Recently, in solving problems of sound radiation by systems of piezoceramic radiators, new approaches have emerged, which make it possible to significantly approximate the design parameters of systems to the actually measured ones. These approaches are associated with taking into account the specific features of these systems performing two functions - the function of converting electrical energy into acoustic energy and the function of forming the latter in the surrounding space. The peculiarity of the first function is the interconnection of the electric, mechanical and acoustic fields during energy conversion. The peculiarity of the second function is the interaction of the radiators in the system during the formation of its acoustic field. The aim of the work is to study the effect of acoustic interaction of cylindrical piezoceramic radiators in the composition of flat systems on their physical fields. Using the method of coupled fields in multiply connected domains, using the addition theorems for cylindrical wave functions, we obtain analytical relations that allow one to calculate the numerical results for the parameters of three interconnected physical fields that ensure the emission of sound by plane systems. Their analysis showed that with the radial symmetry of electrical excitation of cylindrical radiators, the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is carried out on one - zero mode of oscillation. The placement of the radiators in the composition of the flat systems leads to the appearance of the effect of acoustic interaction between them in an external field, due to the multiple exchange of radiated and scattered waves. This effect destroys the radial symmetry of the acoustic loading of a single radiator. The violation of symmetry in the conversion of mechanical energy into acoustic energy leads to the appearance of oscillations that follow the zero mode. As a result, there is an effective redistribution of energy “pumped” into the radiators in the zero mode, between subsequent oscillations of the radiators. In turn, the emergence of new modes changes the acoustic field of a flat system. The results show the need to take into account the above features of the physical fields of the radiators in the composition of flat systems when choosing methods and developing methods for measuring field characteristics.

A critical property of distributed data processing systems is the high level of reliability of such systems. A practical solution to this problem is to place copies of archives of magnetic media in the nodes of the system. These archives are used to restore data destroyed during the processing of requests to this data. The paper shows the impact of the use of archives on the reliability indicators of distributed systems.

Graph-based Semi-Supervised Learning (GSSL) is a practical solution to learn from a limited amount of labelled data together with a vast amount of unlabelled data. However, due to their reliance on the known labels to infer the unknown labels, these algorithms are sensitive to data quality. It is therefore essential to study the potential threats related to the labelled data, more specifically, label poisoning. In this paper, we propose a novel data poisoning method which efficiently approximates the result of label inference to identify the inputs which, if poisoned, would produce the highest number of incorrectly inferred labels. We extensively evaluate our approach on three classification problems under 24 different experimental settings each. Compared to the state of the art, our influence-driven attack produces an average increase of error rate 50% higher, while being faster by multiple orders of magnitude. Moreover, our method can inform engineers of inputs that deserve investigation (relabelling them) before training the learning model. We show that relabelling one-third of the poisoned inputs (selected based on their influence) reduces the poisoning effect by 50%.

Chaotic cryptography is structurally related to the concepts of confusion and diffusion in traditional cryptography theory. Chaotic cryptography is formed by the inevitable connection between chaos theory and pure cryptography. In order to solve the shortcomings of the existing research on information encryption security system, this paper discusses the realization technology of information security, the design principles of encryption system and three kinds of chaotic mapping systems, and discusses the selection of development tools and programmable devices. And the information encryption security system based on chaos algorithm is designed and discussed, and the randomness test of three groups of encrypted files is carried out by the proposed algorithm and the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm. Experimental data show that the uniformity of P-value value of chaos algorithm is 0.714 on average. Therefore, it is verified that the information encryption security system using chaos algorithm has high security.

Archival services are one of the main functions of an information security management system for archival management, and the conversion and updating of archival intelligence services is an important means to meet the increasing diversity and wisdom of the age of intelligence. The purpose of this paper is to study an information security management system for archival management based on embedded artificial intelligence. The implementation of an embedded control management system for intelligent filing cabinets is studied. Based on a configurable embedded system security model, the access control process and the functional modules of the system based on a secure call cache are analysed. Software for wireless RF communication was designed, and two remote control options were designed using CAN technology and wireless RF technology. Tests have shown that the system is easy to use, feature-rich and reliable, and can meet the needs of different users for regular control of file room management.

From an information-theoretic standpoint, the intrusion detection process can be examined. Given the IDS output(alarm data), we should have less uncertainty regarding the input (event data). We propose the Capability of Intrusion Detection (CID) measure, which is simply the ratio of mutual information between IDS input and output, and the input of entropy. CID has the desirable properties of (1) naturally accounting for all important aspects of detection capability, such as true positive rate, false positive rate, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and base rate, (2) objectively providing an intrinsic measure of intrusion detection capability, and (3) being sensitive to IDS operation parameters. When finetuning an IDS, we believe that CID is the best performance metric to use. In terms of the IDS’ inherent ability to classify input data, the so obtained operation point is the best that it can achieve.

Web services are growing demand with fundamental advancements and have given more space to researchers for improving security of all real world applications. Accessing and get authenticated in many applications on web services, user discloses their password and other privacy data to the server for authentication purposes. These shared information should be maintained by the server with high security, otherwise it can be used for illegal purposes for any authentication breach. Protecting the applications from various attacks is more important. Comparing the security threats, insider attacks are most challenging to identify due to the fact that they use the authentication of legitimate users and their privileges to access the application and may cause serious threat to the application. Insider attacks has been studied in previous researchers with different security measures, however there is no much strong work proposed. Various security protocols were proposed for defending insider attackers. The proposed work focused on insider attack protection through Elgamal cryptography technique. The proposed work is much effective on insider attacks and also defends against various attacks. The proposed protocol is better than existing works. The key computation cost and communication cost is relatively low in this proposed work. The proposed work authenticates the application by parallel process of two way authentication mechanism through Elgamal algorithm.

This paper deals with how to implement a system that extends insider threat behavior data using private blockchain technology to overcome the limitations of insider threat datasets. Currently, insider threat data is completely undetectable in existing datasets for new methods of insider threat due to the lack of insider threat scenarios and abstracted event behavior. Also, depending on the size of the company, it was difficult to secure a sample of data with the limit of a small number of leaks among many general users in other organizations. In this study, we consider insiders who pose a threat to all businesses as public enemies. In addition, we proposed a system that can use a private blockchain to expand insider threat behavior data between network participants in real-time to ensure reliability and transparency.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and various network entities deployed on the ground can communicate with each other over the Internet of Drones (IoD), a network architecture designed expressly to allow communications between heterogenous entities. Drone technology has a wide range of uses, including on-demand package delivery, traffic and wild life surveillance, inspection of infrastructure and search, rescue and agriculture. However, IoD systems are vulnerable to numerous attacks, The main goal is to develop an all-encompassing security model that can be used to analyze security concerns in various UAV-based systems. With exceptional flexibility and increasing efficiency, trust management is a promising alternative to traditional detection methods. In a heterogeneous environment, it is also compatible with other security mechanisms. In this article, we present a fuzzy logic as an Insider Detection technique which calculate sensor data trust and assessing node behavior. To build confidence throughout the entire IoD, our proposal divides trust into two parts: Data trust and Node trust. This is in contrast to earlier models. Experimental results show that our solution is effective in terms of False positive ratio and Average of end-to-end delay.

Image watermarking techniques provides security, reliability copyright protection for various multimedia contents. In this paper Integer Wavelet Transform Schur decomposition and Singular value decomposition (SVD) based image watermarking scheme is suggested for the integrity protection of dicom images. In the proposed technique 3-level Integer wavelet transform (IWT) is subjected into the Dicom ultrasound image of liver cover image and in HH sub-band Schur decomposition is applied. The upper triangular matrix obtained from Schur decomposition of HH sub-band is further processed with SVD to attain the singular values. The X-ray watermark image is pre-processed before embedding into cover image by applying 3-level IWT is applied into it and singular matrix of LL sub-band is embedded. The watermarked image is encrypted using Arnold chaotic encryption for its integrity protection. The performance of suggested scheme is tested under various attacks like filtering (median, average, Gaussian) checkmark (histogram equalization, rotation, horizontal and vertical flipping, contrast enhancement, gamma correction) and noise (Gaussian, speckle, Salt & Pepper Noise). The proposed technique provides strong robustness against various attacks and chaotic encryption provides integrity to watermarked image.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are complex systems of computational, physical, and human components integrated to achieve some function over one or more networks. The use of distributed simulation, or co-simulation, is one method often used to analyze the behavior and properties of these systems. High-Level Architecture (HLA) is an IEEE co-simulation standard that supports the development and orchestration of distributed simulations. However, a simple HLA federation constructed with the component simulations (i.e., federates) does not satisfy several requirements that arise in real-world use cases such as the shared use of limited physical and computational resources, the need to selectively hide information from participating federates, the creation of reusable federates and federations for supporting configurable shared services, achieving performant distributed simulations, organizing federations across different model types or application concerns, and coordinating federations across organizations with different information technology policies. This paper describes these core requirements that necessitate the use of multiple HLA federations and presents various mechanisms for constructing such integrated HLA federations. An example use case is implemented using a model-based rapid simulation integration framework called the Universal CPS Environment for Federation (UCEF) to illustrate these requirements and demonstrate techniques for integrating multiple HLA federations.

Transformer is the key equipment of power system, and its stable operation is very important to the security of power system In practical application, with the progress of technology, the performance of transformer becomes more and more important, but faults also occur from time to time in practical application, and the traditional manual fault diagnosis needs to consume a lot of time and energy. At present, the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology provides a new research direction for timely and accurate detection and treatment of transformer faults. In this paper, a method of transformer fault diagnosis using artificial neural network is proposed. The neural network algorithm is used for off-line learning and training of the operation state data of normal and fault states. By adjusting the relationship between neuron nodes, the mapping relationship between fault characteristics and fault location is established by using network layer learning, Finally, the reasoning process from fault feature to fault location is realized to realize intelligent fault diagnosis.

Effective information security risk management is essential for survival of any business that is dependent on IT.

Nowadays, smart cities (SCs) use technologies and different types of data collected to improve the lifestyles of their citizens. Indeed, connected smart vehicles are technologies used for an SC’s intelligent traffic monitoring systems (ITMSs). However, most proposed monitoring approaches do not consider realtime monitoring. This paper presents real-time data processing for an intelligent traffic monitoring dashboard using the Hadoop ecosystem dashboard components. Many data are available due to our proposed monitoring approach, such as the total number of vehicles on different routes and data on trucks within a radius (10KM) of a specific point given. Based on our generated data, we can make real-time decisions to improve circulation and optimize traffic flow.

XAI with natural language processing aims to produce human-readable explanations as evidence for AI decision-making, which addresses explainability and transparency. However, from an HCI perspective, the current approaches only focus on delivering a single explanation, which fails to account for the diversity of human thoughts and experiences in language. This paper thus addresses this gap, by proposing a generative XAI framework, INTERACTION (explain aNd predicT thEn queRy with contextuAl CondiTional varIational autO-eNcoder). Our novel framework presents explanation in two steps: (step one) Explanation and Label Prediction; and (step two) Diverse Evidence Generation. We conduct intensive experiments with the Transformer architecture on a benchmark dataset, e-SNLI [1]. Our method achieves competitive or better performance against state-of-the-art baseline models on explanation generation (up to 4.7% gain in BLEU) and prediction (up to 4.4% gain in accuracy) in step one; it can also generate multiple diverse explanations in step two.

The proliferation of linked devices in decisive infrastructure fields including health care and the electric grid is transforming public perceptions of critical infrastructure. As the world grows more mobile and connected, as well as as the Internet of Things (IoT) expands, the growing interconnectivity of new critical sectors is being fuelled. Interruptions in any of these areas can have ramifications across numerous sectors and potentially the world. Crucial industries are critical to contemporary civilization. In today's hyper-connected world, critical infrastructure is more vulnerable than ever to cyber assaults, whether they are state-sponsored, carried out by criminal organizations, or carried out by individuals. In a world where more and more gadgets are interconnected, hackers have more and more entry points via which they may damage critical infrastructure. Significant modifications to an organization's main technological systems have created a new threat surface. The study's goal is to raise awareness about the challenges of protecting digital infrastructure in the future while it is still in development. Fog architecture is designed based on functionality once the infrastructure that creates large data has been established. There's also an in-depth look of fog-enabled IoT network security requirements. The next section examines the security issues connected with fog computing, as well as the privacy and trust issues raised by fog-enabled Internet of Things (IoT). Block chain is also examined to see how it may help address IoT security problems, as well as the complimentary interrelationships between block-chain and fog computing. Additionally, Formalizes big data security goal and scope, develops taxonomy for identifying risks to fog-based Internet of Things systems, compares current development contributions to security service standards, and proposes interesting study areas for future studies, all within this framework

The Internet of Things is an emerging technology for recent marketplace. In IoT, the heterogeneous devices are connected through the medium of the Internet for seamless communication. The devices used in IoT are resource-constrained in terms of memory, power and processing. Due to that, IoT system is unable to implement hi-end security for malicious cyber-attacks. The recent era is all about connecting IoT devices in various domains like medical, agriculture, transport, power, manufacturing, supply chain, education, etc. and thus need to be prevented from attacks and analyzed after attacks for legal action. The legal analysis of IoT data, devices and communication is called IoT forensics which is highly indispensable for various types of attacks on IoT system. This paper will review types of IoT attacks and its preventive measures in cyber security. It will also help in ascertaining IoT forensics and its challenges in detail. This paper will conclude with the high requirement of cyber security in IoT domains with implementation of standard rules for IoT forensics.

Smart building security systems typically consist of sensors and controllers that monitor power operating systems, alarms, camera monitoring, access controls, and many other important information and security systems. These systems are managed and controlled through online platforms. A successful attack on one of these platforms may result in the failure of one or more critical intelligent systems in the building. In this paper, the security requirements in the application layer of any IoT system were discussed, in particular the role of IoT platforms in dealing with the security problems that smart buildings are exposed to and the extent of their strength to reduce the attacks they are exposed to, where an experimental platform was designed to test the presence of security vulnerabilities and This was done by using the Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) tool, according to the OWASP standards and security level assessment, and the importance of this paper comes as a contribution to providing information about the most famous IoT platforms and stimulating work to explore security concerns in IoT-based platforms.

Key challenges faced in the Internet today can be enumerated as follows: (1) complex route discovery mechanisms (2) latency and instability during link or device failure recovery (3) inadequacy in extending routing and addressing to limited domains, (4) complex interworking of multiple routing protocols at border routers. Routing table sizes increase with increasing number of networks indicating a scalability issue. One approach to address this spiraling complexity and performance challenges is to start fresh and re-think Internet routing and addressing. The Expedited Internet Bypass protocol (EIBP) is such a clean slate approach. In the interim, EIBP works in parallel with IP and has no dependency on layer 3 protocols. We demonstrated EIBP for routing and forwarding in an Autonomous system (AS) in our earlier work. In this article, we demonstrate EIBP for inter-AS routing. We compare EIBP's inter-AS operations and performance to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) deployed in an intra-AS, inter-AS communications scenario with two AS.

In this modern era, web security is often required to beware from fraudulent activities. There are several hackers try to build a program that can interact with web pages automatically and try to breach the data or make several junk entries due to that web servers get hanged. To stop the junk entries; CAPTCHA is a solution through which bots can be identified and denied the machine based program to intervene with. CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. In the progression of CAPTCHA; there are several methods available such as distorted text, picture recognition, math solving and gaming based CAPTCHA. Game based turing test is very much popular now a day but there are several methods through which game can be cracked because game is not intellectual. So, there is a required of intrinsic CAPTCHA. The proposed system is based on Intrinsic Decision based Situation Reaction Challenge. The proposed system is able to better classify the humans and bots by its intrinsic problem. It has been considered as human is more capable to deal with the real life problems and machine is bit poor to understand the situation or how the problem can be solved. So, proposed system challenges with simple situations which is easier for human but almost impossible for bots. Human is required to use his common sense only and problem can be solved with few seconds.

Software supply chain attacks occur during the processes of producing software is compromised, resulting in vulnerabilities that target downstream customers. While the number of successful exploits is limited, the impact of these attacks is significant. Despite increased awareness and research into software supply chain attacks, there is limited information available on mitigating or architecting for these risks, and existing information is focused on singular and independent elements of the supply chain. In this paper, we extensively review software supply chain security using software development tools and infrastructure. We investigate the path that attackers find is least resistant followed by adapting and finding the next best way to complete an attack. We also provide a thorough discussion on how common software supply chain attacks can be prevented, preventing malicious hackers from gaining access to an organization's development tools and infrastructure including the development environment. We considered various SSC attacks on stolen code-sign certificates by malicious attackers and prevented unnoticed malware from passing by security scanners. We are aiming to extend our research to contribute to preventing software supply chain attacks by proposing novel techniques and frameworks.

Phishing emails are becoming more and more sophisticated, making current detection techniques ineffective. The reporting of phishing emails from users is, thus, crucial for organizations to detect phishing attacks and mitigate their effect. Despite extensive research on how the believability of a phishing email affects detection rates, there is little to no research about the relationship between the believability of a phishing email and the associated reporting rate. In this work, we present a controlled experiment with 446 subjects to evaluate how the reporting rate of a phishing email is linked to its believability and detection rate. Our results show that the reporting rate decreases as the believability of the email increases and that around half of the subjects who detect the mail as phishing, have an intention to report the email. However, the group intending to report an email is not a subset of the group detecting the mail as phishing, suggesting that reporting is still a concept misunderstood by many.

Any software that runs malicious payloads on victims’ computers is referred to as malware. It is an increasing threat that costs people, businesses, and organizations a lot of money. Attacks on security have developed significantly in recent years. Malware may infiltrate both offline and online media, like: chat, SMS, and spam (email, or social media), because it has a built-in defensive mechanism and may conceal itself from antivirus software or even corrupt it. As a result, there is an urgent need to detect and prevent malware before it damages critical assets around the world. In fact, there are lots of different techniques and tools used to combat versus malware. In this paper, the malware samples were analyzing in the Virtual Box environment using in-depth analysis based on reverse engineering using advanced static malware analysis techniques. The results Obtained from malware analysis which represent a set of valuable information, all anti-malware and anti-virus program companies need for in order to update their products.

In financial markets such as stock markets, securities are traded at a price where supply equals demand. Behind the impediments to the short-selling of stock, most participants in the stock market are buyers, so trades are more probable at higher prices than in situations without such restrictions. However, the order imbalance that occurs when buy orders exceed sell orders can change due to many factors. Hence, it is insufficient to discuss the effects of order imbalance caused by impediments to short-selling on the stock price only through empirical studies. Our study used an artificial market to investigate the effects on traded price and quantity of limit orders. The simulation results revealed that the order imbalance when buy orders exceed sell orders increases the traded price and results in fewer quantities of limit sell orders than limit buy orders. In particular, when the sell/buy ratio of the order imbalance model is less than or equal to 0.9, the limit sell/buy ratio becomes lower than that. Lastly, we investigated the mechanisms of the effects on traded price and quantity of limit orders.
