Threats and Protection on E-sim: A Prospective Study | Chapter 06 | Novel Perspectives of Engineering Research Vol. 8

 Threats encompass a wide range of dangers, and some of these concerns are related with integrated SIM technology, such as Internet of things (IoT) identification. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the working capabilities that enable the allocation of unique identifiers (UID) in order to successfully interact with the linked devices, hence increasing communication. An e-SIM application cannot create reliable and precise data that can be utilised to forecast the outcome of the subscriber. SIM technology does not supply any accurate data for the user to use in formulating serious productive outcomes. Failure of the technology to process and automatically notify the user means that an infringement or hacking has occurred. SIM-jacking is another important threat to the embedded universal integrated connection card (e-UICC). Incompetent Log Rhythm Al Engine impacts the fraudster hacking experience due to failed defences inside the operational environment. To respond to the fraudsters' unpleasant operations issues, the e-SIM technology system lacks timely threat, risk, and other critical operations predictability. Similarly, by failing to protect the much-needed privacy of an individual's important information, the embedded SIM exposes service providers to insider threats. During system operations, instances of personal data leakage have been noticed. The e-SIM hijacking allows fraudsters to surreptitiously steal the victim's vital subscriber data, hijack, and receive the information meant for the user to his or her personal phone. The hacker completes mobile account procedures, leading in further access to the victim's bank details and cash transfer. The provision of fraudulent information is another concern that e-SIM customers face. SIM subscribers are frequently misled into falling into the traps of fraudsters by receiving short messages (SMS) claiming assistance from service providers, resulting in the victim's bank account being drained. Identity fraud and device poisoning are two more hazards linked with the use of e-SIM. In general, the entire process of fraud invasion and victimisation has an impact on the business decisions of those affected.

In contrast to the actual SIM card, protection relies on the integrated SIM, which provides higher security as well as a reprogrammable technological system. The personal information of the subscriber is not saved in the e-SIM, but rather with the service providers, which boosts its efficacy. An e-SIM enables consumers to switch providers between T-Mobile and Sprint without physically moving, which is advantageous for security systems. Despite the security precautions in place, e-SIM, like any other SIM card, is subject to data theft. As a result, service providers must prepare for new fraudster effects by appropriately monitoring the network system and setting security controls. The system should impose rigorous constraints during operation that allow for the evaluation and differentiation of IoT and non-IoT devices.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...

Diagnosis and Management of Scrapie in Post Mortem Goats by Immunohistochemistry | Chapter 6 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The main objective of this study was to contribute to the annual passive surveillance for this pathology, since the goats are a species considered reservoir for the prion. A class of pathologies known as Transmissible Spongiform Illnesses (TSEs), which affect both humans and animals, includes scrapie, a neurological disease with a slow and deadly course that affects sheep, goats, and mouflons. Given that Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the globally accepted technique for identifying classical scrapie in goats—a species thought to be a potential zoonotic disease reservoir. Chile in relation to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is classified as a disease-free country. Scrapie is actively monitored for the sheep, but passively for the caprine species, which is why this study was carried out in slaughtered goats in the central north of the country (IV Region), to provide information to the surveillance system for this disease. Fifty brains of goats older than 2 years were used, r...
