Applying Spring Security Framework with KeyCloak-Based OAuth2 to Protect Microservice Architecture APIs: A Case Study
2022
In this study, we implemented an integrated security solution with Spring Security and Keycloak open-access platform (SSK) to secure data collection and exchange over microservice architecture application programming interfaces (APIs). The adopted solution implemented the following security features: open authorization, multi-factor authentication, identity brokering, and user management to safeguard microservice APIs. Then, we extended the security solution with a virtual private network (VPN), Blowfish and crypt (Bcrypt) hash, encryption method, API key, network firewall, and secure socket layer (SSL) to build up a digital infrastructure. To accomplish and describe the adopted SSK solutio…
Freshness Indexes of Anchovies and Sardines of Mediterranean Sea
2012
Anchovy (Engraulis Encrasicholus) and sardine (Sardina Pilchardus) are blue fishes linked to our alimentary tradition of Mediterranean. In our work, particularly, we tested for the first time physical and enzymatic methods to verify the freshness of species of blue fish, anchovy and sardine of Mediterranean. In connection with to the lowering of the pH after post-mortem stage we assisted to a increase in proteolytic activity of calpaine and catpsine. Already after 2 h in post- mortem there was a considerable increase.
Inferring Population Structure from Early Life Stage: The Case of the European Anchovy in the Sicilian and Maltese Shelves
2022
The European anchovy is an important fishing resource in the Sicilian Channel that supports a high recruitment success variability. The presence of two spawning areas, the drifting of the larvae along the currents and the different oceanographic conditions within the region suggest the presence of different larvae subpopulations. Morphometric and biochemical approaches have been used to analyze the differences among larvae collected. The amino acid composition discriminates two larval groups closely related to the spawning regions: Adventure Bank and the shelf between the South of Sicily and Malta. In addition, there are morphometric and growth differences between recently hatched larvae in…
Xàtiva en la encrucijada. La cruz del camino de Valencia
2008
Las llamadas cruces de término raramente hacían honor al nombre con el que actualmente las conocemos; rodeaban, eso sí, el espacio habitado, erigiéndose en los principales caminos de "salida" de la población. Xátiva, la segunda ciudad durante el período foral, no se mantuvo al margen de esta costumbre y, aparte de las cruces que se conservan en el Museu de l'Almodí, hubo otras que la custodiaron desde los cuatro puntos cardinales. De todas ellas destaca la cruz del camino de Valencia, excepcional en todos los sentidos, no sólo estilísticamente, como se ha puesto de manifiesto en reiteradas ocasiones, sino también iconográficamente; teniendo en cuenta, sobre todo, que se trata de una de las …
A Proposed Access Control-Based Privacy Preservation Model to Share Healthcare Data in Cloud
2020
Healthcare data in cloud computing facilitates the treatment of patients efficiently by sharing information about personal health data between the healthcare providers for medical consultation. Furthermore, retaining the confidentiality of data and patients' identity is a another challenging task. This paper presents the concept of an access control-based (AC) privacy preservation model for the mutual authentication of users and data owners in the proposed digital system. The proposed model offers a high-security guarantee and high efficiency. The proposed digital system consists of four different entities, user, data owner, cloud server, and key generation center (KGC). This approach makes…
Security of public key cryptosystems based on Chebyshev Polynomials
2004
Chebyshev polynomials have been recently proposed for designing public-key systems. Indeed, they enjoy some nice chaotic properties, which seem to be suitable for use in Cryptography. Moreover, they satisfy a semi-group property, which makes possible implementing a trapdoor mechanism. In this paper we study a public key cryptosystem based on such polynomials, which provides both encryption and digital signature. The cryptosystem works on real numbers and is quite efficient. Unfortunately, from our analysis it comes up that it is not secure. We describe an attack which permits to recover the corresponding plaintext from a given ciphertext. The same attack can be applied to produce forgeries …
Survey: Intrusion Detection Systems in Encrypted Traffic
2016
Intrusion detection system, IDS, traditionally inspects the payload information of packets. This approach is not valid in encrypted traffic as the payload information is not available. There are two approaches, with different detection capabilities, to overcome the challenges of encryption: traffic decryption or traffic analysis. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the research related to the IDSs in encrypted traffic. The focus is on traffic analysis, which does not need traffic decryption. One of the major limitations of the surveyed researches is that most of them are concentrating in detecting the same limited type of attacks, such as brute force or scanning attacks. Both the …
Weighted Fuzzy Clustering for Online Detection of Application DDoS Attacks in Encrypted Network Traffic
2016
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are one of the most serious threats to today’s high-speed networks. These attacks can quickly incapacitate a targeted business, costing victims millions of dollars in lost revenue and productivity. In this paper, we present a novel method which allows us to timely detect application-layer DDoS attacks that utilize encrypted protocols by applying an anomaly-based approach to statistics extracted from network packets. The method involves construction of a model of normal user behavior with the help of weighted fuzzy clustering. The construction algorithm is self-adaptive and allows one to update the model every time when a new portion of network tr…
GPRS Security for Smart Meters
2013
Part 1: Cross-Domain Conference and Workshop on Multidisciplinary Research and Practice for Information Systems (CD-ARES 2013); International audience; Many Smart Grid installations rely on General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) for wireless communication in Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI). In this paper we describe security functions available in GPRS, explaining authentication and encryption options, and evaluate how suitable it is for use in a Smart Grid environment. We conclude that suitability of GPRS depends on the chosen authentication and encryption functions, and on selecting a reliable and trustworthy mobile network operator.
H2S: A Secure and Efficient Data Aggregative Retrieval Scheme in Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks
2009
In unattended wireless sensor networks, data are stored locally and retrieved on demand. To efficiently transmit the collector’s retrieval results, data are aggregated along being forwarded. The data confidentiality and integrity should be protected at the intermediate nodes. End-to-end encryption or hop-by-hop encryption based schemes are not efficient. Straightforward homomorphic encryption based scheme is not compromise resilient. To achieve all the desires, we propose a scheme - H2S by making use of both homomorphic secret sharing and homomorphic encryption. The security and efficiency of our scheme are justified by extensive analysis.
