Abstract: Network security and cryptography is a subject too wide ranging to coverage about how to protect information in digital form and to provide security services. However, a general overview of network security and cryptography is provided. Network security is a complicated subject, historically only tackled by well-trained and experienced experts. When many systems are connected in a network it is very important to safe guard the data in each system. However, as more and more people become “wired'', an increasing number of people need to understand the basics of security in a networked world. Our paper covers different kinds of threats & firewalls in the network by implementation of different security services using various security mechanisms. Generally, the logical conclusion is to use both kind of algorithms and their combinations to achieve optimal speed and security levels. It is hoped that the reader will have a wider perspective on security in general, and better understand how to reduce and manage risk personally.

Abstract : With the rapid evolution of cyber threats and increasing complexity of network architectures, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have become a crucial component of modern network security. IDS monitor, analyze, and respond to malicious activities in real-time, helping organizations prevent data breaches and ensure the integrity of their systems. Traditional IDS approaches such as signature-based and anomaly-based methods have demonstrated effectiveness but face limitations in detecting zero-day attacks and sophisticated threats. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) have revolutionized IDS capabilities, enabling more accurate and adaptive detection mechanisms. This paper explores the emerging trends in IDS, highlighting the integration of AI techniques, cloud-based IDS solutions, and Blockchain technologies. It also discusses the challenges associated with IDS implementation and presents future directions for enhancing IDS performance to safeguard networks against evolving threats.

Abstract:-To perform human identification or user verification presently, a variety of biometric modalities are applied. A Unimodal biometric system (UBS) is a technique which authenticates only a single source of information. However, the unimodal biometric systems performance is restricted in terms of, non-universality, susceptibility to spoof attacks, large intra-user variations, and noise in sensed data. The various limitations of unimodal biometric systems defeat in Multimodal biometric systems as the sources of different biometrics typically compensate for the inherent limitations of one another. This paper analyze various levels of fusion for biometrics, and also conclude with direction on future research proficiency in a multimodal biometric system using ECG, Fingerprint and Face features.

Abstract:In this paper, we have analyzed different types of network security aspects, including topology, infrastructure and protocols. The idea is to first understand what a mobile/computer network is, how it works, and how data packets are sent across a network. We have focused on how these data packets which contain essential data, might also contain malicious code, viruses, malware, and thus the need to set up a series of systems in place to control malicious attacks, block malicious IP addresses, packet monitoring, virus scanning. We have analyzed how the different network security systems work individually and collectively to enable a secure networking environment, which is critical in this day and age, an aspect that is very important for business, academic and military applications. Finally, we have focused on an important aspect of Network Security Firewalls – both the “simple” software firewall and a more complex dedicated device called a hardware firewall (also called appliance firewall). We look into the pros and cons of each and discuss them, and heading to our conclusion, we focus on the emerging role of AI/machine learning in AI Firewalls and the unique way they function to counteract the upcoming emerging threats in a completely connected world.
