Most encryption techniques have one essential problem that is they are vulnerable to brute-force attacks. Techniques used to prevent brute force attacks are increasing password length, password complexity, limit login attempts, using captcha, two factor authentication etc. A new mechanism to prevent against brute-force attack was introduced and this mechanism is known as Deception Model. Deception-based security mechanisms focus on altering adversaries perception in a way that can confuse them and waste their time and resources. This technique exploit adversaries biases and present them with a plausible looking but fake data. This technique can be used to serve for encrypting e-mail messages, human-generated messages and documents that are stored at different platforms. This paper will offer an detailed study of the current situation of Deception Model.

Malicious codes have become one of the major threats to computer systems. The malicious software which is also referred to as malware is designed by the attackers and can change their code as they propagate. The existing defense against malware is highly affected by the diversity and volume of malware variants that are being created rapidly. The variants of malware families exhibit typical behavioral patterns exhibiting their origin and purpose. The behavioral patterns can be exploited statically or dynamically to detect and classify malware into their known families. This paper provides a detailed survey of techniques to detect and classify malware into their respective families.

Cloud storage is used generally to store data and realize the data sharing with others. A cloud storage system stores large number of data in its storage server. Data that are stored to the cloud have to be secured in order to avoid the data from exploiting. There are several techniques and methods that are used to secure the data before uploading it to the cloud such as cryptographic encryption techniques. In this paper, we study about different encryption technique to protect the cloud storage environment. This paper covers some of the existing cryptographic approaches that can be used to improve the security in cloud environment.
