The next generation military environment requires a delay-tolerant network for sharing data and resources using an interoperable computerized, Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a new distributed SDN (Software-Defined Networks) architecture for tactical environments based on distributed cloudlets. The objective is to reduce the end-to-end delay of tactical traffic flow, and improve management capabilities, allowing flexible control and network resource allocation. The proposed SDN architecture is implemented over three layers: decentralized cloudlets layer where each cloudlet has its SDRN (Software-Defined Radio Networking) controller, decentralized MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) layer with an SDN controller for each MEC, and a centralized private cloud as a trusted third-part authority controlled by a centralized SDN controller. The experimental validations are done via relevant and realistic tactical scenarios based on strategic traffics loads, i.e., Tactical SMS (Short Message Service), UVs (Unmanned Vehicle) patrol deployment and high bite rate ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) video.

With technological advancements and increment in content based advertisement, the use of Short Message Service (SMS) on phones has increased to such a significant level that devices are sometimes flooded with a number of spam SMS. These spam messages can lead to loss of private data as well. There are many content-based machine learning techniques which have proven to be effective in filtering spam emails. Modern day researchers have used some stylistic features of text messages to classify them to be ham or spam. SMS spam detection can be greatly influenced by the presence of known words, phrases, abbreviations and idioms. This paper aims to compare different classifying techniques on different datasets collected from previous research works, and evaluate them on the basis of their accuracies, precision, recall and CAP Curve. The comparison has been performed between traditional machine learning techniques and deep learning methods.

Short Message Service is now-days the most used way of communication in the electronic world. While many researches exist on the email spam detection, we haven't had the insight knowledge about the spam done within the SMS's. This might be because the frequency of spam in these short messages is quite low than the emails. This paper presents different ways of analyzing spam for SMS and a new pre-processing way to get the actual dataset of spam messages. This dataset was then used on different algorithm techniques to find the best working algorithm in terms of both accuracy and recall. Random Forest algorithm was then implemented in a real world application library written in C\# for cross platform .Net development. This library is capable of using a prebuild model for classifying a new dataset for spam and ham.

For mobile phone users, short message service (SMS) is the most commonly used text-based communication type on mobile devices. Users can interact with other users and services via SMS. For example, users can send private messages, use information services, apply for a job advertisement, conduct bank transactions, and so on. Users should be very careful when using SMS. During the sending of SMS, the message content should be aware that it can be captured and act accordingly. Based on these findings, the elderly, called as “Silent Generation” which represents 70 years or older adults, are text messaging much more than they did in the past. Therefore, they need solutions which are both simple and secure enough if there is a need to send sensitive information via SMS. In this study, we propose and develop an android application to secure text messages. The application has a simple and easy-to-use graphical user interface but provides significant security.
