Judul: Analisis dan implementasi algoritme RSA secara paralel
Abstrak: RSA is an algorithm for public key cryptography. The advantage of RSA is it is difficult to be attacked. Besides that, RSA has shortcomings. For example, execution time of RSA algorithm is longer than other algorithms like DES and RC6. In this research the RSA algorithm would be parallelized by dividing the data to each processor and the performance of the RSA algorithm would be analyzed. Parallel implementation of the RSA algorithm uses Message Passing Interface (MPI).The objectives of this research is to measure and analyze the performance of parallel RSA algorithm using performance metrics. This research uses eight processors with Windows XP SP 2 as operating system. This research uses ASCII text and binary files for the experiment. The result of this research indicates that the RSA algorithm is good when it is parallelized using domain decomposition method because the RSA algorithm has a long computational process, but it has fast communication time. The best result of parallel RSA algorithm in this research is in decryption process. For example, for file size of 4.204.979 bytes, decryption execution time of sequential RSA algorithm is 4207.286 seconds, whereas using the eight process, respectively is 530.762 seconds. The speedup is 7.929 and the efficiency is 0.991. This result is good because ideally speedup is equal to the number of processors used and optimum efficiency is one. The worst result of parallel RSA algorithm is in encryption process with small file sizes. For example, for file size of 116.820 bytes, encryption execution time of sequential RSA algorithm is 0.292 seconds, whereas using the eight process, respectively is 0.066 seconds. The speedup is 4.419 and the efficiency is 0.567. This is because the RSA encryption in this research has a fast computational process, but it also has big overhead for data communication.

Judul: Analisis dan Implementasi Algoritme Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Secara Paralel
Abstrak: AES is an algorithm for symmetric key cryptography. AES is expected to replace Data Encryption Standard (DES) as a recognized standard for various applications. The complexity of AES encryption and decryption process is O(n), it has fast computation in both encryption and decryption but its execution time will increase as the input data increase. In this research the AES algorithm would be parallelized by dividing the data to each processor (domain decomposition) and by dividing the constituent computing of AES to each processor (functional decomposition), and their performance would be analyzed. Parallel implementation of AES algorithm uses Message Passing Interface (MPI). The objectives of this research are to measure and analyze the performance of parallel AES algorithm using performance metrics. The best result of the parallel AES algorithm in this research is in the decryption process using domain decomposition method. A file with 118.525 MB size has 127.227 seconds decryption execution time using sequential AES algorithm, whereas using 16 processors, its decryption execution time is 34.896 seconds. The speedup is 3.646 and the efficiency is 0.228. This result is not good enough because the speedup is not equal to the number of processors used and the efficiency is below one. This is because the AES decryption in this research has a fast computational process, yet it has a big overhead for data communication. The worst result of the parallel AES algorithm is in the decryption process using functional decomposition method. Using the same file and three processors, the decryption execution time is 168.089 seconds. The speedup is 0.755 and the efficiency is 0.252. This is due to the fact that computing process decomposition is not equally distributed among the processes and the use of MPI blocking communication routine which cause a big overhead for data communication. Both parallel algorithms used in this research are not cost-optimal

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
