Abstract: Recent developments in information and communication technologies (ICT) have more impact on humans lifestyle and society, than ever before. However, in the most of the developing countries, still the potential of ICT has not been fully utilized, due to lack of infrastructure, limited resources and the higher cost. This ultimately possesses a burden on governments and regulating agencies to perform citizen’s related matters inefficiently. This paper presents a simple and low cost but yet effective, IoT based system for the issuance of e-passports to the citizens. The proposed system mitigates the time consuming traditional practices and the unnecessary involvement of human resources, thus it provides a fast, simple and low cost solution to the regulating authorities. The whole process from applying for passport to verification of credentials and issuance of passport can be done with the kiosk installed across the metropolitans and remote areas. The system is integrated with sensors an

Abstract: Recurrent events of cybercrimes happening around the globe recently which are affecting individual from different levels, cybersecurity has become has become an essential part of any academic and professional discussion related to modern communication technologies involving commercial and governmental entities. The key objective of this study is to find out the weakness and loopholes related to cybersecurity which is particularly related to the electricity sector of Malaysia. It has been identified that rolling out of the smart grid system may have many benefits in the long run. However, this may also unlock new potential threats from cyber attackers as the security of the smart meters are not highly developed yet and those are connected to the server and global network through channels with low level of security. This paper discusses the possible implications if a smart metering system is compromised and how to prevent such events, such as, by producing replicas of SCADA system to ope
