Abstract In secure communications, lightweight encryption has become crucial, particularly for resource-constrained applications such as embedded devices, wireless sensor networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As these systems proliferate, cryptographic approaches that provide robust security while minimizing computing overhead, energy consumption, and memory usage are becoming increasingly essential. This study examines lightweight encryption techniques utilizing chaotic maps to ensure secure data transmission. Two algorithms are proposed, both employing the Logistic map; the first approach utilizes two logistic chaotic maps, while the second algorithm employs a single logistic chaotic map. Algorithm 1, including a two-stage mechanism… More >

Abstract The agility of Internet of Things (IoT) software engineering is benchmarked based on its systematic insights for wide application support infrastructure developments. Such developments are focused on reducing the interfacing complexity with heterogeneous devices through applications. To handle the interfacing complexity problem, this article introduces a Semantic Interfacing Obscuration Model (SIOM) for IoT software-engineered platforms. The interfacing obscuration between heterogeneous devices and application interfaces from the testing to real-time validations is accounted for in this model. Based on the level of obscuration between the infrastructure hardware to the end-user software, the modifications through device replacement, More >

Abstract This study introduces an innovative hybrid approach that integrates deep learning with blockchain technology to improve cybersecurity, focusing on network intrusion detection systems (NIDS). The main goal is to overcome the shortcomings of conventional intrusion detection techniques by developing a more flexible and robust security architecture. We use seven unique machine learning models to improve detection skills, emphasizing data quality, traceability, and transparency, facilitated by a blockchain layer that safeguards against data modification and ensures auditability. Our technique employs the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) to equilibrate the dataset, therefore mitigating prevalent class imbalance difficulties… More >
