    Abstract As energy-related problems continue to emerge, the need for stable energy supplies and issues regarding both environmental and safety require urgent consideration. Renewable energy is becoming increasingly important, with solar power accounting for the most significant proportion of renewables. As the scale and importance of solar energy have increased, cyber threats against solar power plants have also increased. So, we need an anomaly detection system that effectively detects cyber threats to solar power plants. However, as mentioned earlier, the existing solar power plant anomaly detection system monitors only operating information such as power generation, making it difficult to detect cyberattacks.… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 2937-2958, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039459
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract With the advancement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, the market for drones and the cooperation of many drones are expanding. Drone swarms move together in multiple regions to perform their tasks. A Ground Control Server (GCS) located in each region identifies drone swarm members to prevent unauthorized drones from trespassing. Studies on drone identification have been actively conducted, but existing studies did not consider multiple drone identification environments. Thus, developing a secure and effective identification mechanism for drone swarms is necessary. We suggested a novel approach for the remote identification of drone swarms. For an efficient identification process between… More >

    Muhammad Firdaus, Harashta Tatimma Larasati, Kyung-Hyune Rhee
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 2959-2978, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039487
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract The enormous volume of heterogeneous data from various smart device-based applications has growingly increased a deeply interlaced cyber-physical system. In order to deliver smart cloud services that require low latency with strong computational processing capabilities, the Edge Intelligence System (EIS) idea is now being employed, which takes advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing Technology (ECT). Thus, EIS presents a potential approach to enforcing future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), particularly within a context of a Vehicular Network (VNets). However, the current EIS framework meets some issues and is conceivably vulnerable to multiple adversarial attacks because the central aggregator server… More >

    FedTC: A Personalized Federated Learning Method with Two Classifiers

    Yang Liu, Jiabo Wang, Qinbo Liu, Mehdi Gheisari, Wanyin Xu, Zoe L. Jiang, Jiajia Zhang
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 3013-3027, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039452
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract Centralized training of deep learning models poses privacy risks that hinder their deployment. Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a solution to address these risks, allowing multiple clients to train deep learning models collaboratively without sharing raw data. However, FL is vulnerable to the impact of heterogeneous distributed data, which weakens convergence stability and suboptimal performance of the trained model on local data. This is due to the discarding of the old local model at each round of training, which results in the loss of personalized information in the model critical for maintaining model accuracy and ensuring robustness. In this… More >

    Stochastic Models to Mitigate Sparse Sensor Attacks in Continuous-Time Non-Linear Cyber-Physical Systems

    Borja Bordel Sánchez, Ramón Alcarria, Tomás Robles
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 3189-3218, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039466
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract Cyber-Physical Systems are very vulnerable to sparse sensor attacks. But current protection mechanisms employ linear and deterministic models which cannot detect attacks precisely. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new non-linear generalized model to describe Cyber-Physical Systems. This model includes unknown multivariable discrete and continuous-time functions and different multiplicative noises to represent the evolution of physical processes and random effects in the physical and computational worlds. Besides, the digitalization stage in hardware devices is represented too. Attackers and most critical sparse sensor attacks are described through a stochastic process. The reconstruction and protection mechanisms are based on a weighted… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 3413-3442, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039583
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract Recently, automotive intrusion detection systems (IDSs) have emerged as promising defense approaches to counter attacks on in-vehicle networks (IVNs). However, the effectiveness of IDSs relies heavily on the quality of the datasets used for training and evaluation. Despite the availability of several datasets for automotive IDSs, there has been a lack of comprehensive analysis focusing on assessing these datasets. This paper aims to address the need for dataset assessment in the context of automotive IDSs. It proposes qualitative and quantitative metrics that are independent of specific automotive IDSs, to evaluate the quality of datasets. These metrics take into consideration various… More >

    Deep Facial Emotion Recognition Using Local Features Based on Facial Landmarks for Security System

    Youngeun An, Jimin Lee, EunSang Bak, Sungbum Pan
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 1817-1832, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039460
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract Emotion recognition based on facial expressions is one of the most critical elements of human-machine interfaces. Most conventional methods for emotion recognition using facial expressions use the entire facial image to extract features and then recognize specific emotions through a pre-trained model. In contrast, this paper proposes a novel feature vector extraction method using the Euclidean distance between the landmarks changing their positions according to facial expressions, especially around the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth. Then, we apply a new classifier using an ensemble network to increase emotion recognition accuracy. The emotion recognition performance was compared with the conventional algorithms… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 1891-1909, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039464
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract The rapid growth of modern vehicles with advanced technologies requires strong security to ensure customer safety. One key system that needs protection is the passive key entry system (PKES). To prevent attacks aimed at defeating the PKES, we propose a novel radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting method. Our method extracts the cepstral coefficient feature as a fingerprint of a radio frequency signal. This feature is then analyzed using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for device identification. In evaluation, we conducted experiments to determine the effectiveness of different cepstral coefficient features and the convolutional neural network-based model. Our experimental results revealed that… More >

    Nouf Saeed Alotaibi
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 2061-2078, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039446
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a network security mechanism that analyses all users’ and applications’ traffic and detects malicious activities in real-time. The existing IDS methods suffer from lower accuracy and lack the required level of security to prevent sophisticated attacks. This problem can result in the system being vulnerable to attacks, which can lead to the loss of sensitive data and potential system failure. Therefore, this paper proposes an Intrusion Detection System using Logistic Tanh-based Convolutional Neural Network Classification (LTH-CNN). Here, the Correlation Coefficient based Mayfly Optimization (CC-MA) algorithm is used to extract the input characteristics for the IDS… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.1, pp. 221-237, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039463
    （This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advances in Information Security Application)
    Abstract Intrusion detection involves identifying unauthorized network activity and recognizing whether the data constitute an abnormal network transmission. Recent research has focused on using semi-supervised learning mechanisms to identify abnormal network traffic to deal with labeled and unlabeled data in the industry. However, real-time training and classifying network traffic pose challenges, as they can lead to the degradation of the overall dataset and difficulties preventing attacks. Additionally, existing semi-supervised learning research might need to analyze the experimental results comprehensively. This paper proposes XA-GANomaly, a novel technique for explainable adaptive semi-supervised learning using GANomaly, an image anomalous detection model that dynamically trains… More >
