Abstract - A Beowulf Cluster is a type of apportioned parallel processing system, which consists of a collection of reticulated standalone computers working together as a single integrated computing resource generally having a single system image (SSI), that is the users generally view the clusters as a single system. The relatively low cost of two commodity components which are the fast CPUs designed primarily for the personal computer and networks designed to connect personal computers together (in local area network or LAN) makes full advantage of the use of Beowulf Cluster, in this paper we benefit from these components to build larger system. The model was implemented in this paper is using the message passing interface technique developed in C language and use Linux operating system and the goal is to build Beowulf cluster to solve large mathematic operation faster as an example for matrix multiplication and PI problem …etc. the same approach can be used in scientific applications that need supercomputing power or in various other areas like databases, multimedia, web services, etc. In addition the users can access any node of the cluster and use it independently as a local personal computer.

Keywords— Parallel processing system; Network; Networking and Systems; Linux.

Abstract - The stream cipher A5/2 is used in GSM (Global System for mobile Communication) for authentication and data encryption. There have been numerous successful attacks that were launched on A5/2 hence breaking down its security. In this paper an evaluation of Cipher-text only attack is presented with an easy understanding of the equation solver; how the equations are generated and solved. Furthermore this paper also reviews that how hardware-only attacker can easily recover the initial states of A5/2 that is more than enough in decrypting all other frames without any pre-computation and storage of the information. It also tries to suggest corrections in the design, if any, based on the deeper analysis of the operations.

Keywords- A/5, GSM, cryptanalysis, stream ciphers

Abstract — In this Research paper, the simulations of call drop and handover failure in GSM network tele-traffic through OMNeT++ are presented. The results obtained in different scenarios are examined and analyzed which simulates a large business city in busy hour a number call attempts by the mobile phone users, with different characteristics of network coverage. This simulator is a discrete event simulator programmed in OMNeT++, focusing on the research of wireless or wired networks. It is also a flexible environment which allows its extension to different aspects of GSM technology, such as the simulation of successful calls, call drops and handover failure probabilities etc.

Abstract — MIPv6 is a proper replacement for MIPv4 protocol which recommended by IETF. IPv6 lieu IPv4 has been chosen as convergence layer for next heterogeneous access networks. MIPv4 has limiting in protocol, but MIPv6 is created fundamental changes such as security enhancements, elimination of the Foreign Agent (FA) and route optimization. The MIPv6 characteristics defined by the IETF provides perspicuous host mobility within IPv6 networks. In MIPv6 MN is move between IP subnets without change in its original IPv6 address configuration. This means that MN ever is addressable in the internet via its Home Address (HoA). HoA is IPv6 address that is allocated to the MN in its home network. When away from the home network, MN can still detect by its HOA in the internet, Because packets routed to its HoA. Also In this way, mobility transparency of higher layer protocols like Transport layer or higher is achieved.

Abstract - Wireless sensor networks (WSN) may consist of several to thousands of sensors that share the need to organize for network data collection sink routing. This paper addressed the problems of tracking moving of wireless sensor network objects. The traditional tracking method, called Dynamic Convoy Tree-Based Collaboration (DCTC) presented. In additional describe a method, called Distributed computation of Voronoi cells in sensor networks. Proposed solutions of WSNs challenges using converge cast traffic, covering networks configuration and efficient routing routines. We also present the intermediate routing sensor nodes expend an excessive amount of their energy resources. thus can achieve superior tracking accuracy with faster tracking convergence speed and reducing the network lifetime.

Abstract — Technical security metrics provide measurements in ensuring the effectiveness of technical security controls or technology devices/objects that are used in protecting the information systems. However, lack of understanding and method to develop the technical security metrics may lead to unachievable security control objectives and incompetence of the implementation. This paper proposes a model of technical security metric to measure the effectiveness of network security management. The measurement is based on the effectiveness of security performance for (1) network security controls such as firewall, Intrusion Detection Prevention System (IDPS), switch, wireless access point, wireless controllers and network architecture; and (2) network services such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) and virtual private network (VPN). We use the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) paradigm [1] which links the measurement goals to measurement questions and produce the metrics that can easily be interpreted in compliance with the requirements. The outcome of this research method is the introduction of network security management metric as an attribute to the Technical Security Metric (TSM) model. Apparently, the proposed TSM model may provide guidance for organizations in complying with effective measurement requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard. The proposed model will provide a comprehensive measurement and guidance to support the use of ISO/IEC 27004 ISMS Measurement template.

Abstract — Anonymity has become a significant issue in security field by recent advances in information technology and internet. The main objective of anonymity is hiding and concealing entities’ privacy inside a system. Many methods and protocols have been proposed with different anonymity services to provide anonymity requirements in various fields until now. Each anonymity method or protocol is developed using particular approach. In this paper, first, accurate and perfect definitions of privacy and anonymity are presented then most important problems in anonymity field are investigated. Afterwards, the numbers of main anonymity protocols are described with necessary details. Finally, all findings are concluded and some more future perspectives are discussed.
