Summary

Heterogeneity and non-standardization of Internet of Things (IoT) systems cause security and privacy issues. Recent growth of smart technologies has leveraged various new ways of destructing security and privacy of IoT ecosystems. Although, scientific works have proven their effectiveness in catering such issues in IoT, they don’t conform completely with the mitigation of notions of IoT like heterogeneity, non-standardization, flexibility, embedded intelligence, and scalability. New programming technique, tools, platforms as well as novel IoT-centric design and developments are very much needed to mitigate privacy and security aspects in IoT.

    Few-Shot Learning for Discovering Anomalous Behaviors in Edge Networks

    Merna Gamal, Hala M. Abbas, Nour Moustafa, Elena Sitnikova, Rowayda A. Sadek
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.2, pp. 1823-1837, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.012877

    Abstract Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) have a great interest these days to discover complex attack events and protect the critical infrastructures of the Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Existing IDSs based on shallow and deep network architectures demand high computational resources and high volumes of data to establish an adaptive detection engine that discovers new families of attacks from the edge of IoT networks. However, attackers exploit network gateways at the edge using new attacking scenarios (i.e., zero-day attacks), such as ransomware and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This paper proposes new IDS based on Few-Shot Deep Learning, named CNN-IDS,… More >

    Quranic Script Optical Text Recognition Using Deep Learning in IoT Systems

    Mahmoud Badry, Mohammed Hassanin, Asghar Chandio, Nour Moustafa
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.68, No.2, pp. 1847-1858, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.015489

    Abstract Since the worldwide spread of internet-connected devices and rapid advances made in Internet of Things (IoT) systems, much research has been done in using machine learning methods to recognize IoT sensors data. This is particularly the case for optical character recognition of handwritten scripts. Recognizing text in images has several useful applications, including content-based image retrieval, searching and document archiving. The Arabic language is one of the mostly used tongues in the world. However, Arabic text recognition in imagery is still very much in the nascent stage, especially handwritten text. This is mainly due to the language complexities, different writing… More >

    A Secured Message Transmission Protocol for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

    A. F. M. Suaib Akhter, A. F. M. Shahen Shah, Mohiuddin Ahmed, Nour Moustafa, Unal Çavuşoğlu, Ahmet Zengin
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.68, No.1, pp. 229-246, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.015447

    Abstract Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) become a very crucial addition in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). It is challenging for a VANET system to provide security services and parallelly maintain high throughput by utilizing limited resources. To overcome these challenges, we propose a blockchain-based Secured Cluster-based MAC (SCB-MAC) protocol. The nearby vehicles heading towards the same direction will form a cluster and each of the clusters has its blockchain to store and distribute the safety messages. The message which contains emergency information and requires Strict Delay Requirement (SDR) for transmission are called safety messages (SM). Cluster Members (CMs) sign SMs… More >

    A Hybrid Model Using Bio-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithms for Network Intrusion Detection System

    Omar Almomani
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.68, No.1, pp. 409-429, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.016113

    Abstract Network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) aims to maintain computer network security by detecting several forms of attacks and unauthorized uses of applications which often can not be detected by firewalls. The features selection approach plays an important role in constructing effective network IDS. Various bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms used to reduce features to classify network traffic as abnormal or normal traffic within a shorter duration and showing more accuracy. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a hybrid model for network IDS based on hybridization bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms to detect the generic attack. The proposed model has two objectives; The first one… More >

    Abstract The substitution box (S-box) is a fundamentally important component of symmetric key cryptosystem. An S-box is a primary source of non-linearity in modern block ciphers, and it resists the linear attack. Various approaches have been adopted to construct S-boxes. S-boxes are commonly constructed over commutative and associative algebraic structures including Galois fields, unitary commutative rings and cyclic and non-cyclic finite groups. In this paper, first a non-associative ring of order 512 is obtained by using computational techniques, and then by this ring a triplet of 8 × 8 S-boxes is designed. The motivation behind the designing of these S-boxes is… More >

    Abstract Healthcare is a binding domain for the Internet of Things (IoT) to automate healthcare services for sharing and accumulation patient records at anytime from anywhere through the Internet. The current IP-based Internet architecture suffers from latency, mobility, location dependency, and security. The Named Data Networking (NDN) has been projected as a future internet architecture to cope with the limitations of IP-based Internet. However, the NDN infrastructure does not have a secure framework for IoT healthcare information. In this paper, we proposed a secure NDN framework for IoT-enabled Healthcare (IoTEH). In the proposed work, we adopt the services of Identity-Based Signcryption… More >

    Approach for Training Quantum Neural Network to Predict Severity of COVID-19 in Patients

    Engy El-shafeiy, Aboul Ella Hassanien, Karam M. Sallam, A. A. Abohany
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.66, No.2, pp. 1745-1755, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.013066

    Abstract Currently, COVID-19 is spreading all over the world and profoundly impacting people’s lives and economic activities. In this paper, a novel approach called the COVID-19 Quantum Neural Network (CQNN) for predicting the severity of COVID-19 in patients is proposed. It consists of two phases: In the first, the most distinct subset of features in a dataset is identified using a Quick Reduct Feature Selection (QRFS) method to improve its classification performance; and, in the second, machine learning is used to train the quantum neural network to classify the risk. It is found that patients’ serial blood counts (their numbers of… More >
