Abstract Pneumothorax is a thoracic condition that occurs when a person’s lungs collapse, causing air to enter the pleural cavity, the area close to the lungs and chest wall. The most persistent disease, as well as one that necessitates particular patient care and the privacy of their health records. The radiologists find it challenging to diagnose pneumothorax due to the variations in images. Deep learning-based techniques are commonly employed to solve image categorization and segmentation problems. However, it is challenging to employ it in the medical field due to privacy issues and a lack of data. To address this issue, a… More >

Abstract It is crucial, while using healthcare data, to assess the advantages of data privacy against the possible drawbacks. Data from several sources must be combined for use in many data mining applications. The medical practitioner may use the results of association rule mining performed on this aggregated data to better personalize patient care and implement preventive measures. Historically, numerous heuristics (e.g., greedy search) and metaheuristics-based techniques (e.g., evolutionary algorithm) have been created for the positive association rule in privacy preserving data mining (PPDM). When it comes to connecting seemingly unrelated diseases and drugs, negative association rules may be more informative… More >

Abstract Privacy-preserving online disease prediction and diagnosis are critical issues in the emerging edge-cloud-based healthcare system. Online patient data processing from remote places may lead to severe privacy problems. Moreover, the existing cloud-based healthcare system takes more latency and energy consumption during diagnosis due to offloading of live patient data to remote cloud servers. Solve the privacy problem. The proposed research introduces the edge-cloud enabled privacy-preserving healthcare system by exploiting additive homomorphic encryption schemes. It can help maintain the privacy preservation and confidentiality of patients’ medical data during diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. In addition, the energy and delay aware computational offloading… More >

Abstract Recently, smart cities have emerged as an effective approach to deliver high-quality services to the people through adaptive optimization of the available resources. Despite the advantages of smart cities, security remains a huge challenge to be overcome. Simultaneously, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is the most proficient tool to accomplish security in this scenario. Besides, blockchain exhibits significance in promoting smart city designing, due to its effective characteristics like immutability, transparency, and decentralization. In order to address the security problems in smart cities, the current study designs a Privacy Preserving Secure Framework using Blockchain with Optimal Deep Learning (PPSF-BODL) model. The… More >

Abstract Protecting the privacy of data in the multi-cloud is a crucial task. Data mining is a technique that protects the privacy of individual data while mining those data. The most significant task entails obtaining data from numerous remote databases. Mining algorithms can obtain sensitive information once the data is in the data warehouse. Many traditional algorithms/techniques promise to provide safe data transfer, storing, and retrieving over the cloud platform. These strategies are primarily concerned with protecting the privacy of user data. This study aims to present data mining with privacy protection (DMPP) using precise elliptic curve cryptography (PECC), which builds… More >

Abstract VANETs are a subclass of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) that enable efficient data transmission between vehicles and other vehicles, road side units (RSUs), and infrastructure. The purpose of VANET is to enhance security, road traffic management, and traveler services. Due to the nature of real-time issues such as reliability and privacy, messages transmitted via the VANET must be secret and confidential. As a result, this study provides a method for privacy-preserving reliable data transmission in a cluster-based VANET employing Fog Computing (PPRDA-FC). The PPRDA-FC technique suggested here seeks to ensure reliable message transmission by utilising FC and an optimal… More >
