REDUCTION OF ICT SECURITY RISKS USING LEVEL BASED APPROACH

Vol. 9 No. 2 (2019): JITA – APEIRON Ivo Džakula, Branko Latinović REDUCTION OF ICT SECURITY RISKS USING LEVEL BASED APPROACH Original scientific paper DOI:https://doi.org/ 10.7251/JIT1902099DZ Download Article PDF Abstract Security controls are certainly one of the most preferred ways of controlling the environment in which our system is “alive”. But although they are heavily represented and used in practice, security controls tend to become the same and not change after they are introduced. To try to make the most of the opportunities that this approach provides, this paper will explain the importance of implementing ICT security controls and propose a new approach by adding emergency ICT control. This approach gives us the ability to integrate the entire organization into the development of control by providing a better, more accurate and faster basis for managing the security risks of ICT technology. Keywords: ICT – Information and communications technology, Risk, Security controls.

ON POSSIBLE CRYPTOGRAPHIC OPTIMIZATION OF MOBILE HEALTHCARE APPLICATION

Vol. 9 No. 2 (2019): JITA – APEIRON Goran Đorđević, Milan Marković ON POSSIBLE CRYPTOGRAPHIC OPTIMIZATION OF MOBILE HEALTHCARE APPLICATION Original scientific paper DOI:https://doi.org/ 10.7251/JIT1902080DJ Download Article PDF Abstract The paper deals with a possible SOA based m-healthcare online system with secure mobile communication between patients and medical professionals with medical and insurance organizations. An example of an Android-based secure mobile client application is presented which can be used in the described secure m-healthcare model and it is experimentally evaluated. In the paper, we focus on possible optimization of cryptographic algorithms implemented in the secure Android mobile client application. The presented experimental results justify that security operations related to X.509v3 digital certificate generation and XML/WSS digital signature creation/verification are feasible on some current smart phones and justify the use of the proposed optimization techniques for implemented cryptographic algorithms.

DDLM – QUALITY STANDARD FOR ELECTRONIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Vol. 9 No. 2 (2019): JITA – APEIRON Siniša Tomić, Dalibor Drljača DDLM – QUALITY STANDARD FOR ELECTRONIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Original scientific paper DOI:https://doi.org/ 10.7251/JIT1902067T Download Article PDF Abstract The Web-based technological revolution has brought new teaching opportunities and concepts. This expands the range of educational opportunities based on new digital technologies, while certain obstacles and dangers appear that this type of education brings with it at the same time. Electronic education systems should be flexible and it would be ideal if able to meet the specific needs of each student individually. On the other hand, it is extremely important to standardize teaching electronic content, define all vertical and horizontal processes in the electronic education system, and set quality standards that must be respected. Higher education institutions must take an active part in the development and implementation of information technologies in teaching processes. DDLM (Demand-Driven Learning Model) clearly defines the structure of Web-based teaching delivery, so that it essentially defines the quality standard of e-learning programs based on Web technologies. The problem of non-standardization of electronic educational content, poorly defined processes in the system, such as the delivery of electronic content, control activities, personalization or irregular updates, is present everywhere in the world, and so with us. The research conducted in this paper examines the population of students of higher years of study, as well as students of the second and third cycle of study at 5 universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to get a clear picture of the current state of electronic education in our country. The survey was conducted on 565 students between October 2016 and January 2017. Following the methodology of scientific research, the empirical research was primarily conducted through a survey questionnaire, where primary quantitative data were stored in a database and further analysed, after which we reached the relevant scientific knowledge.

There is a number of customers that a bank daily interacts with. In this technology era, when everything is moving to automation from the beginning step to final product manufacture, medical checkups, medical reports, and evaluation, the banking system is still working on the legacy system. Instead, with the participation and implementation of new Virtual Assistant-powered with AI and Machine Learning technology in the banking sector, the institutions are again using the legacy system or may be bound to use the legacy system. This research will help to elaborate and emphasize the impact of the implementation of automation, using artificial intelligence in the banking business process. This research will be based on the quantitative as well model base prof of system performance using different analytical tools like SPSS. This automation process will help the institutions to enhance profitability, performance, and reduce human dependency.

Activities that require to be corrected are performed at established distance learning systems and thus can be: lectures, assignments, tests, grading, competitions, directed leisure activities, and case studies. Results regarding data processing in artificial neural networks specifically indicate a specific activity that needs to be maintained, promoted, or changed in order to improve students’ abilities and achievements. The developed models are also very useful to students who can understand their achievements much better as well as to develop their skills for future competencies. These models indicate that students’ abilities are far more developed in those who use some of the mentioned distance learning systems in comparison with the students who learn due to the traditional classes system.

The process of teaching and education, besides conventional and physical elements of the environment, will be enriched with elements regarding modern information technology. Ambient intelligence will be presented in this paper as a result of the artificial algorithm neural networks, through the following contexts: e-learning environment, identification, and security. The key role in raising students’ achievements as well as competency levels belongs to modern information technology which works towards creating ambient intelligence. It is also executed through the concept of e-learning onto one of the convenient learning management platforms. Survey results indicate that with the use of ambient intelligence, better results are achieved, especially in mathematics taught at the elementary school level. Furthermore, learned lessons are memorized by students for a long period, which is proved by higher levels of students’ knowledge and skill acquisition in terms of general progress.
