Top Research Papers on Information Security

It is highlighted that blockchain’s structure and modern cloud- and edge-computing paradigms are crucial in enabling a widespread adaption and development of blockchain technologies for new players in today unprecedented vibrant global market.

This paper investigates the effect of exchange-traded funds’ (ETFs’) activity on the short-run informational efficiency of their underlying securities. We find that ETF activity increases short-run informational efficiency for stocks with weak information environments. The increase in informational efficiency results from the timely incorporation of systematic earnings information. In contrast, we find no such effect for stocks with stronger information environments. ETF activity increases return comovement, and this increase is partly attributable to the timely incorporation of systematic ear...

A comprehensive model of relevant management success factors (MSF) for organizational information security shows that there are key-security-indicators, which directly impact the security-status of an organization while other indicators are only indirectly connected.

This work proposes an owner-centric decentralized sharing model for Digital Twin data, and shows how to overcome the numerous implementation challenges associated with fully decentralized data sharing, enabling management of Digital Twin components and their associated information.

Experimental results demonstrate that the suggested watermarking technique archives high robustness against attacks in comparison to the other scheme for medical images, and verification its robustness for various attacks while maintaining imperceptibility, security and compression ratio.

This tutorial argues for the simultaneous pivotal role of fundamental limits and coding techniques for secure communication system design.

The article uses the systematic literature review (SLR) approach to provide significant study on the ransomware attacks as it is the area that requires top most attention in critical infrastructure and the use of machine learning to detect and prevent these attacks.

Experimental results shows that the proposed methods maintain a high quality watermarked images and are very robust against several conventional attacks.

The systematic literature review presented in this paper aims to introduce information security governance as a comprehensive solution for alignment between information security policies and the organization's objectives.

This paper presents a meta-analyses of the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in the context of a distributed system and some of the techniques used to attack these systems have been developed.

This article will analyze and compare the mainstream encryption algorithms of the current mobile Internet and choose a safer and more secure HASH algorithm.

Using the panel data of 66 countries for the period 1996–2019, the current research explores the influences of information and communication technology (ICT) on energy security. We consider the role of financial development, human capital and technological development to explore the channels through which ICT influences energy security. Our empirical results reveal the adverse impact of ICT on energy demand and energy security. In addition, ICT mainly affects energy security through financial development and technological progress. Although human capital can significantly affect energy securit...

Blockchain technology (BCT) could be a supplementary technology that supports the existing information exchange systems and improves the design liability control for contributing stakeholders and the auditability of the exchange records.

The most widely used SIEMs regarding their critical functionality are surveyed and an analysis of external factors affecting the SIEM landscape in mid and long-term is provided.

Smart materials with orthogonal and temporal encryption of information via dynamic assembly-induced multicolor pyrene-based supramolecular systems are successfully developed based on a dynamic Assembly- induced multicolour supramolescular system.

A systematic review of the literature on ISA and a state-of-the-art collection of ISA methods and factors for enhancing employees’ ISA within both private and public sector organisations are put forward.

The performance analysis shows that the proposed work excels, compared to other commonly used algorithms against the health information security at the MCC environment in terms of better performance and auxiliary qualitative security ensuring measures.

The substantial role of informal traders in ensuring food security, and other economic and social goods in South Africa and how they have been impacted by Covid-19 and responses to it are looked at.

The critical roles of SSG and organizational commitment in motivating employees’ compliance behavior are confirmed and self-efficacy exerts a stronger effect on ISP compliance for low-commitment employees than it does for high-commitments.

A secure authentication protocol for a cloud-assisted TMIS with access control using blockchain is proposed and it is shown that the proposed protocol provides more security and has better efficiency compared to related protocols.
