SpiralSRA: A threat-specific security risk assessment framework for the cloud
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)Conventional security risk assessment approaches for cloud infrastructures do not explicitly consider risk with respect to specific threats. This is a challenge for a cloud provider because it may apply the same risk ... -
Stateless Security Risk Assessment for Dynamic Networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)Emerging networking technologies, such as cloud and Software Defined Networking, provide flexibility, elasticity and functionalities to change the network configurations over time. However, changes also impose unpredictable ... -
Substring search over encrypted data
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Our data, be it personal or professional, is increasingly outsourced. This results from the development of cloud computing in the past ten years, a paradigm that shifts computing to a utility. Even without realizing it, ... -
Survey of Information Visualization Techniques for Enhancing Visual Analysis
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)Visualization of data helps to transform a problem into a perceptual task that is easier to comprehend. It helps users to perceive patterns from large amount of data in order to make informed decisions. When visualization ... -
Systematic identification of threats in the cloud: A Survey
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)When a vulnerability is discovered in a system, some key questions often asked by the security analyst are what threat(s) does it pose, what attacks may exploit it, and which parts of the system it affects. Answers to those ... -
Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy based power system fault section diagnosis models via genetic learning adaptive GSK algorithm
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)To effectively deal with the operating uncertainties of protective relays and circuit breakers existing in the power system faults, an improved fault section diagnosis (FSD) method is proposed by using Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy ... -
A Testbed Implementation of a Biometric Identity-Based Encryption for IoMT-enabled Healthcare System
( Association for Computing Machinery , 2021 , Conference Paper)Historically, health data was stored locally on the hospital's server as patient health records, and we had to rely on the planned check-up during doctor's visits. Now, we can monitor health continuously and in real-time. ... -
The role of EEG and EMG combined virtual reality gaming system in facial palsy rehabilitation - A case report
( Churchill Livingstone , 2019 , Article)Background The recovery rates for facial palsy are usually excellent; however, regularly patients present with problems with their fine facial movements that affect their emotional expressions. Objective To discover the ... -
The similarity-aware relational intersect database operator
( Springer International Publishing , 2014 , Conference Paper)Identifying similarities in large datasets is an essential operation in many applications such as bioinformatics, pattern recognition, and data integration. To make the underlying database system similarity-aware, the core ... -
The simultaneous impact of EV charging and PV inverter reactive power on the hosting distribution system's performance: A case study in kuwait
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)Recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have become an increasingly important topic in the field of sustainable transportation research, alongside distributed generation, reactive power compensation, charging optimization, and ... -
Threat-specific security risk evaluation in the cloud
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)Existing security risk evaluation approaches (e.g., asset-based) do not consider specific security requirements of individual cloud computing clients in the security risk evaluation. In this paper, we propose a threat-specific ... -
ThreatRiskEvaluator: A Tool for Assessing Threat-Specific Security Risks in the Cloud
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Conference Paper)In cloud computing, security risks posed to individual clients are different based on their specific security requirements. In current practice, cloud providers usually apply generic protection mechanisms that may not be ... -
