Design and Analysis of Lightweight Trust Mechanism for Secret Data using Lightweight Cryptographic Primitives in MANETs

Abstract: Lightweight trust mechanism with lightweight cryptography primitives and post-quantum cryptosystems are having important concerns in resource constraint wireless sensor based Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). In postquantum cryptosystems, error correcting codes (ECC) help in code based cryptography for lightweight identification, authentication, distance bounding and tag with ownership transfer protocols to provide security. In this work, a novel approach is designed to secure the RFID-Sensor based MANET that uses ECC for assigning identification to resource constrained mobile nodes. This assignment helps to create centralized environment with subgroups, groups and hierarchies. Group or subgroups boundaries are limited through distance bounding protocols. Trust management plays the role of maintaining the relationship between nodes for long endeavor. Probability analysis of distance bounding protocol shows that the proposed approach is protected from mafia fraud, distance fraud, terrorist fraud, and distance hijacking attacks. The success of these attacks on the proposed mechanism dependence on trust score: lesser trust score (≤ 50) increases the chances of these attacks whereas higher trust score protects the network from these attacks and improves the network performance as well. In performance analysis, it is observed that the Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) outperforms the other MANET routing protocols in terms of network performance and security for the proposed scheme. However, the probabilistic analysis proves that it is still possible to control outliers in the network despite the new inserted defenses with trust management and limited resources.

Exploring novel approaches to vaginal drug delivery.

Abstract: Vaginal route serves as a potential site of drug administration for local and systemic absorption of a variety of therapeutic agents. Despite being a non- invasive route of drug administration, the vagina has not been extensively explored as compared to other routes. Intravaginal drug delivery has been traditionally restricted to delivery of antinfectives to the local vaginal cavity. Concerted efforts have been made in the recent past to rediscover the vaginal route as a potential route for the delivery of therapeutically important molecules, proteins, peptides, small interfering RNAs, oligonucleotides, antigens, vaccines and hormones. The understanding of vaginal physiology has led to the design of specific intravaginal drug delivery systems to reach the systemic circulation. To overcome the limitations of conventional dosage forms administered through vaginal route various novel approaches like the use of mucoadhesive or bioadhesive polymers, pH- or temperature-sensitive polymers, liposomes, nanoemulsions, nanoparticles, vaginal inserts, multiple emulsions and hydrogels have been designed which enable controlled and prolonged release of drugs. The present article is a comprehensive review of the research and patents encompassing conventional dosage forms used for vaginal drug delivery with emphasis on newer platform technologies pertaining to intravaginal administration.

Novel CMOS Dual-X Current Conveyor Transconductance Amplifier Realization with Current-Mode Multifunction Filter and Quadrature Oscillator

Abstract: This paper presents a novel active element, namely dual-X current conveyor transconductance amplifier. The CMOS implementation, parasitic model and characteristic performance parameters of the proposed dual-X current conveyor transconductance amplifier have been explored. The proposed active element has the advantages of good operational bandwidth, good dynamic range and low power consumption. Additionally, current-mode multifunction filter and quadrature oscillator are proposed to examine the applicability of the newly proposed active element. The proposed current-mode multifunction filter provides the responses, low-pass, high-pass and band-pass simultaneously without any circuit modification. The proposed quadrature oscillator circuit simultaneously generates three current outputs and three voltage outputs. The non-ideal analyses of both current-mode multifunction filter and quadrature oscillator are also included. Moreover, the active and passive sensitivities of both current-mode multifunction filter and quadrature oscillator are calculated which are found to be less than unity in magnitude. HSPICE simulation results are depicted to confirm the theoretical analyses. Moreover, practicality of novel dual-X current conveyor transconductance amplifier is examined through the experimental results of the proposed quadrature oscillator.

Low Voltage Operated Current-Mode First-Order Universal Filter and Sinusoidal Oscillator Suitable for Signal Processing Applications

Abstract: This paper introduces a current-mode first-order universal filter which is realized using single modified dual-X current conveyor transconductance amplifier and two capacitors only. The circuit configuration is appropriate to monolithic integration. The circuit enjoys benefits of low input and high output impedances making the circuit easily cascadable, electronically tunable pole frequency and low operating supply voltages. The non-ideal and parasitic analyses of the circuit are explored. The cascadability of proposed first-order filter is verified by realizing a second-order all-pass filter. Additionally, one application of proposed first-order universal filter in terms of voltage-mode sinusoidal oscillator is also presented. The oscillator circuit provides two 180° out of phase voltage signals, simultaneously. The output voltage signals are obtainable from low impedance terminals. To validate the proposed circuits, HSPICE simulations are done. Moreover, to explore the practical aspects of proposed circuits, experimental results of first-order universal filter for all-pass function and second-order all-pass filter, are carried out by using commercially available ICs.
