Fruit ripening represents a genetically synchronized system that involves developmental process unique to plant species, The phenomenon of ripening includes changes in color, texture, respiration rate, flavor, and aroma. Ripe fruits generally exhibit increased susceptibility to pathogen infection. However, fruits as a reproductive organ have their own protection mechanism against pathogens to maintain their integrity during seed maturation. In several nonclimacteric fruits, such as cherry, grape, and pepper, that do not have an ethylene burst during ripening, resistance against phytopathogens increases during ripening. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a causal agent of anthracnose disease in pepper plants (Capsicum annuum). We have established that C. gloeosporioides has susceptible and resistant interactions with pepper fruits during pre- and post-ripening stages, respectively. And we have interested in looking for a molecular mechanism that would explain the fungal resistance during ripening of nonclimacteric pepper fruit. In this presentation, a molecular characterization of the pepper esterase gene (PepEST) that is highly expressed in the resistant response will be demonstrated as an example of development and industrial applications of versatile-usable genes of plant.

Color digital images are used in many multimedia applications and in many vital applications. Some of these applications require excellent protection for these images because they are confidential or may contain confidential data. In this paper, a new method of data cryptography is introduced, tested, and implemented. It will be shown how this method will increase the security level and the throughput of the data cryptography process. The proposed method will use a secret image_key to generate necessary private keys for each byte of the data block. The proposed method will be compared with other standard methods of data cryptography to show how it will meet the requirements of excellent cryptography, by achieving the objectives: Confidentiality, Integrity, Non-repudiation, and Authentication.

The Cloud Computing is growing rapidly in the current IT industry. Cloud computing has become a buzzword in relation to Grid & Utility computing. It provides on demand services to customers and customers will pay for what they get. Various "Cloud Service Provider" such as Microsoft Azure, Google Web Services etc. enables the users to access the cloud in cost effective manner. However, security, privacy and integrity of data is a major concern. In this paper various security challenges have been identified and the survey briefs the comprehensive overview of various security issues in cloud computing. The classification of security issues in cloud computing have been studied. In this paper we have discussed security challenges in cloud computing and also list recommended methods available for addressing them in the literature.

Smart home systems provide a safe, comfortable, and convenient living environment for users, whereby users enjoy featured home services supported by the data collected and generated by smart devices in smart home systems. However, existing smart devices lack sufficient protection in terms of data security and privacy, and challenging security and privacy issues inevitably emerge when using these data. This article aims to address these challenging issues by proposing a private blockchain-based access control (PBAC) scheme. PBAC involves employing a private blockchain to provide an unforgeable and auditable foundation for smart home systems, that can thwart illegal data access, and ensure the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of access records. A detailed security analysis shows that PBAC could preserve data security against various attacks. In addition, we conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation to demonstrate that PBAC is feasible and efficient.

The objective approach for assessment of stream naturalness is an essential part of the stream restoration project. This study proposes the methodology for the assessment of stream naturalness considering physical, biological and chemical factors. Physical factors consists of riffle and pool, river bed material, bank protection, floodplain vegetation and levee materials; biological factors are benthic macroinvertebrate, KSI (Korean Saprobic Index), and IBI (Index of Biological Integrity) and chemical factors are pH, DO (dissolved oxygen), and TP (total phosphorus). This procedure is applied to the Mokgamcheon. As a result, the downstream of Mokgamcheon (zone I) needs the prompt improvement of stream naturalness, compared to the others (zone II and III). This evaluation technique will be an effective tool to quantify the stream naturalness and can be used to set the target of stream restoration project.

Cloud computing is a technology for delivering information in which resources are retrieved from the internet through a web-based tools and applications, rather than a direct connection with the server. It is a new emerging computing based technology in which any individual or organization can remotely store or access the information. The structure of cloud computing allows to store and access various information as long as an electronic device has access to the web. Even though various merits are provided by the cloud from the cloud provides to cloud users, it suffers from various flaws in security. Due to these flaws, data integrity and confidentiality has become a challenging task for both the storage and retrieval process. This paper proposes a novel approach for data protection by an improved auditing based methodology in cloud computing especially in the process of cloud storage. The proposed methodology is proved to be more efficient in auditing the threats while storing data in the cloud computing architecture.

This paper proposes a new approach to video surveillance systems, which have become essential components in modern urban management. By utilizing blockchain and IPFS, it enhances data integrity and privacy protection. Additionally, anomaly detection and automatic video storage are enabled through object detection technology, thus improving urban safety and security. This integrated approach serves as an efficient management methodology for surveillance systems, providing city administrators and citizens with a safer and more effective monitoring environment.

The decision to integrate mobile cloud computing (MCC) in higher education without first defining suitable usage scenarios is a global issue as the usage of such services becomes extensive. Consequently, this study investigates the security determinants of the educational use of mobile cloud computing among universities' students. This study proposes and develops a theoretical model by adopting and modifying the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). The study's findings show that a significant amount of variance in MCC adoption was explained by the proposed model. MCC adoption intention was shown to be highly influenced by threat appraisal and coping appraisal factors. Perceived severity alone explains 37.8% of students "Intention" to adopt MCC applications, which indicates the student's perception of the degree of harm that would happen can hinder them from using MCC. It encompasses concerns about data security, privacy breaches, and academic integrity issues. Response cost, perceived vulnerability and response efficacy also have significant influence on students "intention" by 18.8%, 17.7%, and 6.7%, respectively.

Safety Critical Instrumentation and Control Systems perform those functions to maintain nuclear power plants' parameters within acceptable limits established for a design basis events and anticipated operating occurrence to ensure safety function. Those digitalized systems shall protect inadvertent and non-malicious behavior to ensure the reliable operation of systems, known as a Secure Development and Operational Environment(SDOE). SDOE would be established through managerial and technical controls. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of Cyclic Redundancy Checksum diagnostic, which is one of technical controls for SDOE, that can confirm the integrity of software of I&C systems to establish the secure environment. The results of this assessment would be the practical implementation of design and safety review of nuclear I&C systems.
