In resource-intensive Internet of Things applications, Lightweight Stream Ciphers (LWSCs) play a vital role in influencing both the security and performance of the system. Numerous LWSCs have been proposed, each offering certain properties and trade-offs that carefully balance security and performance requirements. This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of prominent LWSCs, with a focus on ...

Denne masteroppgaven utforsker potensialet for solceller i rehabilitering av gjenreisningsboliger i Nord-Norge gjennom en detaljert livssyklusanalyse (LCA) for å evaluere miljøpåvirkningen av solskifertak sammenlignet med tradisjonelle skifertak. Ved hjelp av modellering i PVsyst v6.88, ble energiproduksjonen for et system på 11m2 med nominell ytelse 1.4 kW simulert og effekten av viktige ...

This thesis proposes a secure and resilient system for generating and managing unique identification number series for tracing food products within the Norwegian fishing industry, without relying on a central authority. Given the context of mutual mistrust among stakeholders and the threat of hostile entities, this project proposes a blockchain-based solution to ensure the uniqueness and security ...

With the emergence of powerful generative AI models comes the possibility of creating knowledgeable and engaging chatbots, which have the potential to significantly enhance several areas of the user’s life. This thesis focuses on the design and implementation of FysBot, an application with an integrated chatbot that aims to increase the user’s physical activity levels. In collaboration with a PhD ...

The global fishing industry, a critical food source, faces significant challenges due to criminal activities such as illegal fishing and over-exploitation. Traditional surveillance methods can be susceptible to tampering and cannot fully ensure the integrity of recorded events. This thesis introduces Haddock, a shared, distributed logging system leveraging a two-phase dissemination protocol and the ...

Climate change has emerged as an important topic over the past decade, and one of the areas most susceptible to change is the Arctic Tundra. Monitoring the environment features a variety of challenges; it’s remote location, manual monitoring equipment and required permission to depart on expeditions. A solution to this is the use of a wireless sensor network to allow more automatic gathering ...

Today, many are unaware of how much of their personal information is publicly available on the web, which has become an increasingly important issue among internet users. This thesis builds on the work of the preceding Capstone project and uses the open-source Online Privacy Pilot tool as a case study to explore how large language models can be incorporated into the tool to enhance its functionality ...

Querying and exploring health data can lead to the discovery of new rela- tions between conditions, medications, hospital events, etc. For this purpose, temporal health queries are useful since the order in which events happen is important. Many of the querying tools available do not address the unique needs of temporal health queries, making these queries difficult and time-consuming to ...

Denne studien undersøker hvilke risikoer som er knyttet til at norsk politi går ubevæpnet i sin daglige tjeneste. Norsk politi er blant fåtallet av politistyrker i verden som ikke er fast bevæpnet, til tross for et endret trusselbilde de siste årene. Samtidig har terskelen for å få bevæpning på daglige oppdrag blitt senket, og det er flere midlertidige bevæpninger nå enn før. De siste årene har det ...

Sammensatte trusler har fått økt oppmerksomhet i nyere tid og noe det norske totalforsvaret må være forberedt på å håndtere. Samtidig har DSB nylig oppdatert og skjerpet rådene om egenberedskap som følge av blant annet sårbarheter i samfunnet og den sikkerhetspolitiske situasjonen vi befinner oss i. Denne studien undersøker hvilken effekt egenberedskap har i møte med sammensatte trusler. Det undersøkes ...
