Abstract In the modern world, law enforcement authorities are facing challenges due to the advanced technology used by criminals to commit crimes. Criminals follow specific patterns to carry out their crimes, which can be identified using machine learning and swarm intelligence approaches. This article proposes the use of the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm to create an associative classification of crime data, which can reveal potential relationships between different features and crime types. The experiments conducted in this research show that this approach can discover various associations among the features of crime data and the specific patterns that major crime types depend… More >

Abstract As a typical representative of web 2.0, Ethereum has significantly boosted the development of blockchain finance. However, due to the anonymity and financial attributes of Ethereum, the number of phishing scams is increasing rapidly and causing massive losses, which poses a serious threat to blockchain financial security. Phishing scam address identification enables to detect phishing scam addresses and alerts users to reduce losses. However, there are three primary challenges in phishing scam address recognition task: 1) the lack of publicly available large datasets of phishing scam address transactions; 2) the use of multi-order transaction information requires a large number of… More >

Abstract Hospitals provide daily health services for thousands of patients. People, processes, and technologies drive the objectives and goals of the hospitals to ensure optimal and satisfactory health care services are rendered to their customers. Due to the sensitivity of the organization data and patient data, it is essential to ensure that the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security of these data are considered. The leadership of the organization (managers and executives) must integrate a robust security plan when choosing the technologies that will be used to drive the organization’s processes. This paper will evaluate the existing technologies risk assessment, and the… More >

Abstract In computer security, the number of malware threats is increasing and causing damage to systems for individuals or organizations, necessitating a new detection technique capable of detecting a new variant of malware more efficiently than traditional anti-malware methods. Traditional anti-malware software cannot detect new malware variants, and conventional techniques such as static analysis, dynamic analysis, and hybrid analysis are time-consuming and rely on domain experts. Visualization-based malware detection has recently gained popularity due to its accuracy, independence from domain experts, and faster detection time. Visualization-based malware detection uses the image representation of the malware binary and applies image processing techniques… More >

Abstract Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are designed in accordance with the ad hoc mobile networks (MANETs), i.e., impulsive formation of a wireless network for V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) communication. Each vehicle is preserved as a node which remains as share of network. All the vehicle in the network is made to be under communication in a VANET because of which all the vehicles in the range can be made connected to a to a unit & a wide network can be established with a huge range. Healthier traffic management, vehicle-to-vehicle communication and provision of road information can be done in VANETs. There… More >

Abstract Machine learning (ML) is often used to solve the problem of malware detection and classification, and various machine learning approaches are adapted to the problem of malware classification; still acquiring poor performance by the way of feature selection, and classification. To address the problem, an efficient novel algorithm for adaptive feature-centered XG Boost Ensemble Learner Classifier “AFC-XG Boost” is presented in this paper. The proposed model has been designed to handle varying data sets of malware detection obtained from Kaggle data set. The model turns the XG Boost classifier in several stages to optimize performance. At preprocessing stage, the data… More >

Abstract Increasingly advanced image processing technology has made digital image editing easier and easier. With image processing software at one’s fingertips, one can easily alter the content of an image, and the altered image is so realistic that it is illegible to the naked eye. These tampered images have posed a serious threat to personal privacy, social order, and national security. Therefore, detecting and locating tampered areas in images has important practical significance, and has become an important research topic in the field of multimedia information security. In recent years, deep learning technology has been widely used in image tampering localization,… More >
