Single Core Hardware Module to Implement Encryption in Tecb Mode
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The growth of the Internet as a vehicle for secure communication has resulted in Data Encryption Standard (DES) no longer capable of providing high-level security for data protection. Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) is a symmetric block cipher with 192 bits key proposed to further enhance DES. Many applications crave for the speed of a hardw

multi-Species Fish Pond and Nutrient Balance
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The efficiency of pond aquaculture largely depends on species combination, stocking density and ratio, and the quantity and quality of nutrient inputs. In semi-intensive polyculture, fish production is mainly based on natural productivity, which greatly depends on nutrients availability in the water column. Addition of benthivorous fish enhances th

Investigation Into Participation of Annexins in the Response of Arabidopsis Thaliana Roots to Lead (Pb) Exposure: Preliminary Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

As shown in previous studies, annexins are involved in many essential cellular processes and defence against various types of biotic and abiotic stresses. The purpose of this study is primarily to assess the relative contribution of annexins in the antioxidative defence against lead (Pb) stress. It is hypothesized that Pb exposure could result in o

The Bonn Agreement and Making of Democracy in Afghanistan
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

During the American-led military campaign, the anti- Taliban Afghan groups signed the .UNsponsored December 5,200 I, Bonn Agre~ment in Germany. The Agreement in addition to the formation of the post- Taliban interim administration also provided a comprehensive framework for the democratization of Afghanistan. This study examines the process of demo

An Improved timestamp-Based Password Authentication Scheme with two-Party Verification Using Smart Cards
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

With the recent proliferation of distributed systems and networking, remote authentication has become a crucial task in many networking applications. Various schemes have been proposed so far for the two-party remote authentication; however, some of them have been proved to be insecure. In this paper, we propose an efficient timestamp-based passwor

A Security Enhanced timestamp-Based Password Authentication Scheme Using Smart Cards
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The intent of this letter is to propose an efficient timestamp based password authentication scheme using smart cards. We show various types of forgery attacks against Shen et al.’s timestamp-based password authentication scheme and improve their scheme to ensure robust security for the remote authentication process, keeping all the advantages of

Ectopic Enterbiasis: a Case Report and Review of Literature
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A case of ectopic pinworm abscess detected in the right inguinoscrotal swelling is described. A male aged 55 years presented with occasional pain at his right inguinal area for three months followed by accentuation of pain associated with fever and gradual swelling of that area for two weeks. Fine needle aspiration of the swelling revealed frank th

Security Management in Wireless Sensor Networks with a Public Key Based Scheme
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper proposes an efficient approach for managing the security in WSN. Our approach uses the notion of public key cryptography in which two different keys are used for encryption and decryption of data. Our analysis and performance evaluations show that, our approach is viable with the specifications of today's Berkley/Crossbow MICA2dot mo

Audit Committees and Internal Auditors in Malaysia
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Audit committee is becoming increasingly important because it helps the stakeholders to constrain the behaviour of corporate managers. With the assistance that they receive from internal auditors, activities of the audit committees and internal auditors are now seen as critical elements in the assurance process. The interaction between these two pa

The Platysma Myocutaneous Flap: Another Option for Oral Cavity Reconstruction
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction The platysma myocutaneous flap have been described by a variety of learned leaders in head and neck surgery. Its advantages includes: thin, pliable and does not require special surgical skill, equipment, or technique to harvest. Methods A retrospective analysis of our experience with 5 patients who received a platysma myocutaneous flap
