One of the important network security measures on a campus network is the use of authentication for identification of legitimate users and one of the most widely used solution in network authentication is the RADIUS protocol. However, there are potential security vulnerabilities in the RADIUS network especially for networks using captive Galley Proof server in a captive portal environment which is 1000 ms [1]. After improving the OTP technique by integrating all the variants of OTP with the RADIUS server on a single server using the simulated ABU campus network using GNS3, the result shows a significant improvement over the above results. The results obtained shows the average response time for TOTP, CROTP and HOTP as 1.3s, 2s and 1.9s. The validation, based on the developed and simulated configuration was carried out using live servers, routers and switches and the results showed improvement over the above results the average response time for TOTP, CROTP and HOTP were obtained as 0.4s, 0.9s and 0.9s respectively. This shows significant improvement in the TOTP, CROPT and HOTP respectively. The result shows the average response time is less than the recommended 1000ms for RADIUS server response time in a captive portal environment.","PeriodicalId":91221,"journal":{"name":"British journal of applied science & technology","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47453930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was done in order to ascertain which of the frequency ranges has the highest dielectric constant and least loss factor. The graphs of dielectric constant and loss factor were plotted against the frequency. The results were also used to plot Cole-Cole diagrams. The results revealed that the dielectric constant of methanol is higher at frequency 0.05 GHz and decrease as both frequency and temperature increases. However, as the frequency increases beyond 1.0 GHz the dielectric constant increase as the temperature increases. The results also showed that methanol actually formed a semi-circle which suggested that the solvent indeed exhibits Debye relaxation model. There were some discrepancies observed in the Cole-Cole plots which may just be attributed to the distribution of the relaxation times in the methanol. The researchers conclude that dielectric constant of methanol is higher in megahertz than those in gigahertz. The loss factor on the other hand was small at lower frequencies but as the frequency increases the loss factor also increases to a maximum value. The loss factor however decreased when the frequency increases after attaining its maximum.","PeriodicalId":91221,"journal":{"name":"British journal of applied science & technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47403791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relevant existing data were also acquired and processed to generate DEM, slope, contours, 3D-view and flow accumulations which were used for general reconnaissance and the analysis of the terrain, that is, the topography, landuse and landcover, drainage and some cultural features such as roads and settlements of the LGA.

Moreover, the most suitable site for “release point” during military advance which were based on some criteria were also modeled and determined using geospatial techniques.
