In such a scenario, user authentication has emerged as a major security issue in mobile internet. To date, password based authentication schemes have been extensively used to provide authentication and security. The password based authentication has always been cumbersome for the users because human memory is transient and remembering a large number of long and complicated passwords is impossible. Also, it is vulnerable to various kinds of attacks like brute force, rainbow table, dictionary, sniffing, shoulder surfing and so on. As the main contribution of this paper, a new passwordless authentication scheme for smart phones is presented which not only resolves all the weaknesses of password based schemes but also provide robust security. The proposed scheme relieves users from memorizing and storing long and complicated passwords. The proposed scheme uses ECDSA which is based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). ECC has remarkable strength and efficiency advantages in terms of bandwidth, key sizes and computational overheads over other public key cryptosystems. It is therefore suitable for resource constraint devices like smart phone. Furthermore, the proposed scheme incorporate CAPTCHA which play a very important role in protecting the web resources from spamming and other malicious activities. To the best of our knowledge, until now no passwordless user authentication protocol based on ECC has been proposed for smart phones. Finally, the security and functionality analysis shows that compared with existing password based authentication schemes, the proposed scheme is more secure and efficient.

The biggest advantage of the cloud computing is the ability to overcome the infrastructural challenges those are earlier faced by other technologies. Since the technology is new, therefore the development of the whole structure is not so efficient. It does have a lot of issues on which various scientists and others are working on. Scheduling, load balancing, fault tolerance, etc. are various challenges faced by cloud computing. For this purpose various techniques and algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, we will discuss the issue of load balancing of cloud computing and we will study the different types of load balancing techniques used in in biomedical services and make a comparative analysis among all the existing techniques.

With the development of new technology of cloud computing which have the ability to provide the software on rent allowed the cheaper medium of services to the customer. In this paper, we will make a survey of the various wheezes detection system that have been used for detecting the chronic disease like asthma. We will also make a comparative study at the end of the paper.

Despite the fact that 3G advances convey essentially higher bit rates than 2G innovations, "LTE" (3GPP Long Term Evolution) got a blast in the field of advancements with new offices like Internet applications or versatile broadband (Voice over IP (VoIP), feature spilling, music downloading, portable TV and numerous others material) all around. It is very much necessary to extract the useful information of the user using LTE technology to understand he performance and durability of this new technology. In this paper we present a novel architecture for mining the data for extracting useful information regarding the success rates of various handoff procedures in LTE technology.

Distributed computing gives the rental support of the client in which a client can utilize the specific programming by paying for that on the cloud server. Since the entire situation is useful for enormous businesses like facebook, google, orkut and so on, different fields are likewise getting reliant on distributed computing. Since huge amounts of information is transferring consistently to the cloud server does should be dug appropriately for productive information stockpiling. In this paper, we attempt to coordinate the information preprocessing strategy with an information grouping method to mine enormous information's of asthma based patients. We have utilized simulation tool called eclipse to run the Programming interface's of weak and cloudsim for setting up the trial environment.

With this increasing global network, electronic communication between devices is becoming wireless and ubiquitous. Also, most of the IoT services will be realized as real time embedded systems which rely heavily on security mechanisms. This makes security imperative to embedded devices in IoT. This paper presents security challenges faced by system designers while designing secure embedded systems. The most difficult task for embedded system security is implementation of Public Key Cryptography (PKC). PKC based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) which uses smaller key sizes is efficient for both private and public operations. Moreover, with IoT several embedded devices are becoming interconnected which makes ECC advantageous when you need to embed security. The comparative study suggests that ECC is best suited for resource constrained real time embedded systems in IoT.

Wireless sensors, due to their wide applicability, form a key component of any complex network. But, security is a major challenge in making wireless sensor networks robust. Many remote user authentication schemes have been proposed for authenticating the legitimate users of a wireless sensor network. Most of the recently proposed schemes are vulnerable to one or more security attacks and are inefficient in terms of processing time. In this paper, the scheme proposed by Xue et al. has been reviewed and it has been found that the scheme is vulnerable to impersonation attack, stolen smart card attack, server spoofing attack. This paper proposes a robust and efficient password based authentication scheme which is secure against all well known security attacks. Moreover, the scheme has a low computation and communication cost and does not suffer from time synchronization problem. A formal security analysis has been performed using AVISPA tool to prove the security of the protocol.

The uncertainty about the severity of the earthquake has a profound effect on the burden of disaster and causes massive economic and societal losses. Although unpredictable, it can be expected to ameliorate damage and fatalities, such as monitoring and predicting earthquakes using the Internet of Things (IoT). With the resurgence of the IoT, an emerging innovative approach is to integrate IoT technology with Fog and Cloud Computing to augment the effectiveness and accuracy of earthquake monitoring and prediction. In this study, the integrated IoT-Fog-Cloud layered framework is proposed to predict earthquakes using seismic signal information. The proposed model is composed of three layers: (i) at sensor layer, seismic data are acquired, (ii) fog layer incorporates pre-processing, feature extraction using fast Walsh–Hadamard transform (FWHT), selection of relevant features by applying High Order Spectral Analysis (HOSA) t...

It frequently results in the loss of life and property. Predicting earthquake is the most important aspect of this field. With the golden age of the Internet of Things (IoT), an innovative new idea is to couple IoT technology with cloud and fog computing to improve the potency and accuracy of earthquake monitoring and forecasting. The embedded IoT-Fog-Cloud layered structure is adopted in this research to predict earthquakes using seismic signal data. This model transfers sensed seismic signals to fog for analysis of seismic data. At fog, Fast Walsh Hadamard transform is used to extract time and frequency domain features and PCA is employed to reduce the dimensionality of feature sets. Random Forest algorithm has been used to classify seismic signals into two different events, viz., earthquake and non-earthquake accompanied by the real-time warnings.
