My Project Demo 1 and piece of thought

Yesterday had a meeting with Cik Hazinah, and I'm kinda realize that actually there's a lot of things I've forgotten. I shall start with my project's modules/parts.
    1.
  1. A Complete Sender-Server-Receiver Program, which includes:
    a) sender exchange his fingerprint signature to server for a token
    b) sender do hashing and Asymmetric encryption
    c) receiver received file, decrypt
    d) receiver request sender's fingerprint from server, to check data's integrity

  2. 2.
  3. Get the time needed for Signed file to send over the network. (does fingerprint signature increases the file size much?)

  4. 3.
  5. Get the time for the whole process in 1. (Overall process time)

  6. 4.
  7. Find something to crack my own fingerprint digital signature. (Test it security level)
Okay... that's roughly about my application. When I've go all the data want, then I have to analyze it in my report. And, seriously, I have been WARNED! To pass up my PSM2 report EARLY this time....

My supervisor and I discussed on what she expects in next Demo:
    1.
  1. No more localhost, but virtual server and another PC, since we need another PC i think department/faculty should let us claimed for another laptop right.... since you cant possibly stay all day long in the Lab, or move the whole Lab's Desktop back into my room. You know... PSM are all midnight's job....

  2. 2.
  3. The whole signing and receiving process is completed with the actual fingerprint device. (ha! talk about device, I didn't destroy the thing! Just have to replace the adapter... My thousand thanks to my Dearest Academic Advisor, En. Bahrim for his time to help me check for the fingerprint device...)
Ah... talked too much.... that's it for now I think. Thanks for whoever reading this. Text are annoying, hence i found a great picture to put up.



This is research....lolz !


p/s: I've mistaken everything!!! My PSM1 got an 'A', its CCNA3&4 B.... hahahahahhaha so noob!

Progress Reporting (30 July)

Here's the important date:

Demo 1 + Log Book = week 7 (23/8 - 27/8)
Demo 2 + Log Book = week 11(4/10 - 9/10)

PSM2 Supervisor Draft report Correction = week 13 (18/10 - 22/10)

3 more weeks to go for the Demo 1, currently still doing the Signer(sender) -> Server -> Receiver part.... yet have to capture the time taken while file transfered so i can store in database and do comparison and analysis.

Met some confusion and will have to edit a little bit from my PSM 1 again. That's all for now.

Thanks for reading

p/s: sooooo many things to do beside this PSM !! if i am able to push away everything and just concentrate on my PSM, it'll be fantastic !!

Progress Reporting (15 July)

Regarding my research, I have to do an experiment, luckily not a boring one. Briefly talk about the experiment:
Read fingerprint from a person
combine with a simple txt file (Sign it) -> measure time taken
Apply some encryption (digital signature) -> measure time taken
send the whole thing to receiver-> measure time taken
receiver decrypt, to ensure the receiver is authorized to read it
read the signature and make sure its from the correct sender

Today, right now, I haven got the thumbprint reader. Currently I've done the File sending part from 1 host to another then read it, all about Socket programming and File Stream. A very basic part of my experiment application. Since this experiment only takes very small size of txt file as measure, I wont use FTP then.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading, anything just leave a comment or Shout ----There--->
