Data Analytics is at the core of almost all modern ap-plications ranging from science and finance to healthcare and web applications. The evolution of data analytics over the last decade has been dramatic - new methods, new tools and new platforms - with no slowdown in sight. This rapid evolution has pushed the boundaries of data analytics along several axis including scalability especially with the rise of distributed infrastructures and the Big Data era, and interoperability with diverse data management systems such as relational databases, Hadoop and Spark. However, many analytic application developers struggle with the challenge of production deployment. Recent experience suggests that it is difficult to deliver modern data analytics with the level of reliability, security and manageability that has been a feature of traditional SQL DBMSs. In this tutorial, we discuss the advances and innovations introduced at both the infrastructure and algorithmic levels, directed at making analytic workloads scale, while paying close attention to the kind of quality of service guarantees different technology provide. We start with an overview of the classical centralized analytical techniques, describing the shift towards distributed analytics over non-SQL infrastructures. We contrast such approaches with systems that integrate analytic functionality inside, above or adjacent to SQL engines. We also explore how Cloud platforms' virtualization capabilities make it easier - and cheaper - for end users to apply these new analytic techniques to their data. Finally, we conclude with the learned lessons and a vision for the near future.

Currently, more and more malicious insiders are making threats, and the detection of insider threats is becoming more challenging. The malicious insider often uses legitimate access privileges and mimic normal behaviors to evade detection, which is difficult to be detected via using traditional defensive solutions. In this paper, we propose DeepMIT, a malicious insider threat detection framework, which utilizes Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to model user behaviors as time sequences and predict the probabilities of anomalies. This framework allows DeepMIT to continue learning, and the detections are made in real time, that is, the anomaly alerts are output as rapidly as data input. Also, our framework conducts further insight of the anomaly scores and provides the contributions to the scores and, thus, significantly helps the operators to understand anomaly scores and take further steps quickly(e.g. Block insider's activity). In addition, DeepMIT utilizes user-attributes (e.g. the personality of the user, the role of the user) as categorical features to identify the user's truly typical behavior, which help detect malicious insiders who mimic normal behaviors. Extensive experimental evaluations over a public insider threat dataset CERT (version 6.2) have demonstrated that DeepMIT has outperformed other existing malicious insider threat solutions.

The recent events regarding worldwide human health sped up research efforts and resulted in the tremendous development of new technologies and applications. The last decade proved that new technologies find a proper place in worldwide human health and wellbeing, therefore the security of data during wireless transmission in medical facilities and for medical devices has become a research area of considerable importance. To provide enhanced security using conventional visible light wireless communication, we propose in this paper a novel communication protocol based on asymmetric encryption with a private key. We base the wireless communication protocol described in this work on a data encryption method using block chipers, and we propose it for medical facilities and devices with visible light transmission technology embedded. The asymmetric encryption with a private key algorithm, as part of a transmission protocol, aim to assure the security of sensitive medical data during wireless communication.

Chatbots are a computer program that was created to imitate the human during a conversation. In this technological era, humans were replaced by machines for performing most of the work. So chatbots were developed to mimic the conversation a human does with another person. The work a chatbot does ranges from answering simple queries to acting as personal assistant to the boss. There are different kinds of chatbots developed to cater to the needs of the people in different domain. The methodology of creating them also varies depending on their type. In this paper, the various types of chatbots and techniques such as Machine Learning, deep learning and natural language processing used for designing them were discussed in detail.

Key Management in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) still remains an unsolved complex problem. Due to peculiar characteristics of DTN, important challenges that make it difficult to design key management architecture are: 1) no systematic requirement analysis is undertaken to define its components, their composition and prescribed functions; and 2) no framework is available for its seamless integration with Bundle Security Protocol (BSP). This paper proposes a Key Management Architecture for DTN (KMAD) to address challenges in DTN key management. The proposed architecture not only provides guidelines for key management in DTN but also caters for seamless integration with BSP. The framework utilizes public key cryptography to provide required security services to enable exchange of keying material, and information about security policy and cipher suites. The framework also supports secure exchange of control and data information in DTNs.

Trusted collaboration satisfying the requirements of (a) adequate transparency and (b) preservation of privacy of business sensitive information is a key factor to ensure the success and adoption of online business-to-business (B2B) collaboration platforms. Our work proposes novel ways of stringing together game theoretic modeling, blockchain technology, and cryptographic techniques to build such a platform for B2B collaboration involving enterprise buyers and sellers who may be strategic. The B2B platform builds upon three ideas. The first is to use a permissioned blockchain with smart contracts as the technical infrastructure for building the platform. Second, the above smart contracts implement deep business logic which is derived using a rigorous analysis of a repeated game model of the strategic interactions between buyers and sellers to devise strategies to induce honest behavior from buyers and sellers. Third, we present a formal framework that captures the essential requirements for secure and private B2B collaboration, and, in this direction, we develop cryptographic regulation protocols that, in conjunction with the blockchain, help implement such a framework. We believe our work is an important first step in the direction of building a platform that enables B2B collaboration among strategic and competitive agents while maximizing social welfare and addressing the privacy concerns of the agents.

One of the most difficult tasks in networking is to provide security to data during transmission, the main issue using network is lack of security. Various techniques and methods had been introduced to satisfy the needs to enhance the firmness of the data while transmitting over internet. Due to several reasons and intruders the mechanism of providing security becomes a tedious task. At first conventional passwords are used to provide security to data while storing and transmitting but remembering the password quite confusing and difficult for the user to access the data. After that cryptography methodology is introduced to protect the data from the intruders by converting readable form of data into unreadable data by encryption process. Then the data is processed and received the receiver can access the original data by the reverse process of encryption called decryption. The processes of encoding have broken by intruders using various combinations of keys. In this proposed work strong encryption key can be generated by combining biometric and cryptography methods for enhancing firmness of data. Here biometric face image is pre-processed at initial stage then facial features are extracted to generate biometric-cryptographic key. After generating bio-crypto key data can be encrypted along with newly produced key with 0's or 1's bit combination and stored in the database. By generating bio-crypto key and using them for transmitting or storing the data the privacy and firmness of the data can be enhanced and by using own biometrics as key the process of hacking and interfere of intruders to access the data can be minimized.

Recently perceived vulnerabilities in public key infrastructures (PKI) demand that a semantic or cognitive definition of trust is essential for augmenting the security through trust formulations. In this paper, we examine the meaning of trust in PKIs. Properly categorized trust can help in developing intelligent algorithms that can adapt to the security and privacy requirements of the clients. We delineate the different types of trust in a generic PKI model.

Bayesian Network is the popular and important data mining model for representing uncertain knowledge. For large scale data it is often too costly to learn the accurate structure. To resolve this problem, much work has been done on migrating the structure learning algorithms to the MapReduce framework. In this paper, we introduce a distributed hybrid structure learning algorithm by combining the advantages of constraint-based and score-and-search-based algorithms. By reusing the intermediate results of MapReduce, the algorithm greatly simplified the computing work and got good results in both efficiency and accuracy.
