Abstract Recent advancements in wireless communications have allowed the birth of novel wireless sensor networks (WSN). A sensor network comprises several micro-sensors deployed randomly in an area of interest. A micro-sensor is provided with an energy resource to supply electricity to all of its components. However, the disposed energy resource is limited and battery replacement is generally infeasible. With this restriction, the sensors must conserve energy to prolong their lifetime. Various energy conservation strategies for WSNs have been presented in the literature, from the application to the physical layer. Most of these solutions focus only on… More >

Abstract Recently, the Erebus attack has proved to be a security threat to the blockchain network layer, and the existing research has faced challenges in detecting the Erebus attack on the blockchain network layer. The cloud-based active defense and one-sidedness detection strategies are the hindrances in detecting Erebus attacks. This study designs a detection approach by establishing a ReliefF_WMRmR-based two-stage feature selection algorithm and a deep learning-based multimodal classification detection model for Erebus attacks and responding to security threats to the blockchain network layer. The goal is to improve the performance of Erebus attack detection methods,… More >
