This paper presents an original approach to semi-supervised learning of personal name ethnicity from typed graphs of morphophonemic features and first/last-name co-occurrence statistics. We frame this as a general solution to an inference problem over typed graphs where the edges represent labeled relations between features that are parameterized by the edge types. We propose a framework for pa...

This paper describes our approaches for the preparation of gazetteers for named entity recognition (NER) in Indian languages. We have described two methodologies for the preparation of gazetteers1. Since the relevant gazetteer lists are more easily available in English we have used a transliteration based approach to convert available English name lists to Indian languages. The second approach ...

The Domain Name System is critical for the proper operation of applications on the Internet. Unfortunately, the DNS has a number of significant security weaknesses that can result in the compromise of web sites, email messages login sessions. Additionally, these weaknesses have been used as the basis for man-in-themiddle attacks on what are considered secure network protocols. This paper provid...

In this paper we presented technical study and security assessment that may threat the Arabic Domains in the new proposed multilingual domains (International domain Names IDN). We analyzed the Unicode Script (in particular the Arabic Scripts) and showed how vulnerable the proposed solution will be, then we presented suggestions for improved solution to be adapted to avoid future security risk w...

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as refer...

This paper presents a novel system HENNA (Hybrid Person Name Analyzer) for identifying language origin and analyzing linguistic structures of person names. We conduct ME-based classification methods for the language origin identification and achieve very promising performance. We will show that word-internal character sequences provide surprisingly strong evidence for predicting the language or...

The Domain Name System (DNS) provides crucial name resolution functions for most Internet services. As a result, DNS traffic provides an important attack vector for mass surveillance, as demonstrated by the QUANTUMDNS and MORECOWBELL programs of the NSA. This article reviews how DNS works and describes security considerations for next generation name resolution systems. We then describe DNS var...

A Domain Name Server is a critical Internet component. It enables users to surf the web and send emails. DNS database used by millions ofcomputers determine which address best answers user’s query. an unencrypted protocol that may be exploited in numerous ways. The mostpopular MITM attack uses poisoning intercept communications fake them. servers do not verify IP addresses they forwardtraffic t...
