CONSTRUCTION OF AN IMPROVED ENCRYPTION SCHEME ON GENERALIZED SUZUKI 2-GROUPS IN THE MST3 CRYPTOSYSTEM
Authors: Kotukh Yevgen , Khalimov Hennady , Korobchynskyi Maksym
Published: January 2024

This paper proposes a method for constructing an improved encryption scheme on generalized Suzuki 2-groups for the MST3 cryptosystem, which improves the security parameters of the original approach.

The challenge of improving existing cryptosystem design approaches is driven by advances in building quantum computers with sufficient computing power to render many public-key cryptosystems insecure. In particular, this includes cryptosystems based on the factorization problem or the discrete logarithm problem, such as RSA and ECC. There have been several proposals in the past two decades for using non-commutative groups to create quantum-resistant cryptosystems. The unsolvable word problem is a promising area of research for building cryptosystems. It was formulated by Wagner and Magyarik and lies in the realm of permutation groups. Magliveras proposed logarithmic signatures, which are a special type of factorization that applies to finite groups. The latest version of this implementation, known as MST3, is based on the Suzuki group. In 2008, Magliveras demonstrated a transitive LS limit for the MST3 cryptosystem. Later, Svaba proposed the eMST3 cryptosystem with improved security parameters, achieved by adding a secret homomorphic cover. In 2018, T. van Trung proposed an MST3 approach using strong aperiodic logarithmic signatures for abelian p-groups. Kong and his colleagues conducted an extensive analysis of MST3 and noted that, since there are currently no publications on the quantum vulnerability of the algorithm, it can be considered a candidate for use in the post-quantum era. The first implementation of the cryptosystem on the generalized Suzuki 2-group does not provide encryption of the entire Suzuki 2-group and does not protect against attacks with sequential key recovery by the brute-force method. Further work has developed the idea of public cryptography using non-Abelian refinements of parameters. This paper proposes a method for constructing an encryption scheme on Suzuki 2-groups that improves the security parameters of the existing MST3 cryptosystem and solves its security problems.
THE METHOD OF EXCLUSION OF KNOWN SIGNALS WHEN SCANNING A SPECIFIED RADIO RANGE
Authors: Laptiev Oleksandr , Zozulia Serhii
Published: January 2024

Obtaining access to information using the means of obtaining information secretly remains relevant at the present time. This is due to significant advantages, which include the impossibility of identifying a specialist who is doing listening or video monitoring of the premises. The specialist is located at a distance from this room. The integrity of the information, because the information comes from the original source. Therefore, the problem of detecting radio signals of means of covertly obtaining information is an urgent scientific task. This work is devoted to the problem of reducing the time of detection of signals of means of covertly obtaining information.
The detection of radio signals of the means of covert information acquisition is burdened by the fact that the means of covert information acquisition of the new generation work in a fully permitted radio range and their detection in a room bordering on other, filled radio devices is problematic. Now almost the entire available radio frequency spectrum is involved in the work of various radio transmitters. This complicates the detection of radio signals of means of covertly obtaining information, especially in large cities.
We are working on the development of a method for removing known signals, which allows, unlike existing methods, to take into account known signals even at the conversion stage. The conversion process is a necessary process in the operation of automated radio signal detection complexes. It is applied at the first stage, even before the signal detection process. This gives a great advantage, in terms of time, by about two times reducing the time of searching for random radio signals. This makes it possible to detect pulsed radio signals of short duration, that is, to detect radio signals of pulsed means of covertly obtaining information, and to partially solve the scientific task of detecting pulsed means of covertly obtaining information that work in rooms where information with limited access is processed.
The direction of further research is the development or improvement of methods and algorithms for determining by automated complexes the signals of means of covertly obtaining information, which work under the cover of radio frequencies authorized to work in this radio range.
METHOD OF LOW-RESOURCE HASHING TYPE "DATA – GENERATOR"
Authors: Seleznov Vitalii , Luzhetskyi Volodymyr
Published: January 2024

Creating a secure and efficient structure of a cryptographic algorithm is one of the key cryptographic tasks. Recently, cryptography for low-resource devices has attracted considerable attention of world scientists. A significant portion of the research is dedicated to the examination of block encryption methods, and conversely, there are notably fewer publicly disclosed proposals for low-resource hashing methods. Many hash functions recommended for use in low-resource devices by well-known standardization organizations are based on block encryption, which offers a sufficient level of security but demands substantial computational resources—something critical for their application in such devices. The urgency of investigating low-resource data hashing methods stems from the need to guarantee an adequate level of hash function security while minimizing computational resource usage through adjustments to the hashing process. This article reviews established approaches to constructing hash functions of varying complexities and examines the latest research and publications focused on low-resource hashing. Based on this, the structure and approach for developing a low-resource data hashing method were chosen. A novel low-resource hashing method, founded on the Merkle-Damgård construction and utilizing an iterative byte-oriented approach, is introduced. The process of low-resource hashing, according to the new method, is formally described. Statistical testing of the proposed method was conducted in accordance with NIST SP 800-22. An overview of the hardware implementation of the proposed low-resource hashing method is presented in the form of a generalized structural diagram. The complexity of the proposed hardware implementation is quantified in conventional units [GE] for hash value calculations of 128, 192, and 256 bits. A comparison of the proposed "data-generator" type hashing method with established low-resource hash functions, in terms of hardware costs, is conducted.

Authors: Petriv Petro , Opirskyy Ivan
Published: January 2024

In today's digital environment, the security of web resources is of primary importance due to the constant increase in the number of web vulnerabilities. This creates potential risks for users and businesses. In this context, standards and methodologies for detecting web vulnerabilities serve as a key tool in their identification and elimination. The two leading standards in this area, OWASP Top 10 and CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration), provide detailed recommendations and overviews of common vulnerabilities. However, they differ in their approaches to vulnerability classification and assessment. This article focuses on an in-depth analysis and comparison of these standards, identifying their advantages and limitations. The main goal is to develop recommendations to optimize the use of these standards, adapted to the specific needs of organizations, to ensure a higher level of security of web resources.

This article uses a quantitative approach with the type of experimental research that discusses how to increase students' interest in learning Arabic using secret box media. The accuracy of using learning media will affect the achievement of learning objectives. Learning Media has an important role in the learning process including; Overcoming the limitations of space, time and sensory power, can overcome the passive nature of students appropriately and varied because it is directly interactive between students and the media, and can attract students' attention in the learning process. One of the media that has been extensively tested to attract someone's interest in learning a language is the media secret box. By using this media, it is expected to be able to overcome learning difficulties, increase memory, increase understanding, and foster a sense of fun about what is being learned. After being tested with IBM SPSS 25, it can be concluded that there is a difference between increasing student learning outcomes by using secret box media in the learning process.
Case study: an evaluation of the comprehensibility of information security policies in a South African bank.
Authors:   , Razack Riyadh Sayed
Published: January 2024

Information security policy and its resultant implementation is seen as pivotal in organisations that want to protect their information both internally and externally. Employees are relied heavily upon to read and understand and therefore comply with the information security policy including all its principles. The study has used readability and comprehension tests to assess the policy to analyse what the minimum required reading level is, how much abbreviations and jargon are contained therein. Employees were surveyed to understand the implications of security policy on them, the study utilised interviews of staff and asked questions pertaining to awareness, ideal ways to eradicate jargon and technical terms as well as views around security policy implementation. Ultimately directing implications around improvements to be made, but not limited to the removal of jargon and technical terms. Further to this, recommendations are detailed for policy writers and implementors, as well as critical success factors for ISMS managers and security specialists who are tasked with crafting policy, embedding this through the organisation and ensuring staff comply and adhere to organisational information security strategy. A conceptual multidimensional framework to coordinate the significant outcomes identified in the study is also developed to enable robust information security design, and monitoring. Within the context of the study a number of important and noteworthy outcomes have been established. Any conceptual framework must provide a dimension to remediate the readability challenges. The other established outcome pertains to awareness and socialisation/training pertaining to policies, where respondents did not believe awareness of information security policies were adequate and accessibility was viewed as problematic, this was confirmed by the interviews where most staff did not know where to locate information security policy/ies. Respondents did not feel included in the development of policy and accompanying improvement mechanisms and consequently any conceptual framework which does not incorporate users is inherently flawed.
Examining container handling equipment to reduce port congestion at Durban Container Terminal.
Authors:   , Naicker Rowen
Published: January 2024

Port congestion has become a major problem around the Durban Container Terminal (DCT) precinct and investors and key stakeholders have raised concerns and expressed their frustration over the poor productivity and capacity limitations. The aim of this study was to examine container handling equipment that should reduce port congestion at the DCT. The objectives are: 1) to examine the productivity of the DCT in comparison to other ports nationally and internationally; 2) to examine the performance of current container handling equipment used at the DCT and 3) to examine and compare the costs and productivity of using a Rubber Tyre Gantry (RTG) system versus Straddle Carrier (SC) system at the DCT. This desktop study collected and analysed secondary data on container handling productivity and costs of the container handling equipment used at the DCT. Cost effective analysis was applied to the available equipment data and associated costs were retrieved and studied. A compound interest formulae and inflation calculator were used to convert all costs to their 2021 approximate values. The performance results between 2015 to 2020 showed that the DCT was performing poorly. The DCT, Pier 1 and Pier 2 use RTG and SC respectively. RTGs performed exceptionally well compared to SCs. Examining the advantages and disadvantages of the RTG and SC showed that the RTG was the preferred option. Although RTGs were more expensive to purchase and operate, the SCs were costlier to maintain. Analysis of the equipment used by leading container ports shows that top ports have adopted the RTG system and that 2018 and 2019, more RTGs were purchased than Rail Mounted Gantrys (RMGs) and SCs combined by major ports globally. The results indicate the most viable option would be for the DCT to adopt a RTG system of operation due to its high efficiency levels and cost effectiveness.
Exploring the financial knowledge culture and behaviour of millennial and generation Z’s: a case study of employees at Astel Systems (Pty) Ltd.
Authors:   , Ngwenya Tony
Published: January 2024

Millennials are currently the largest generational cohort in many countries, and Generation Z are fast approaching. The financial wellbeing of these cohorts is imperative to global financial success and wellbeing. This study was conducted with the aim of exploring the financial habits and knowledge of two generational cohorts by assessing the personal savings and investment behaviours. Further, the study aimed to analyse the spending habits and financial goals of millennials and GenZ. Lastly, the study was implored to determine what strategy could be undertaken to improve the spending and savings habits, and the financial knowledge possessed by these two generations. The most appropriate research methodology to adopt was a qualitative approach, and employed 12 respondents, split equally between the two generational cohorts. Semi structured interviews were conducted with each respondent. By using a thematic approach to the study, significant themes presented themselves, aiding to meet the research objectives. Prevalent themes that emerged included saving patterns and budgeting, investment views and practices, the influence of financial technology and digitisation on saving behaviour, spending habits, financial well- being aspirations and the influences on financial acumen. The findings have found that both cohorts exercise savings habits at either the beginning or the end of the month, however more millennials have a strict savings plan as compared to GenZ. The responses also highlighted that both generational cohorts place emphasis on home ownership in affluent areas. 83% of respondents are risk adverse and choose to hold safer rather risky investments. The study also concluded that millennials are more financially committed than GenZ and have accumulated debt at a younger age in terms of a bond or vehicle finance. Several recommendations were made, including make use of a strict monthly budget, diversifying investment portfolios with the assistance of financial advisors, and Government intervention to reduce interest rates and offer housing subsidies to younger generational cohorts that wish to purchase homes.

النظرية الاجتماعية الخضراء بوصفها جسرًا بين العلوم الاجتماعية والعلوم الطبيعية
Authors: احجيج حسن
Published: January 2024

يهدف المقال إلى إبراز الدور المركزي الذي يمكن أن تلعبه النظرية الاجتماعية الخضراء في تقديم إجابات ملائمة عن الأسئلة المتعلقة بالتفاعلات بين البشر ومجالهم الطبيعي، ودور التفاعلات في التدهور البيئي الخطير والمتسارع الذي يعرفه العالم اليوم. ويجادل المقال بأن النظرية الاجتماعية التقليدية تفشل في توفير تفسيرات ملائمة لهذه الظاهرة البيئية بالنظر إلى اعتمادها، إبستيمولوجيًّا، على الثنائيات الغربية التي تفصل أنطولوجيًّا بين المجتمع والطبيعة، بين الثقافة والطبيعة، بين الخارج والداخل. ومن ثمة فإن النظرية الاجتماعية الخضراء تُعدُّ مصفوفة مفاهيمية بديلة يمكنها أن تساعد على فهم التدهور البيئي الراهن من خلال إعادة التجسير بين الطبيعة والمجتمع، ومن ثم التجسير بين العلوم الطبيعية والعلوم الاجتماعية من خلال تطوير مقاربة متعددة التخصصات مندمجة وتكاملية. لتحقيق هذا الهدف، يناقش المقال التقابلات المتفرعة عن ثنائية المجتمع والطبيعة، ويعرض السياق الفكري والسياسي الذي نشأت فيه النظرية الاجتماعية الخضراء، ثم يفحص المبادئ الرئيسة التي ترتكز عليها النظرية الاجتماعية الخضراء.
الاستعارة: من الكلمة إلى الخطاب
Authors: الصقر غصاب منصور علي
Published: January 2024

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة الاستعارة، وتبيان كيفية انتقالها من الكلمة المفردة إلى الجملة، حتى وصلت إلى الخطاب، وتجاوزها الرؤية التركيبية والدلالية إلى التداولية. ويتمثل إشكال البحث في سؤال رئيس، هو: كيف انتقلت الاستعارة من الرؤية التركيبية والدلالية إلى الرؤية التداولية؟ وقد توصلنا في نهايته إلى أنَّ الاستعارة تجاوزت الرؤية التركيبية والدلالية إلى الرؤية التداولية، وانتقلت من الاعتماد على الكلمات المفردة إلى الجملة فالخطاب؛ فأضحت نشاطًا لغويًا يستدعي حضور المتكلم والمخاطب والسياق، في عملية التواصل، وجزءًا من البنية التصورية للإنسان، ووسيلة معرفية وإدراكية؛ إذ إنَّها تتيح فهم شيء ما وتجربته انطلاقًا من شيء آخر، ذلك أنَّ الألفاظ المجردة قد لا تفهم على حقيقتها التي وجدت عليها، أو قد يكون فهمها على هذه الصورة ناقصًا، ولكن الاستعارة تجعلها محسوسة ومدركة، مما يسهل فهمها، والإحاطة بدلالاتها، فتصبح حيوية ومؤثرة في المتلقي أكثر.

BIM Sociotechnology: Situational Awareness as a Strategy for Enhancing Collaboration in BIM-Enabled Education within the GCC Context
Authors: Atour Raya Mahmoud , Ahmad Ahmad Mohammad
Published: January 2024

The education and industry of architecture and engineering disciplines are being transformed by Building Information Modelling (BIM) through digitization. Recent literature shows that BIM is in reality 90% sociology and 10% technology, despite the perception that it is 90% technology and 10% sociology. Without social interventions within technological models, barriers and limitations that are evident in the social culture of an institution could result in being reflected in dead-ended technical and technological structures and solutions. For this, concepts of social sustainability and cultural resilience are promoted by proposing socio-technical solutions relying on the theoretical model of Situational Awareness (SA) as a cornerstone in this research. The investigation method on the link between BIM-enabled Education and SA is done through multiple interviews within the academic sector of multiple educational institutions within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The results of this study could design a preliminary framework for approaching technical solutions to social dilemmas and thus help in enhanced implementation and collaboration in BIM-enabled education in the GCC.
Qurʾānic Studies and Natural Sciences: A Methodological Interdisciplinary Approach and its Intellectual Gains
Authors: Darzi Ghasem
Published: January 2024

The interdisciplinary relationship between Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences has a long history, but it has always been challenging due to the significant differences in epistemology, language, and methodology. These fundamental differences make interdisciplinary research between these two paradigms complicated. A methodological approach to the most important types of relations between these two paradigms can make this complex path smoother and reduce the epistemological errors of research. In this study, we will first explore the concept of methodological interdisciplinarity by examining the theoretical literature produced by experts in interdisciplinary studies. Next, using a descriptive-analytical method, we will examine the most significant interdisciplinary research in the field of Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences. By categorizing and ranking these studies, we will identify and introduce three intellectual achievements–methodological interdisciplinarity aims to improve the quality of results by borrowing methods or concepts from other disciplines to test hypotheses, answer research questions, or develop theories. Based on the degrees of integration and the relation between Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences, the following three main achievements can be listed: First, developing theological insights for the Qurʾān. Secondly, generating exegetical insights for Qurʾānic commentators. Thirdly, generating new perspectives in natural sciences. In this way, the main achievement of interdisciplinary integration belongs to Qurʾānic studies in the first two types, while the third type generates new perspectives in natural sciences.

O SACERDÓCIO GERAL COMO FERRAMENTA DE REAVIVAMENTO DA IGREJA CRISTÃ
Authors:   , Corbellini Luis Felipe
Published: January 2024

O sacerdócio está presente por toda a Bíblia, o antigo testamento possui exemplos de pessoas fiéis a Deus que exerceram um sacerdócio mesmo antes de este ser propriamente instituído, como lemos no livro de Êxodo. O sacerdócio universal, apesar de ser um tema presente por toda a Bíblia, foi explicado de maneira sistemática pelo reformador Martin Lutero no século XVI, que percebeu este como a solução para o problema das divisões entre estamento secular e espiritual na igreja de sua época. O assunto do sacerdócio era tão importante para Lutero, que ele não chegou a dedicar uma obra específica ao sacerdócio, mas abordou o mesmo, em muitas de suas obras. Apesar de a compreensão de Lutero acerca do sacerdócio gerar grandes transformações na igreja, levando inclusive a um cisma com a igreja católica, as mudanças não foram eternas, e um século depois, toda a ideia de sacerdócio universal foi deixada de lado. Neste período surgiu Philipp Spener, que seguindo no mesmo caminho de Lutero, desenvolveu uma obra de grande influência, chamada Pia Desideria. Nesta obra Spener faz um apelo para que a igreja olhasse novamente para o sacerdócio, pois este apresentava o papel de todo cristão. O sacerdócio universal vive um vai e vem constante dentro da igreja. Ora é tido como um assunto relevante, e em outros momentos é simplesmente ignorado. Fato é que o sacerdócio, como apresentado tanto por Lutero quanto por Spener, quando exercido pelos cristãos de maneira sincera, gera transformações benéficas não só dentro da igreja, mas também a nível de sociedade.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar critérios e determinar os seus níveis de relevância relacionados as causas da evasão escolar do ensino fundamental e médio. Para isso, buscou-se identificar os principais fatores causais da evasão escolar em uma escola pública estadual do Paraná no período de 2017-2023. Os dados coletados foram tratados a partir da Metodologia Multicritério de Apoio à Decisão Construtivista (MCDA-C). A função de valor foi obtida através do julgamento semântico com a utilização do Software MACBETH (do inglês, Measuring Attactiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique), para fazer comparação da diferença de atratividade entre ações potenciais (Bana e Costa et al., 2016). Verificou-se que os fatores que mais causam impactos na evasão escolar a partir de uma escala de nível hierárquico superior são os critérios econômicos, ambientais e psicossociais. Percebeu-se que cada critério é composto por subcritérios de nível hierárquico inferior a considerar, como a renda, trabalho, infra-estrutura, repetências, desinteresse, entre outros, que representam níveis distintos de significância. Por meio do modelo determinou-se a pontuação global dos critérios e subcritérios mais relevantes ou causadores da evasão escolar.

At the beginning of this new century, scientific analyzes that are concerned with clarifying and therefore warn people about time-related social practices in modern society. In this context, we consider that eating is an activity of everyday life that symbolizes inscription in a culture and constitutes a social practice to be observed. However, this practice is involved in the speed imposed on modern life, making people barely have time to feed. We live under the pressure of the scarcity of time, we are charged to make immediate decisions, in a real fight against the clock - all in the name of the maximum "time is money." Such thinking is sustained in the law that governs capitalism in the established order. Like all the changes that humanity has gone through we realize a reduction in the quality of food and nutritional value of food served daily. The type of fast-food meal has brought such a standardizing impact on society's diet that has brought about in Italy as an attempt to bring everyone a healthier lifestyle focused on food quality and greater awareness in eating, which It's the slow food.

Introduction: S. gordonii are pioneer bacteria which play a vital role in the process of caries formation. As an alternative of caries prevention agent with minimal side effects, a natural plant, namely cinnamon, can be used. The essential oil in cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde and eugenol compounds which have been proven effective in inhibiting bacterial growth. Objective: To determine the effect of cinnamon extract on inhibiting the growth of S. gordonii. Method: The research was carried out using analytical methods in an in vitro laboratory experiment with a posttest only control group design. The sample used in this study was S. gordonii bacteria in Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHIB) media which was incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Determination of the inhibitory power of cinnamon extract is carried out by giving cinnamon extract concentrations of 50%, 12.5%, 3.125%, and 0.78% to each paper disk on agar media. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM SPSS Statistics. Results: The inhibitory power of cinnamon extract concentration groups on the growth of S. gordonii bacteria had a value of Sig = 0.000 (Sig < 0.05) so there is a significant difference in the inhibitory power between cinnamon extract concentration groups. Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that the higher the concentration of cinnamon extract used, the more effectively it can inhibit the growth ofS. gordonii bacteria.

In many parts of the world, industries are more led by male than their female counterpart, but food industries are usually held by female. A widely accepted view is that female leads more in food industry and performs better than their male counterparts. This study therefore focused on effect of gender on performance of food industry in Nigeria, specifically to analyze total factor productivity (TFP) of food industry; determine factor influencing their productivity; and identify gender with better performance and or leads more in food industries. Cross sectional data was used, sourced from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (ES) 2014 and the data set covers food industries. The study included 243 male participants and 29 female participants, with a total of 272 participants. Descriptive statistics, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between performance of food industry and gender in Nigeria. The results revealed that higher employment levels are associated with greater productivity in the food industry 0.889 (0.029). There is no significant relationship between capital investment and sales -0.025 (0.122) and likewise changes in capital investment do not strongly influence sales in the analysis. The mean Total Factor Productivity (TFP) for the male participants was 620.720 (SD=5543.228), while for the female participants, it was 107.860 (SD=569.339). The mean work experience for both genders was similar, with males at 12.216 years (SD=9.449) and females at 11.724 years (SD=9.149) while the mean capacity, representing the potential output, was slightly higher for females (76.138, SD=28.285) compared to males (72.877, SD=27.806). Based on the significant difference in mean TFP between male and female, the study recommended that policy makers should focus on initiatives that promote gender equality and inclusivity in the food industry. Also, given the wide range of TFP values for female participants, it is essential to invest in training and skill development programs to uplift the productivity of women in the food industry and such programs should target both technical and managerial skills.

Quality education is critical to produce a quality generation of the country. However, the quality of Indonesian education is still lagging behind other countries. An analysis is needed to identify student and school factors that affect student achievement. In this study, the student factors were financial literacy ability and parents' educational background. Meanwhile, the school factors were accreditation scores. The data used in this study is the data of Indonesian Student Competency Assessment (AKSI) which is an education monitoring program through a survey using the Multistage Probability Sampling method. Since the data has a hierarchical structure, multiple regression analysis will produce biased parameter estimates. Therefore, multilevel regression analysis was used in the study to solve that problem. The random slope model with interaction is the best multilevel regression model for this study. The quality of schools as described by accreditation scores and students 'abilities in financial literacy, such as students' attitudes before buying goods, the ability of finance, and the intensity in taking financial action have a significant effect on student achievement in mathematics. The educational background of parents also has a significant effect on student achievement. The effect of these variables differs between schools due to the accreditation score of each school.
