Publication Embargo Blockchain based Patients' detail management System(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Abeywardena, K.Y.; Attanayaka, B.; Periyasamy, K.; Gunarathna, S.; Prabhathi, U.; Kudagoda, S.In the data technology revolution, electronic medical records are a standard way to store patients' information in hospitals. Although some hospital systems using server-based patient detail management systems, they need a large amount of storage to store all the patients' medical reports, therefore affecting the scalability. At the same time, they are facing several difficulties, such as interoperability concerns, security and privacy issues, cyber-attacks to the centralized storage and maintaining adhering to medical policies. Proposed Flexi Medi is a private blockchain based patient detail management system which is expected to address the above problems. Solution proposes a distributed secure ledger to permits efficient system access and systems retrieval, which is secure and immutable. The improved consensus mechanism achieves the consensus of the data without large energy utilization and network congestion. Moreover, Flexi Medi achieves high data security principles based on a combination of hybrid access control mechanism, public key cryptography, and a secure live health condition monitoring mechanism. The proposed solution results in successfully deployed smart contracts according to the roles of the system, real time patient health monitoring with more scalable and access controlled system. The overall objective of this solution is to bring the entire medical industry into a common platform using a decentralized approach to store, share medical details while eliminating the need to maintain printed medical records.Publication Embargo NoFish; Total Anti-Phishing Protection System(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Atimorathanna, D.N.; Ranaweera, T.S.; Pabasara, R.A.H.D.; Perera, J.R.; Abeywardena, K.Y.Phishing attacks have been identified by researchers as one of the major cyber-attack vectors which the general public has to face today. Although many vendors constantly launch new anti-phishing products, these products cannot prevent all the phishing attacks. The proposed solution, “NoFish” is a total anti-phishing protection system created especially for end-users as well as for organizations. This paper proposes a machine learning & computer vision-based approach for intelligent phishing detection. In this paper, a realtime anti-phishing system, which has been implemented using four main phishing detection mechanisms, is proposed. The system has the following distinguishing properties from related studies in the literature: language independence, use of a considerable amount of phishing and legitimate data, real-time execution, detection of new websites, detecting zero hour phishing attacks and use of feature-rich classifiers, visual image comparison, DNS phishing detection, email client plugin and especially the overall system is designed using a level-based security architecture to reduce the time-consumption. Users can simply download the NoFish browser extension and email plugin to protect themselves, establishing a relatively secure browsing environment. Users are more secure in cyberspace with NoFish which depicts a 97% accuracy level.Publication Embargo SentinelPlus: A Cost-Effective Cyber Security Solution for Healthcare Organizations(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 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.Publication Embargo WANHEDA: A Machine Learning Based DDoS Detection System(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Sudugala, A.U.; Chanuka, W.H.; Eshan, A.M.N.; Bandara, U.C.S.; Abeywardena, K.Y.- In today’s world computer communication is used almost everywhere and majority of them are connected to the world’s largest network, the Internet. There is danger in using internet due to numerous cyber-attacks which are designed to attack Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of systems connected to the internet. One of the most prominent threats to computer networking is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack. They are designed to attack availability of the systems. Many users and ISPs are targeted and affected regularly by these attacks. Even though new protection technologies are continuously proposed, this immense threat continues to grow rapidly. Most of the DDoS attacks are undetectable because they act as legitimate traffic. This situation can be partially overcome by using Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). There are advanced attacks where there is no proper documented way to detect. In this paper authors present a Machine Learning (ML) based DDoS detection mechanism with improved accuracy and low false positive rates. The proposed approach gives inductions based on signatures previously extracted from samples of network traffic. Authors perform the experiments using four distinct benchmark datasets, four machine learning algorithms to address four of the most harmful DDoS attack vectors. Authors achieved maximum accuracy and compared the results with other applicable machine learning algorithms.
