The learning outcomes (LOs)assessment and continuous quality improvement represent core components ofthe quality assurance system (QAS). Current assessment methods suffer deficiencies related to accuracy and reliability, and they lack well-organized processes forcontinuous improvement planning. Moreover, the absence of automation, andintegration in QA processes forms a major obstacle towards developing efficientquality system. There is a pressing need to adopt security protocols that providerequired security services to safeguard the valuable information processed byQAS as well. This research proposes an effective methodology for LOs assessment and continuous improvement processes. The proposed approach ensuresmore accurate and reliable LOs assessment results and provides systematic wayfor utilizing those results in the continuous quality improvement. This systematicand well-specified QA processes were then utilized to model and implement automated and secure QAS that efficiently performs quality-related processes. Theproposed system adopts two security protocols that provide confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for quality data and reports. The security protocols avoidthe source repudiation, which is important in the quality reporting system. This isachieved through implementing powerful cryptographic algorithms. The QASenables efficient data collection and processing required for analysis and interpretation. It also prepares for the development of datasets that can be used in futureartificial intelligence (AI) researches to support decision making and improve thequality of academic programs. The proposed approach is implemented in a successful real case study for a computer science program. The current study servesscientific programs struggling to achieve academic accreditation, and gives rise tofully automating and integrating the QA processes and adopting modern AI andsecurity technologies to develop effective QAS.展开更多

文摘Practical applications of smart cities and the Internet of Things(IoT)have multiplied,posing many difficulties in network performance,dependability,and security.Concerns of accessibility,reliability,sustainability,and security too have arisen correspondingly because of the decentralized character of the smart city and IoT systems.Fog computing offers a foundation for various applications,including cognitive support,health and social services,intelligent transportation systems,and pervasive computing and communications.Fog computing can help enhance these apps'productivity and lower the end-to-end delay experienced by such time-sensitive applications.In this research,we propose a reliable and secure service delivery strategy at the network edge for smart cities.To improve the availability and dependability,along with the security of smart city applications,the approach employs a combined method uniting distributed fog servers in addition to mist servers with the help of an intrusion detection system.Simulation findings suggest a reduction of 40.3%in the delay incurred by each service request for highly dense areas and 60.6%for moderately dense environments.Furthermore,the system has low false-negative rates and high detection and accuracy rates,decreasing service requests 2%.
文摘Elliptic curve(EC)based cryptosystems gained more attention due to enhanced security than the existing public key cryptosystems.A substitution box(S-box)plays a vital role in securing modern symmetric key cryptosystems.However,the recently developed EC based algorithms usually trade off between computational efficiency and security,necessitating the design of a new algorithm with the desired cryptographic strength.To address these shortcomings,this paper proposes a new scheme based onMordell elliptic curve(MEC)over the complex field for generating distinct,dynamic,and highly uncorrelated S-boxes.Furthermore,we count the exact number of the obtained S-boxes,and demonstrate that the permuted version of the presented S-box is statistically optimal.The nonsingularity of the presented algorithm and the injectivity of the resultant output are explored.Rigorous theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposedmethod is highly effective in generating a large number of dynamic S-boxes with adequate cryptographic properties,surpassing current state-of-the-art S-box generation algorithms in terms of security.Apart fromthis,the generated S-box is benchmarked using side-channel attacks,and its performance is compared with highly nonlinear S-boxes,demonstrating comparable results.In addition,we present an application of our proposed S-box generator by incorporating it into an image encryption technique.The encrypted and decrypted images are tested by employing extensive standard security metrics,including the Number of Pixel Change Rate,the Unified Average Changing Intensity,information entropy,correlation coefficient,and histogram analysis.Moreover,the analysis is extended beyond conventional metrics to validate the new method using advanced tests,such as the NIST statistical test suite,robustness analysis,and noise and cropping attacks.Experimental outcomes show that the presented algorithm strengthens the existing encryption scheme against various well-known cryptographic attacks.

文摘Cognitive unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)is promising to tackle the spectrum scarcity problem faced by UAV communications.However,the secure information transmission is challenging due to the open nature of the spectrum sharing.In order to tackle this issue,a cognitive UAV network with cooperative jamming is studied in this paper.A robust resource allocation and trajectory joint optimization problem is formulated by considering the practical case that the channel state information(CSI)cannot be accurately obtained.An iterative algorithm is proposed to address this challenging non-convex problem.Simulation results demonstrate that the worst case robust resource allocation design can realize the secure communications even under the imperfect CSI.Moreover,compared with other benchmark schemes,the proposed scheme can achieve secure performance improvement.

文摘The growing developments in 5G and 6G wireless communications have revolutionized communications technologies,providing faster speeds with reduced latency and improved connectivity to users.However,it raises significant security challenges,including impersonation threats,data manipulation,distributed denial of service(DDoS)attacks,and privacy breaches.Traditional security measures are inadequate due to the decentralized and dynamic nature of next-generation networks.This survey provides a comprehensive review of how Federated Learning(FL),Blockchain,and Digital Twin(DT)technologies can collectively enhance the security of 5G and 6G systems.Blockchain offers decentralized,immutable,and transparent mechanisms for securing network transactions,while FL enables privacy-preserving collaborative learning without sharing raw data.Digital Twins create virtual replicas of network components,enabling real-time monitoring,anomaly detection,and predictive threat analysis.The survey examines major security issues in emerging wireless architectures and analyzes recent advancements that integrate FL,Blockchain,and DT to mitigate these threats.Additionally,it presents practical use cases,synthesizes key lessons learned,and identifies ongoing research challenges.Finally,the survey outlines future research directions to support the development of scalable,intelligent,and robust security frameworks for next-generation wireless networks.
文摘Federated Learning(FL)enables joint training over distributed devices without data exchange but is highly vulnerable to attacks by adversaries in the form of model poisoning and malicious update injection.This work proposes Secured-FL,a blockchain-based defensive framework that combines smart contract-based authentication,clustering-driven outlier elimination,and dynamic threshold adjustment to defend against adversarial attacks.The framework was implemented on a private Ethereum network with a Proof-of-Authority consensus algorithm to ensure tamper-resistant and auditable model updates.Large-scale simulation on the Cyber Data dataset,under up to 50%malicious client settings,demonstrates Secured-FL achieves 6%-12%higher accuracy,9%-15%lower latency,and approximately 14%less computational expense compared to the PPSS benchmark framework.Additional tests,including confusion matrices,ROC and Precision-Recall curves,and ablation tests,confirm the interpretability and robustness of the defense.Tests for scalability also show consistent performance up to 500 clients,affirming appropriateness to reasonably large deployments.These results make Secured-FL a feasible,adversarially resilient FL paradigm with promising potential for application in smart cities,medicine,and other mission-critical IoT deployments.
文摘ABSTRACT:Federated Learning(FL)enables collaborative medical model training without sharing sensitive patient data.However,existing FL systems face increasing security risks from post quantum adversaries and often incur nonnegligible computational and communication overhead when encryption is applied.At the same time,training high performance AI models requires large volumes of high quality data,while medical data such as patient information,clinical records,and diagnostic reports are highly sensitive and subject to strict privacy regulations,including HIPAA and GDPR.Traditional centralized machine learning approaches therefore pose significant challenges for cross institutional collaboration in healthcare.To address these limitations,Federated Learning was introduced to allow multiple institutions to jointly train a global model while keeping local data private.Nevertheless,conventional cryptographicmechanisms,such as RSA,are increasingly inadequate for privacy sensitive FL deployments,particularly in the presence of emerging quantum computing threats.Homomorphic encryption,which enables computations to be performed directly on encrypted data,provides an effective solution for preserving data privacy in federated learning systems.This capability allows healthcare institutions to securely perform collaborative model training while remaining compliant with regulatory requirements.Among homomorphic encryption techniques,NTRU,a lattice based cryptographic scheme defined over polynomial rings,offers strong resistance against quantum attacks by relying on the hardness of the Shortest Vector Problem(SVP).Moreover,NTRU supports limited homomorphic operations that are sufficient for secure aggregation in federated learning.In this work,we propose an NTRU enhanced federated learning framework specifically designed for medical and healthcare applications.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves classification performance comparable to standard federated learning,with final accuracy consistently exceeding 0.93.The framework introduces predictable encryption latency on the order of hundreds of milliseconds per training round and a fixed ciphertext communication overhead per client under practical deployment settings.In addition,the proposed systemeffectivelymitigatesmultiple security threats,including quantum computing attacks,by ensuring robust encryption throughout the training process.By integrating the security and homomorphic properties of NTRU,this study establishes a privacy preserving and quantumresistant federated learning framework that supports the secure,legal,and efficient deployment of AI technologies in healthcare,thereby laying a solid foundation for future intelligent healthcare systems.

文摘As healthcare systems increasingly embrace digitalization,effective management of electronic health records(EHRs)has emerged as a critical priority,particularly in inpatient settings where data sensitivity and realtime access are paramount.Traditional EHR systems face significant challenges,including unauthorized access,data breaches,and inefficiencies in tracking follow-up appointments,which heighten the risk of misdiagnosis and medication errors.To address these issues,this research proposes a hybrid blockchain-based solution for securely managing EHRs,specifically designed as a framework for tracking inpatient follow-ups.By integrating QR codeenabled data access with a blockchain architecture,this innovative approach enhances privacy protection,data integrity,and auditing capabilities,while facilitating swift and real-time data retrieval.The architecture adheres to Role-Based Access Control(RBAC)principles and utilizes robust encryption techniques,including SHA-256 and AES-256-CBC,to secure sensitive information.A comprehensive threat model outlines trust boundaries and potential adversaries,complemented by a validated data transmission protocol.Experimental results demonstrate that the framework remains reliable in concurrent access scenarios,highlighting its efficiency and responsiveness in real-world applications.This study emphasizes the necessity for hybrid solutions in managing sensitive medical information and advocates for integrating blockchain technology and QR code innovations into contemporary healthcare systems.

文摘Improving the quality assurance (QA) processes and acquiring accreditation are top priorities for academic programs. The learning outcomes (LOs)assessment and continuous quality improvement represent core components ofthe quality assurance system (QAS). Current assessment methods suffer deficiencies related to accuracy and reliability, and they lack well-organized processes forcontinuous improvement planning. Moreover, the absence of automation, andintegration in QA processes forms a major obstacle towards developing efficientquality system. There is a pressing need to adopt security protocols that providerequired security services to safeguard the valuable information processed byQAS as well. This research proposes an effective methodology for LOs assessment and continuous improvement processes. The proposed approach ensuresmore accurate and reliable LOs assessment results and provides systematic wayfor utilizing those results in the continuous quality improvement. This systematicand well-specified QA processes were then utilized to model and implement automated and secure QAS that efficiently performs quality-related processes. Theproposed system adopts two security protocols that provide confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for quality data and reports. The security protocols avoidthe source repudiation, which is important in the quality reporting system. This isachieved through implementing powerful cryptographic algorithms. The QASenables efficient data collection and processing required for analysis and interpretation. It also prepares for the development of datasets that can be used in futureartificial intelligence (AI) researches to support decision making and improve thequality of academic programs. The proposed approach is implemented in a successful real case study for a computer science program. The current study servesscientific programs struggling to achieve academic accreditation, and gives rise tofully automating and integrating the QA processes and adopting modern AI andsecurity technologies to develop effective QAS.

文摘Continuous-variable quantum secure direct communication(CVQSDC)with Gaussian modulation(GM)demands a considerable quantity of random numbers during the preparation process and encodes them separately on the quadrature components of the quantum states.Hence,high-speed random number generators are required to satisfy this demand,which is difficult to implement in practical applications.CVQSDC with discrete modulation(DM),correspondingly,employs a finite number of quantum states to achieve encoding,which can circumvent the shortcomings of the GM scheme.Based on the advantages of DM,the issue of attaining the most optimal secrecy capacity and communication distance remains to be resolved.Here,we propose a CVQSDC protocol based on N-symbol amplitude phase shift keying(N-APSK),which exploits the Boltzmann-Maxwell distribution assisted probability shaping technique.In comparison with the uniform distribution,according to 32-APSK CVQSDC,the proposed scheme extends the communication distance by about 38%,while obtaining a higher secrecy capacity at the same communication distance.Furthermore,increasing the value of N will concurrently increase the quantity of rings in the constellation,thereby facilitating enhancements of communication distance.This work incorporates the modulation approaches prevalently employed in classical communication into the realm of quantum communication,attaining gratifying advancements in communication distance and secrecy capacity,and concurrently facilitating the integrated development of quantum communication and classical communication.

文摘Recognized as a pivotal facet in Beyond Fifth-Generation(B5G)and the upcoming Sixth-Generation(6G)wireless networks,Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)communications pose challenges due to limited capabilities when serving as mobile base stations,leading to suboptimal service for edge users.To address this,the collaborative formation of Coordinated Multi-Point(CoMP)networks proves instrumental in alleviating the issue of the poor Quality of Service(QoS)at edge users in the network periphery.This paper introduces a groundbreaking solution,the Hybrid Uplink-Downlink Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access(HUD-NOMA)scheme for UAV-aided CoMP networks.Leveraging network coding and NOMA technology,our proposed HUD-NOMA effectively enhances transmission rates for edge users,notwithstanding a minor reduction in signal reception reliability for strong signals.Importantly,the system’s overall sum rate is elevated.The proposed HUD-NOMA demonstrates resilience against eavesdroppers by effectively managing intended interferences without the need for additional artificial noise injection.The study employs a stochastic geometry approach to derive the Secrecy Outage Probability(SOP)for the transmissions in the CoMP network,revealing superior performance in transmission rates and lower SOP compared to existing methods through numerical verification.Furthermore,guided by the theoretical SOP derivation,this paper proposes a power allocation strategy to further reduce the system’s SOP.
文摘This paper explores the issue of secure synchronization control in piecewise-homogeneous Markovian jump delay neural networks affected by denial-of-service(DoS)attacks.Initially,a novel memory-based adaptive event-triggered mechanism(MBAETM)is designed based on sequential growth rates,focusing on event-triggered conditions and thresholds.Subsequently,from the perspective of defenders,non-periodic DoS attacks are re-characterized,and a model of irregular DoS attacks with cyclic fluctuations within time series is further introduced to enhance the system's defense capabilities more effectively.Additionally,considering the unified demands of network security and communication efficiency,a resilient memory-based adaptive event-triggered mechanism(RMBAETM)is proposed.A unified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is then constructed,incorporating a loop functional to thoroughly consider information at trigger moments.The master-slave system achieves synchronization through the application of linear matrix inequality techniques.Finally,the proposed methods'effectiveness and superiority are confirmed through four numerical simulation examples.
