Abstract Asynchronous federated learning (AsynFL) can effectively mitigate the impact of heterogeneity of edge nodes on joint training while satisfying participant user privacy protection and data security. However, the frequent exchange of massive data can lead to excess communication overhead between edge and central nodes regardless of whether the federated learning (FL) algorithm uses synchronous or asynchronous aggregation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can simultaneously take into account device heterogeneity and edge node energy consumption reduction. This paper proposes a novel Fixed-point Asynchronous Federated Learning (FixedAsynFL) algorithm, which could mitigate the resource consumption caused by frequent… More >

Abstract As an essential component of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), electric vehicles (EVs) can store massive amounts of electric power in their batteries and send power back to a charging station (CS) at peak hours to balance the power supply and generate profits. However, when the system collects the corresponding power data, several severe security and privacy issues are encountered. The identity and private injection data may be maliciously intercepted by network attackers and be tampered with to damage the services of ITS and smart grids. Existing approaches requiring high computational overhead render them unsuitable for the resource-constrained Internet of Things… More >

Abstract In crowded cities, searching for the availability of parking lots is a herculean task as it results in the wastage of drivers’ time, increases air pollution, and traffic congestion. Smart parking systems facilitate the drivers to determine the information about the parking lot in real time and book them depending on the requirement. But the existing smart parking systems necessitate the drivers to reveal their sensitive information that includes their mobile number, personal identity, and desired destination. This disclosure of sensitive information makes the existing centralized smart parking systems more vulnerable to service providers’ security breaches, single points of failure,… More >

Abstract Cloud computing is a technology that provides secure storage space for the customer’s massive data and gives them the facility to retrieve and transmit their data efficiently through a secure network in which encryption and decryption algorithms are being deployed. In cloud computation, data processing, storage, and transmission can be done through laptops and mobile devices. Data Storing in cloud facilities is expanding each day and data is the most significant asset of clients. The important concern with the transmission of information to the cloud is security because there is no perceivability of the client’s data. They have to be… More >

Abstract Concept drift is a main security issue that has to be resolved since it presents a significant barrier to the deployment of machine learning (ML) models. Due to attackers’ (and/or benign equivalents’) dynamic behavior changes, testing data distribution frequently diverges from original training data over time, resulting in substantial model failures. Due to their dispersed and dynamic nature, distributed denial-of-service attacks pose a danger to cybersecurity, resulting in attacks with serious consequences for users and businesses. This paper proposes a novel design for concept drift analysis and detection of malware attacks like Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) in the network.… More >

Abstract Many Internet of things application scenarios have the characteristics of limited hardware resources and limited energy supply, which are not suitable for traditional security technology. The security technology based on the physical mechanism has attracted extensive attention. How to improve the key generation rate has always been one of the urgent problems to be solved in the security technology based on the physical mechanism. In this paper, superlattice technology is introduced to the security field of Internet of things, and a high-speed symmetric key generation scheme based on superlattice for Internet of things is proposed. In order to ensure the… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are created and affect our daily lives. You can find applications in various fields such as health, accident, life, manufacturing, production management, network management and many other fields. WSN now connects to the Internet of Things, connects the sensor to the Internet, and then uses it for collaboration and collaboration. However, when WSN is part of the internet we need to be able to study and analyze related terms. In this article, we’re going to look at different ways to get WSN online and identify the challenges that address in future as well. More >

Abstract At the present time, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has swiftly evolved and emerged, and picture data that is collected by terminal devices or IoT nodes are tied to the user's private data. The use of image sensors as an automation tool for the IIoT is increasingly becoming more common. Due to the fact that this organisation transfers an enormous number of photographs at any one time, one of the most significant issues that it has is reducing the total quantity of data that is sent and, as a result, the available bandwidth, without compromising the image quality. Image… More >

Abstract With the emergence of cloud technologies, the services of healthcare systems have grown. Simultaneously, machine learning systems have become important tools for developing matured and decision-making computer applications. Both cloud computing and machine learning technologies have contributed significantly to the success of healthcare services. However, in some areas, these technologies are needed to provide and decide the next course of action for patients suffering from diabetic kidney disease (DKD) while ensuring privacy preservation of the medical data. To address the cloud data privacy problem, we proposed a DKD prediction module in a framework using cloud computing services and a data… More >

Abstract The cloud allows clients to store and share data. Depending on the user’s needs, it is imperative to design an effective access control plan to share the information only with approved users. The user loses control of their data when the data is outsourced to the cloud. Therefore, access control mechanisms will become a significant challenging problem. The Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is an essential solution in which the user can control data access. CP-ABE encrypts the data under a limited access policy after the user sets some access policies. The user can decrypt the data if they satisfy the… More >
