Abstract The Internet of Things (IoTs) is apace growing, billions of IoT devices are connected to the Internet which communicate and exchange data among each other. Applications of IoT can be found in many fields of engineering and sciences such as healthcare, traffic, agriculture, oil and gas industries, and logistics. In logistics, the products which are to be transported may be sensitive and perishable, and require controlled environment. Most of the commercially available logistic containers are not integrated with IoT devices to provide controlled environment parameters inside the container and to transmit data to a remote… More >

Abstract Machine learning is a technique that is widely employed in both the academic and industrial sectors all over the world. Machine learning algorithms that are intuitive can analyse risks and respond swiftly to breaches and security issues. It is crucial in offering a proactive security system in the field of cybersecurity. In real time, cybersecurity protects information, information systems, and networks from intruders. In the recent decade, several assessments on security and privacy estimates have noted a rapid growth in both the incidence and quantity of cybersecurity breaches. At an increasing rate, intruders are breaching… More >

Abstract Malicious software (malware) is one of the main cyber threats that organizations and Internet users are currently facing. Malware is a software code developed by cybercriminals for damage purposes, such as corrupting the system and data as well as stealing sensitive data. The damage caused by malware is substantially increasing every day. There is a need to detect malware efficiently and automatically and remove threats quickly from the systems. Although there are various approaches to tackle malware problems, their prevalence and stealthiness necessitate an effective method for the detection and prevention of malware attacks. The More >

Abstract IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) provides IP connectivity to the highly constrained nodes in the Internet of Things (IoTs). 6LoWPAN allows nodes with limited battery power and storage capacity to carry IPv6 datagrams over the lossy and error-prone radio links offered by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, thus acting as an adoption layer between the IPv6 protocol and IEEE 802.15.4 network. The data link layer of IEEE 802.15.4 in 6LoWPAN is based on AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), but the 6LoWPAN standard lacks and has omitted the security and privacy requirements at higher… More >

Abstract The Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) technique has been an interesting topic for several years. An Arabic CAPTCHA has recently been proposed to serve Arab users. Since there have been few scientific studies supporting a systematic design or tuning for users, this paper aims to analyze the Arabic text-based CAPTCHA at the parameter level by conducting an experimental study. Based on the results of this study, we propose an Arabic text-based CAPTCHA scheme with Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) adversarial images. To evaluate the security of the proposed More >

Abstract Technology is expanding like a mushroom, there are various benefits of technology, in contrary users are facing serious losses by this technology. Furthermore, people lost their lives, their loved ones, brain-related diseases, etc. The industry is eager to get one technology that can secure their finance-related matters, personal videos or pictures, precious contact numbers, and their current location. Things are going worst because every software has some sort of legacy, deficiency, and shortcomings through which exploiters gain access to any software. There are various ways to get illegitimate access but on the top is Linux More >

Abstract This study aimed to find out the awareness about the online security threat and understanding of the preventive measuresto secure the youthsfrom online risks. For this, a quantitative method was applied and the survey questionnaire was instituted to collect the data randomly from the youths studying in class eleven and higher. A total of 264 youths, 147 female and 117 male responded to the survey questionnaire. The data was organized and analyzed using Excel data analysis tool package, interpreted and represented in the form of graphs with some explanations. The awareness about the online security… More >

Abstract The emergence of industry 4.0 stems from research that has received a great deal of attention in the last few decades. Consequently, there has been a huge paradigm shift in the manufacturing and production sectors. However, this poses a challenge for cybersecurity and highlights the need to address the possible threats targeting (various pillars of) industry 4.0. However, before providing a concrete solution certain aspect need to be researched, for instance, cybersecurity threats and privacy issues in the industry. To fill this gap, this paper discusses potential solutions to cybersecurity targeting this industry and highlights… More >

Abstract Internet traffic encryption is a very common traffic protection method. Most internet traffic is protected by the encryption protocol called transport layer security (TLS). Although traffic encryption can ensure the security of communication, it also enables malware to hide its information and avoid being detected. At present, most of the malicious traffic detection methods are aimed at the unencrypted ones. There are some problems in the detection of encrypted traffic, such as high false positive rate, difficulty in feature extraction, and insufficient practicability. The accuracy and effectiveness of existing methods need to be improved. In… More >
