Abstract The Internet of Wearable Things (IoWT) or Wearable Internet of Things (WIoT) is a new paradigm that combines IoT and wearable technology. Advances in IoT technology have enabled the miniaturization of sensors embedded in wearable devices and the ability to communicate data and access real-time information over low-power mobile networks. IoWT devices are highly interdependent with mobile devices. However, due to their limited processing power and bandwidth, IoWT devices are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to their low level of security. Threat modeling and frameworks for analyzing cyber threats against existing IoT or low-power protocols have… More >

Abstract Nowadays, the use of Avatars that are unique digital depictions has increased by users to access Metaverse—a virtual reality environment—through multiple devices and for various purposes. Therefore, the Avatar and Metaverse are being developed with a new theory, application, and design, necessitating the association of more personal data and devices of targeted users every day. This Avatar and Metaverse technology explosion raises privacy and security concerns, leading to cyber attacks. MV-Honeypot, or Metaverse-Honeypot, as a commercial off-the-shelf solution that can counter these cyber attack-causing vulnerabilities, should be developed. To fill this gap, we study user’s More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The emergence of various technologies such as terahertz communications, Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), and AI-powered communication services will burden network operators with rising infrastructure costs. Recently, the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) has been introduced as a solution for growing financial and operational burdens in Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G networks. O-RAN promotes openness and intelligence to overcome the limitations of traditional RANs. By disaggregating conventional Base Band Units (BBUs) into O-RAN Distributed Units (O-DU) and O-RAN Centralized Units (O-CU), O-RAN offers greater flexibility for upgrades and network automation. However, this openness introduces new security More >

Abstract The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at an unprecedented scale in many critical applications due to the ability to interconnect and utilize a plethora of wide range of devices. In critical infrastructure domains like oil and gas supply, intelligent transportation, power grids, and autonomous agriculture, it is essential to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data collected and exchanged. However, the limited resources coupled with the heterogeneity of IoT devices make it inefficient or sometimes infeasible to achieve secure data transmission using traditional cryptographic techniques. Consequently, designing a lightweight secure More >

Abstract In many commercial and public sectors, the Internet of Things (IoT) is deeply embedded. Cyber security threats aimed at compromising the security, reliability, or accessibility of data are a serious concern for the IoT. Due to the collection of data from several IoT devices, the IoT presents unique challenges for detecting anomalous behavior. It is the responsibility of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to ensure the security of a network by reporting any suspicious activity. By identifying failed and successful attacks, IDS provides a more comprehensive security capability. A reliable and efficient anomaly detection system… More >
