Abstract Sensor networks are regularly sent to monitor certain physical properties that run in length from divisions of a second to many months or indeed several years. Nodes must advance their energy use for expanding network lifetime. The fault detection of the network node is very significant for guaranteeing the correctness of monitoring results. Due to different network resource constraints and malicious attacks, security assurance in wireless sensor networks has been a difficult task. The implementation of these features requires larger space due to distributed module. This research work proposes new sensor node architecture integrated with a self-testing core and cryptoprocessor… More >

Abstract Data encryption is essential in securing exchanged data between connected parties. Encryption is the process of transforming readable text into scrambled, unreadable text using secure keys. Stream ciphers are one type of an encryption algorithm that relies on only one key for decryption and as well as encryption. Many existing encryption algorithms are developed based on either a mathematical foundation or on other biological, social or physical behaviours. One technique is to utilise the behavioural aspects of game theory in a stream cipher. In this paper, we introduce an enhanced Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-coded stream cipher based on an iterated n-player… More >

Abstract There are many cloud data security techniques and algorithms available that can be used to detect attacks on cloud data, but these techniques and algorithms cannot be used to protect data from an attacker. Cloud cryptography is the best way to transmit data in a secure and reliable format. Various researchers have developed various mechanisms to transfer data securely, which can convert data from readable to unreadable, but these algorithms are not sufficient to provide complete data security. Each algorithm has some data security issues. If some effective data protection techniques are used, the attacker will not be able to… More >

Abstract This paper introduces an efficient image cryptography system. The proposed image cryptography system is based on employing the two-dimensional (2D) chaotic henon map (CHM) in the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The proposed DFT-based CHM image cryptography has two procedures which are the encryption and decryption procedures. In the proposed DFT-based CHM image cryptography, the confusion is employed using the CHM while the diffusion is realized using the DFT. So, the proposed DFT-based CHM image cryptography achieves both confusion and diffusion characteristics. The encryption procedure starts by applying the DFT on the image then the DFT transformed image is scrambled using… More >

Abstract Smart Grids (SGs) are introduced as a solution for standard power distribution. The significant capabilities of smart grids help to monitor consumer behaviors and power systems. However, the delay-sensitive network faces numerous challenges in which security and privacy gain more attention. Threats to transmitted messages, control over smart grid information and user privacy are the major concerns in smart grid security. Providing secure communication between the service provider and the user is the only possible solution for these security issues. So, this research work presents an efficient mutual authentication and key agreement protocol for smart grid communication using elliptic curve… More >

Abstract Wireless IoT Sensor Network can handle audio, video, text, etc., through the interconnection of ubiquitous devices. The entertainment and application-centric network relies on its autonomous nodes for handling large streams of multimedia data. Security breaches and threats due to insider attacks reduce the data handling and distribution capacity of the nodes. For addressing the insider attacks problem, Session-Critical Distributed Authentication Method (SCDAM) is proposed. The proposed method relies on short-lived concealed authentication based on an improved elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) algorithm. In this authentication, the session time and the interrupts are accounted for, providing end-to-end authentication. The session keys are… More >

Abstract The generation method of the key stream and the structure of the algorithm determine the security of the cryptosystem. The classical chaotic map has simple dynamic behavior and few control parameters, so it is not suitable for modern cryptography. In this paper, we design a new 2D hyperchaotic system called 2D simple structure and complex dynamic behavior map (2D-SSCDB). The 2D-SSCDB has a simple structure but has complex dynamic behavior. The Lyapunov exponent verifies that the 2D-SSCDB has hyperchaotic behavior, and the parameter space in the hyperchaotic state is extensive and continuous. Trajectory analysis and some randomness tests verify that… More >

Abstract Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) is the framework for social networking with a realistic framework. In the MANET environment, based on the query, information is transmitted between the sender and receiver. In the MANET network, the nodes within the communication range are involved in data transmission. Even the nodes that lie outside of the communication range are involved in the transmission of relay messages. However, due to the openness and frequent mobility of nodes, they are subjected to the vast range of security threats in MANET. Hence, it is necessary to develop an appropriate security mechanism for the data MANET… More >

Abstract Due to the enormous usage of the internet for transmission of data over a network, security and authenticity become major risks. Major challenges encountered in biometric system are the misuse of enrolled biometric templates stored in database server. To describe these issues various algorithms are implemented to deliver better protection to biometric traits such as physical (Face, fingerprint, Ear etc.) and behavioural (Gesture, Voice, tying etc.) by means of matching and verification process. In this work, biometric security system with fuzzy extractor and convolutional neural networks using face attribute is proposed which provides different choices for supporting cryptographic processes to… More >

Abstract Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a modern technology with a wide range of applications and greatly attractive benefits, for example, self-governing, low expenditure on execution and data communication, long-term function, and unsupervised access to the network. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an attractive, exciting paradigm. By applying communication technologies in sensors and supervising features, WSNs have initiated communication between the IoT devices. Though IoT offers access to the highest amount of information collected through WSNs, it leads to privacy management problems. Hence, this paper provides a Logistic Regression machine learning with the Elliptical Curve Cryptography technique (LRECC) to… More >
