Multiple Fusions Approach for Keystroke Dynamics Verification System with Soft Biometrics

2020-09-21 , Mohd Noorulfakhri Yaacob , Syed Zulkarnain Syed Idrus , Wan Azani Wan Mustafa , Mohd Aminudin Jamlos , Helmy Abd Wahab M.

Computer security is a process that controls the entire information system, including network, system and hardware. Important information that must be controlled in a system is the data or information contained in a system. Various methods have been used to ensure that only users with legitimate access to data can use a system. Usernames and passwords have been a common practice by many systems as the first requirement to be fulfilled to access the system, but some systems use the secondary verification for additional confirmation. In this article, Keystroke Dynamics has been used as the user's second level authentication for the systems that use the keyboard to login into a system. A common problem of system intrusions is that the system fails to identify the user who signs in using the keyboard when the login is correct. There is a possibility that someone else tries to break into the system. To ensure and improve users' recognition who use the keyboard to enter their logins into the system, Keystroke Dynamics is used as a next-level verification if the login is correct. Soft biometrics is used in the user authentication process using KD method in this study. The soft biometric elements used in this study are culture, gender, educational level (CGPA - Cumulative Grade Point Average) and region of birth (ROB). All of these four soft biometric elements are expected to enhance capabilities in the user authentication process.

Bluetooth Based Indoor Navigation System

2020-09-21 , Uttraphan C. , Abdul Aziz F. , Helmy Abd Wahab M. , Syed Zulkarnain Syed Idrus

The navigation system has been around for many years in terms of map and simple navigation control, and only recently has technology caught up in the idea of the interconnected world, allowing full assist of navigating from one point to another becomes reality. Recently, the architecture of the shopping stores is getting more and more complex and it is hard for the consumers to find their desired store. As the satellite signal cannot be used inside the building, hence, in this project, we propose an indoor navigation system by using the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) signal. The BLE signal is emitted from every BLE beacon in the building and the receiver which is the smartphone will determine which of the beacon is the closest to the receiver and determine the user location. This technique is called fingerprint which is usually used for BLE beacon. The verification tests have been performed in UTHM where the lecture hall complex was used for the test. The results show that the proposed system is able to navigate to the destination accurately.

2020-09-21 , Akila N.F. , M Nasir E.M.N.E. , Fuad N. , Helmy Abd Wahab M. , Syed Zulkarnain Syed Idrus

This paper will do a study about brain, electroencephalograph (EEG) and also brainwriting. There are four types of frequency bands produces by human brain like delta, alpha, beta and theta. Every bands have their own spectrum of frequency where it be used for analysing brain activities. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a method to measure signal by studying and evaluating the pattern of the brainwaves. The neuron will transfer the signals in the brain and the populations of neurons form pattern of network that form a brainwaves detectable in EEG. While graphology analysis is about the handwriting pattern that will illustrate the personality traits of the person. Everything that is written by the hand is processed from brain where is can give certain frequency bands or waveform for the personality.

A Study of Named Data Networking as Communication Protocol for Multi-hop Wireless Ad Hoc Network

2020-09-21 , Muchtar F. , Lukuman Saheed A. , Helmy Abd Wahab M. , Syed Zulkarnain Syed Idrus

Named Data Networking (NDN) has been repeatedly quoted in numerous past and existing literature reviews to have replaced Host Centric Networking (HCN) due to its ability to solve energy efficiency issues inherent in Multi-hop Wireless Ad-hoc Networks (WAHN). However, this claim is proven to be wholly unsubstantiated and is not justified by academic proof in said articles. Therefore, this study take the initiative to fill in this gap by presenting a comparative study of NDN based MWAHN and HCN based MWAHN through the use of real implementation by measuring two parameter metric that are related to energy efficiency, namely energy consumption and file transfer completion time. For this study, NDN-based MWAHN is compared with two type of actively developed HCN routing protocol implementation, namely Babeld and BMX6. The results obtained from this experiment is crucial for MWAHN researchers to gain better understanding of the real potential of the NDN based routing that can be used as a solution for energy consumption issues that exist in wireless multi-hop ad-hoc network.

With the future technology and architecture, the digital musical instruments have been designed into a pack of electronic hardware and software with no strings or animal skins for producing an instruments sound. One of the musical instruments with high interest to learn by a beginner is piano. To solve this problem, this research aimed to design and development of basic digital piano keyboard using FPGA for rapid prototyping. The core of this project is keynotes which is a common input peripheral device that is connected with FPGA which is DE1-SoC-MTL2 and speaker to complete a basic learning system of piano. The architecture is designed using Verilog HDL through the Altera Quartus Prime software. Verilog has been designed to export every 13 keys to 13 certain note then implemented on DE1-SoC-MTL2. The basic system process is a keynote press is needed to activate or produce the certain piano sound. MTL2 used to display a pressed keynote. There are 13 keys in total of piano keynotes for this design where each key represents a different note or frequency to match the existing piano at the present day. The 13 different notes are low octave C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G#, A#, B and high octave C basically for beginner user knowledge. All the components of the system are verified using oscilloscope. This digital piano keyboard designed on FPGA has been implemented for user beginner needs, who want to learn to play piano at very basic stage.

The Combination of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) for Daily Rubber Price Forecasting

2020-09-21 , Jing Jong L. , Ismail S. , Mustapha A. , Helmy Abd Wahab M. , Syed Zulkarnain Syed Idrus

Natural rubber (NR) price is easily affect by the long term and short term exchange rate of developments on supply and demand sides, as well as the effects of exchange rates. Due to the fact that monthly, quarterly, and annually data have underwent the smoothing technique, it may has missed out some of the important characteristics or information describing the rubber price. Since the NR price is changing daily, therefore, this study focuses on the predicting the future daily prices. A combination models of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is proposed in order to capture the future value of NR prices. The experimental results show that the proposed model performs the best whereby it has under predicted by 6.31% with the r value of 0.9976 compared to single ARIMA and SVM models. As the results, the combination model shows to be an effective tools in improving the forecasting accuracy by reducing the model forecast error.

2020-09-21 , Jayeola D. , Sufahani S. , Akinmoji O. , Helmy Abd Wahab M. , Syed Zulkarnain Syed Idrus , Mamat M.

Diversification is a strategic method that investors use to optimize risk of portfolio. It is an opportunity by which investors move from micro-firm into macro-firm. The investors' aim is to make an optimal choice that leads to minimization of risk and maximization of return, but the methods that lead to these objectives are not easily achieved. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to minimize risk of portfolio. Firstly, this paper investigates the risk reduction strength of each asset and secondly, it explores the impact of each asset in minimizing risk of portfolio. The assets allocations divulge by Black Litterman model are used to estimate risk of both portfolios and assets. We explore DataStream (Yahoo finance) of Gold, Oil and Natural gas which spans from January, 2010 to September, 2016. It is observed that investing on Gold minimizes higher risk and achieve more benefits than other assets in the portfolio. In view of these facts, it means diversifying in gold acts as hedge/safe haven for investors during economic crisis.

2020-09-21 , Fuad N. , Rahim A.A. , Marwan M.E. , Helmy Abd Wahab M. , Syed Zulkarnain Syed Idrus

Brain is the most amazing thing that god create, without brain humans are just like living zombies. Brain generate electrical impulse that create brainwave. Therefore, from the brainwave there are four type of spectrum which are Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta. Each spectrum has their own special meaning. For instance, there will be slight change in the brainwave pattern if that person answers a phone call. With the references of previous research, there is radiation in mobile phone that can cause headache. This headache can occur during the phone call. Thus, an experiment based on the different type of phone is conducted. In this research project, the different pattern of brainwave between answering phone call through GSM phone and smartphone are needed. This is to find out which phone give more radiation to the user. This experiment will take placed at one of the laboratories in the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Other than that, 20 subjects are needed for this experiment. The first step of this experiment is to collect data using EMOTIV Insight equipment. Next, the data is process in the SPSS and then, it will transfer to Microsoft Excel for better understanding of the result. In addition, the result obtain from this research project is that GSM phone cause more effect to the subject rather than smartphone. This is why nowadays, most of the people use smartphone compared to GSM phone. This because smartphone is user friendly and have less radiation.
