Background: A Trusted Research Environment (TRE; also known as a Safe Haven) is an environment supported by trained staff and agreed processes (principles and standards), providing access to data for research while protecting patient confidentiality. Accessing sensitive data without compromising the privacy and security of the data is a complex pro...

Social networks are becoming more and more real with their power to influence public opinions, election outcomes, or the creation of an artificial surge in demand or supply. The continuous stream of information is valuable, but it comes with a big data problem. The question is how to mine social text at a large scale and execute machine learning al...

The majority of medical devices in the healthcare system are not built-in security concepts. Hence, these devices' built-in vulnerabilities prone them to various cyber-attacks when connected to a hospital network or cloud. Attackers can penetrate devices, tamper, and disrupt services in hospitals and clinics, which results in patients' health and l...

Facebook is significant platform for third-party developers to run written applications in order to provide users extra functionality and services. Third-party applications (TPAs) access to user’s profile and exchange their information. In doing so, this may lead to information leakage and privacy risks. Although Facebook has control over third-par...

Attack detection is one of the most important issues for computer networks security. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors network for malicious activity. In this paper, a method is proposed to identify the attacks in IDS. This method generates rule sets for Intrusion Detection System using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). NSG...
