Abstract The field of biometric identification has seen significant advancements over the years, with research focusing on enhancing the accuracy and security of these systems. One of the key developments is the integration of deep learning techniques in biometric systems. However, despite these advancements, certain challenges persist. One of the most significant challenges is scalability over growing complexity. Traditional methods either require maintaining and securing a growing database, introducing serious security challenges, or relying on retraining the entire model when new data is introduced—a process that can be computationally expensive and complex. This challenge underscores the… More >

Abstract The increasing adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems in smart manufacturing is leading to raise cyberattack numbers and pressing the requirement for intrusion detection systems (IDS) to be effective. However, existing datasets for IDS training often lack relevance to modern IIoT environments, limiting their applicability for research and development. To address the latter gap, this paper introduces the HiTar-2024 dataset specifically designed for IIoT systems. As a consequence, that can be used by an IDS to detect imminent threats. Likewise, HiTar-2024 was generated using the AREZZO simulator, which replicates realistic smart manufacturing scenarios.… More >

Abstract This paper introduces the Integrated Security Embedded Resilience Architecture (ISERA) as an advanced resilience mechanism for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) environments. The ISERA framework integrates security by design principles, micro-segmentation, and Island Mode Operation (IMO) to enhance cyber resilience and ensure continuous, secure operations. The methodology deploys a Forward-Thinking Architecture Strategy (FTAS) algorithm, which utilises an industrial Intrusion Detection System (IDS) implemented with Python’s Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) library. The FTAS algorithm successfully identified and responded to cyber-attacks, ensuring minimal system disruption. ISERA has been validated through comprehensive testing scenarios… More >

Abstract To improve the estimation accuracy of state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) for lithium-ion batteries, in this paper, a joint estimation method of SOC and SOH at charging cut-off voltage based on genetic algorithm (GA) combined with back propagation (BP) neural network is proposed, the research addresses the issue of data manipulation resulting from cyber-attacks. Firstly, anomalous data stemming from cyber-attacks are identified and eliminated using the isolated forest algorithm, followed by data restoration. Secondly, the incremental capacity (IC) curve is derived from the restored data using the Kalman filtering algorithm, with… More >

Abstract The primary concern of modern technology is cyber attacks targeting the Internet of Things. As it is one of the most widely used networks today and vulnerable to attacks. Real-time threats pose with modern cyber attacks that pose a great danger to the Internet of Things (IoT) networks, as devices can be monitored or service isolated from them and affect users in one way or another. Securing Internet of Things networks is an important matter, as it requires the use of modern technologies and methods, and real and up-to-date data to design and train systems… More >

Abstract The high performance of IoT technology in transportation networks has led to the increasing adoption of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology. The functional advantages of IoV include online communication services, accident prevention, cost reduction, and enhanced traffic regularity. Despite these benefits, IoV technology is susceptible to cyber-attacks, which can exploit vulnerabilities in the vehicle network, leading to perturbations, disturbances, non-recognition of traffic signs, accidents, and vehicle immobilization. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art achievements and developments in applying Deep Transfer Learning (DTL) models for Intrusion Detection Systems in the Internet of Vehicles (IDS-IoV) based on anomaly… More >

Abstract Smart Industrial environments use the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for their routine operations and transform their industrial operations with intelligent and driven approaches. However, IIoT devices are vulnerable to cyber threats and exploits due to their connectivity with the internet. Traditional signature-based IDS are effective in detecting known attacks, but they are unable to detect unknown emerging attacks. Therefore, there is the need for an IDS which can learn from data and detect new threats. Ensemble Machine Learning (ML) and individual Deep Learning (DL) based IDS have been developed, and these individual models achieved… More >

Abstract The application field for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology and its adoption rate have been increasing steadily in the past years. Decreasing cost of commercial drones has enabled their use at a scale broader than ever before. However, increasing the complexity of UAVs and decreasing the cost, both contribute to a lack of implemented security measures and raise new security and safety concerns. For instance, the issue of implausible or tampered UAV sensor measurements is barely addressed in the current research literature and thus, requires more attention from the research community. The goal of this… More >

Abstract The social engineering cyber-attack is where culprits mislead the users by getting the login details which provides the information to the evil server called phishing. The deep learning approaches and the machine learning are compared in the proposed system for presenting the methodology that can detect phishing websites via Uniform Resource Locator (URLs) analysis. The legal class is composed of the home pages with no inclusion of login forms in most of the present modern solutions, which deals with the detection of phishing. Contrarily, the URLs in both classes from the login page due, considering… More >
