Summary

In the era of Big Data and the Industrial Internet, managing privacy and security is a paramount concern. With the increasing integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the Internet of Things (IoT), visual data, often a critical component in fields such as smart manufacturing, healthcare, and industrial monitoring, requires enhanced protection from cyber threats. The importance of this research lies in addressing vulnerabilities in data transmission and storage, particularly for image data, while enabling efficient Big Data management.


The goal is to develop AI-driven image encryption techniques using advanced deep learning and machine learning frameworks. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) play crucial roles in creating secure and adaptive encryption mechanisms. CNNs are utilized for feature recognition and pattern encoding, while RNNs enhance real-time image encryption and secure sequencing. These AI-powered methods not only safeguard sensitive visual data but also align with the demands of Big Data handling and industrial applications.


Key themes include:

1. AI in securing Big Data pipelines.

2. Data encryption in communication network

3. Integration of encryption in industrial IoT (IIoT) systems.

4. Cybersecurity advancements in visual data protection.

5. Role of deep learning (CNN/RNN) in real-time image encryption

6. Challenges in safeguarding Industrial Internet systems.

7. Data encryption and decryption

8. Cybersecurity

9. Big data management

    Abstract Semantic secure communication is an emerging field that combines the principles of source-channel coding with the need for secure data transmission. It is of great significance in modern communications to protect the confidentiality and privacy of sensitive information and prevent information leaks and malicious attacks. This paper presents a novel approach to semantic secure communication through the utilization of joint source-channel coding, which is based on the design of an automated joint source-channel coding algorithm and an encryption and decryption algorithm based on semantic security. The traditional and state-of-the-art joint source-channel coding algorithms are selected More >
