Abstract The growing usage of Android smartphones has led to a significant rise in incidents of Android malware and privacy breaches. This escalating security concern necessitates the development of advanced technologies capable of automatically detecting and mitigating malicious activities in Android applications (apps). Such technologies are crucial for safeguarding user data and maintaining the integrity of mobile devices in an increasingly digital world. Current methods employed to detect sensitive data leaks in Android apps are hampered by two major limitations they require substantial computational resources and are prone to a high frequency of false positives. This means that while attempting to… More >

Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology promote several benefits to network operators, including reduced maintenance costs, increased network operational performance, simplified network lifecycle, and policies management. Network vulnerabilities try to modify services provided by Network Function Virtualization MANagement and Orchestration (NFV MANO), and malicious attacks in different scenarios disrupt the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) and Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) lifecycle management related to network services or individual Virtualized Network Function (VNF). This paper proposes an anomaly detection mechanism that monitors threats in NFV MANO and manages promptly and adaptively to implement and handle security functions in order… More >

Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide, as it has emerged as the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women. Early detection and effective treatment of BC can help save women’s lives. Developing an efficient technology-based detection system can lead to non-destructive and preliminary cancer detection techniques. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework that can effectively diagnose cancerous cells from benign cells using the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (CBIS-DDSM) data set. The novelty of the proposed framework lies in the integration of various techniques, where the fusion… More >

Abstract Modern networks are at risk from a variety of threats as a result of the enormous growth in internet-based traffic. By consuming time and resources, intrusive traffic hampers the efficient operation of network infrastructure. An effective strategy for preventing, detecting, and mitigating intrusion incidents will increase productivity. A crucial element of secure network traffic is Intrusion Detection System (IDS). An IDS system may be host-based or network-based to monitor intrusive network activity. Finding unusual internet traffic has become a severe security risk for intelligent devices. These systems are negatively impacted by several attacks, which are slowing computation. In addition, networked… More >

Abstract The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart home technologies has driven the need for speech recognition-based solutions. This demand stems from the quest for more intuitive and natural interaction between users and smart devices in their homes. Speech recognition allows users to control devices and perform everyday actions through spoken commands, eliminating the need for physical interfaces or touch screens and enabling specific tasks such as turning on or off the light, heating, or lowering the blinds. The purpose of this study is to develop a speech-based classification model for recognizing human actions in the smart home. It seeks… More >

Abstract Author’s Profile (AP) may only be displayed as an article, similar to text collection of material, and must differentiate between gender, age, education, occupation, local language, and relative personality traits. In several information-related fields, including security, forensics, and marketing, and medicine, AP prediction is a significant issue. For instance, it is important to comprehend who wrote the harassing communication. In essence, from a marketing perspective, businesses will get to know one another through examining items and websites on the internet. Accordingly, they will direct their efforts towards a certain gender or age restriction based on the kind of individuals who… More >

Abstract The exponential growth of Internet and network usage has necessitated heightened security measures to protect against data and network breaches. Intrusions, executed through network packets, pose a significant challenge for firewalls to detect and prevent due to the similarity between legitimate and intrusion traffic. The vast network traffic volume also complicates most network monitoring systems and algorithms. Several intrusion detection methods have been proposed, with machine learning techniques regarded as promising for dealing with these incidents. This study presents an Intrusion Detection System Based on Stacking Ensemble Learning base (Random Forest, Decision Tree, and k-Nearest-Neighbors). The proposed system employs pre-processing… More >
