Secure Authentication Scheme for Medicine Anti-Counterfeiting System in IoT Environment

Abstract: A counterfeit drug is a medication or pharmaceutical product which is manufactured and made available on the market to deceptively represent its origin, authenticity and effectiveness, etc., and causes serious threats to the health of a patient. Counterfeited medicines have an adverse effect on the public health and cause revenue loss to the legitimate manufacturing organizations. In this paper, we propose a new authentication scheme for medicine anti-counterfeiting system in the Internet of Things environment which is used for checking the authenticity of pharmaceutical products (dosage forms). The proposed scheme utilizes the near field communication (NFC) and is suitable for mobile environment, which also provides efficient NFC update phase. The security analysis using the widely accepted real-or-random model proves that the proposed scheme provides the session key security. The proposed scheme also protects other known attacks which are analyzed informally. Furthermore, the formal security verification using the broadly accepted automated validation of Internet security protocols and applications tool shows that the proposed scheme is secure. The scheme is efficient with respect to computation and communication costs, and also it provides additional functionality features when compared to other existing schemes. Finally, for demonstration of the practicality of the scheme, we evaluate it using the broadly accepted NS2 simulation.

Hindi Syntax: Annotating Dependency, Lexical Predicate-Argument Structure, and Phrase Structure

Abstract: This paper describes a treebanking project for Hindi/Urdu. We are annotating dependency syntax, lexical predicate-argument structure, and phrase structure syntax in a coordinated and partly automated manner. The paper focuses on choices in syntactic representation, and the stages we think are most appropriate for annotating differnt types of information.

The Spoken Web Search Task at MediaEval 2011

Abstract: In this paper, we describe the “Spoken Web Search” Task, which was held as part of the 2011 MediaEval benchmark campaign. The purpose of this task was to perform audio search with audio input in four languages, with very few resources being available in each language. The data was taken from “spoken web” material collected over mobile phone connections by IBM India. We present results from several independent systems, developed by five teams and using different approaches, compare them, and provide analysis and directions for future research.

Novel techniques to reduce search space in multiple minimum supports-based frequent pattern mining algorithms

Abstract: Frequent patterns are an important class of regularities that exist in a transaction database. Certain frequent patterns with low minimum support (minsup) value can provide useful information in many real-world applications. However, extraction of these frequent patterns with single minsup-based frequent pattern mining algorithms such as Apriori and FP-growth leads to "rare item problem." That is, at high minsup value, the frequent patterns with low minsup are missed, and at low minsup value, the number of frequent patterns explodes. In the literature, "multiple minsups framework" was proposed to discover frequent patterns. Furthermore, frequent pattern mining techniques such as Multiple Support Apriori and Conditional Frequent Pattern-growth (CFP-growth) algorithms have been proposed. As the frequent patterns mined with this framework do not satisfy downward closure property, the algorithms follow different types of pruning techniques to reduce the search space. In this paper, we propose an efficient CFP-growth algorithm by proposing new pruning techniques. Experimental results show that the proposed pruning techniques are effective.
