<![CDATA[In the era of Information Technology, openness of the information is a major concern. As the confidentiality and integrity of the information is critically important, it has to be secured from unauthorized access. Security refers to prohibit some unauthorized persons from some important data or from some precious assets. So we need accurateness on automatic personal identification in various applications such as ATM, driving license, passports, citizen’s card, cellular telephones, voter’s ID card etc. Unimodal system carries some problems such as Noise in sensed data, Intra-class variations, Inter-class similarities, Non-universality and Spoof attacks. The accuracy of system is improved by combining different biometric traits which are called multimodal. This system gives more accuracy as it would be difficult for imposter to spoof multiple biometric traits simultaneously. This paper reviews different methods for fusion of biometric traits.]]>

<![CDATA[Digital proxy multi-signature and blind signature scheme are found very useful for the purpose of electronic voting and electronic cash transaction. In proxy multi-signature, many original signers can delegate their signing power to a proxy signer in such a way that the proxy signer can sign any message on behalf of original signers. In blind signature, the signer cannot make a linkage between the blind signature and the identity of the requester. Proxy blind multi-signature is the combination of proxy multi-signature and blind signature. In this paper, we propose a new proxy blind multi-signature scheme based on integer factorization problem (IFP) and discrete logarithm problem (DLP) to improve the security aspect. It satisfies the security properties of both the blind signature and the proxy multi-signature scheme.]]>

<![CDATA[Model Predictive control (MPC) is shown to be particularly effective for the self-tuning control of industrial processes. It makes use of a truncated step response of the process and provides a simple explicit solution in the absence of constraints. Here we use Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC). DMC uses a set of basis functions to form the future control sequence. The industrial success of DMC has mainly come from its application to high dimension multivariable system without constraints. Here main objective of DMC controller is to drive the output as close to the set point as possible in a least square sense with the possibility of the inclusion of a penalty term on the input moves. Therefore, the manipulated variables are selected to minimize a quadratic objective that can consider the minimization of future error. Implementation of the internal model control is also shown here. The control strategy is to determine the best model for the current operating condition and activate the corresponding controller. Internal model control (IMC) continues to be a powerful strategy in complex, industrial processes control application. This structure provides a practical tool to influence dynamic performance and robustness to modeling error transparently in the design. It is particularly appropriate for the design and implementation of controllers for linear open loop stable system. A simulated example of the control of nonlinear chemical process is shown. The nonlinear chemical process study in this work is the exothermic stirred tank reactors system with the first order reaction. The reaction is assumed to be perfectly mixed and no heat loss occurs within the system. Using internal model control and dynamic matrix control has simulated control of the total process in CSTR. Simulation example provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.]]>

<![CDATA[The mismatch between the generation and demand for electrical power is increasing at an alarming rate. This is mainly due shortage of conventional resources, use of appropriate technology for alternate energy sources and lack of awareness about energy conservation. Power supply to domestic, commercial and industrial consumers is a difficult task to the utilities controlled by the government. In rural India, irrigation pump sets are the major loads. The technical aptitude, attitude and co operation of the consumers helps a lot in energy management. The strategic power supply is affected if the consumers are not complying with the norms. A strategy is framed to provide power to domestic appliances around the clock and agricultural consumers on time division basis. But the local technicians play a corruptive role to violate this which is leading to overloading/failure of the distribution transformers frequently. Here, an attempt is made to devise a method to overcome the problem of agricultural consumers who are getting power on time division basis. A control unit is installed at each distribution station to automatically monitor and control the power supply to domestic and agricultural consumers as per the pre defined schedule. This paper explains the use of electronics and information technology in rural areas for better management of the power supply and consumption. The unauthorized connection leading to failure of distribution transformers is also taken care.]]>

<![CDATA[In this paper, a soft-switched Interleaved DC-DC Boost Converter (IBC) for fuel cell is simulated and implemented. The proposed two-phase IBC circuit consists of two identical boost converter connected in parallel and are controlled by interleaved switching signals. But in the conventional IBC switching loss increases with the number of switching devices. To solve this problem, this paper has proposed a soft switched IBC. Detailed analysis has been done to investigate the benefits of soft-switched IBC compared to that of conventional uncoupled and directly coupled IBC. The converter circuit is constructed using power MOSFET as power switch. The PWM is generated by PIC18F4450 microcontroller. In this paper, the analysis of the converter is presented which is verified by the results of simulation and experimentation.]]>

<![CDATA[Electrical power is the vital input for the economic development of any developing country. At their zenith, many excellent methods for the generation of power have been developed. The cost of supplying electrical power through grid to rural areas is becoming excessively high due to large investments in transmission and distribution lines, centralized power generating stations and line losses. For these reasons, the stand alone decentralized power generating stations with non– conventional energy sources like wind, biomass, solar energy, micro and mini hydel sources are being considered for electrifying remote rural areas. Hence in this paper an isolated wind–diesel hybrid power system with superconducting magnetic energy storage unit is considered. The hybrid power system is normally equipped with a control system, which functions to reduce the system frequency oscillations and makes the wind turbine generator power output follow the performance curve when the system is subjected to wind/load disturbances. Usually PI controllers are employed in these systems. Unfortunately, since the operating point continuously changes depending on the demand of consumers, this constant gain PI controller are unsuitable to other operating points. Therefore, this paper describes the application of the fuzzy gain scheduling on the PI controller for an isolated wind – diesel hybrid power system with superconducting magnetic energy storage unit.]]>

<![CDATA[Key exchange protocols allow two or more parties communicating over a public network to establish a common secret key called a session key. In 1976, Diffie and Hellman proposed the first practical key exchange (DH key exchange) protocol. In 2005, Abdalla and Pointcheval suggested a new variation of the computational DH assumption called chosen based computational Diffie Hellman (CCDH) and presented simple password based authenticated key exchange protocols. Since then several three party password authenticated key agreement protocols have been proposed In 2007, Lu and Cao proposed a simple 3 party authenticated key exchange (S-3PAKE) protocol. Kim and Koi found that this protocol cannot resist undetectable online password guessing attack and gave fixed STPKE’ protocol as a countermeasure using exclusive-or operation. Recently, Tallapally and Padmavathy found that STPKE’ is still vulnerable to undetectable online password guessing attack and gave a modified STPKE’ protocol. Unfortunately, we find that, although modified STPKE’ protocol can resist undetectable online password guessing attack but it is vulnerable to man in the middle attack. Also, we propose and analyze an efficient protocol against all the known attacks.]]>

<![CDATA[Voltage sags are short duration reductions in RMS voltage caused by short circuits, overloads and starting of large motors. Voltage sag is much more of a global problem. For proper analysis and mitigation of voltage sag, their characterization is important. The magnitude and durations are main characteristics of voltage sag. In this paper voltage sag and their characteristics have been presented in a comprehensive way. How voltage sags occur, what are their characteristics and impact on equipments behavior for different conditions. Through voltage source converters, it is possible to compensate for the drop in system voltage or even to temporarily take over the supply completely. The shunt and series controllers are based on power-electronic voltage source converters. For a full compensation both reactive and active power are needed. Only not for deep voltage sags but it is possible to compensate the drop in voltage magnitude by injecting reactive power only.]]>
