The paper aims to do a survey along with a comparative analysis of the various cryptography libraries that are applicable in the field of Internet of Things (IoT). The first half of the paper briefly introduces the various cryptography libraries avai
lable in the field of cryptography along with a list of all the algorithms contained within the libraries. The second half of the paper deals with cryptography libraries specifically aimed for application in the field of Internet of Things. The various libraries and their performance analysis listed down in this paper are consolidated from various sources with the aim of providing a single comprehensive repository for reference to the various cryptography libraries and the comparative analysis of their features in IoT.
This paper is a comprehensive survey of the various operating systems available for the Internet of Things environment. At first the paper introduces the various aspects of the operating systems designed for the IoT environment where resource constra
int poses a huge problem for the operation of the general OS designed for the various computing devices. The latter part of the paper describes the various OS available for the resource constraint IoT environment along with the various platforms each OS supports, the software development kits available for the development of applications in the respective OS along with the various protocols implemented in these OS for the purpose of communication and networking.
Enterprise Mobility has been increasing the reach over the years. Initially Mobile devices were adopted as consumer devices. However, the enterprises world over have rightly taken the leap and started using the ubiquitous technology for managing its
employees as well as to reach out to the customers. While the Mobile ecosystem has been evolving over the years, the increased exposure of mobility in Enterprise framework have caused major focus on the security aspects of it. While a significant focus have been put on network security, this paper discusses on the approach that can be taken at Mobile application layer, which would reduce the risk to the enterprises.
All over the world, the population in rural and semi-urban areas is a major concern for policy makers as they require technology enablement most to get elevated from their living conditions. Financial Inclusion projects are meant to work in this area
as well. However the reach of financial institutions in those areas is much lesser than in urban areas in general. New policies and strategies are being made towards making banking services more accessible to the people in rural and semi-urban area. Technology, in particular Internet of Things (IoT) and Mobility can play a major role in this context as an enabler and multiplier. This paper discusses about an IoT and Mobility driven approach, which the Financial Institutions may consider while trying to work on financial inclusion projects.
This paper is a general survey of all the security issues existing in the Internet of Things (IoT) along with an analysis of the privacy issues that an end-user may face as a consequence of the spread of IoT. The majority of the survey is focused on
the security loopholes arising out of the information exchange technologies used in Internet of Things. No countermeasure to the security drawbacks has been analyzed in the paper.
Payment transactions initiated through a mobile device are growing and security concerns must be ad-dressed. People coming from payment card industry often talk passionately about porting ISO 9564 PIN standard based authentication in open-loop card p
ayment to closed-loop mobile financial transactions and certification of closed-loop payment product or solution against this standard. In reality, so far this standard has not been adopted in closed-loop mobile payment authentication and applicability of this ISO standard must be studied carefully before adoption. The authors do a critical analysis of the applicability of this ISO specification and makes categorical statement about relevance of compliance to closed-loop mobile payment. Security requirements for authentication in closed-loop mobile payment systems are not standardized through ISO 9564 standard, Common Criteria, etc. Since closed-loop mobile payment is a relatively new field, the authors make a case for Common Criteria Recognition Agreement (CCRA) or other standards organization to push for publication of a mobile device-agnostic Protection Profile or standard for it, incorporating the suggested authentication approaches.
Digital watermarking is the act of hiding information in multimedia data, for the purposes of content protection or authentication. In ordinary digital watermarking, the secret information is embedded into the multimedia data (cover data) with minimu
m distortion of the cover data. Due to these watermarking techniques the watermark image is almost negligible visible. In this paper we will discuss about various techniques of Digital Watermarking techniques in spatial and frequency domains
Steganalysis means analysis of stego images. Like cryptanalysis, steganalysis is used to detect messages often encrypted using secret key from stego images produced by steganography techniques. Recently lots of new and improved steganography techniqu
es are developed and proposed by researchers which require robust steganalysis techniques to detect the stego images having minimum false alarm rate. This paper discusses about the different Steganalysis techniques and help to understand how, where and when this techniques can be used based on different situations.
Steganography (literally meaning covered writing) is the art and science of embedding secret message into seemingly harmless message. Stenography is practice from olden days where in ancient Greece people used wooden blocks to inscribe secret data an
d cover the date with wax and write normal message on it. Today stenography is used in various field like multimedia, networks, medical, military etc. With increasing technology trends steganography is becoming more and more advanced where people not only interested on hiding messages in multimedia data (cover data) but also at the receiving end they are willing to obtain original cover data without any distortion after extracting secret message. This paper will discuss few irreversible data hiding techniques and also, some recently proposed reversible data hiding approach using images.
This paper presents a spatial encryption technique for secured transmission of data in networks. The algorithm is designed to break the ciphered data packets into multiple data which are to be packaged into a spatial template. A secure and efficient
mechanism is provided to convey the information that is necessary for obtaining the original data at the receiver-end from its parts in the packets. An authentication code (MAC) is also used to ensure authenticity of every packet.
