Proposition of a dynamic steganography system based on the chaos
properties and image registration for distributing an encryption key
- Authors: Rachid Rimani, Naima Hadj-Said, Adda Ali-Pacha
  Pages: 79 - 93
  Abstract: Keys have a crucial role in the security of cryptosystems and their distribution is an important primitive in cryptography. This article presents a new dynamic system of steganography (data hiding) for concealing data in a particular sequence of images intended to regulate in an unlimited time the secure transfer of the key between the different correspondents; the proposed key exchange protocol using an image registration system and a chaotic sequence is comparable to the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. The use of chaos makes it possible to increase the level of confidentiality by sending to the receiver a register which contains parameters of a chaotic sequence; knowing these parameters, the receiver can extract the chaotic sequence. The purpose of using the image registration is to find the transformation between two or several images; these transformations become a tool with the chaotic sequence calculated to recover the key on the receiver side.
  Keywords: chaotic sequence; concealing data; Diffie-Hellman key exchange; dynamic system; image registration; key exchange protocol; recover the key; secure transfer; steganography; transformation.

Live event creation and management: case of King Bhumibol Adulyadej
mourning event
- Authors: Rachid Rimani, Naima Hadj-Said, Adda Ali-Pacha
  Pages: 94 - 101
  Abstract: On the 13th of October 2016, Thailand and the world lost a great man, King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Thailand has mourning period following his death. This research studies the creation of a live event designed to express loyalty towards the late King. This research is divided into three parts: production and management, creative and performance communication, and design production. As the sender, the creators a of a live event about the King and the mourning period have many factors to consider including the appropriate modes of expression in Thai ceremony, culture, and tradition, and also the fact that people were sad and it was a sensitive time. The main message of the event was thankfulness, respect, and deep gratitude. The results show that audiences, made up of both Thais and foreigners, felt part of the live event, demonstrated their appreciation with tears, and showed their respect toward the King.

The study of acceptance Thai LGBTQs in Bangkok: analysis of attitudes
from Gen-Z people
- Authors: Jirayut Monjagapate, Nakorn Rungkittanasan
  Pages: 102 - 114
  Abstract: This study is intentionally created to make an awareness about being third genders in the society.
  Authors interviewed 300 interviewees who were born from 1995 to 2012, Bangkok, Thailand. They are called as Generation-Z people. The interviewees are asked about their opinions in terms of acknowledgement and perceiving on LGBTQs. There are two main parts that the study does. In the first part, interviewees were asked to define the definition of being third gender. Secondly, they are asked about the level of acceptance of third gender. From the observations, in Thai society, third genders are still in limitations of regulations and official acceptance. The majority of interviewees gives a high rate of acceptance of LGBTQs. However, the interviewees still believe that third genders are still not totally treated equally based on these limitations. The scores that interviewees give are in different level between family and mentality section with higher variations.
  Keywords: LGBTQ; third genders; Generation-Z

BiSign: pairing-based anonymity in bitcoin cryptocurrency
- Authors: Albert Kofi Kwansah Ansah, Daniel Adu-Gyamfi, Stephen Anokye
  Pages: 115 - 133
  Abstract: Bitcoin as cryptocurrency cyber application records transactions on a Blockchain network but its anonymity is not fully explored. Users information and identity leakage vulnerabilities possibly exist due to Bitcoins public address system. This attracts privacy issues. Practical and compatible anonymity requirements for users are still not satisfactory despite several attempts provided in existing techniques. In this paper, we propose a privacypreservation scheme that ensures users carry out anonymous bitcoin transactions based on bilinear pairing, elliptic curve cryptography, and other cryptographic primitives. We theoretically analysed and evaluate our scheme which is proven secure to implement for preserving users privacy in bitcoin transactions. Simulation performed proved the correctness of our scheme and show average performance time of 6 μs and 11 μs respectively for 80-bits and 128-bits with PBC Type A pairing. Effectively, the analysis and evaluation suggest the proposed scheme as secure and robust to implement for preserving users privacy in bitcoin transactions.

Privacy-preservation in data pre-processing for web usage mining
- Authors: Albert Kofi Kwansah Ansah, Daniel Adu-Gyamfi, Stephen Anokye
  Pages: 134 - 152
  Abstract: Many online systems offer recommendation of varied aspects to web users to provide enough utility and the right kind of user preference data. Most of these recommendations arise out of well-processed underlying data from data mining procedures. The data mining procedures tend to expose seemingly private data item values to unintended analysts, especially that of demographic data. In this paper, the research study proposes a privacy-preserving framework architecture that enforces privacy on the data item values of web log and demographic data of users. The privacy issues are addressed by introducing a privacy-preserving database that stores a privacy commitment tuple; composed of the data item value and the privacy-preservation property values. This methodology approach proposes to offer merits in ensuring the protection of web users' privacy information during data mining tasks. Additionally, the approach offers different levels of protection; where on the user-centric level, users' personal privacy preferences are enabled, as part of subscribing to the laid down privacy policy on the web system. On the other hand, general privacy protection is enforced at the system-level by service providers (SPs).
