Novel continuous identity authentication method based on mouse behavior by Cong YI, Jun HU

“…With the rapid development of Internet technologies, security issues have always been the hot topics.Continuous identity authentication based on mouse behavior plays a crucial role in protecting computer systems, but there are still some problems to be solved.Aiming at the problems of low authentication accuracy and long authentication latency in mouse behavior authentication method, a new continuous identity authentication method based on mouse behavior was proposed.The method divided the user’s mouse event sequence into corresponding mouse behaviors according to different types, and mined mouse behavior characteristics from various aspects based on mouse behaviors.Thereby, the differences in mouse behavior of different users can be better represented, and the authentication accuracy can be improved.Besides, the importance of mouse behavior features was obtained by the ReliefF algorithm, and on this basis, the irrelevant or redundant features of mouse behavior were removed by combining the neighborhood rough set to reduce model complexity and modeling time.Moreover binary classification was adopted.The algorithm performed the training of the authentication model.During identity authentication, the authentication model was used to obtain a classification score based on the mouse behavior collected each time, and then the user’s trust value was updated in combination with the trust model.When the user’s trust value fell below the threshold of the trust model, it might be judged as illegal user.The authentication effect of the proposed method was simulated on the Balabit and DFL datasets.The results show that, compared with the methods in other literatures, this method not only improves the authentication accuracy and reduces the authentication latency, but also has a certain robustness to the illegal intrusion of external users.…”

PAN-ISLAMIC COOPERATION AND ANTI-COLONIALISM BETWEEN THE OTTOMAN CALIPHATE AND THE MALAY WORLD by ARSHAD ISLAM, RUQAIA TAHA AL-ALWANI

“… Human civilization has been profoundly shaped by the ancient oceanic maritime trading connections linking the Mediterranean World and Africa to China, via the Arabian, Indian, and Southeast Asian ports, shaping social and cultural exchanges enriched by numerous cultures, including the religion of Islam. The Malay World has always been at the crossroads of international maritime traffic, developing a common and diverse culture incorporating local and global elements, notably Hindu-Buddhist, Confucian, and Islamic influences, in a long and generally peaceful civilizational paradigm prior to the advent of European colonial exploitation. …”

Rapid preparation of bioactive composites for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion by Baozhi Ding, Xin Wang, Changqing Zhao, Jie Zhao

“…Abstract The current stem cell tissue engineering always requires in vitro cell culture. To solve this problem, the bone mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) screen-enrich-combine circulating system (SECCS) was created to rapidly enrich stem cells and combined with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) to immediately produce bioactive MSCs/β-TCP composites. 37 patients who underwent transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgery were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups. …”
