    Analysis of NSL-KDD Dataset for Fuzzy Based Intrusion Detection System
    (International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2012-01-08) Mukosera, Macdonald; Mpofu, Thabiso Peter; Masaiti, Budwell
    In a bid to provide useful information for intrusion detection, we focused on analyzing the NSL-KDD dataset. In this analysis, we seek to simplify the process of mining fuzzy rules by reducing the features and categorizing the dataset into various smaller clusters as smaller units of the dataset are easier to work with than the whole single large dataset. It is less complex to observe and discover sound fuzzy rules from a smaller dataset and this work serves as a foundation to a fuzzy logic based intrusion detection system. This paper presents a methodology for data preprocessing towards an intrusion detection system and Microsoft excel was used in the process.

    Digital Currency:The Emergence of Bitcoins
    (International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2014-06-06) Mpofu, Thabiso Peter; Masaiti, Budwell; Mukosera, Macdonald
    : Bitcoins are a crypto currency whose concept was developed in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoins are digital currencies which operate on a peer to peer system. The system is decentralized as there is no central regulatory authority as with fiat currency. For an individual to transact you need a bitcoin wallet which has one or more private and public keys associated with it. Unlike fiat currency and electronic payment methods such as Visa and MasterCard which are based on trust, Bitcoin usage is based on cryptographic proof. Bitcoin usage has been on the increase and they can be converted into fiat currency through bitcoin exchange
