Abstract Predicting the usage of container cloud resources has always been an important and challenging problem in improving the performance of cloud resource clusters. We proposed an integrated prediction method of stacking container cloud resources based on variational modal decomposition (VMD)-Permutation entropy (PE) and long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network to solve the prediction difficulties caused by the non-stationarity and volatility of resource data. The variational modal decomposition algorithm decomposes the time series data of cloud resources to obtain intrinsic mode function and residual components, which solves the signal decomposition algorithm’s end-effect and modal confusion problems. The permutation entropy is used… More >

Abstract The power output state of photovoltaic power generation is affected by the earth's rotation and solar radiation intensity. On the one hand, its output sequence has daily periodicity; on the other hand, it has discrete randomness. With the development of new energy economy, the proportion of photovoltaic energy increased accordingly. In order to solve the problem of improving the energy conversion efficiency in the grid-connected optical network and ensure the stability of photovoltaic power generation, this paper proposes the short-term prediction of photovoltaic power generation based on the improved multi-scale permutation entropy, local mean decomposition and singular spectrum analysis algorithm.… More >

Abstract The effectiveness of the logic mining approach is strongly correlated to the quality of the induced logical representation that represent the behaviour of the data. Specifically, the optimum induced logical representation indicates the capability of the logic mining approach in generalizing the real datasets of different variants and dimensions. The main issues with the logic extracted by the standard logic mining techniques are lack of interpretability and the weakness in terms of the structural and arrangement of the 2 Satisfiability logic causing lower accuracy. To address the issues, the logical permutation serves as an alternative mechanism that can enhance the… More >

Abstract Digital image steganography technique based on hiding the secret data behind of cover image in such a way that it is not detected by the human visual system. This paper presents an image scrambling method that is very useful for grayscale secret images. In this method, the secret image decomposes in three parts based on the pixel's threshold value. The division of the color image into three parts is very easy based on the color channel but in the grayscale image, it is difficult to implement. The proposed image scrambling method is implemented in image steganography using discrete wavelet transform… More >

Abstract While designing and developing encryption algorithms for text and images, the main focus has remained on security. This has led to insufficient attention on the improvement of encryption efficiency, enhancement of hyperchaotic sequence randomness, and dynamic DNA-based S-box. In this regard, a new symmetric block cipher scheme has been proposed. It uses dynamic DNA-based S-box connected with MD5 and a hyperchaotic system to produce confusion and diffusion for encrypting color images. Our proposed scheme supports various size color images. It generates three DNA based S-boxes for substitution namely DNA_1_s-box, DNA_2_s-box and DNA_3_s-box, each of size . Next, the 4D hyperchaotic… 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 using DNA encoding rules. Thereafter,… More >

Abstract As cloud storage systems have developed and been applied in complex environments, their data security has become more prevalent in recent years. The issue has been approached through many models. Data is encrypted and stored in these models. One of the most widely used encryption methods is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). In AES, the Substitution box(S-box) is playing a significant part in imparting the job of confusion. The security of the entire cryptosystem depends on its nonlinearity. In this work, a robust and secure S-box is constructed using a novel method, i.e., fingerprint features-based permutation function. Two stages are… More >

Abstract This research presents, and clarifies the application of two permutation algorithms, based on chaotic map systems, and applied to a file of speech signals. They are the Arnold cat map-based permutation algorithm, and the Baker’s chaotic map-based permutation algorithm. Both algorithms are implemented on the same speech signal sample. Then, both the premier and the encrypted file histograms are documented and plotted. The speech signal amplitude values with time signals of the original file are recorded and plotted against the encrypted and decrypted files. Furthermore, the original file is plotted against the encrypted file, using the spectrogram frequencies of speech… More >

Abstract Oil spills cause environmental pollution with a serious threat to local communities and sustainable development. Accidental oil spills can be modelled as a stochastic process where each oil spill event is described by its spatial locations and incidence-time and hence allow for space-time cluster analysis. Space-time cluster analysis can detect space-time pattern distribution of oil spills which can be useful for implementing preventive measures and evidence-based decision making. This study aims to detect the space-time clusters of accidental oil spills in Rivers state, Nigeria through the Space-time Scan Statistic. The Space-time Scan Statistic was applied under the permutation model to… More >

Abstract Recently, reversible data hiding in encrypted image (RDHEI) has attracted extensive attention, which can be used in secure cloud computing and privacy protection effectively. In this paper, a novel RDHEI scheme based on block classification and permutation is proposed. Content owner first divides original image into non-overlapping blocks and then set a threshold to classify these blocks into smooth and non-smooth blocks respectively. After block classification, content owner utilizes a specific encryption method, including stream cipher encryption and block permutation to protect image content securely. For the encrypted image, data hider embeds additional secret information in the most significant bits… More >
