Evaluating elliptic curve cryptography for use on java card
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2003)Smart cards are used as trusted storage and data processing systems to store cryptographic private keys and other valuable information. Java Card promises the ease of programming in Java to the world of smart cards. ... -
Evaluating techniques of finding a path in a dynamic digital search domain
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2009)Moving from one point to another in an efficient yet effective manner has always been a problem for people. The same problem can be related to mathematical graph theory, where moving from one co-ordinate to another ... -
Fingerprint watermarking using svd and dwt based steganography to enhance security
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2015-09-15)Identification of persons by way of biometric features has evolved significantly over the years. During this time, biometric recognition has received much attention due to its need for security. Amongst the many existing ... -
An implementation and evaluation of PCI DSS 3.0 for E-Commerce in a testing environment
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2015-03)Threats to personal payment card information are continually on the rise. To implement a formal process for protecting this information PCI DSS was created. However credit card fraud is still rising. This leads to the ... -
Improving compliance with Bluetooth device detection
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2015-05)Attributed to Joshua Wright (2012) “Security will not get better until tools for practical exploration of the attack surface are made available”. With Bluetooth enabled but discovery mode turned off, auditing for Bluetooth ... -
Investigation of indoor positioning based on WLAN 802.11
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2013-08)The need for location based services has dramatically increased within the past few years, especially with the popularity and capability of mobile device such as smart phones and tablets. The limitation of GPS for indoor ... -
Lightweight cryptography and authentication protocols for secure communications between resource-limited devices and wireless sensor networks: evaluation and implementation
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2010)This dissertation examines the theoretical context for the security of wireless communication between ubiquitous computing devices and presents an implementation that addresses this need. The number of Resource-Limited ... -
Magnumserver pages: improvements and extensions to java server pages
(Letterkenny Institute of Technology, 2005)Today vast amounts of services and information are provided by the WWW. By its very nature, the information involved is changeable; hence static web pages are no longer adequate and methods of coping with dynamic ... -
