Energy Efficiency in WSN by Employing Cluster to Head Noise Protocol
The wireless sensor networks is the decentralized and self configuring type of network in which senor nodes can sense information and pass it to base station. Due to decentralized nature and far deployment energy consumption is the major issues of wireless sensor networks. To reduce energy consumption of wireless sensor hierarchal clustering is the efficient type of clustering technique. In this scheme whole network will be divided into fixed size clusters and cluster heads are selected in each cluster. The cluster heads are selected on the basis of energy and distance from base station. The sensor node which has least distance from the base station and has maximum energy is selected as cluster head. In this research work, WEMER protocol is implemented and improved to increase lifetime of wireless sensor networks. In the WEMER protocol, whole network is divided into clusters and cluster heads are selected in each cluster. The leader nodes are also selected in the network which take data from the cluster heads and pass it to base station.

Detecting Security Vulnerability in Web Applications
In this research work, we presented a new XSS defense strategy framework based on soft-computing approach designed to be more effective in widely deployed existing web browsers, despite anomalous browser behavior. Links access is paramount among web users without knowing the hidden agenda behind those links. The proposed design framework will protect users against the execution of malicious codes on their computing devices via web browser. The techniques used in this work provide not only a self-learning ability but take care of the greatest problem of the XSS scripting code which is inability of the browser to differentiate between benign and malicious codes. Because computing devices are being used by technical and as well as non technical users, this model offers every users equal security measure, as non technical users do not have the fear of not being able to successfully select the right policies to apply in order to protect their sensitive data as found in measures that are based on policies.
Skunks, Bogies, Silent Hounds, and the Flying Fish
The Vietnam War continues to cast a long shadow over American history and the world's understanding of international relations. The debate about its origins and how it escalated has raged for decades, fueled by conflicting narratives and a lingering distrust of official accounts. This document, a declassified and previously un-published account of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident of 1964, goes deep inside the National Security Agency's (NSA) signals intelligence (SIGINT) operation during the crisis, revealing a shocking truth: the second attack, which was used to justify a congressional resolution granting President Johnson a blank check for military intervention in Vietnam, never happened. This report, drawing on an unprecedented amount of newly-released and previously unavailable SIGINT data, and originally published in the NSA's Cryptologic Quarterly, analyzes the events that transpired between August 2-4, 1964, revealing how analytic errors and deliberate misrepresentations of intercepted communications ultimately led to a tragic escalation of the conflict. Using detailed analysis of the raw SIGINT reports, this document exposes a previously hidden dimension of the Tonkin Gulf Incident, highlighting the complexities and potential pitfalls of signals intelligence analysis. It is a must-read for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the origins and dynamics of the Vietnam War. This document offers a rare and compelling glimpse into the inner workings of the NSA, revealing the potential for human bias and error within even the most advanced intelligence agencies.

The Language of Cyber Attacks
Many cyberattacks begin with a lure: a seemingly innocent message designed to establish trust with a target to obtain sensitive information or compromise a computer system. The perils of clicking an unknown link or divulging sensitive information via email are well-known, so why do we continue to fall prey to these malicious messages?This groundbreaking book examines the rhetoric of deception through the lure, asking where its all-too-human allure comes from and suggesting ways in which we can protect ourselves online.Examining practices and tools such as phishing, ransomware and clickbait, this book uses case studies of notorious cyberattacks by both cyber criminals and nation-states on organizations such Facebook, Google, and the US Department of Defence, and in-depth, computational analyses of the messages themselves to unpack the rhetoric of cyberattacks. In doing so, it helps us to understand the small but crucial moments of indecision that pervade one of the most common forms of written communication.

Privacy-preserving and Untraceable Group Data Sharing Scheme in Cloud
With the development of cloud computing, the great amount of storage data requires safe and efficient data sharing. In multiparty storage data sharing, first, the confidentiality of shared data is ensured to achieve data privacy preservation. Second, the security of stored data is ensured. That is, when stored shared data are subject to frequent access operations, the server's address sequence or access pattern is hidden. Therefore, determining how to ensure the untraceability of stored data or efficient hide the data access pattern in sharing stored data is a challenge. By leveraging proxy re-encryption and oblivious random access memory (ORAM), a privacypreserving and untraceable scheme is proposed to support multiple users in sharing data in cloud computing. On the one hand, group members and proxies use the key exchange phase to obtain keys and resist multiparty collusion if necessary. The ciphertext obtained according to the proxy re-encryption phase enables group members to implement access control and store data, thereby completing secure data sharing.
