Abstract - Medical image compression is in high demand in the medical field, since it reduces the required time to transmit an image in a bandwidth or store an image for medical purposes. Modern medical image diagnostics involves a large set of medical images that are often based on MRI, X-Rays or CT. However, the introduction of new technologies and the fast development of existing ones has resulted in a high demand for bandwidth. In this article, the proposed image compression method for medical images it uses the discrete wavelet transform as a compression tool, which provides a better compression ratio without losing valuable information and through the implementation of the proposed enhanced run length encoder, by the use of the elegant pairing function, we can achieve higher compression ratios and high visual quality. Despite this, the fidelity is subject to the capabilities and limitations of the Human Visual System. |

Abstract - Security is playing a very important and crucial role in the field of network communication system and Internet. Simplified Data encryption standard (S-DES) is a private key cryptography system that provides the security in communication system but now days the advancement in the computational power the S-DES seems to be weak against the brute force attacks. To improve the security of S- DES algorithm the transposition and shift row techniques are added before the S-DES algorithm to perform its process. By using an Enhanced S-DES algorithm the security has been improved which is very crucial in the communication and field of Internet. If the transposition and shift row technique are used before the original S-DES algorithm then the intruder required first to break the original S-DES algorithm and then transposition and shift rows techniques. So the security is approximately double as compared to a simple S-DES algorithm. |

Abstract - Every banking customer is exposed to electronic banking terminal fraud due to non-repudiation with existing model. Currently, security status like Password, PIN, OTP, etc are been compromised and has proved not to be 100% safe. We integrated the Hitachi H1 FV scanner to our application to act as a deterrent for any form of transaction. A Proto-Type water tight secured banking application was designed using ArgoUML and VISUAL STUDIO TOOLS alongside HeidiSQL. The vein authentication is the last security protocol check before transaction access is authorized (credit and debit transaction) on any customers account. Our implementation proved that each of a person’s finger vein are totally different from each other, no one finger could authenticate for another finger. Finger vein biometric authentication security proved to be the safest method to enhance electronic banking security system. Our design is a panacea to local and global money laundering. |
