Abstract Present day healthcare sector is frequently victimized by the intruders. Healthcare data industry has borne the brunt of the highest number of data breach episodes in the last few years. The key reason for this is attributed to the sensitivity of healthcare data and the high costs entailed in trading the data over the dark web. Hence, usable-security evaluation of healthcare information systems is the need of hour so as to identify the vulnerabilities and provide preventive measures as a shield against the breaches. Usable-security assessment will help the software designers and developers to prioritize… More >

Abstract At present, the restructured electricity market has been a prominent research area and attracted attention. The motivation of the restructuring in the power system is to introduce the competition at various levels and to generate a correct economic signal to reduce the generation cost. As a result, it is required to have an effective price scheme to deliver useful information about the power. The pricing mechanism is dependent on the demand at the load level, the generator bids, and the limits of the transmission network. To address the congestion charges, Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) is… More >

Abstract The trend of cloud computing is accelerating along with emerging technologies such as utility computing, grid computing, and distributed computing. Cloud computing is showing remarkable potential to provide flexible, cost-effective, and powerful resources across the internet, and is a driving force in today’s most prominent computing technologies. The cloud offers the means to remotely access and store data while virtual machines access data over a network resource. Furthermore, cloud computing plays a leading role in the fourth industrial revolution. Everyone uses the cloud daily life when accessing Dropbox, various Google services, and Microsoft Office 365.… More >

Abstract The pattern password method is amongst the most attractive authentication methods and involves drawing a pattern; this is seen as easier than typing a password. However, since people with visual impairments have been increasing their usage of smart devices, this method is inaccessible for them as it requires them to select points on the touch screen. Therefore, this paper exploits the haptic technology by introducing a vibration-based pattern password approach in which the vibration feedback plays an important role. This approach allows visually impaired people to use a pattern password through two developed vibration feedback: More >

Abstract Intrusion detection systems that have emerged in recent decades can identify a variety of malicious attacks that target networks by employing several detection approaches. However, the current approaches have challenges in detecting intrusions, which may affect the performance of the overall detection system as well as network performance. For the time being, one of the most important creative technological advancements that plays a significant role in the professional world today is blockchain technology. Blockchain technology moves in the direction of persistent revolution and change. It is a chain of blocks that covers information and maintains… More >

Abstract Nowadays, machine learning (ML) algorithms cannot succeed without the availability of an enormous amount of training data. The data could contain sensitive information, which needs to be protected. Membership inference attacks attempt to find out whether a target data point is used to train a certain ML model, which results in security and privacy implications. The leakage of membership information can vary from one machine-learning algorithm to another. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study to explore the performance of membership inference attacks against three different machine learning algorithms, namely, K-nearest neighbors, random forest, More >

Abstract Technology is expanding like a mushroom, there are various benefits of technology, in contrary users are facing serious losses by this technology. Furthermore, people lost their lives, their loved ones, brain-related diseases, etc. The industry is eager to get one technology that can secure their finance-related matters, personal videos or pictures, precious contact numbers, and their current location. Things are going worst because every software has some sort of legacy, deficiency, and shortcomings through which exploiters gain access to any software. There are various ways to get illegitimate access but on the top is Linux More >

Abstract The rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has brought great convenience to people’s life. However, the security protection capability of IoT is weak and vulnerable. Therefore, more protection needs to be done for the security of IoT. The paper proposes an intrusion detection method for IoT based on multi GBDT feature reduction and hierarchical traffic detection model. Firstly, GBDT is used to filter the features of IoT traffic data sets BoT-IoT and UNSW-NB15 to reduce the traffic feature dimension. At the same time, in order to improve the reliability of feature filtering, this… More >

Abstract In this paper, a cybersecurity threat warning model based on ant colony algorithm is designed to strengthen the accuracy of the cybersecurity threat warning model in the warning process and optimize its algorithm structure. Through the ant colony algorithm structure, the local global optimal solution is obtained; and the cybersecurity threat warning index system is established. Next, the above two steps are integrated to build the cybersecurity threat warning model based on ant colony algorithm, and comparative experiment is also designed. The experimental results show that, compared with the traditional qualitative differential game-based cybersecurity More >
