The Department of Computer Science granted a master's degree to the student (Doaa Salam Faleh) in General Computer Science for her thesis tagged "Improving Algorithm XTEA Encryption Using Artificial Intelligence Technologies
"Enhanced Extented Tiny Encryption Algorthim (XTEA) Using Artificial Intelligence Technique ''
Monday 08/17/2020 in the discussion room in the building of the Computer Science Department.
The discussion committee consisted of:
-D. Hana Mohsen Ahmed as president
- Prof. Sakina Hassan Hashem, member
- Prof. Raghad Abdel-Ali, a member
- Prof. Ikhlas Khalaf Kabashi member and supervisor
This thesis proposes to improve the XTEA encoding algorithm by using genetic algorithms to generate the keys for these. Algorithm and good results were obtained in comparison with previous work that included the topic of the thesis.

The lecturer, Prof. Dr. Alaa Kazem Farhan, from the Computer Science Department at the University of Technology, has published two papers in an international scientific journal A court that is classified within the Clarfit database and at the first quarter level (q1) and has a high impact factor (IF) as this journal is one of the journals Global discreet and does not accept research of scientific originality. The first research titled "New improvement with active expansion to improve MD5 hash function for verifying secure electronic document" which summarizes His idea is to enhance the MD5 algorithm by adding dynamic variable length and efficiency High simulates the highest levels of safety available while a logistic system is used to encode DNA (RNA) by creation A random array based on a new key created using different techniques. As for the second research entitled "Improving the capability of the QR code by means of encrypted compression technology without losing data from the document." The proposed algorithm includes a clear and simple plan to overcome this difficulty by entering confidential information In a message QR code, the QR code is updated by adding levels that help to share secure messages Different sizes and documents validation for verification and validation.

A research paper by Professor Dr. Alaa Kadhem Farhan from the Computer Science Department at the University of Technology was accepted in the Third International Conference on Engineering Technology and its Applications under the sponsorship of IEEE, which is being held by the Islamic University in Najaf for the period (23-24) / August / 2020. The research is titled "A new mutual fund relying on chaos theory to encode images". The research aims to design a new s-box, which in turn depends on chaos theories. The fact that this box has the power of nonlinearity and it is very difficult to break it or find a numerical analysis for it. Therefore, if the power in forming confusion would break the interconnection between the participants. And that it was used inside the color coding, which diverged close color values, and the results of the coding were good and resisted most of the methods of breaking and recovering the original image.

The lecturer, Dr. Mustafa Jasim Hadi, Head of the Artificial Intelligence Branch in the Computer Science Department at the University of Technology, obtained an international certificate in e-learning after passing the professional trainers training course that was established by the American IREX organization in cooperation with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Ministerial Team for e-learning. The certificate is characterized by distinctive standards. It has fulfilled the requirements for e-learning because of its high efficiency in how e-learning is managed. It should be noted that the course lasted for two months, in which more than a thousand trainees from (79) governmental and private universities and colleges all over Iraq participated, as the course included lectures on (concepts and methods of education, Google's G Suite for education package, and video conference platforms / sharing services for communication. In the field of education).
