The financial sector is grappling with significant challenges in detecting cyber attacks, leading to potential short- and long-term financial losses for banks and other institutions. The statistical and machine learning methods have been effective in identifying suspicious activities, they have struggled to achieve a balance between recall and precision. To improve accuracy, this paper introduces a novel approach that employs deep learning and bio-inspired algorithms to detect suspicious activities. The proposed model analyzes transactional patterns, quantities, and temporal aspects using a carefully curated dataset of labeled transactions. The model shows promising results in distinguishing between legitimate and fraudulent operations, achieving a balance between recall and precision. Further, many in the industry are transitioning to cloud computing infrastructures to enhance application performance. However, these infrastructures are not ideal for delay-sensitive applications, such as those in the medical and finance sectors. To address communication delays, fog computing has emerged as a new paradigm. The proposed model was simulated using Python and the Google Colab framework, and experimental results shows that improved accuracy and a balanced recall and precision.

Mukesh Kumar, Vivek Bhardwaj, Karan Bajaj, Nandini Modi, Ahmed Qtaishat

Статья научная

This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a Multi-key Multi-modalities Biometric Encryption System designed for business enterprises, leveraging cloud storage for secure and scalable data management. The system integrates multiple biometric modalities fingerprint, iris scan, and face recognition to enhance data security through advanced multi-key encryption techniques, utilizing algorithms such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA). The encrypted biometric data is securely stored in the cloud, providing enterprises with efficient storage solutions. The system's performance was evaluated across several parameters including encryption/decryption time, biometric match accuracy, data transfer speeds, energy consumption, cost, and user satisfaction. The results demonstrate that multi-modal systems offer superior accuracy and security compared to single-modality systems, reducing error rates and enhancing reliability. However, multi-modal authentication incurs higher costs, energy consumption, and slightly longer processing times. Despite these trade-offs, the system achieved high user satisfaction, particularly in high-security environments where data protection is a priority. The findings indicate that the proposed system is a viable solution for businesses seeking a secure, scalable, and efficient method of protecting sensitive data.

Sustainable E-waste Management at Higher Education Institutions’ Data Centres in Zimbabwe

Vusumuzi Maphosa

Статья научная

The study’s objective was to examine the management of data centre electronic waste (e-waste) by Zimbabwean universities to ensure environmental sustainability and reduce the epidemiological effect of indiscriminate disposal of e-waste. The 21st century has seen universities adopting Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to automate processes and support technology-based learning, raising demands for data centre infrastructure to run applications and store data. In developing countries, obsolete ICT equipment is indiscriminately discarded with municipal waste into landfills and often scavenged to extract valuable metals using rudimentary methods such as heating, burning, and leaching, causing environmental and epidemiological crises. E-waste is the fastest growing stream of solid waste that contains scarce rare earth minerals and toxic elements, presenting an opportunity and a crisis during disposal. The study utilised the descriptive study design through a quantitative questionnaire to collect data from ICT Directors and Managers from Zimbabwean universities. Results show that a fifth of the participants had operational procedures for handling e-waste. A tenth of the participants knew of the existence of national policies. Obsolete equipment was kept in storerooms, while some were discarded with municipal trash. Most respondents were aware of the effect of e-waste, which is attributed to responsible management. Most participants redeployed decommissioned data centre equipment to less intense processing environments; 28% had labelled bins and designated e-waste collection points. In reducing their carbon footprint, three-quarters of the participants virtualised servers and stored data on the cloud, and 10% of the institutions practised take-back schemes and located data centres onsite. Universities should legislate the management of data centres to control carbon emissions, energy and e-waste and contribute to green initiatives. Partnerships with developed countries for data centre design and high-end recycling should be encouraged, thus creating employment, generating income for institutions and reducing the epidemiological effects.

Technical Study on Low Power VLSI methods

T.Kapilachander, I.Hameem Shanavas, V.Venkataraman

Статья научная

In recent days every application must need power management. In this paper we presented a various techniques to handle the power management in IC. Power dissipation in a IC is base on power used by the IC and also by heat dissipation. To reduce energy use or to minimize heat dissipation some of the techniques are briefly discussed in this paper. Power management is becoming an increasingly urgent problem for almost every category of design and application, as power density, measured in watts per square millimeter, rises at an alarming rate. Power needs to be considered at the very early stages of a design, when the opportunity to save power is at a maximum. At the same time, making a design extremely power efficient results in trading off area and/or timing. For a Integrated Circuit (IC) perspective, effective energy management for a SoC (System-on-a-chip) must be built into the design starting at the architecture stage; and low-power techniques need to be employed at every stage of the design, from RTL (Register Transfer Level) to GDSII. This paper explains about the combination of techniques used for low power approach in integrated circuits (IC) or Chip

Izzat Alsmadi, Sascha Alda

Статья научная

Software testing in web services environment faces different challenges in comparison with testing in traditional software environments. Regression testing activities are triggered based on software changes or evolutions. In web services, evolution is not a choice for service clients. They have always to use the current updated version of the software. In addition test execution or invocation is expensive in web services and hence providing algorithms to optimize test case generation and execution is vital. In this environment, we proposed several approach for test cases' selection in web services' regression testing. Testing in this new environment should evolve to be included part of the service contract. Service providers should provide data or usage sessions that can help service clients reduce testing expenses through optimizing the selected and executed test cases.

Text to speech synthesis for bangla language

Khandaker Mamun Ahmed, Prianka Mandal, B. M. Mainul Hossain

Статья научная

Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is a rapidly growing field of research. Speech synthesis systems are applicable to several areas such as robotics, education and embedded systems. The implementation of such TTS system increases the correctness and efficiency of an application. Though Bangla is the seventh most spoken language all over the world, uses of TTS system in applications are difficult to find for Bangla language because of lacking simplicity and lightweightness in TTS systems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a simple and lightweight TTS system for Bangla language. We converted Bangla text to Romanized text based on Bangla graphemes set and by developing a bunch of romanization rules. Besides, an xml-based data representation is developed as a feature of the system. It gives the flexibility to modify the data representation, parsing data and create speech based on one’s own dialect. Our proposed system is very lightweight which takes less processing time and produces a good understandable speech.

The Decentralized Shariah-Based Banking System in Bangladesh Using Block-chain Technology

Oishi Chowdhury, Md. Al Samiul Amin Rishat, Md. Al-Amin, Md. Hanif Bin Azam

Статья научная

Shariah-based banking aims to apply Islamic finance while adhering to Shariah principles. The primary distinction between conventional and Islamic finance is that Sharia law explicitly forbids several of the activities and principles applied in conventional banking. According to Sharia law, “Paying or charging an interest (Riba)” lending with interest payments as an exploitative practice that benefits the lender at the expense of the borrower, “investing in businesses engaged in banned activities" like producing and selling alcohol or pork, “speculation or gambling(Maisir)” That means financial institutions are prohibited from participating in contracts where the ownership of goods depends on an unpredictable future event, and Participation in contracts with a high level of risk or uncertainty is referred to as "uncertainty and risk (Gharar)", which are strictly prohibited. As a result, consumers must be aware of whether they are taking Riba, Gharar, Maisir or if their money is invested in a halal firm. Because of its qualities, blockchain would be useful in this situation. This research tries to determine how blockchain technology can be used to make investments and profit or loss returns more transparent, more secure, Immutable and sharia compliant. Blockchain networks can be utilized in the financial industry, such as banking, to provide safe sharia banking.

The Dominance of Organizational Culture towards the Effectiveness of System Based on Islamic Values

Syaifullah, Tengku Khairil Ahsyar

Статья научная

Organizational culture is the dominant value or habit that becomes the driving force for an organization. Values, thoughts, and symbols based on Islam that influence the norms of behavior, attitudes, habits, and habits of a person in various fields become the culture of Islamic organizations that are believed to be true. The fundamental problem in this research is that organizations do not understand what the dominant organizational culture is today, how effective the system users are with these cultural conditions, and whether the current level of effectiveness of the dominant culture follows Islamic values. Previous research shows the relationship between organizational culture and effectiveness, while this study adds new variables, and proves the relationship of organizational culture dominance model with system effectiveness based on Islamic values on practical contribution, and creates a new model on theoretical contribution. The research phase begins with finding the current dominant organizational culture using the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument and the Cultural Values Framework Instrument. Next, look for the relationship between the current dominant organizational culture and the effectiveness of the system by using the Delone and Mclean Is Success Model. Then combine the second model based on Islamic values using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) - Partial least square (PLS). The result of this research is that there is a relationship between the dominance of the current organizational culture and the effectiveness of information systems. This is because the dominant organization is a clan that is familial in reaching an agreement, commitment between members in communicating, increasing the intensity of members in using information systems, systems that are easy to reach and use, and the quality of information systems that are easy, effective, and accountable. Meanwhile, the dominance of organizational culture on the effectiveness of information systems based on Islamic values has not been fully proven. This means that the dominance of organizational culture on the effectiveness of the Islamic values information system still needs to be adjusted to the four indicators on the Islamic values variable showing the closeness of values.
