Abstract Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0/5.0 offer several interconnections between machinery, equipment, processes, and personnel in diverse application areas namely logistics, supply chain, manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare. The conventional security-based solutions in IIoT environment get degraded due to the third parties. Therefore, the recent blockchain technology (BCT) can be employed to resolve trust issues and eliminate the need for third parties. Therefore, this paper presents a novel blockchain enabled secure optimal lightweight cryptography based image encryption (BC-LWCIE) technique for industry 4.0 environment. In addition, the BC-LWCIE technique involves the design of an optimal More >

Abstract These days, investigations of information are becoming essential for various associations all over the globe. By and large, different associations need to perform information examinations on their joined data sets. Privacy and security have become a relentless concern wherein business experts do not desire to contribute their classified transaction data. Therefore, there is a requirement to build a proficient methodology that can process the broad mixture of data and convert those data into meaningful knowledge to the user without forfeiting the security and privacy of individuals’ crude information. We devised two unique protocols for frequent… More >

Abstract Biometric authentication is a rapidly growing trend that is gaining increasing attention in the last decades. It achieves safe access to systems using biometrics instead of the traditional passwords. The utilization of a biometric in its original format makes it usable only once. Therefore, a cancelable biometric template should be used, so that it can be replaced when it is attacked. Cancelable biometrics aims to enhance the security and privacy of biometric authentication. Digital encryption is an efficient technique to be used in order to generate cancelable biometric templates. In this paper, a highly-secure encryption… More >

Abstract Cloud computing is a rapid growing technology which delivers computing services such as servers, storage, database, networking, software and analytics. It has brought a new way to securely store and share information and data with multiple users. When authorized person access these clouds, the released data should not compromise any individual’s privacy and identity should not be revealed. Fog Computing is the extension of cloud with decentralized structure which stores the data in locations somewhere between the data source and cloud. The goal of fog computing is to provide high security, improve performance and network More >

Abstract Rapid advancements of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) pose serious security issues by revealing secret data. Therefore, security data becomes a crucial issue in IIoT communication where secrecy needs to be guaranteed in real time. Practically, AI techniques can be utilized to design image steganographic techniques in IIoT. In addition, encryption techniques act as an important role to save the actual information generated from the IIoT devices to avoid unauthorized access. In order to accomplish secure data transmission in IIoT environment, this study presents novel encryption with image steganography based… More >

Abstract The security of Internet of Things (IoT) is a challenging task for researchers due to plethora of IoT networks. Side Channel Attacks (SCA) are one of the major concerns. The prime objective of SCA is to acquire the information by observing the power consumption, electromagnetic (EM) field, timing analysis, and acoustics of the device. Later, the attackers perform statistical functions to recover the key. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm has proved to be a good security solution for constrained IoT devices. This paper implements a simulation model which is used to modify the AES algorithm… More >

Abstract In recent years, vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs) have garnered considerable interest in the field of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) due to the added safety and preventive measures for drivers and passengers. Regardless of the benefits provided by VANET, it confronts various challenges, most notably in terms of user/message security and privacy. Due to the decentralised nature of VANET and its changeable topologies, it is difficult to detect rogue or malfunctioning nodes or users. Using an improved grasshopper optimization algorithm (IGOA-PHE) technique in VANETs, this research develops a new privacy-preserving partly homomorphic encryption with optimal More >

Abstract The technological advances made possible by the Internet, coupled with the unforeseen critical circumstances set in motion by the Covid-19 pandemic, have greatly increased the generation and transmission of medical images every day. Medical image transmission over an unsecured public network threatens the privacy of sensitive patient information. We have, in this paper, designed a new secure color medical image encryption algorithm based on binary plane decomposition, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) computing, and the chaotic Rössler dynamical system. At first, a bit-by-bit swap is performed on twenty four binary planes of the input image and encoded… More >
