A Novel Homomorphic Encryption Technique for Generation of Keys Using Cluster Classification for Cloud Security[ ]


In the past decade, Cloud Security has been the most promising innovation in the computing world. Related with critical data, its usage is still hindered with the concern of security. To bridge the security gap, the most widely used technique is encryption of remotely stored data. The security on cloud is still at big risk due to vast usage of data storage. Computing environments change. This change presents fundamental challenge of outsourcing computation, which motivates the computing power of asymmetry available. In recent computing scenarios clients are trusted (but weak), while computationally strong servers are untrusted. Homomorphic Encryption is a good idea which enhances the security measures of un-trusted systems or applications that stores and manipulates sensitive data proposed on cloud. It is the conversion of data into cipher text that can be analyzed and worked with as if it were still in its original form. It allows complex mathematical operations to be performed on encrypted data without compromising the encryption. This paper presents an effective solution to enhance the security in cloud by using RSA encryption scheme along with clustering of prime numbers for the generation of keys for encryption and decryption. The weakness of RSA lies in the generation of Prime numbers. This is achieved by a new classification technique. By classifying the keys, elimination of redundant messages is done on the same values of the product of two prime numbers. Hence, Security is enhanced.

Heavy Metal in Agricultural Soils in The Sahel Region of Doukkala (Morocco)[ ]


In order to assess the environmental quality of agricultural soils in the region of Sahel of Doukkala, the concentrations of Cd, As, Pb and Zn were determined for a representative sampling point network. The indices relatively related to this assessment (indice of geo-accumulation, contamination factor and pollution load index) were calculated. The results showed high concentrations of cadmium ranging from 3.45 to 4.75 mg/kg. The contamination factor calculated could unveil a high contamination of these soils by cadmium (Cf =12.2 on average) and a moderate contamination by arsenic (Cf = 2.14). This is probably due to the massive and uncontrolled use of agricultural inputs and pesticides practiced in conjunction with highly developed market gardening in the region.

Investigation of Vercital Column Discontinuity in Reinforced Concrete Buildings[ ]


Most reinforced concrete buildings sustain significant damage or completely collapse after an earthquake due to structural irregularities. In this study, a set of investigations were conducted on the discontinuity of the vertical elements in building structures, a topic that to date has only been minimally explored. The investigation was carried out using an SAP 2000 model of an average-story height building with reinforced concrete frame. For analysis, by removing columns selected from certain floor sand axes, a total of seven load-bearing system models were formed, along with the reference model. In cases of discontinuity of the vertical element appearing in the different models, the variation in the internal forces and decrease of rigidity were comparatively analyzed. Additionally, some of the investigations were conducted using the capacity curves obtained from the periods of models, displacement rates, and nonlinear pushover analysis. The consistency and reliability of requirements given for these kinds of irregularities in the regulations were analytically tested against the results obtained from the models created in the study. As a result of the analysis carried out, it was determined that the necessities specified in the Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC – 2007) for these kinds of constructions were safe.
