    SentinelPlus: A Cost-Effective Cyber Security Solution for Healthcare Organizations
    (IEEE, 2021-12-09) Janith, K; Iddagoda, R; Gunawardena, C; Sankalpa, K; Abeywardena, K. Y; Yapa, K
    Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) has proven to be quite lucrative by cybercriminals due to their long shelf life and multiple possible avenues of monetization. These highly sensitive data has become an easy target for cyber attackers due to the poor cyber resiliency strategies exercised by Healthcare Organizations. The reasoning behind the poor cyber security management in the healthcare sector sums to the collective impact of budgetary restriction, lack of cyber security competency and talent in the domain, prioritizing convenience over security, and various work culture malpractices. Further-more, a substantial number of data breaches in the healthcare sector are known to be caused by human errors, security misconfigurations, and information mismanagement. Secondly, the increasing prevalence of ransomware and botnet attacks has hampered the efficiency and availability of healthcare services. As a result, in order to provide a holistic security mechanism, this paper presents "SentinelPlus," a machine learning-based security management suite.

    A new elliptic curve cryptographic system over the finite fields
    (Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, 2017-01-26) Murray, I.; Rupasinghe, P.L.; Priyatharsan, U.
    Security of the information is the main problem in network communications nowadays. There is no algorithm which ensures the one hundred percent reliability of the transmissions. The current society uses the Internet, to exchange information such as from private images to financial data. The cryptographic systems are the mechanisms developed to protect and hide the information from intruders. However, advancing technology is also used by intruders to breach the security of the systems. Hence, every time cryptosystems developed based on complex Mathematics. Elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) is one of the technique in such kind of cryptosystems. Security of the elliptic curves lies in hardness of solving the discrete logarithms problems. In this research, a new cryptographic system is built by using the elliptic curve cryptography based on square matrices to achieve a secure communication between two parties. First, an invertible matrix is chosen arbitrarily in the the field used in the system. Then, by using the Cayley Hamilton theorem, private key matrices are generated for both parties. Next, public key vectors of the both parties are generated by using the private keys of them and arbitrary points of the given elliptic curve. Diffie Hellman protocol is used to authenticate the key exchange. ElGamal plus Menezes Qu Vanstone encryption protocols are used to encrypt the messages. MATLAB R2015a is used to implement and test the proper functioning of the built cryptosystem.
