Recently communications and information technology became widely used in various aspects of life. The internet becomes the main network for information support. Using of internet enabled public and private organizations to develop its business and expand its activities. Private organizations applied the principles of e-commerce to improve the quality of services which provided to customers. Whi...

Web application security is a critical issue. Security concerns are often scattered through different parts of the system. Aspect oriented programming is a programming paradigm that provides explicit mechanisms to modularize these concerns. In this paper we present an Aspect Oriented system for detecting and prevent common attacks in web applications like Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL Inje...

Fast growth of Internet has brought some security concerns. One of these security concerns is Botnet. Bot and Botnets are new sophisticated kind of malware that is equipped with advanced features and have variety of applications. This paper reviews the current botnet detection frameworks and their advantages and drawbacks. To address the drawbacks we propose a conceptual holistic Botnet Detecti...

Mobile agents have been proposed as a solution to problems in ecommerce, telecommunications, and many other application domains. However, the mobile agent computing paradigm raises a number of security-related concerns, which have limited their industrial deployment. Mobile agent security issues include: identification, secure messaging, resource access and control, certification and non-repudi...

In the domain of software development, agile techniques are increasingly being used to improve the development process. Agile software development relies in part on rapid feedback of working software products to validate user requirements. There has been some effort to introduce agility in securitycritical systems, using an explicit representation of security concerns known as an iterative secu...

Cloud Computing is being adopted by many companies because of its capacity to use computing and storage resources on a metered basis thereby reducing the investments in infrastructure. With all its benefits, cloud computing also brings along concerns about the security, privacy and jurisdiction because of its size, structure, and geographical dispersion. This paper tries to explore these concer...

This paper deals with at least four major cyber safety concerns in Africa discussed in recent literature. These cyber concerns include aspects such as policies, procedure, awareness, research and the provision of technical security measures. Each concern is examined, the main focus areas are highlighted and a solution is proposed. This paper concludes by combining all relevant solutions into a ...

Some security concerns, such as secrecy and integrity, are sensitive to flow of information in a program execution. We proposed a new pointcut to aspect-oriented programming (AOP) languages in order to easily implement such security concerns as aspects. The pointcut identifies join points based on the origins of values, and can be used with the other kinds of pointcuts in existing AOP languages...
