Abstract

In modern computing, multitasking is the most favorable aspect. An un-pipelined instruction cycle (fetch-execute cycle) CPU processes instructions one after another increasing duration at lesser speed in completing tasks. With pipelined computer architecture, unprecedented improvement in size and speed are achievable. This work investigates the possibility of a better improvement to computer architecture through understanding the inner workings of instruction pipelining in operating system. A design of a 5 stage pipelined architecture simulator for RiSC-16 processors using Visual Basic programming has been achieved contrary to the common available four stage simulators. The simulator also future two most common pipeline instruction hazards generally missing in most available simulators. Thus, the designed simulator becomes an appropriate tool for understanding the concept of pipelining on a step-by-step visualization based instructioncycle processors hence facilitating a more efficient design in computer architecture. The simulator has been evaluated based on its closeness to real time pipelined computer architecture and through execution of all 8 basic RiSC-16 instruction set with data dependency and control hazard.

Abstract

Cloud Computing is an emerging technology nowadays. Due to the accessibility, availability, and cost effectiveness, cloud computing has became essential computing system in both, private and public sectors. However, secure data transfer is still a big question where transferring link between user and server are not stabilized yet. As a result, many cloud users lost their valuable data. However, this paper proposes as integrated service of Advanced Quantum Cryptography with Cloud Computing. To ensure the secure Cloud Environment between sender and receiver, Quantum Cryptography proposes the use of photons and physics to generate cryptographic keys.

Abstract

Objectives: An integrated Fire Detection and Alarm (FDA) systems with building automation was studied, to reduce cost and improve their reliability by preventing false alarm, signal drop and network breakdown. This work proposes an improved framework for FDA system to ensure a robust, intelligent network of FDA control panels in real-time. Methods/ Analysis: In this work, the shortest path algorithm was chosen for series of buildings connected by a fiber-optic network. The framework shares information through the algorithm and communicates with each fire alarm panels connected in peer to peer configuration to declare the network state in every second using network address. The declaration from every building connected to the same network appears on Central Control Room (CCR) for real-time monitoring. Findings: The proposed FDA system is different from traditional fire alarm and detection system regarding topology as it manages a group of buildings optimally and efficiently. The single mode fiber-optic connectivity was introduced to reduce signal noises, thus increasing large area coverage and long-term safety. Also, the distributed peer to peer network was proposed to ensure fire survivability where the information is sequentially transmitted. Based on this proposed method a prototype system was designed to validate the performance, where the prototype showed a positive response concerning time consumption and real-time monitoring process than traditional. Improvement: The proposed FDA system got improvement, by consistent network state monitoring framework, fast, reliable connectivity with variable changes possibility and easy maintenance process for increasing robustness and intelligence.

Abstract

Objectives: The goal of this paper is to comprehend the significance of adopting Cloud Computing (CC) in establishments of higher learning. This paper plots a portion of the advantages that can be conveyed to advanced education by means of cloud computing, analyzes probably the most imperative difficulties that can be faced by the academia due to its adoption, and proposes some early strides towards its adoption while alleviating the risks involved. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This paper recognizes an expansiveness of institutional variables and CC appropriation procedures by including the diverse perspectives of sources from various backgrounds and contexts on a single phenomenon. The different aids and contributions in this paper are based on the consolidation of research works available in different papers. Findings: The discoveries from this analysis demonstrate that the adoption of CC in establishments of higher learning can be comprehended through a few factors that have an essential impact on CC adoption methodologies like administrative bodies and governments, internal stakeholders, cloud suppliers, firm attributes, socio-political changes, IT framework, and so on. Applications/Improvements: This investigation offers open doors for future research besides giving an understanding into how cloud suppliers, advisors, governments, and scholastics see diverse market requests, and how they react to these requests while advancing services offered by CC in higher learning institutions. The consequences for practice can help decision makers in adopting services offered by CC legitimately.

Abstract

Objectives: In this paper, an approach to online banking authorization using one-time passwords has been illustrated. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The algorithm presented in this paper provides an infinite as well as forward One-Time- Password (OTP) generation mechanism employing two Secure Hash Algorithms viz. SHA3 and SHA2, followed by dynamic truncation to produce human-readable OTP. An inimitable authentication scheme has been presented in which a unique initial seed is used for generating a series of OTPs on the user’s handheld gadget (i.e. a mobile phone). Findings: The proposed scheme demonstrated better results than the previous schemes of authorization after a security analysis was conducted on it. This is attributed to the eradication of cellular network within the authorization process. A high level of performance and efficiency in authentication and authorization was evident from the results that are vital for transacting online. Applications/Improvements: In the proposed system, the inherent features of the user’s device (mobile phone) are utilized to form the initial seed. The application of hash functions to that seed eliminates the necessity to send one time passwords to the users via Short Message Service and decreases the limitations posed by out-of-band systems, thus making it suitable to be employed in online banking and other financial organizations.
