Outlier detection for keystroke biometric user authentication.

User authentication is a fundamental aspect of information security, requiring robust measures against identity fraud and data breaches. In the domain of keystroke dynamics research, a significant challenge lies in the reliance on imposter datasets, particularly evident in real-world scenarios where obtaining authentic imposter data is exceedingly difficult. This article presents a novel approach to keystroke dynamics-based authentication, utilizing unsupervised outlier detection techniques, notably exemplified by the histogram-based outlier score (HBOS), eliminating the necessity for imposter samples.

Robust 3D object watermarking scheme using shape features for copyright protection.

This article utilizes the discrete wavelet transformation to introduce an advanced 3D object watermarking model depending on the characteristics of the object's vertices. The model entails two different phases: integration and extraction. In the integration phase, a novel technique is proposed, which embeds the secret grayscale image three times using both the encrypted pixels and the vertices' coefficients of the original 3D object.

Causes and Pattern of Chest Trauma Among Adults: A Scoping Review of Studies From the Middle East.

Chest trauma incidence is increasing worldwide, and it requires attention as it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Worldwide, chest trauma is the second most common cause of mortality and a major cause of disability and hospitalization. Our main aim is to systematically review the prevalence, pattern, causes, manner, morbidity, and mortality of chest trauma in the Middle East among adults.

Hash-MAC-DSDV: Mutual Authentication for Intelligent IoT-Based Cyber-Physical Systems.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) connected in the form of Internet of Things (IoT) are vulnerable to various security threats, due to the infrastructure-less deployment of IoT devices. Device-to-Device (D2D) authentication of these networks ensures the integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of information in the deployed area. The literature suggests different approaches to address security issues in CPS technologies.

The sensitivity and specificity of COVID-19 rapid anti-gene test in comparison to RT-PCR test as a gold standard test.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a modern infectious disease, first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The etiology is via severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), in a pandemic manner. The study aimed to compare between RT-PCR and rapid anti-gene tests for COVID-19 with regard to sensitivity and specificity.
