New credit cards containing Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV) chips for enhanced security used in-store purchases rather than online purchases have been adopted considerably. EMV supposedly protects the payment cards in such a way that the computer chip in a card referred to as chip-and-pin cards generate a unique one time code each time the card is used. The one time code is designed such that if...
People nowadays freely give out their personal information on social media without knowing the implications of such actions. The proliferation of social networking sites creates the illusion of fun that made people to overlook the downsides of using these media. This paper examines the privacy awareness and general concerns of undergraduate students who form the bulk of users of these media. An evaluation...
Positioning gadgets such as GPS devices often used for positioning references, navigation, and location updates in location aware applications, present outputs in coordinates and numerical forms, such as 20m from/to a point of interest or landmark. However, to human mind, the 20m is reprocessed into some linguistic variables such as almost there, close or far, etc. That is, human mind does not measure...
Social network emergence has had a remarkable impact on how people communicate and share information. It has increased revenues tremendously. However, it has added another problem to data confidentiality. This is due to the advances in communication technology that keep on producing a better, easier and cheaper way to communicate. However, the vulnerability somehow depends on the user itself, whether...
Work in indoor positioning so far broadly relies on either signal propagation models or location fingerprinting. The former approach has inherent modelling complexity as a result of intervening walls and movement in the environment which, impacts the accuracy of such models. The latter approach on the other hand, is acclaimed to give better accuracy. However, for it to be used, an added overhead of...
Privacy has been a subject of discussion long before the advent of computer networks, however, the notion of privacy has taken a dramatic turn due to the proliferation of information technology tools and applications, which is further aggravated by the social networking sites which allow users to display their profile information to be viewed and shared by millions of online visitors. This gives the...
There has been a rapid convergence to location based services for better resources management. This is made possible by rapid development and lower cost of mobile and handheld devices. Due to this widespread usage however, localization and positioning systems, especially indoor, have become increasingly important for resources management. This requires information devices to have context awareness...
