Abstract The digital revolution era has impacted various domains, including healthcare, where digital technology enables access to and control of medical information, remote patient monitoring, and enhanced clinical support based on the Internet of Health Things (IoHTs). However, data privacy and security, data management, and scalability present challenges to widespread adoption. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review that examines the authentication mechanisms utilized within IoHT, highlighting their critical roles in ensuring secure data exchange and patient privacy. This includes various authentication technologies and strategies, such as biometric and multi-factor authentication, as well as the influence More >

Abstract The rapid increase in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, coupled with a rise in sophisticated cyberattacks, demands robust intrusion detection systems. This study presents a holistic, intelligent intrusion detection system. It uses a combined method that integrates machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques to improve the protection of contemporary information technology (IT) systems. Unlike traditional signature-based or single-model methods, this system integrates the strengths of ensemble learning for binary classification and deep learning for multi-class classification. This combination provides a more nuanced and adaptable defense. The research utilizes the NF-UQ-NIDS-v2… More >

Abstract Smart environments offer various services, including smart cities, e-healthcare, transportation, and wearable devices, generating multiple traffic flows with different Quality of Service (QoS) demands. Achieving the desired QoS with security in this heterogeneous environment can be challenging due to traffic flows and device management, unoptimized routing with resource awareness, and security threats. Software Defined Networks (SDN) can help manage these devices through centralized SDN controllers and address these challenges. Various schemes have been proposed to integrate SDN with emerging technologies for better resource utilization and security. Software Defined Wireless Body Area Networks (SDWBAN) and Software More >
