Abstract: The convergence of Cloud Computing and Big Data technology has revolutionized the modern digital ecosystem. While Big Data introduces unprecedented challenge regarding data volume, velocity, variety, and veracity, Cloud Computing provides the necessary elastic infrastructure, scalable storage, and high-performance parallel computing capabilities to process this information. This paper examines the symbiotic relationship between cloud computing and big data systems. We analyze core architectural frameworks (such as Apache Hadoop, Spark, and HDFS deployed on virtualized cloud nodes), evaluate data staging and storage methodologies across structured and unstructured paradigms, and discuss real-world industrial efficiencies. Finally, we highlight critical bottlenecks—specifically security, multi-tenant privacy, data governance, and real-time stream processing—and map out future research directions in context-aware processing and decentralized cryptographic protocol.

Abstract: Proprietary software products are constantly threatened by memory-based binary analysis, software piracy, and unlawful reverse engineering. A basic flaw of both whole-binary encryption and static obfuscation is that the full decrypted program is eventually put into process memory, creating a predictable and exploitable attack surface. In order to overcome this restriction, this study introduces the Secure Runtime Software Protection Tool (SRSPT), a conceptual cybersecurity protection framework that suggests a runtime block decryption architecture. A built binary is theoretically divided into discrete, individually encrypted logical chunks using AES-256-CBC [1] and RSA-2048 asymmetric key wrapping [2]. Each block has a unique key. Each block's integrity is checked using SHA-256 hashing prior to execution [3]. Only the block that is now running is decrypted during runtime into a controlled memory space, which is then safely zeroed before the subsequent block is loaded. By ensuring that the entire plaintext binary is never concurrently present in RAM, this sequential single-block-in-memory discipline significantly reduces the window of opportunity for memory-scraping and dumping assaults. On an x86-64 architecture with AES-NI acceleration, an analytically predicted runtime overhead of 4–7% is presented. Conceptually, the design is contrasted with the function-level runtime encryption method that served as its inspiration [7]. Inspired by well-established runtime protection, trusted execution, and ephemeral decryption principles, this work is an implementation-oriented conceptual research study [4][5][6][7]. AES-256 block decryption, RSA-2048 key wrapping, SHA-256 integrity verification, anti-piracy, prevention of reverse engineering, secure loader, memory cleanup, software IP protection, ephemeral decryption, block-level encryption, binary protection, threat model, and conceptual framework are among the index terms.

3. Blockchain-Based Electronic Voting System Using Smart Contracts, Cryptographic Security, and Biometric Authentication: A Review

Abstract: Modern democracies face growing threats to electoral integrity, including vote manipulation, identity fraud, and erosion of public trust in centralised voting authorities. In response, researchers have increasingly explored blockchain technology as a foundation for next-generation electronic voting systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of blockchain-based e-voting architectures that integrate smart contract logic, layered cryptographic protection, and biometric voter authentication. Synthesising findings from over forty peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2026, we analyse systems built on platforms such as Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and cross-chain frameworks. Core technical areas examined include zero-knowledge proof construction for ballot privacy, elliptic curve and post-quantum cryptographic schemes for data integrity, threshold-based key distribution for decentralised authority, and multimodal biometric fusion for robust identity assurance. System performance is evaluated across metrics including transaction throughput, confirmation delay, computational cost, and scalability under load. The review also maps unresolved challenges spanning coercion resistance in remote voting, digital accessibility barriers, legal compliance requirements, and national-scale deployment feasibility, concluding with a proposed five-layer reference architecture to guide practical system development.
