Harmonizing Traditional Crafts with Contemporary Creative Innovation
Abstract: Modern design emphasizes simplicity, functionality and innovation, focusing on efficiency and minimalism. When allied with tradition, it enriches spaces with cultural depth, craftsmanship, and practices that respect history. As sustainability grows central, traditional techniques offer insights into resource efficiency and cultural continuity. The synergy between modern design and tradition is often misconstrued as a tension between historical continuity and contemporary progress. Many argue that modern architecture, with its emphasis on …

Comprehensive Study on Secured Password Authentication with Encrypted Negative Password and AuthStore
Abstract: ABSTRACTEncrypted negative password (ENP) system uses the method where the passwords are first shredded then transferred to negative password and finally coded and stored within the authentication archive. Pre-computation attacks (e.g., Rainbow table and Lookup table attacks) are unavoidable since processor and storage resources are being plenteous. Only hashing is not enough. The encrypted negative password system still can resist the pre-computation attacks. Thus, by securing the sheets with negative …
