Abstract In crowded cities, searching for the availability of parking lots is a herculean task as it results in the wastage of drivers’ time, increases air pollution, and traffic congestion. Smart parking systems facilitate the drivers to determine the information about the parking lot in real time and book them depending on the requirement. But the existing smart parking systems necessitate the drivers to reveal their sensitive information that includes their mobile number, personal identity, and desired destination. This disclosure of sensitive information makes the existing centralized smart parking systems more vulnerable to service providers’ security… More >

Abstract Multi-Source data plays an important role in the evolution of media convergence. Its fusion processing enables the further mining of data and utilization of data value and broadens the path for the sharing and dissemination of media data. However, it also faces serious problems in terms of protecting user and data privacy. Many privacy protection methods have been proposed to solve the problem of privacy leakage during the process of data sharing, but they suffer from two flaws: 1) the lack of algorithmic frameworks for specific scenarios such as dynamic datasets in the media domain;… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In recent decades, the cloud computing contributes a prominent role in health care sector as the patient health records are transferred and collected using cloud computing services. The doctors have switched to cloud computing as it provides multiple advantageous measures including wide storage space and easy availability without any limitations. This necessitates the medical field to be redesigned by cloud technology to preserve information about patient’s critical diseases, electrocardiogram (ECG) reports, and payment details. The proposed work utilizes a hybrid cloud pattern to share Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) resources over the private… More >

Abstract Nowadays, security plays an important role in Internet of Things (IoT) environment especially in medical services’ domains like disease prediction and medical data storage. In healthcare sector, huge volumes of data are generated on a daily basis, owing to the involvement of advanced health care devices. In general terms, health care images are highly sensitive to alterations due to which any modifications in its content can result in faulty diagnosis. At the same time, it is also significant to maintain the delicate contents of health care images during reconstruction stage. Therefore, an encryption system is… More >

Abstract This research paper puts emphasis on using cloud computing with Blockchain (BC) to improve the security and privacy in a cloud. The security of data is not guaranteed as there is always a risk of leakage of users’ data. Blockchain can be used in a multi-tenant cloud environment (MTCE) to improve the security of data, as it is a decentralized approach. Data is saved in unaltered form. Also, Blockchain is not owned by a single organization. The encryption process can be done using a Homomorphic encryption (HE) algorithm along with hashing technique, hereby allowing computations… More >

Abstract Fog computing is a rapidly growing technology that aids in pipelining the possibility of mitigating breaches between the cloud and edge servers. It facilitates the benefits of the network edge with the maximized probability of offering interaction with the cloud. However, the fog computing characteristics are susceptible to counteract the challenges of security. The issues present with the Physical Layer Security (PLS) aspect in fog computing which included authentication, integrity, and confidentiality has been considered as a reason for the potential issues leading to the security breaches. In this work, the Octonion Algebra-inspired Non- Commutative… More >

Abstract Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) enabled e-healthcare has the potential to greately improve conventional healthcare services significantly. However, security and privacy become major issues of IoMT because of the restricted processing abilities, storage, and energy constraints of the sensors. Therefore, it leads to infeasibility of developing traditional cryptographic solutions to the IoMT sensors. In order to ensure security on sensitive medical data, effective encryption and authentication techniques need to be designed to assure security of the patients and healthcare service providers. In this view, this study designs an effective metaheuristic optimization based encryption with user… More >

Abstract Deep learning is widely used in artificial intelligence fields such as computer vision, natural language recognition, and intelligent robots. With the development of deep learning, people’s expectations for this technology are increasing daily. Enterprises and individuals usually need a lot of computing power to support the practical work of deep learning technology. Many cloud service providers provide and deploy cloud computing environments. However, there are severe risks of privacy leakage when transferring data to cloud service providers and using data for model training, which makes users unable to use deep learning technology in cloud computing More >

Abstract The significant advantage of the quantum homomorphic encryption scheme is to ensure the perfect security of quantum private data. In this paper, a novel secure multiparty quantum homomorphic encryption scheme is proposed, which can complete arbitrary quantum computation on the private data of multiple clients without decryption by an almost dishonest server. Firstly, each client obtains a secure encryption key through the measurement device independent quantum key distribution protocol and encrypts the private data by using the encryption operator and key. Secondly, with the help of the almost dishonest server, the non-maximally entangled states are… More >

Abstract Blockchain has a profound impact on all areas of society by virtue of its immutability, decentralization and other characteristics. However, blockchain faces the problem of data privacy leakage during the application process, and the rapid development of quantum computing also brings the threat of quantum attack to blockchain. In this paper, we propose a lattice-based certificateless fully homomorphic encryption (LCFHE) algorithm based on approximate eigenvector firstly. And we use the lattice-based delegate algorithm and preimage sampling algorithm to extract part of the private key based on certificateless scheme, which is composed of the private key More >
