Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is extensively deployed in outdoor and open environments to effectively address traffic efficiency and safety issues by connecting vehicles to the network. However, due to the open and variable nature of its network topology, vehicles frequently engage in cross-domain interactions. During such processes, directly uploading sensitive information to roadside units for interaction may expose it to malicious tampering or interception by attackers, thus compromising the security of the cross-domain authentication process. Additionally, IoV imposes high real-time requirements, and existing cross-domain authentication schemes for IoV often encounter efficiency issues. To mitigate More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network system that connects physical devices through the Internet, allowing them to interact. Nowadays, IoT has become an integral part of our lives, offering convenience and smart functionality. However, the growing number of IoT devices has brought about a corresponding increase in cybersecurity threats, such as device vulnerabilities, data privacy concerns, and network susceptibilities. Integrating blockchain technology with IoT has proven to be a promising approach to enhance IoT security. Nevertheless, the emergence of quantum computing poses a significant challenge to the security of traditional classical cryptography used… More >

Abstract The traditional air traffic control information sharing data has weak security characteristics of personal privacy data and poor effect, which is easy to leads to the problem that the data is usurped. Starting from the application of the ATC (automatic train control) network, this paper focuses on the zero trust and zero trust access strategy and the tamper-proof method of information-sharing network data. Through the improvement of ATC’s zero trust physical layer authentication and network data distributed feature differentiation calculation, this paper reconstructs the personal privacy scope authentication structure and designs a tamper-proof method of… More >

Abstract Data is regarded as a valuable asset, and sharing data is a prerequisite for fully exploiting the value of data. However, the current medical data sharing scheme lacks a fair incentive mechanism, and the authenticity of data cannot be guaranteed, resulting in low enthusiasm of participants. A fair and trusted medical data trading scheme based on smart contracts is proposed, which aims to encourage participants to be honest and improve their enthusiasm for participation. The scheme uses zero-knowledge range proof for trusted verification, verifies the authenticity of the patient’s data and the specific attributes of… More >

Abstract The dynamic landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT) is set to revolutionize the pace of interaction among entities, ushering in a proliferation of applications characterized by heightened quality and diversity. Among the pivotal applications within the realm of IoT, as a significant example, the Smart Grid (SG) evolves into intricate networks of energy deployment marked by data integration. This evolution concurrently entails data interchange with other IoT entities. However, there are also several challenges including data-sharing overheads and the intricate establishment of trusted centers in the IoT ecosystem. In this paper, we introduce a More >

Abstract Cloud storage is widely used by large companies to store vast amounts of data and files, offering flexibility, financial savings, and security. However, information shoplifting poses significant threats, potentially leading to poor performance and privacy breaches. Blockchain-based cognitive computing can help protect and maintain information security and privacy in cloud platforms, ensuring businesses can focus on business development. To ensure data security in cloud platforms, this research proposed a blockchain-based Hybridized Data Driven Cognitive Computing (HD2C) model. However, the proposed HD2C framework addresses breaches of the privacy information of mixed participants of the Internet of… More >

Abstract Rooftop units (RTUs) were commonly employed in small commercial buildings that represent that can frequently do not take the higher level maintenance that chillers receive. Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) tools can be employed for RTU methods to ensure essential faults are addressed promptly. In this aspect, this article presents an Optimal Deep Belief Network based Fault Detection and Classification on Packaged Rooftop Units (ODBNFDC-PRTU) model. The ODBNFDC-PRTU technique considers fault diagnosis as a multi-class classification problem and is handled using DL models. For fault diagnosis in RTUs, the ODBNFDC-PRTU model exploits the deep belief More >

Abstract With the development of cloud computing technology, more and more data owners upload their local data to the public cloud server for storage and calculation. While this can save customers’ operating costs, it also poses privacy and security challenges. Such challenges can be solved using secure multi-party computation (SMPC), but this still exposes more security issues. In cloud computing using SMPC, clients need to process their data and submit the processed data to the cloud server, which then performs the calculation and returns the results to each client. Each client and server must be honest.… More >

Abstract

The ¹⁰boron neutron-capture therapy (BNCT) is an emerging antitumoral method that shows increasing biomedical interest. BNCT is based on the selective accumulation of the ¹⁰boron isotope within the tumor, which is then irradiated with low-energy thermal neutrons, generating nuclear fission that produces ⁷lithium, ⁴helium, and γ rays. Simple catechol-borate esters have been rather overlooked as precursors of melanin biosynthesis, and therefore, a proof-of-concept approach for using dopamine-borate (DABO) as a suitable boron-containing candidate for potential BNCT is presented here. DABO can spontaneously oxidize and autopolymerize in vitro, giving a soluble, eumelanin-like brown-black poly-DABO product. Melanotic melanoma cell cultures treated

Abstract Liquid storage, particularly oil and petrochemical products which are considered hazardous liquid, are an important part of the oil industry. Thin-walled vertical cylindrical steel storage tanks are widely used in recent years. Due to high sensitivity of these structures in an earthquake and other external excitations may lead to catastrophic consequences. For instance, huge economic losses, environmental damages, and casualities, many studies have been done about these structures. past studies showed that liquid storage tanks, equipped with a floating roof, are potentially vulnerable while subjected to seismic loads and earthquake has been considered as one… More >
