DES Based Method to Improve Color Image Cryptography

Color image cryptography is one of the popular methods used to protect data from being hacked. In this research paper a novel method of color image cryptography will be introduced, tested and implemented. This method will enhance some features of the DES standard by increasing the level of security and providing a high degree of image protection. Two image_keys will be used to generate two sets of primary keys, the first set will be used to calculate RLDs for each value in the image, the second set will be used to apply XORing operations, the two images must be kept in secret, the user has the ability to replace these images when needed without modifying the method. The proposed method will divide the image to be encrypted (decrypted) into block, the block size is variable and the user must determine the block size. The process of cryptography can be accomplished using a selected number of rounds, the number of rounds is also determined by the user, more number of rounds are needed to optimize the values of MSE and PSNR between the source and the encrypted images. The method will use a variable length private key; this length will depend on the selected number of rounds and the selected block size. The proposed method will be implemented; the obtained results will be compared with DES results to show how the proposed method improves the efficiency of color image cryptography.

Cloud pricing models are essential in the context of the increasing availability of cloud service providers across the Internet and the willingness of users to use high-quality and affordable services. The double-sided combinatorial auction model has been used extensively due to its inherent characteristics. This paper presents a cost-effective pricing method that considers both the forward market and spot market. Moreover, resource requests are workflow or hybrid to support scalability and improve the number of federal cloud response requests. The evaluation results indicate more profit for both buyers and vendors simultaneously. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm reduces the waiting time and the number of pending demands, increasing users' satisfaction relative to cloud services.
Applied Ethics and Digital Information Privacy: Informing the Design of Covid-19 Contact Tracing Apps

To counteract the spread of Covid-19, many countries have introduced mobile applications for contact tracing, which raises considerable questions about how these apps protect users’ information privacy. Through an exploratory analysis of Covid-19 contact tracing apps being used in Australia, France, Germany, Japan, and New Zealand, we identify normative and technical principles for the design of privacy-sensitive contact tracing apps. Based on a Restricted Access/Limited Control (RALC) account of information privacy, we discuss how the apps protect users’ information privacy through limiting access to and allowing users to actively manage their personal information. Our findings illustrate what understanding of information privacy is evident from the various designs of Covid-19 contact tracing apps, and how competing design principles can contribute to users’ information privacy. From a practical perspective, our findings can inform the design of contact tracing apps and the development of privacy approaches that can be applied in particular contexts. Our work thus bridges the gap between ethical design guidelines and technical analyses of specific implementations.

From Fully Trained to Fully Random Embeddings: Improving Neural Machine Translation with Compact Word Embedding Tables

Embedding matrices are key components in neural natural language processing (NLP) models that are responsible to provide numerical representations of input tokens (i.e. words or subwords). In this paper, we analyze the impact and utility of such matrices in the context of neural machine translation (NMT). We show that detracting syntactic and semantic information from word embeddings and running NMT systems with random embeddings is not as damaging as it initially sounds. We also show how incorporating only a limited amount of task-specific knowledge from fully-trained embeddings can boost the performance NMT systems. Our findings demonstrate that in exchange for negligible deterioration in performance, any NMT model can be run with partially random embeddings. Working with such structures means a minimal memory requirement as there is no longer need to store large embedding tables, which is a significant gain in industrial and on-device settings. We evaluated our embeddings in translating English into German and French and achieved a 5.3x compression rate. Despite having a considerably smaller architecture, our models in some cases are even able to outperform state-of-the-art baselines.

DISTANCE LEARNING IN THE PANDEMI COVID-19 SITUATION: EFL LEARNING UNDER INDONESIA'S HEALTH PROTOCOL

ABSTRACTThe implementation of the Distance Learning policy in all schools in Indonesia due to the Covid-19 outbreak has affected the teaching process. This quantitative research elucidates how EFL teaching and learning cope with the procedure. Two aspects will be illuminated in this research; the first is how schools and teachers prepare for online-based distance learning. The second is how the learning process conducts during the distance learning policy. This research collected data from 167 participants, including vice principals, EFL teachers, IT operators, and students from senior high schools in Palu, Central Sulawesi Provinces. The data was analyzed following the Illuminative Evaluation model by Parlett and Hamilton. The results found that schools and teachers are more well-equipped and prepared than the students. However, some students still face difficulties due to the absence of facilities and geographical situation. In the learning process, more flexible policies in class are still implemented by teachers, especially for students with limited access and lack of affective aspects.
