Introduction to Security Risks and Solutions – ADHOC Routing Protocols :

This paper discussed about the security issues in ad-hoc routing protocols and how the process of routing takes place in ad-hoc networks.  Because of the ad-hoc nature of MANETs, proper routing is very important in order to protect against attacks.  There is a need to focus on available security solutions to prevent security risks in ad-hoc networks. 

Overview:

Attacks using impersonation are called spoofing, which hides the real IP address or MAC address and user another one. Falsifying route error messages, route cache poisoning, routing table overflow attack, reply attack and black hole are few of the popular attacks which uses fabrication. Attacks using fabrication are very difficult to detect. There is a need to find a routing protocol which forms routes free from any malicious nodes. A good routing protocol should detect the malicious nodes and need to change the routes accordingly. Route cache poisoning is a passive attack that can occur in DSR. Mainly ad-hoc networks are divided into open, managed-open and managed-hostile environmental categories.

The techniques which helps to enhance the ad-hoc routing protocols are security-Aware ad-hoc routing, secure routing protocol and selfish node. Selfish node is a concept used in open environment ad-hoc networks to avoid maliciously behaving nodes. The monitor, reputation system, path manager and trust manager are the four components which are used to keep network throughput at a maximum. For managed-open environments, secure communications are provided by ARAN protocol. ARAN, Authenticated Routing for Ad-hoc Networks protocol has authentication and transmission phases. 

Conclusions:

In order to make ad-hoc routing more secure, different solutions are available for different environments.  The security level of ad-hoc routing protocols always depends on situation, context and infrastructure availability.  Every security problem in ad-hoc networks has solutions but every solution has its own drawbacks.  The choice of selecting solutions to security problems in ad-hoc networks based on the impact of those security aspects.

Introduction to Brain Computer Interface Seminar Topic:

This paper discussed about how to measure brain function and importance of different neuroimaging modalities. As per researches, the best tool to measure brain function is EEG (electroencephalographic). In this tool, by using both invasive and non-invasive real time techniques, activities from different parts of the brain can be measured.  These EEG signals will get applied to signal processing unit for further processing.

Overview:

The main task involved in this tool is the classification of EEG patterns with respective to its frequency and amplitude in different consciousness states.  EEG signals can be obtained from brain by both invasive and non-invasive techniques. In Invasive technique, EEG signals obtained either with the help of needle electrode or by a chip which implanted in the brain. In non-invasive technique, user needs to wear an electrode cap which records EEG activity from the brain and identify brain waves.

There is no need of any surgery or implantation in this technique.  But in this technique, there are some limitations exist while recording from the scalp using electrode cap. Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP-NN) based method is one of the simpler and most efficient method under EEG classification.  EEG signals are used to control the output devices and this control can be achieved either by using tracking system or software technique.

Conclusions:

In BCI, the machine should learn how to differentiate brain activity patterns and the user should learn how to perform different tasks in order to yield distinct brain signals. In real-time there is a need to execute few tasks by the user for an effective working of BCI and the tasks are like Parameter extraction, pattern recognition and classification and generation of neurofeedback.  EEG patterns characteristic changes can be produced by performing few mental tasks like mental cube rotation or attention versus relaxation.  Initial training, offline analysis and classifier generation, training with neuro-feedback and classifier update are the four steps involved in the whole training process of BCI.

Introduction to Routing Seminar Topic:

This paper discussed about the importance of Routing and multicast routing scheme.  In an inter network, information passed from source to destination node through Routing, which is an important component of communication networks.   Due to limited wireless network bandwidth, energy resources and dynamic topology, multicast becomes the most challenging routing scheme in peer-to-peer or adhoc networks.  Multicast is hard in wired networks when compared to that of unicast routing scheme.

Overview:

Multicast routing scheme supports many envisioned advanced applications like military operations, civil operations and disaster management in peer-to-peer networks.  Tree based and mesh-based are the two categories of adhoc multicast routing protocols.  Only one path exists between the source and receiver in tree based routing scheme.  Multiple redundant paths exist between the source and receiver in mesh-based routing scheme.  Proactive, reactive and hybrid are the three update mechanism categories in multicast routing protocols based on the adhoc routing information.  

In proactive protocol, nodes always evaluate routes to all reachable nodes and maintain consistent routing information.  The proactive protocol is also termed as table-driven protocol.  In reactive protocol, routing information is not maintained at the network nodes if communication is not exist.  The reactive protocol is also termed as on-demand routing.  In order to balance the delay and control overhead, the hybrid routing protocols exists as an advantage of both proactive and reactive routing protocols. In adhoc networks, this paper has compared two on-demand routing protocols like Multicast operation of Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (MAODV) and On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) based on the corresponding routing performance.

Conclusions:

This paper compares two on-demand routing protocols in adhoc network and analyzed the results based on the corresponding routing protocols performance. MAODV is a hard state reactive tree based routing and this protocol uses a broadcast route-discovery mechanism.  ODMRP  protocol is based on a mesh structure and connects the multicast members by using forwarding group nodes concept. ODMRP helps to create and maintain the multicast forwarding state.

Introduction to RFB Protocol Seminar Topic:

This paper discussed about the RFB protocol and defined its various working aspects. Also, this paper defined about the remote computing and remote access. RFB protocol acts as a communication protocol while remote access takes place between client and servers across network. Remote access is possible when client and server communicating by making use of this protocol. RFB protocol working activities are detailed in this paper.

Overview:

RFB protocol has various messages which are send and interpreted by both server and client modules. RFB protocol provides remote access to GUIs. This protocol is applicable to all windowing systems and applications as this works at the frame buffer level. RFB protocol is using in Virtual Network Computing also. Display and Input protocols are the basic parts of RFB protocol. The display part is based on a single graphics primitive and the Input protocol based on a normal workstation model.

In RFB protocol, a thin client protocol, in which there is some communication protocols exist between RFB client and RFB server.  This protocol is designed in a way such that makes a client with fewer requirements.  Because of this the task of implementing a client is very simple. This protocol became very popular after it used in Virtual Network Computing.  This protocol can be extended into new encodings and pseudo encodings.

RFB protocol can operate on either byte-stream or message-based transport channels. This protocol is used over a TCP\IP connection also. This protocol proceeds through three stages like handshaking phase, initialization phase and normal protocol interaction phase. In the first phase, both client and server agree the rules, security and version of communication. In the second phase, client and server exchange the messages. In the final phase, both client and server exchange various other messages which begin with a message-type byte.

Conclusions:

This paper has given and implementation example of RFB protocol for easy understanding of its concepts, also define how program can be execute on a server or client based on this RFB protocol.

This paper discussed about an emerging technology, Brain-computer Interface (BCI).  BCI helps to control remote devices by making use of electrophysiological signals.  BCI consists of electrodes which can apply to the scalp of an individual. These electrodes capture brain’s electrical activity and carry the same to amplifiers, where these amplifiers pass the signal to a computer for processing through an analog to digital converter

Overview:

BCI performs communication and environmental control by providing EEG signal to the computer for processing. In BCI’s considerable amount of time spends on recognition and signal processing and also much complexity involves in the signals carried out by a BCI, so because of these BCI’s are slow in performance when compared to that of human actions. The BCI system takes Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals as inputs and gives control option by its output. The obtained output signals are evaluated as cursor control or prosthesis control. 

BCI provides a communication channel for patients with locked-in-syndrome. BCIs aimed at repairing human cognitive functions. BCI reads electrical signals of human brain activity and translate them to computer understandable digital language and then converted into few actions like turning on a TV or moving a cursor. BCI helps to the patients who cannot perform actions based on the signals from their brain. Apart from medical usage, BCI is also useful for gaming and automobile activities. Few of the technologies used for BCI are neural tissue engineering, robotics and signal processing.

Conclusions:

Mostly the direct communication through EEG takes place in BCI. Signal acquisition, Signal processing, classification and pattern recognition and application are the four main components of a BCI system. BCI creates a direct communication between human brain and external devices.  Neuroprosthetics is a technique using in BCI to control nervous system disabilities.  But there is a need of extensive training on how to use EEG technique in BCI system. BCI environment setup is costly so implementation of BCI system is more cost-effective.
