Redistricting is the process of grouping all census blocks within a region to form larger subdivisions, or districts. The process is typically subject to some hard rules and some (soft) preferences to improve fairness of the solution. Achieving public consensus on the fairness of proposed redistricting plans is highly desirable. Unfortunately, fair redistricting is an NP hard optimization problem. The complexity of the process makes it even more challenging to convince the public of the fairness of the proposed solution. This paper pro-poses a completely transparent blockchain based strategy to promote public participation in the redistricting process, to increase public confidence in the outcome of the process. The proposed approach is based on the fact that one does not have to worry about how the NP hard problem was solved, as long as it is possible for anyone to compute a “goodness” metric for the proposed plan. In the proposed approach, anyone can submit a plan along with the ex-pected metric. Only the plan with the best claimed metric needs to be eva-luated in a blockchain network.

Investigations towards studying terrorist activities have recently attracted a great amount of research interest. In this paper, we investigate the use of the Apriori algorithm on the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) for forensic investigation purposes. Recently, the Apriori algorithm, which could be considered a forensic tool, has been used to study terrorist activities and patterns across the world. As such, our motivation is to utilise the Apriori algorithm approach on the GTD to study terrorist activities and the areas/states in Nigeria with high frequencies of terrorist activities. We observe that the most preferred method of terrorist attacks in Nigeria is through armed assault. Again, our experiment shows that attacks in Nigeria are mostly successful. Also, we observe from our investigations that most terrorists in Nigeria are not suicidal. The main application of this work can be used by forensic experts to assist law enforcement agencies in decision making when handling terrorist attacks in Nigeria.

Today, the internet extensively impacts people’s lives through improved communications, interactions, and the exchange of information. Despite all these positive effects, it also causes in significant negative issues. Over the recent years, cases of online fraud, cyber-bullying, racial abuse, gambling, and pornography have increased due to the lack of self-control and overall awareness among internet users. Therefore, there is a need to create awareness and training on cybersecurity in schools to protect students from cyber-bullying, online fraud, and being targets of prejudice. Research reveals that the level of self-control and awareness among internet users is still moderate and low. To ensure cybersecurity awareness and knowledge among internet users, young people need to get educated on how to operate safely in cyberspace. This education will guarantee that they understand how to protect themselves from cybercrimes. To this extent, this research paper will explore the essence of cybersecurity education in schools and provide strategies that educators can utilize to promote cybersecurity education across learning institutions. This paper will thus conclude how cybersecurity training can be implemented in a learning institution.

Cyber criminals have become a formidable treat in today’s world. This present reality has placed cloud computing platforms under constant treats of cyber-attacks at all levels, with an ever-evolving treat landscape. It has been observed that the number of threats faced in cloud computing is rising exponentially mainly due to its widespread adoption, rapid expansion and a vast attack surface. One of the front-line tools employed in defense against cyber-attacks is the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). In recent times, an increasing number of researchers and cyber security practitioners alike have advocated the use of deception-based techniques in IDS and other cyber security defenses as against the use of traditional methods. This paper presents an extensive overview of the deception technology environment, as well as a review of current trends and implementation models in deception-based Intrusion Detection Systems. Issues mitigating the implementation of deception based cyber security defenses are also investigated.

Security practices such as Audits that often focus on penetration testing are performed to find flaws in some types of vulnerability & use tools, which have been tailored to resolve certain risks based on code errors, code conceptual assumptions bugs, etc. Most existing security practices in e-Commerce are dealt with as an auditing activity. They may have policies of security, which are enforced by auditors who enable a particular set of items to be reviewed, but also fail to find vulnerabilities, which have been established in compliance with application logic. In this paper, we will investigate the problem of business logic vulnerability in the component-based rapid development of e-commerce applications while reusing design specification of component. We propose secure application functional processing Logic Security technique for component-based e-commerce application, based on security requirement of e-business process and security assurance logical component behaviour specification approach to formulize and design a solution for business logic vulnerability phenomena.

Blockchain is an emerging technology that has recently been the focus for many researchers who have highlighted its diverse applications including healthcare. Transparency in managing unsolicited patient complaints is important in healthcare for both patients and healthcare providers; in addition, patient complaints analysis is significant to the continued quality improvement. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to understand the nature of patient complaints management in the healthcare settings, explore the implications of blockchain on the management of patient complaints, and identify limitations in the usage of blockchain. Structured qualitative review and content analysis of the literature methods were used through multiple inclusion and exclusion phases for the scope of this research. Blockchain technology characteristics have been analyzed and approximated with desired features in the patients’ complaint management. Patient complaints provide valuable information to drive continuous improvements in healthcare. Blockchain is described as transparent, decentralized, immutable and anonymous. Results of this research found that a complaint Management system that is built on blockchain technology might have desired features that involve data integrity, security and transparency. Blockchain does have certain limitations that involve cybersecurity, scalability, confidentiality, readiness to adopt it, and is uncertainty about its impact. As a conclusion, implementing a system to manage patient complaints that is based on blockchain technology is promising, due to its desired possible features.
