  • A secure multi phase authentication protocol for cloud infrastructure using elliptic curve cryptography
    R. Sivasankar, M. Marikkannan
    Scientific Reports, 2025
    The rapid growth of Cloud Infrastructure (CI) has enabled advancements across domains such as healthcare, finance, and industrial automation. However, sensitive data in CI remains is vulnerable to various threats such as replay attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, impersonation, and credential theft, especially over public networks. To address these challenges in this paper, a Secure Multi-Phase Authentication Protocol for Cloud Infrastructure (SMPA-CI) based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography has been proposed. The proposed protocol incorporates four phases such as system initialization, user registration, login authentication, and secure password update, where each employs lightweight cryptographic techniques, including digital signatures, elliptic curve-based key exchange, and hash functions. Unlike conventional authentication schemes, SMPA-CI emphasizes mutual authentication, user anonymity, and resistance to prevalent attack vectors, while maintaining efficiency suitable for resource-constrained devices. Experimental results demonstrate that SMPA-CI reduces computational cost by up to 18%, lowers communication overhead by 15%, and decreases authentication latency compared to existing ECC-based schemes. These results highlight the novelty and practicality of SMPA-CI in achieving a secure, scalable, and performance-aware authentication framework for modern cloud infrastructures.
  • Confidence-Based Trustscoring System for Identification of Secure Agent Platforms
    Adri Jovin John Joseph, Marikkannu P, Marikkannan Mariappan
    Proceedings of the International Conference on Multi Agent Systems for Collaborative Intelligence Icmsci 2025, 2025
    Autonomous mobile agent systems can accomplish multiple tasks in an asynchronous and dynamic manner in platforms where there is excessive network load, network interruption and in slow networks. However, the decisions and execution depend on the platforms visited by the agents. Since the platforms may influence the decisions made by the agents, it is crucial that the trustable platforms are selected. Trust score is one parameter that helps mobile agents to select the appropriate platform. This work proposes a minor modification of the existing trust score calculation which has a significant impact on the safety and performance of mobile agent systems when deployed in a conventional distributed environment or in a modern cloud environment for completion of tasks. This work introduces a confidence-based approach for the five parameters namely persistence, competence, reputation, credibility, integrity which determine the trust score. This will provide a clear decision-making environment for the mobile agents to choose an appropriate platform.
  • Blockchain as a Controller of Security in Cyber-Physical Systems: A Watchdog for Industry 4.0

    Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are finding their role in integrating most of the physical systems into computing systems which can be controlled by computers. The growth of such systems has seamlessly offered control of physical systems, which has reduced most of the physical overheads and has contributed to single-point control and remote control over devices. Efforts to supplement the power of CPSs are made by integrating the capabilities of blockchains in them. CPSs and blockchains have various common attributes that help them bind together in many application areas. The integration of blockchains has not only contributed to the immutability of data handled by CPSs but also has contributed to the CPS security requirements. This chapter discusses multiple security issues associated with CPSs and the impact of blockchains over the achievement of security features in CPSs.
  • Approaches to overcome security risks and threats in online learning applications
    Adri Jovin John Joseph, Marikkannan Mariappan
    Secure Data Management for Online Learning Applications, 2023
    The COVID-19 pandemic affected educators and students on a very large scale globally. School education and higher education were affected drastically as educational institutions and universities were forced to close due to the global pandemic. It was because of online learning applications that education got back on track. Online learning happens through different modes, whether through massive open online courses, through virtual meeting platforms or open online learning platforms. The utilization of web and mobile learning applications has increased exponentially in recent years following the COVID pandemic. With the growth in the usage of online learning applications, the threat posed toward the end users of online learning applications has also increased in recent years. Most online learning applications are web applications. Therefore, online learning applications are susceptible to all types of security attacks as described by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). Some commonly identified attacks on online learning platforms are: buffer overflow, eavesdropping of the network, guessing of user passwords, a replay of cookies, credential stealing, privilege promotion, unauthorized access, trapdoor mechanisms, spamming, tunnelling, a replay of sessions by outsiders, man-in-the-middle attack, HTTP manipulation, manipulation of cookies, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and information disclosure among others. These are carried out viathe online learning platform and have a direct impact on the educator and learner. Service providers face a lot of threats. It is reported that most online learning service providers have faced distributed denial of service attacks in recent years. This has raised a major concern in the usage of online learning platforms specifically when the assessments are time-bound. Apart from these, phishing attacks have also increased in recent years, especially the imitation of online learning platforms of universities and major online learning platform providers. Many end users have been affected due to these attacks. This chapter presents a detailed review of the threats faced in the usage of online learning applications, the risk classification, and the impact on the end users. It also presents various possible approaches that can be followed to prevent and mitigate the risks of using online learning applications.

  • A novel trust-scoring system using trustability co-efficient of variation for identification of secure agent platforms
    Adri Jovin John Joseph, Marikkannan Mariappan
    Plos One, 2018
    Mobile Agent systems are prevalent in Distributed Environment due to the autonomy and adaptability in diversified situations. Mobile Agents are capable of movement from one platform to another and hence it is a need to ensure the safety of the Mobile Agent during the phase of transit. Since Mobile Agents are capable of deciding their itinerary dynamically, a decision support system which helps to ensure the trustworthiness of a platform would complement the decision. A Trust Scoring System is therefore proposed to measure the trustworthiness of a platform based on a metric termed Trust Score. Trust Score varies dynamically with respect to time and is based on a function comprising of five parameters namely Persistence, Competence, Reputation, Credibility and Integrity. In order to reduce the computational latency, another metric named Trust Rank for platforms, based on Trustability co-efficient of variation is introduced. The experimentation is done in cloud environment with platforms located at different geographic regions. The performance is evaluated in terms of response time and accuracy of decision. From the experimental results, it is evident that the Trust Ranking mechanism consumes less response time and improves the accuracy of decision of Mobile Agents during their itineraries, compared to that of the prototype system that uses Trust Score alone as a measure of decision-making.
