Abstract With the advancement of video recording devices and network infrastructure, we use surveillance cameras to protect our valuable assets. This paper proposes a novel system for encrypting personal information within recorded surveillance videos to enhance efficiency and security. The proposed method leverages Dlib’s CNN-based facial recognition technology to identify Regions of Interest (ROIs) within the video, linking these ROIs to generate unique IDs. These IDs are then combined with a master key to create entity-specific keys, which are used to encrypt the ROIs within the video. This system supports selective decryption, effectively protecting personal information More >

Abstract In an era characterized by digital pervasiveness and rapidly expanding datasets, ensuring the integrity and reliability of information is paramount. As cyber threats evolve in complexity, traditional cryptographic methods face increasingly sophisticated challenges. This article initiates an exploration into these challenges, focusing on key exchanges (encompassing their variety and subtleties), scalability, and the time metrics associated with various cryptographic processes. We propose a novel cryptographic approach underpinned by theoretical frameworks and practical engineering. Central to this approach is a thorough analysis of the interplay between Confidentiality and Integrity, foundational pillars of information security. Our method… More >

Abstract Cloud computing offers numerous web-based services. The adoption of many Cloud applications has been hindered by concerns about data security and privacy. Cloud service providers’ access to private information raises more security issues. In addition, Cloud computing is incompatible with several industries, including finance and government. Public-key cryptography is frequently cited as a significant advancement in cryptography. In contrast, the Digital Envelope that will be used combines symmetric and asymmetric methods to secure sensitive data. This study aims to design a Digital Envelope for distributed Cloud-based large data security using public-key cryptography. Through strategic design, More >

Abstract The cloud allows clients to store and share data. Depending on the user’s needs, it is imperative to design an effective access control plan to share the information only with approved users. The user loses control of their data when the data is outsourced to the cloud. Therefore, access control mechanisms will become a significant challenging problem. The Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) is an essential solution in which the user can control data access. CP-ABE encrypts the data under a limited access policy after the user sets some access policies. The user can decrypt the… More >

Abstract Cloud computing has become ubiquitous in our daily lives in recent years. Data are the source of technology that is generated hugely by various sources. Big data is dealing with huge data volumes or complex data. The major concern in big data is security threats. Security concerns create a negative impact on the user on the aspect of trust. In big data still, security threats exist as commonly known as DDOS (Distributed-Denial-of-Service) attacks, data loss, Inadequate Data Backups, System Vulnerabilities, and Phishing as well as Social Engineering Attacks. In our work, we have taken the… More >

Abstract A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is constructed with numerous sensors over geographical regions. The basic challenge experienced while designing WSN is in increasing the network lifetime and use of low energy. As sensor nodes are resource constrained in nature, novel techniques are essential to improve lifetime of nodes in WSN. Nodes energy is considered as an important resource for sensor node which are battery powered based. In WSN, energy is consumed mainly while data is being transferred among nodes in the network. Several research works are carried out focusing on preserving energy of nodes in… More >

Abstract Many symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms have been developed in cloud computing to transmit data in a secure form. Cloud cryptography is a data encryption mechanism that consists of different steps and prevents the attacker from misusing the data. This paper has developed an efficient algorithm to protect the data from invaders and secure the data from misuse. If this algorithm is applied to the cloud network, the attacker will not be able to access the data. To encrypt the data, the values of the bytes have been obtained by converting the plain text to… More >

Abstract Many organizations have insisted on protecting the cloud server from the outside, although the risks of attacking the cloud server are mostly from the inside. There are many algorithms designed to protect the cloud server from attacks that have been able to protect the cloud server attacks. Still, the attackers have designed even better mechanisms to break these security algorithms. Cloud cryptography is the best data protection algorithm that exchanges data between authentic users. In this article, one symmetric cryptography algorithm will be designed to secure cloud server data, used to send and receive cloud… More >

Abstract The coronavirus, formerly known as COVID-19, has caused massive global disasters. As a precaution, most governments imposed quarantine periods ranging from months to years and postponed significant financial obligations. Furthermore, governments around the world have used cutting-edge technologies to track citizens’ activity. Thousands of sensors were connected to IoT (Internet of Things) devices to monitor the catastrophic eruption with billions of connected devices that use these novel tools and apps, privacy and security issues regarding data transmission and memory space abound. In this study, we suggest a blockchain-based methodology for safeguarding data in the billions More >

Abstract The current research work proposed a novel optimization-based 2D-SIMM (Two-Dimensional Sine Iterative chaotic map with infinite collapse Modulation Map) model for image encryption. The proposed 2D-SIMM model is derived out of sine map and Iterative Chaotic Map with Infinite Collapse (ICMIC). In this technique, scrambling effect is achieved with the help of Chaotic Shift Transform (CST). Chaotic Shift Transform is used to change the value of pixels in the input image while the substituted value is cyclically shifted according to the chaotic sequence generated by 2D-SIMM model. These chaotic sequences, generated using 2D-SIMM model, are More >
