The student (Shahad Hisham Kamel) received her master's degree from the Department of Computer Sciences / University of Technology for her thesis (proposal of the structure of moving block cipher based on a secret map). In her thesis, Block Cipher is designed as a moving structure based on two of the proposed internal algorithms, Which created some additions to the LOKI97 standard algorithm as each internal algorithm is different from the other by its internal functions. The first proposed algorithm consists of the following functions: complementary DNA function, circular shift function, two layers of S-box, the animated flipping function and the Swap function.

The second proposed algorithm consists of the Shift function, the DNA add function, two layers of S-box, the flipping function of the LOKI97 standard. When the moving structure is executed, it will generate a secret key via the Logistic Map that is agreed between the sender and the recipient only. This key will change every time a new message is sent. While the message is divided into 128-bit clusters, one of the two internal proposed algorithms will be selected so that each block of the message is encrypted separately from the other blocks. The encryption process is based on the number generated from the logistics map that determines the route to be adopted by each Block to be encrypted.

It was on Sunday 25/3/2018 and on the discussion hall in the department. The discussion committee was composed of Dr. Soukaina Hassan Hashem and Dr. Yusra Hussein Ali from the University of Technology / Computer Sciences Department And (Dr. Sadeq Abdul Aziz Mahdi) from Al Mustansiriya University / Faculty of Education / Department of Computer Science.

Under the supervision of the President of the University of Technology Dr. Amin Douai Thamer, in cooperation with Al Nahrain Center for Strategic Studies, the Department of Computer Science held a scientific symposium entitled "The Role of Electronic Management in the Community" on Tuesday, 20-3-2018. At first the national anthem was played followed by the reading of verses from the Holy Quran and then reciting Surah Al-Fatiha to the souls of Iraq martyrs then the speech of the President of the University in which he spoke about the importance of electronic administration and e-governance and their role in the management of institutions. Many of the systems and programs applied in the departments of the university and prepared by (Department of Computer Science, Department of Computer Engineering and the Department of Engineering and Control Systems), which was a leader in this area, such as human resources and financial management system and the appointment system and this under the guidance of the Prime Minister. these systems and programs were appreciated by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

A speech of the head of the department, Dr. Hala Bahjat Abdel Wahab, in which she welcomed the honorable attendance and focused on the role of electronic management in the service of society and the contribution of the Department of Computer Sciences in this aspect through the continuous cooperation with the government institutions. As well as through the development of specialized scientific branches to serve the community by providing consultations and the organization of courses and lectures to develop the computer and networking skills and how to retrieve information and maintain its security.

Mr. Hassan Naji, director of Al Nahrain Center for Strategic Studies, said that the technological development has taken place all over the world, and the reliance on information technology is the basis of the growth of societies and may contribute to the destruction of the other if used incorrectly, Continuous cooperation between the Center and the University of Technology and conveying greetings of Mr. Faleh Al Fayadh, National Security Advisor.

The symposium started with two sessions where the first session was chaired by Dr. Hassan Naji and Lect. Yasser Munther as Organizer. The session was attended by a lecture by Mr. Ali Abde Tohma and Dr. Wathiq Al-Hashimi. In his lecture titled "Electronic Media and its Role in Security Awareness", Mr. Ali Abed Tohmah described the electronic media, its types and methods of use and activation through awareness of users and spreading e-culture.

The lecture by Dr. Wathiq al-Hashemi was on the role of electronic means and risk in support of terrorism and the dismantling of the family and the spread of harmful sites and how to use terrorism these methods in the dissemination of rumors, and ways to establish a national media counter and how to address extremist thought.

Then the second session was held under the chairmanship of Dr. Alia Karim and Dr. Noha Jamil as an organizer and lecturers (Dr. Ayad Roudan, Dr. Mohammad Nateq, Dr. Bashar Saadoun and Prog. Asst. Muhammed Thamer).

The first lecture was entitled (electronic management), Dr. Ayad Roudhan, in which the meaning of electronic management and how to link the organizational structures of state institutions to accomplish the work more efficiently and provide services to beneficiaries and simplify procedures and reduce the effort and cost by:

• Providing information for easy retrieval
• Automation of institutions
• Provide the necessary infrastructure to link the country's institutions
• Training and skill building
• The existence of legal legislation
• Maintain confidentiality of information

Followed by a lecture by Dr. Mohammed Nateq, entitled "Network Infrastructure of the Computer Sciences Department", where he explained the main parts and infrastructure of the network and how to provide levels of privacy according to the need of work and rely on the efficient devices from Cisco International company, which connects three internal servers for the department's work, and also referred to the algorithms applied in This network and the protocols used are:

• LAN Protocol OSPF
• LAN Switching VLAN
• HSRP Hot Standby Router Protocol
• IP Services IP Security

And then was a lecture by programmer assistant Mohammed Thamer, in which he reviewed the systems of the section prepared by the Committee on Software Systems in the Department of Computer Sciences:

• Examination System
• Email Archiving system
• File sharing system
• Health center system
• Central storage system
• MCQ Exam system

At the end of the seminar, Dr. Bashar Saadoun gave a lecture on the subject of electronic currency Bitcoin and definition and mechanism of work and how to deal with and rely on the methods of encryption complex in terms of generation and transfer and also touched on the mechanism of it's work and the adoption of the principle of Block Chain and methods of mining.

The recommendations of the symposium were delivered by Mr. Ali Abed Tohme as follows:

• Establish electronic armies for cooperation between the country institutions
• Dissemination of e-culture and community culture
• Activation of memorandums of understanding between the country institutions and the university of technology
• Activating ongoing seminars and exchanging experiences between institutions and the university of technology
