy. Unfortunately heavy computation cost and key management limit the employment of the first approach and the poor quality of the recovered image from the random shares limit the applications of the second approach. In this paper we propose a novel approach without the use of encryption keys. The approach employs Sieving, Division and Shuffling to generate random shares such that with minimal computation, the original secret image can be recovered from the random shares without any loss of image…

Efficient Privacy-Preserving Range Queries over Encrypted Data in Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing, Web | Desktop Application
Efficient Privacy-Preserving Range Queries over Encrypted Data in Cloud Computing With the growing popularity of data and service outsourcing, where the data resides on remote servers in encrypted form, there remain open questions about what kind of query operations can be performed on the encrypted data. In this paper, we focus on one such important query operation, namely range query. One of the basic security primitive that can be used to evaluate range queries is secure comparison of encrypted integers. However, the existing secure comparison protocols strongly rely on the encrypted bit-wise representations rather than on pure encrypted integers. Therefore, in this paper, we first propose an efficient method for converting an encrypted integer z into encryptions of the individual bits of z. We then utilize the proposed security primitive…

N-Square Approach For Lossless Image Compression And Decompression

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
N-Square Approach For Lossless Image Compression And Decompression There are several lossy and lossless coding techniques developed all through the last two decades. Although very high compression can be achieved with lossy compression techniques, they are deficient in obtaining the original image. While lossless compression technique recovers the image exactly. In applications related to medical imaging lossless techniques are required, as the loss of information is deplorable. The objective of image compression is to symbolize an image with a handful number of bits as possible while preserving the quality required for the given application. In this paper we are introducing a new lossless encoding and decoding technique which even better reduces the entropy there by reducing the average number of bits with the utility of Non Binary Huffman coding through…

An Efficient Real Time Moving Object Detection Method for Video Surveillance System

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
An Efficient Real Time Moving Object Detection Method for Video Surveillance System Moving object detection has been widely used in diverse discipline such as intelligent transportation systems, airport security systems, video monitoring systems, and so on. In this paper, we propose an efficient moving object detection method using enhanced edge localization mechanism and gradient directional masking for video surveillance system. In our proposed method, gradient map images are initially generated from the input and background images using a gradient operator. The gradient difference map is then calculated from gradient map images. The moving object is then detected by using appropriate directional masking and thresholding. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method consistently performs well under different illumination conditions including indoor, outdoor, sunny, and foggy cases. Moreover, it outperforms well known…

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
Image Authentication and Restoration using BlockWise Fragile Watermarking based on k-Medoids Clustering Approach This paper proposes a block-wise fragile watermarking scheme based on k-medoids clustering approach. Proposed scheme is effective enough to reconstruct the tampered extensive content of an image. According to the suggested algorithm, first of all image is divided into the blocks and forty eight bits are calculated for each block, which consist of forty five Recovery bits and three Authentication bits namely Union bit, Affiliation bit and Spectrum bit. Authentication bits for a particular block are calculated by extracting five MSBs from each pixel of that block and apply them, on some predefined hash functions.

A robust skew detection method based on maximum gradient difference and R-signature

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
A robust skew detection method based on maximum gradient difference and R-signature In this paper we study the detection of skewed text lines in scanned document images. The aim of our work is to develop a new automatic approach able to estimate precisely the skew angle of text in document images. Our new method is based on Maximum Gradient Difference (MGD) and R-signature. It detects zones that have high variations of gray values in different directions using the MGD transform. We consider these zones as being text regions. R-signature which is a shape descriptor based on Radon transform is then applied in order to approximate the skew angle. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm is evaluated on an open dataset by comparing error rates.

Image-based object detection under varying illumination in environments with specular surfaces

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
Image-based object detection under varying illumination in environments with specular surfaces Image-based environment representations capture the appearance of the surroundings of a mobile robot and are useful for the detection of novelty. However, image-based novelty detection can be impaired by illumination effects. In this paper we present an approach for the image-based detection of novel objects in a scene under varying lighting conditions and in the presence of objects with specular surfaces. The computation of an illumination-invariant image-based environment representation allows for the extraction of the shading of the environment from camera images. Using statistical models infered from the luminance and the saturation component of the shading images, secularities and shadows are detected and suppressed in the process of novelty detection. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms two…

A New Block Compressive Sensing to Control the Number of Measurements

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
A New Block Compressive Sensing to Control the Number of Measurements Compressive Sensing (CS) aims to recover a sparse signal from a small number of projections onto random vectors. Be- cause of its great practical possibility, both academia and in- dustries have made efforts to develop the CS’s reconstruction performance, but most of existing works remain at the theo- retical study. In this paper, we propose a new Block Compres- sive Sensing (nBCS), which has several benefits compared to the general CS methods. In particular, the nBCS can be dynamically adaptive to varying channel capacity because it conveys the good inheritance of the wavelet transform.

Secure Authentication using Image Processing and Visual Cryptography for Banking Applications

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
Secure Authentication using Image Processing and Visual Cryptography for Banking Applications Core banking is a set of services provided by a group of networked bank branches. Bank customers may access their funds and perform other simple transactions from any of the member branch ofces. The major issue in core banking is the authenticity of the customer. Due to unavoidable hacking of the databases on the internet, it is always quite difcult to trust the information on the internet. To solve this problem of authentication, we are proposing an algorithm based on image processing and visual cryptography. This paper proposes a technique of processing the signature of a customer and then dividing it into shares. Total number of shares to be created is depending on the scheme chosen by the bank.…

An Algorithm to Automatically Generate Schedule for School Lectures Using a Heuristic Approach This paper proposes a general solution for the School timetabling problem. Most heuristic proposed earlier approaches the problem from the students’ point of view. This solution, however, works from the teachers’ point of view i.e. teacher availability for a given time slot. While all the hard constraints (e.g. the availability of teachers, etc.) are resolved rigorously, the scheduling solution presented in this paper is an adaptive one, with a primary aim to solve the issue of clashes of lectures and subjects, pertaining to teachers.

Analyzing Network Traffic To Detect Self-Decrypting Exploit Code

Networking
Analyzing Network Traffic To Detect Self-Decrypting Exploit Code ABSTRACT Remotely-launched software exploits are a common way for attackers to intrude into vulnerable computer systems. As detection techniques improve, remote exploitation techniques are also evolving. Recent techniques for evasion of exploit detection include polymorphism (code encryption) and metamorphism (code obfuscation). This paper addresses the problem of detecting in network traffic polymorphic remote exploits that are encrypted, and that self-decrypt before launching the intrusion. Such exploits pose a great challenge to existing malware detection techniques, partly due to the non-obvious starting location of the exploit code in the network payload.

Genetic algorithm for energy efficient QoS Multicast Routing

Networking
Genetic algorithm for energy efficient QoS Multicast Routing The consideration of energy consumption in wireless ad hoc networks prevents the problem of the network exhausting batteries, thus partitioning the entire network. Power-aware multicasting is proposed to reduce the power consumption. This letter presents an energy-efficient genetic algorithm mechanism to resolve quality of service (QoS) multicast routing problem, which is NP-complete. The proposed genetic algorithm depends on bounded end-to-end delay and minimum energy cost of the multicast tree. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and efficient.

Lightweight Sybil Attack Detection in MANETs

Networking
Lightweight Sybil Attack Detection in MANETs Fully self-organized mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent complex distributed systems that may also be part of a huge complex system, such as a complex system-of-systems used for crisis management operations. Due to the complex nature of MANETs and its resource constraint nodes, there has always been a need to develop lightweight security solutions. Since MANETs require a unique, distinct, and persistent identity per node in order for their security protocols to be viable, Sybil attacks pose a serious threat to such networks. A Sybil attacker can either create more than one identity on a single physical device in order to launch a coordinated attack on the network or can switch identities in order to weaken the detection process, thereby promoting lack of accountability…

Lossless image compression based on data folding

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
Lossless image compression based on data folding The paper presents an approach for lossless image compression in spatial domain for continuous-tone images using a novel concept of image folding. The proposed method uses the property of adjacent neighbor redundancy for prediction. In this method, column folding followed by row folding is applied iteratively on the image till the image size reduces to a smaller pre-defined value. For column folding, elements of even columns are subtracted from elements of odd columns. Thereafter, row folding is applied on odd columns in a similar fashion. In row folding, even rows are subtracted from odd rows and the resultant odd rows are used for next iteration. The difference data, thus obtained, is stored in a tile format; which along with the reduced image is…

A New Cell Counting Based Attack Against Tor.

Networking
A New Cell Counting Based Attack Against Tor. Various low-latency anonymous communication systems such as Tor and Anonymizer have been designed to provide anonymity service for users. In order to hide the communication of users, most of the anonymity systems pack the application data into equal-sized cells. Via extensive experiments on Tor, we found that the size of IP packets in the Tor network can be very dynamic because a cell is an application concept and the IP layer may repack cells. Based on this finding, we investigate a new cell-counting-based attack against Tor, which allows the attacker to confirm anonymous communication relationship among users very quickly. In this attack, by marginally varying the number of cells in the target traffic at the malicious exit onion router, the attacker can…

A chaotic system based fragile watermarking scheme for image tamper detection

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
A chaotic system based fragile watermarking scheme for image tamper detection In the past few years, various fragile watermarking techniques have been proposed for image authen- tication and tamper detection. In this paper, a novel chaos based watermarking scheme for image authentication and tamper detection is proposed. Tamper localization and detection accuracy are two important aspects of the authentication watermarking schemes. Our scheme can detect any modifica- tion made to the image and can also indicate the specific locations that have been modified. To improve the security of the proposed scheme two chaotic maps are employed. Since chaotic maps are sensitive to initial values, the corresponding position relation between pixels in the watermarked image and the watermark get disturbed, which helps the watermarking scheme to withstand counterfeiting attacks. Initial values…

Load Balancing Multipath Switching System with Flow Slice.

Networking
Load Balancing Multipath Switching System with Flow Slice. Multipath Switching systems are intensely used in state-of-the-art core routers to provide terabit or even petabit switching capacity. One of the most intractable issues in designing MPS is how to load balance traffic across its multiple paths while not disturbing the interflow packet orders. Previous packet-based solutions either suffer from delay penalties or lead to hardware complexity, hence do not scale. Flow-based hashing algorithms also perform badly due to the heavy-tailed flow-size distribution. In this paper, we develop a novel scheme, namely, Flow Slice that cuts off each flow into flow slices at every interflow interval larger than a slicing threshold and balances the load on a finer granularity. Based on the studies of tens of real Internet traces, we show that…

Optimal Power Allocation in Multi-Relay MIMO Cooperative Networks: Theory and Algorithms.

Networking
Optimal Power Allocation in Multi-Relay MIMO Cooperative Networks: Theory and Algorithms. Cooperative networking is known to have significant potential in increasing network capacity and transmission reliability. Although there have been extensive studies on applying cooperative networking in multi-hop ad hoc networks, most works are limited to the basic three-node relay scheme and single-antenna systems. These two limitations are interconnected and both are due to a limited theoretical understanding of the optimal power allocation structure in MIMO cooperative networks (MIMO-CN). In this paper, we study the structural properties of the optimal power allocation in MIMOCN with per-node power constraints. More specifically, we show that the optimal power allocations at the source and each relay follow a matching structure in MIMO-CN. This result generalizes the power allocation result under the basic three-node…

Linear distance coding for image classification

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
Linear distance coding for image classification The traditional SPM approach based on bag-of-features (BoF) requires nonlinear classifiers to achieve good image classification performance. This paper presents a simple but effective coding scheme called Locality-constrained Linear Coding (LLC) in place of the VQ coding in traditional SPM. LLC utilizes the locality constraints to project each descriptor into its local-coordinate system, and the projected coordinates are integrated by max pooling to generate the final representation. With linear classifier, the proposed approach performs remarkably better than the traditional nonlinear SPM, achieving state-of-the-art performance on several benchmarks. Compared with the sparse coding strategy [22], the objective function used by LLC has an analytical solution. In addition, the paper proposes a fast approximated LLC method by first performing a K-nearest-neighbor search and then solving a…

Assessing the Veracity of Identity Assertions via OSNs.

Networking
Assessing the Veracity of Identity Assertions via OSNs. Anonymity is one of the main virtues of the Internet, as it protects privacy and enables users to express opinions more freely. However, anonymity hinders the assessment of the veracity of assertions that online users make about their identity attributes, such as age or profession. We propose FaceTrust, a system that uses online social networks to provide lightweight identity credentials while preserving a user’s anonymity. Face-Trust employs a game with a purpose” design to elicit the opinions of the friends of a user about the user’s self-claimed identity attributes, and uses attack-resistant trust inference to assign veracity scores to identity attribute assertions. FaceTrust provides credentials, which a user can use to corroborate his assertions. We evaluate our proposal using a live Facebook…

Handling Multiple Failures in IP Networks through Localized On-Demand Link State Routing

Networking
Handling Multiple Failures in IP Networks through Localized On-Demand Link State Routing It has been observed that transient failures are fairly common in IP backbone networks and there have been several proposals based on local rerouting to provide high network availability despite failures. While most of these proposals are effective in handling single failures, they either cause loops or drop packets in the case of multiple independent failures. To ensure forwarding continuity even with multiple failures, we propose Localized On-demand Link State (LOLS) routing. Under LOLS, each packet carries a blacklist, which is a minimal set of failed links encountered along its path, and the next hop is determined by excluding the blacklisted links. We show that the blacklist can be reset when the packet makes forward progress towards the…

FireCol: A Collaborative Protection Network for the Detection of Flooding DDoS Attacks

Networking
FireCol: A Collaborative Protection Network for the Detection of Flooding DDoS Attacks Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks remain a major security problem, the mitigation of which is very hard especially when it comes to highly distributed botnet-based attacks. The early discovery of these attacks, although challenging, is necessary to protect end-users as well as the expensive network infrastructure resources. In this paper, we address the problem of DDoS attacks and present the theoretical foundation, architecture, and algorithms of FireCol. The core of FireCol is composed of intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) located at the Internet service providers (ISPs) level. The IPSs form virtual protection rings around the hosts to defend and collaborate by exchanging selected traffic information. The evaluation of FireCol using extensive simulations and a real dataset is presented, showing FireCol…

Robust Watermarking of Compressed and Encrypted JPEG2000 Images

Image Processing, Web | Desktop Application
Robust Watermarking of Compressed and Encrypted JPEG2000 Images Digital asset management systems (DAMS) generally handle media data in a compressed and encrypted form. It is sometimes necessary to watermark these compressed encrypted media items in the compressed-encrypted domain itself for tamper detection or ownership declaration or copyright management purposes. It is a challenge to watermark these compressed encrypted streams as the compression process would have packed the information of raw media into a low number of bits and encryption would have randomized the compressed bit stream. Attempting to watermark such a randomized bit stream can cause a dramatic degradation of the media quality. Thus it is necessary to choose an encryption scheme that is both secure and will allow watermarking in a predictable manner in the compressed encrypted domain. In…

Image compression and decompression using adaptive interpolation A simple and fast lossy compression and decompression algorithm for digital images is proposed. The method offers varying compression ratios (depending on dimensions of the image) and the acquired decompressed image is close to the original one. A selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality is allowed,making it possible to adjust degree of compression. Compared to JPEG, it provides us better compression ratio. The suggested method does not restrict itself to any particular type of image.

Participatory Privacy: Enabling Privacy in Participatory Sensing

Networking
Participatory Privacy: Enabling Privacy in Participatory Sensing Participatory Sensing is an emerging computing paradigm that enables the distributed collection of data by self-selected participants. It allows the increasing number of mobile phone users to share local knowledge acquired by their sensor-equipped devices, e.g., to monitor temperature, pollution level or consumer pricing information. While research initiatives and prototypes proliferate, their real-world impact is often bounded to comprehensive user participation. If users have no incentive, or feel that their privacy might be endangered, it is likely that they will not participate. In this article, we focus on privacy protection in Participatory Sensing and introduce a suitable privacy-enhanced infrastructure. First, we provide a set of definitions of privacy requirements for both data producers (i.e., users providing sensed information) and consumers (i.e., applications accessing…

A Query Formulation Language for the data web

Data mining
A Query Formulation Language for the data web We present a query formulation language called MashQL in order to easily query and fuse structured data on the web. The main novelty of MashQL is that it allows people with limited IT-skills to explore and query one or multiple data sources without prior knowledge about the schema, structure, vocabulary, or any technical details of these sources. More importantly, to be robust and cover most cases in practice, we do not assume that a data source should have -an offline or inline- schema. This poses several language-design and performance complexities that we fundamentally tackle. To illustrate the query formulation power of MashQL, and without loss of generality, we chose the Data Web scenario. We also chose querying RDF, as it is the…

It can save power and extend transmission coverage. However, prior research work on topology control considers CC only in the aspect of energy saving, not that of coverage extension. We identify the challenges in the development of a centralized topology control scheme, named Cooperative Bridges, which reduces transmission power of nodes as well as increases network connectivity. Prior research on topology control with CC only focuses on maintaining the network connectivity, minimizing the transmission power of each node, whereas ignores the energy efficiency of paths in constructed topologies. This may cause inefficient routes and hurt the overall network performance in cooperative ad hoc networks.…

Efficient and Discovery of Patterns in Sequence Data Sets.

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Efficient and Discovery of Patterns in Sequence Data Sets. Existing sequence mining algorithms mostly focus on mining for subsequences. However, a large class of applications, such as biological DNA and protein motif mining, require efficient mining of “approximate” patterns that are contiguous. The few existing algorithms that can be applied to find such contiguous approximate pattern mining have drawbacks like poor scalability, lack of guarantees in finding the pattern, and difficulty in adapting to other applications. In this paper, we present a new algorithm called Flexible and Accurate Motif DEtector (FLAME). FLAME is a flexible suffix-tree-based algorithm that can be used to find frequent patterns with a variety of definitions of motif (pattern) models. It is also accurate, as it always finds the pattern if it exists. Using both real…

Detecting and Resolving Firewall Policy Anomalies

Networking
Detecting and Resolving Firewall Policy Anomalies As the network dramatically extended security considered as major issue in networks. There are many methods to increase the network security at the moment such as encryption, VPN, firewall etc. but all of these are too static to give an effective protection against attack and counter attack. We use data mining algorithm and apply it to the anomaly detection problem. In this work our aim to use data mining techniques including classification tree and support vector machines for anomaly detection. The result of experiments shows that the algorithm C4.5 has greater capability than SVM in detecting network anomaly and false alarm rate by using 1999 KDD cup data.

Denial of Service Defense through Web Referral

Networking
Denial of Service Defense through Web Referral The web is a complicated graph, with millions of websites interlinked together. In this paper, we propose to use this web sitegraph structure to mitigate flooding attacks on a website, using a new web referral architecture for privileged service (?WRAPS?). WRAPS allows a legitimate client to obtain a privilegeURL through a click on a referral hypherlink, from a website trusted by the target website. Using that URL, the client can get privileged access to the target website in a manner that is far less vulnerable to a DDoS flooding attack. WRAPS does not require changes to web client software and is extremely lightweight for referrer websites, which eases its deployment. The massive scale of the web sitegraph could deter attempts to isolate a…

Mining Web Graphs for Recommendations.

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Mining Web Graphs for Recommendations. As the exponential explosion of various contents generated on the Web, Recommendation techniques have become increasingly indispensable. Innumerable different kinds of recommendations are made on the Web every day, including music, images, books recommendations, query suggestions, etc. No matter what types of data sources are used for the recommendations, essentially these data sources can be modeled in the form of graphs. In this paper, aiming at providing a general framework on mining Web graphs for recommendations, (1) we first propose a novel diffusion method which propagates similarities between different recommendations; (2) then we illustrate how to generalize different recommendation problems into our graph diffusion framework. The proposed framework can be utilized in many recommendation tasks on the World Wide Web, including query suggestions, image recommendations,…

Improving Aggregate Recommendation Diversity Using Ranking-Based Techniques

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Improving Aggregate Recommendation Diversity Using Ranking-Based Techniques Recommender systems are becoming increasingly important to individual users and businesses for providing personalized recommendations. However, while the majority of algorithms proposed in recommender systems literature have focused on improving recommendation accuracy, other important aspects of recommendation quality, such as the diversity of recommendations, have often been overlooked. In this paper, we introduce and explore a number of item ranking techniques that can generate recommendations that have substantially higher aggregate diversity across all users while maintaining comparable levels of recommendation accuracy. Comprehensive empirical evaluation consistently shows the diversity gains of the proposed techniques using several real-world rating datasets and different rating prediction algorithms.

Predicting missing items in shopping cart using fast algorithm

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Predicting missing items in shopping cart using fast algorithm Prediction in shopping cart uses partial information about the contents of a shopping cart for the prediction of what else the customer is likely to buy. In order to reduce the rule mining cost, a fast algorithm generating frequent itemsets without generating candidate itemsets is proposed. The algorithm uses Boolean vector with relational AND operation to discover frequent itemsets and generate the association rule. Association rules are used to identify relationships among a set of items in database. Initially Boolean Matrix is generated by transforming the database into Boolean values. The frequent itemsets are generated from the Boolean matrix. Then association rules are to generated from the already generated frequent itemsets. The association rules generated form the basis for prediction. The…

A Threshold-based Similarity Measure for Duplicate Detection

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
A Threshold-based Similarity Measure for Duplicate Detection In order to extract beneficial information and recognize a particular pattern from huge data stored in different databases with different formats, data integration is essential. However the problem that arises here is that data integration may lead to duplication. In other words, due to the availability of data in different formats, there might be some records which refer to the same entity. Duplicate detection or record linkage is a technique which is used to detect and match duplicate records which are generated in data integration process. Most approaches concentrated on string similarity measures for comparing records. However, they fail to identify records which share the semantic information. So, in this study, a thresholdbased method which takes into account both string and semantic similarity…

Efficient Multi-dimensional Fuzzy Search for Personal Information Management Systems

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Efficient Multi-dimensional Fuzzy Search for Personal Information Management Systems With the explosion in the amount of semi-structured data users access and store in personal information management systems, there is a critical need for powerful search tools to retrieve often very heterogeneous data in a simple and efficient way. Existing tools typically support some IR-style ranking on the textual part of the query, but only consider structure (e.g., file directory) and metadata (e.g., date, file type) as filtering conditions. We propose a novel multi-dimensional search approach that allows users to perform fuzzy searches for structure and metadata conditions in addition to keyword conditions. Our techniques individually score each dimension and integrate the three dimension scores into a meaningful unified score. We also design indexes and algorithms to efficiently identify the most…

Enabling Multilevel Trust in Privacy Preserving Data Mining

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Enabling Multilevel Trust in Privacy Preserving Data Mining Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM) addresses the problem of developing accurate models about aggregated data without access to precise information in individual data record. A widely studied perturbation-based PPDM approach introduces random perturbation to individual values to preserve privacy before data are published. Previous solutions of this approach are limited in their tacit assumption of single-level trust on data miners. In this work, we relax this assumption and expand the scope of perturbation-based PPDM to Multilevel Trust (MLT-PPDM). In our setting, the more trusted a data miner is, the less perturbed copy of the data it can access. Under this setting, a malicious data miner may have access to differently perturbed copies of the same data through various means, and may combine…

Slicing A New Approach to Privacy Preserving Data Publishing.

Data mining, Security and Encryption, Web | Desktop Application
Slicing A New Approach to Privacy Preserving Data Publishing. Several anonymization techniques, such as generalization and bucketization, have been designed for privacy preserving microdata publishing. Recent work has shown that general- ization loses considerable amount of information, especially for high-dimensional data. Bucketization, on the other hand, does not prevent membership disclosure and does not apply for data that do not have a clear separation between quasi- identifying attributes and sensitive attributes.

Advance Mining of Temporal High Utility Itemset

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Advance Mining of Temporal High Utility Itemset The stock market domain is a dynamic and unpredictable environment. Traditional techniques, such as fundamental and technical analysis can provide investors with some tools for managing their stocks and predicting their prices. However, these techniques cannot discover all the possible relations between stocks and thus there is a need for a different approach that will provide a deeper kind of analysis. Data mining can be used extensively in the financial markets and help in stock-price forecasting. Therefore, we propose in this paper a portfolio management solution with business intelligence characteristics. We know that the temporal high utility itemsets are the itemsets with support larger than a pre-specified threshold in current time window of data stream. Discovery of temporal high utility itemsets is an…

A Framework for Personal Mobile Commerce Pattern Mining and Prediction

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
A Framework for Personal Mobile Commerce Pattern Mining and Prediction In many applications, including location based services, queries may not be precise. In this paper, we study the problem of efficiently computing range aggregates in a multidimensional space when the query location is uncertain. Specifically, for a query point Q whose location is uncertain and a set S of points in a multi- dimensional space, we want to calculate the aggregate (e.g., count, average and sum) over the subset S_ of S such that for each p ∈ S_, Q has at least probability θ within the distance γ to p. We propose novel, efficient techniques to solve the problem following the filtering-and-verification paradigm. In particular, two novel filtering techniques are proposed to effectively and efficiently remove data points from…

Sequential Anomaly Detection in the Presence of Noise and Limited Feedback

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Sequential Anomaly Detection in the Presence of Noise and Limited Feedback This paper describes a methodology for detecting anomalies from sequentially observed and potentially noisy data. The proposed approach consists of two main elements: (1) filtering, or assigning a belief or likelihood to each successive measurement based upon our ability to predict it from previous noisy observations, and (2) hedging, or flagging potential anomalies by comparing the current belief against a time-varying and data-adaptive threshold. The threshold is adjusted based on the available feedback from an end user. Our algorithms, which combine universal prediction with recent work on online convex programming, do not require computing posterior distributions given all current observations and involve simple primal-dual parameter updates. At the heart of the proposed approach lie exponential-family models which can be…

A Novel Algorithm for Automatic Document Clustering

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
A Novel Algorithm for Automatic Document Clustering Internet has become an indispensible part of today’s life. World Wide Web (WWW) is the largest shared information source. Finding relevant information on the WWW is challenging. To respond to a user query, it is difficult to search through the large number of returned documents with the presence of today’s search engines. There is a need to organize a large set of documents into categories through clustering. The documents can be a user query or simply a collection of documents. Document clustering is the task of combining a set of documents into clusters so that intra cluster documents are similar to each other than inter cluster documents. Partitioning and Hierarchical algorithms are commonly used for document clustering. Existing partitioning algorithms have the limitation…

Dynamic Personalized Recommendation on Sparse Data

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Dynamic Personalized Recommendation on Sparse Data Recommendation techniques are very important in the fields of E-commerce and other Web-based services. One of the main difficulties is dynamically providing high-quality recommendation on sparse data. In this paper, a novel dynamic personalized recommendation algorithm is proposed, in which information contained in both ratings and profile contents are utilized by exploring latent relations between ratings, a set of dynamic features are designed to describe user preferences in multiple phases, and finally a recommendation is made by adaptively weighting the features. Experimental results on public datasets show that the proposed algorithm has satisfying performance.

Efficient Algorithms for Mining High Utility Itemsets from Transactional Databases

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Efficient Algorithms for Mining High Utility Itemsets from Transactional Databases Mining high utility itemsets from a transactional database refers to the discovery of itemsets with high utility like profits. Although a number of relevant algorithms have been proposed in recent years, they incur the problem of producing a large number of candidate itemsets for high utility itemsets. Such a large number of candidate itemsets degrades the mining performance in terms of execution time and space requirement. The situation may become worse when the database contains lots of long transactions or long high utility itemsets. In this paper, we propose two algorithms, namely utility pattern growth (UP-Growth) and UP-Growth+, for mining high utility itemsets with a set of effective strategies for pruning candidate itemsets. The information of high utility itemsets is…

Sensitive Label Privacy Protection on Social Network Data

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Sensitive Label Privacy Protection on Social Network Data This paper is motivated by the recognition of the need for a ner grain and more personalized privacy in data publication of social networks. We propose a privacy protection scheme that not only prevents the disclosure of identity of users but also the disclosure of selected features in users' pro les. An individual user can select which features of her pro le she wishes to conceal. The social networks are modeled as graphs in which users are nodes and features are labels. Labels are denoted either as sensitive or as non-sensitive. We treat node labels both as background knowledge an adversary may possess, and as sensitive information that has to be protected. We present privacy protection algorithms that allow for graph data to be…

Privacy against Aggregate Knowledge Attacks

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Privacy against Aggregate Knowledge Attacks This paper focuses on protecting the privacy of individuals in publication scenarios where the attacker is ex- pected to have only abstract or aggregate knowledge about each record. Whereas, data privacy research usually focuses on defining stricter privacy guarantees that assume increasingly more sophisticated attack scenarios, it is also important to have anonymization methods and guarantees that will address any attack scenario. Enforcing a stricter guarantee than required increases unnecessarily the information loss. Consider for example the publication of tax records, where attackers might only know the total income, and not its con- stituent parts. Traditional anonymization methods would pro- tect user privacy by creating equivalence classes of identical records. Alternatively, in this work we propose an anonymization technique that generalizes attributes, only as much…

Adapting a Ranking Model for Domain-Specific Search

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Adapting a Ranking Model for Domain-Specific Search An adaptation process is described to adapt a ranking model constructed for a broad-based search engine for use with a domain-specific ranking model. It’s difficult to applying the broad-based ranking model directly to different domains due to domain differences, to build a unique ranking model for each domain it time-consuming for training models. In this paper,we address these difficulties by proposing algorithm called ranking adaptation SVM (RA-SVM), Our algorithm only requires the prediction from the existing ranking models, rather than their internal representations or the data from auxiliary domains The ranking model is adapted for use in a search environment focusing on a specific segment of online content, for example, a specific topic, media type, or genre of content. a domain-specific ranking model…

Efficient Similarity Search over Encrypted Data

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Efficient Similarity Search over Encrypted Data amount of data have been stored in the cloud. Although cloud based services offer many advantages, privacy and security of the sensitive data is a big concern. To mitigate the concerns, it is desirable to outsource sensitive data in encrypted form. Encrypted storage protects the data against illegal access, but it complicates some basic, yet important functionality such as the search on the data. To achieve search over encrypted data without compromising the privacy, considerable amount of searchable encryption schemes have been proposed in the literature. However, almost all of them handle exact query matching but not similarity matching; a crucial requirement for real world applications. Although some sophisticated secure multi-party computation based cryptographic techniques are available for similarity tests, they are computationally intensive…

A Bayesian Approach to Filtering Junk E-Mail

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
A Bayesian Approach to Filtering Junk E-Mail Abstract In addressing the growing problem of junk E-mail on the Internet, we examine methods for the automated construction of lters to eliminate such unwanted mes- sages from a user's mail stream. By casting this prob- lem in a decision theoretic framework, we are able to make use of probabilistic learning methods in conjunc- tion with a notion of di erential misclassi cation cost to produce lters which are especially appropriate for the nuances of this task. While this may appear, at rst, to be a straight-forward text classi cation prob- lem, we show that by considering domain-speci c fea- tures of this problem in addition to the raw text of E-mail messages, we can produce much more accurate lters. Finally, we show the ecacy of such…

Hiding Sensitive Association Rule for Privacy Preservation

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Hiding Sensitive Association Rule for Privacy Preservation Data mining techniques have been widely used in various applications. However, the misuse of these techniques may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. Researchers have recently made efforts at hiding sensitive association rules. Nevertheless, undesired side effects, e.g., non sensitive rules falsely hidden and spurious rules falsely generated, may be produced in the rule hiding process. In this paper, we present a novel approach that strategically modifies a few transactions in the transaction database to decrease the supports or confidences of sensitive rules without producing the side effects. Since the correlation among rules can make it impossible to achieve this goal, in this paper, we propose heuristic methods for increasing the number of hidden sensitive rules and reducing the number of modified…

Efficiency of content distribution via network coding

Networking
Efficiency of content distribution via network coding Content distribution via network coding has received a lot of attention lately. However, direct application of network coding may be insecure. In particular, attackers can inject “bogus” data to corrupt the content distribution process so as to hinder the information dispersal or even deplete the network resource. Therefore, content verification is an important and practical issue when network coding is employed. When random linear network coding is used, it is infeasible for the source of the content to sign all the data, and hence, the traditional “hash-and-sign” methods are no longer applicable. Recently, a new on-the-fly verification technique has been proposed by Krohn et al. (IEEE S&P ’04), which employs a classical homomorphic hash function. However, this technique is difficult to be applied…

Effective Pattern Discovery for Text Mining

Data mining, Web | Desktop Application
Effective Pattern Discovery for Text Mining Many data mining techniques have been proposed for mining useful patterns in text documents. However, how to effectively use and update discovered patterns is still an open research issue, especially in the domain of text mining. Since most existing text mining methods adopted term-based approaches, they all suffer from the problems of polysemy and synonymy. Over the years, people have often held the hypothesis that pattern (or phrase)-based approaches should perform better than the term-based ones, but many experiments do not support this hypothesis. This paper presents an innovative and effective pattern discovery technique which includes the processes of pattern deploying and pattern evolving, to improve the effectiveness of using and updating discovered patterns for finding relevant and interesting information.

Data leakage Detection

Security and Encryption, Web | Desktop Application
Data leakage Detection While doing business, sometimes sensitive data must be handed over to supposedly trusted third parties. For example, a hospital may give patient records to researchers who will devise new treatments. Similarly, a company may have partnerships with other companies that require sharing customer data. Another enterprise may outsource its data processing, so data must be given to various other companies. We call the owner of the data the distributor and the supposedly trusted third parties the agents. Our goal is to detect when the distributor’s sensitive data has been leaked by agents, and if possible to identify the agent that leaked the data. We consider applications where the original sensitive data cannot be perturbed. Perturbation is a very useful technique where the data is modified and made…
