To ensure dynamic and transient angle and load stability in order to maintain the power system security is a major task of the power Engineer. FACTS Controllers are most effective devices to ensure system security by enhancing the stability margins with reactive power support all over the power system network. The major shunt compensation devices of FACTS are SVC and STATCOM. This article dispenses the modelling and simulation of both the shunt devices viz. Oneis the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and the other is Static Var Compensator (SVC). The small signal models of these devices have been derived from the first principles and obtained the transfer function models of weak and strong power systems. The weak power system has the Short Circuit Ratio (SCR) is about less than 3 and that of the strong power system has the SCR of more than 5. The performance of the both weak and strong power systems has been evaluated with time and frequency responses. The dynamic response is obtained with the exact models for both weak and strong systems, subsequently the root locus plots as well as bode plots have been obtained with MATLAB Programs and evaluated the performance of these devices and comparison is made. The Stability margins of both the systems with SVC and STATCOM have been obtained from the bode plots. The dynamic behaviour of the both kinds of power systems have been assessed with time responses of SVC and STATCOM models. All of these results viz. dynamic response, root locus and bode plots proves the superiority of the STATCOM over SVC with indices, viz. peak overshoot, settling time, gain margin and phase margins. The dynamic, steady state performance indices obtained from time response and bode plots proves the superior performance of STATCOM.

With the development of the information age, the process of global networking continues to deepen, and the cyberspace security has become an important support for today’s social functions and social activities. Web applications which have many security risks are the most direct interactive way in the process of the Internet activities. That is why the web applications face a large number of network attacks. Interpretive dynamic programming languages are easy to lean and convenient to use, they are widely used in the development of cross-platform web systems. As well as benefit from these advantages, the web system based on those languages is hard to detect errors and maintain the complex system logic, increasing the risk of system vulnerability and cyber threats. The attack defense of systems based on interpretive dynamic programming languages is widely concerned by researchers. Since the advance of endogenous security technologies, there are breakthroughs on the research of web system security. Compared with traditional security defense technologies, these technologies protect the system with their uncertainty, randomness and dynamism. Based on several common network attacks, the traditional system security defense technology and endogenous security technology of web application based on interpretive dynamic languages are surveyed and compared in this paper. Furthermore, the possible research directions of those technologies are discussed.

Transient stability accidents induced by converter-based resources have been emerging frequently around the world. In this paper, the transient stability of the grid-tied voltage source converter (VSC) system is studied through estimating the basin of attraction (BOA) based on the hyperplane or hypersurface method. Meanwhile, fault critical clearing times are estimated, based on the approximated BOA and numerical fault trajectory. Further, the dynamic security region (DSR), an important index in traditional power systems, is extended to power-electronics-dominated power systems in this paper. The DSR of VSC is defined in the space composed of active current references. Based on the estimated BOA, the single-VSC-infinite-bus system is taken as an example and its DSR is evaluated. Finally, all these analytical results are well verified by several numerical simulations in MATLAB/Simulink.

This study will be focused on efforts to increase the reliability of the Bangka Electricity System by designing the interconnection of the Bangka system with another system that is stronger and has a better energy mix, the Sumatra System. The novelty element in this research is the design of system protection using Special Protection System (SPS) as well as a different assessment method using the Fuzzy Technique This research will analyze the implementation of the SPS event-based and parameter-based as a new defense scheme by taking corrective actions to keep the system stable and reliable. These actions include tripping generators, loads, and reconfiguring the system automatically and quickly. The performance of this SPS will be tested on 10 contingency events with four different load profiles and the system response will be observed in terms of frequency stability, voltage, and rotor angle. From the research results, it can be concluded that the SPS performance on the Bangka-Sumatra Interconnection System has a better and more effective performance than the existing defense scheme, as evidenced by the results of dynamic security assessment (DSA) testing using Fuzzy Techniques.

With the continues growth of our technology, majority in our sectors are becoming smart and one of its great applications is in agriculture, which we call it as smart farming. The application of sensors, IoT, artificial intelligence, networking in the agricultural setting with the main purpose of increasing crop production and security level. With this advancement in farming, this provides a lot of privileges like remote monitoring, optimization of produce and too many to mention. In light of the thorough systematic analysis performed in this study, it was discovered that Edge-of-things is a potential computing scheme that could boost an artificial intelligence for intelligent remote farm security and intrusion detection pre-alarm system over other computing schemes. Again, the purpose of this study is not to replace existing cloud computing, but rather to highlight the potential of the Edge. The Edge architecture improves end-user experience by improving the time-related response of the system. response time of the system. One of the strengths of this system is to provide time-critical response service to make a decision with almost no delay, making it ideal for a farm security setting. Moreover, this study discussed the comparative analysis of Cloud, Fog and Edge in relation to farm security, the demand for a farm security system and the tools needed to materialize an Edge computing in a farm environment.

Train operation is highly influenced by the rail track state and the surrounding environment. An abnormal obstacle on the rail track will pose a severe threat to the safe operation of urban rail transit. The existing general obstacle detection approaches do not consider the specific urban rail environment and requirements. In this paper, we propose an edge intelligence (EI)-based obstacle intrusion detection system to detect accurate obstacle intrusion in real-time. A two-stage lightweight deep learning model is designed to detect obstacle intrusion and obtain the distance from the train to the obstacle. Edge computing (EC) and 5G are used to conduct the detection model and improve the real-time detection performance. A multi-agent reinforcement learning-based offloading and service migration model is formulated to optimize the edge computing resource. Experimental results show that the two-stage intrusion detection model with the reinforcement learning (RL)-based edge resource optimization model can achieve higher detection accuracy and real-time performance compared to traditional methods.

At present, pavement crack detection mainly depends on manual survey and semi-automatic detection. In the process of damage detection, it will inevitably be subject to the subjective influence of inspectors and require a lot of identification time. Therefore, this paper proposes the research and implementation of artificial intelligence real-time recognition method of crack edge based on zynq, which combines edge calculation technology with deep learning, The improved ipd-yolo target detection network is deployed on the zynq zu2cg edge computing development platform. The mobilenetv3 feature extraction network is used to replace the cspdarknet53 feature extraction network in yolov4, and the deep separable convolution is used to replace the conventional convolution. Combined with the advantages of the deep neural network in the cloud and edge computing, the rock fracture detection oriented to the edge computing scene is realized. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the network on the PID data set The recall rate and F1 score have been improved to better meet the requirements of real-time identification of rock fractures.

The safety of the power system is inherently vital, due to the high risk of the electronic power system. In the wave of digitization in recent years, many power systems have been digitized to a certain extent. Under this circumstance, network security is particularly important, in order to ensure the normal operation of the power system. However, with the development of the Internet, network security issues are becoming more and more serious. Among all kinds of network attacks, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a major threat. Once, attackers used huge volumes of traffic in short time to bring down the victim server. Now some attackers just use low volumes of traffic but for a long time to create trouble for attack detection. There are many methods for DDoS detection, but no one can fully detect it because of the huge volumes of traffic. In order to better detect DDoS and make sure the safety of electronic power system, we propose a novel detection method based on neural network. The proposed model and its service are deployed to the edge cloud, which can improve the real-time performance for detection. The experiment results show that our model can detect attacks well and has good real-time performance.

The main intention of edge computing is to improve network performance by storing and computing data at the edge of the network near the end user. However, its rapid development largely ignores security threats in large-scale computing platforms and their capable applications. Therefore, Security and privacy are crucial need for edge computing and edge computing based environment. Security vulnerabilities in edge computing systems lead to security threats affecting edge computing networks. Therefore, there is a basic need for an intrusion detection system (IDS) designed for edge computing to mitigate security attacks. Due to recent attacks, traditional algorithms may not be possibility for edge computing. This article outlines the latest IDS designed for edge computing and focuses on the corresponding methods, functions and mechanisms. This review also provides deep understanding of emerging security attacks in edge computing. This article proves that although the design and implementation of edge computing IDS have been studied previously, the development of efficient, reliable and powerful IDS for edge computing systems is still a crucial task. At the end of the review, the IDS developed will be introduced as a future prospect.

The object detection tasks based on edge computing have received great attention. A common concern hasn't been addressed is that edge may be unreliable and uploads the incorrect data to cloud. Existing works focus on the consistency of the transmitted data by edge. However, in cases when the inputs and the outputs are inherently different, the authenticity of data processing has not been addressed. In this paper, we first simply model the tampering detection. Then, bases on the feature insertion and game theory, the tampering detection and economic incentives mechanism (TDEI) is proposed. In tampering detection, terminal negotiates a set of features with cloud and inserts them into the raw data, after the cloud determines whether the results from edge contain the relevant information. The honesty incentives employs game theory to instill the distrust among different edges, preventing them from colluding and thwarting the tampering detection. Meanwhile, the subjectivity of nodes is also considered. TDEI distributes the tampering detection to all edges and realizes the self-detection of edge results. Experimental results based on the KITTI dataset, show that the accuracy of detection is 95% and 80%, when terminal's additional overhead is smaller than 30% for image and 20% for video, respectively. The interference ratios of TDEI to raw data are about 16% for video and 0% for image, respectively. Finally, we discuss the advantage and scalability of TDEI.

Edge detection is the key and difficult point of machine vision and image processing technology. The traditional edge detection algorithm is sensitive to noise and it is difficult to accurately extract the edge of the image, so the effect of image processing is not ideal. To solve this problem, people in the industry use the structural element features of morphological edge detection operator to extract the edge features of the image by carefully designing and combining the structural elements of different sizes and directions, so as to effectively ensure the integrity of edge information in all directions and eliminate large noise at the same time. This paper first introduces the traditional edge detection algorithms, then summarizes the edge detection algorithms based on mathematical morphology in recent years, finds that the selection of multi-scale and multi-directional structural elements is an important research direction, and finally discusses the development trend of mathematical morphology edge detection technology.

Currently, research on 5G communication is focusing increasingly on communication techniques. The previous studies have primarily focused on the prevention of communications disruption. To date, there has not been sufficient research on network anomaly detection as a countermeasure against on security aspect. 5g network data will be more complex and dynamic, intelligent network anomaly detection is necessary solution for protecting the network infrastructure. However, since the AI-based network anomaly detection is dependent on data, it is difficult to collect the actual labeled data in the industrial field. Also, the performance degradation in the application process to real field may occur because of the domain shift. Therefore, in this paper, we research the intelligent network anomaly detection technique based on domain adaptation (DA) in 5G edge network in order to solve the problem caused by data-driven AI. It allows us to train the models in data-rich domains and apply detection techniques in insufficient amount of data. For Our method will contribute to AI-based network anomaly detection for improving the security for 5G edge network.

When users request location services, they are easy to expose their privacy information, and the scheme of using a third-party server for location privacy protection has high requirements for the credibility of the server. To solve these problems, a localized differential privacy protection scheme in mobile environment is proposed, which uses Markov chain model to generate probability transition matrix, and adds Laplace noise to construct a location confusion function that meets differential privacy, Conduct location confusion on the client, construct and upload anonymous areas. Through the analysis of simulation experiments, the scheme can solve the problem of untrusted third-party server, and has high efficiency while ensuring the high availability of the generated anonymous area.

With the variety of cloud services, the cloud service provider delivers the machine learning service, which is used in many applications, including risk assessment, product recommen-dation, and image recognition. The cloud service provider initiates a protocol for the classification service to enable the data owners to request an evaluation of their data. The owners may not entirely rely on the cloud environment as the third parties manage it. However, protecting data privacy while sharing it is a significant challenge. A novel privacy-preserving model is proposed, which is based on differential privacy and machine learning approaches. The proposed model allows the various data owners for storage, sharing, and utilization in the cloud environment. The experiments are conducted on Blood transfusion service center, Phoneme, and Wilt datasets to lay down the proposed model's efficiency in accuracy, precision, recall, and Fl-score terms. The results exhibit that the proposed model specifies high accuracy, precision, recall, and Fl-score up to 97.72%, 98.04%, 97.72%, and 98.80%, respectively.

This paper analyzes techniques to enable differential privacy by adding Laplace noise to healthcare data. First, as healthcare data contain natural constraints for data to take only integral values, we show that drawing only integral values does not provide differential privacy. In contrast, rounding randomly drawn values to the nearest integer provides differential privacy. Second, when a variable is constructed using two other variables, noise must be added to only one of them. Third, if the constructed variable is a fraction, then noise must be added to its constituent private variables, and not to the fraction directly. Fourth, the accuracy of analytics following noise addition increases with the privacy budget, ϵ, and the variance of the independent variable. Finally, the accuracy of analytics following noise addition increases disproportionately with an increase in the privacy budget when the variance of the independent variable is greater. Using actual healthcare data, we provide evidence supporting the two predictions on the accuracy of data analytics. Crucially, to enable accuracy of data analytics with differential privacy, we derive a relationship to extract the slope parameter in the original dataset using the slope parameter in the noisy dataset.

The Zero Trust Architecture is an important part of the industrial Internet security protection standard. When analyzing industrial data for enterprise-level or industry-level applications, differential privacy (DP) is an important technology for protecting user privacy. However, the centralized and local DP used widely nowadays are only applicable to the networks with fixed trust relationship and cannot cope with the dynamic security boundaries in Zero Trust Architecture. In this paper, we design a differential privacy scheme that can be applied to Zero Trust Architecture. It has a consistent privacy representation and the same noise mechanism in centralized and local DP scenarios, and can balance the strength of privacy protection and the flexibility of privacy mechanisms. We verify the algorithm in the experiment, that using maximum expectation estimation method it is able to obtain equal or even better result of the utility with the same level of security as traditional methods.

In the differential privacy clustering algorithm, the added random noise causes the clustering centroids to be shifted, which affects the usability of the clustering results. To address this problem, we design a differential privacy K-means clustering algorithm based on an adaptive allocation of privacy budget to the clustering effect: Adaptive Differential Privacy K-means (ADPK-means). The method is based on the evaluation results generated at the end of each iteration in the clustering algorithm. First, it dynamically evaluates the effect of the clustered sets at the end of each iteration by measuring the separation and tightness between the clustered sets. Then, the evaluation results are introduced into the process of privacy budget allocation by weighting the traditional privacy budget allocation. Finally, different privacy budgets are assigned to different sets of clusters in the iteration to achieve the purpose of adaptively adding perturbation noise to each set. In this paper, both theoretical and experimental results are analyzed, and the results show that the algorithm satisfies e-differential privacy and achieves better results in terms of the availability of clustering results for the three standard datasets.

In recent years, artificial intelligence technology based on image data has been widely used in various industries. Rational analysis and mining of image data can not only promote the development of the technology field but also become a new engine to drive economic development. However, the privacy leakage problem has become more and more serious. To solve the privacy leakage problem of image data, this paper proposes the RDP-WGAN privacy protection framework, which deploys the Rényi differential privacy (RDP) protection techniques in the training process of generative adversarial networks to obtain a generative model with differential privacy. This generative model is used to generate an unlimited number of synthetic datasets to complete various data analysis tasks instead of sensitive datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that the RDP-WGAN privacy protection framework provides privacy protection for sensitive image datasets while ensuring the usefulness of the synthetic datasets.

Ensuring high data availability while realizing privacy protection is a research hotspot in the field of privacy-preserving data publishing. In view of the instability of data availability in the existing differential privacy high-dimensional data publishing methods based on Bayesian networks, this paper proposes an improved MEPrivBayes privacy-preserving data publishing method, which is mainly improved from two aspects. Firstly, in view of the structural instability caused by the random selection of Bayesian first nodes, this paper proposes a method of first node selection and Bayesian network construction based on the Maximum Information Coefficient Matrix. Then, this paper proposes a privacy budget elastic allocation algorithm: on the basis of pre-setting differential privacy budget coefficients for all branch nodes and all leaf nodes in Bayesian network, the influence of branch nodes on their child nodes and the average correlation degree between leaf nodes and all other nodes are calculated, then get a privacy budget strategy. The SVM multi-classifier is constructed with privacy preserving data as training data set, and the original data set is used as input to evaluate the prediction accuracy in this paper. The experimental results show that the MEPrivBayes method proposed in this paper has higher data availability than the classical PrivBayes method. Especially when the privacy budget is small (noise is large), the availability of the data published by MEPrivBayes decreases less.

Differential privacy mechanisms have been proposed to guarantee the privacy of individuals in various types of statistical information. When constructing a probabilistic mechanism to satisfy differential privacy, it is necessary to consider the impact of an arbitrary record on its statistics, i.e., sensitivity, but there are situations where sensitivity is difficult to derive. In this paper, we first summarize the situations in which it is difficult to derive sensitivity in general, and then propose a definition equivalent to the conventional definition of differential privacy to deal with them. This definition considers neighboring datasets as in the conventional definition. Therefore, known differential privacy mechanisms can be applied. Next, as an example of the difficulty in deriving sensitivity, we focus on the t-test, a basic tool in statistical analysis, and show that a concrete differential privacy mechanism can be constructed in practice. Our proposed definition can be treated in the same way as the conventional differential privacy definition, and can be applied to cases where it is difficult to derive sensitivity.

In recent years, differential privacy has gradually become a standard definition in the field of data privacy protection. Differential privacy does not need to make assumptions about the prior knowledge of privacy adversaries, so it has a more stringent effect than existing privacy protection models and definitions. This good feature has been used by researchers to solve the in-depth learning problem restricted by the problem of privacy and security, making an important breakthrough, and promoting its further large-scale application. Combining differential privacy with BEGAN, we propose the DP-BEGAN framework. The differential privacy is realized by adding carefully designed noise to the gradient of Gan model training, so as to ensure that Gan can generate unlimited synthetic data that conforms to the statistical characteristics of source data and does not disclose privacy. At the same time, it is compared with the existing methods on public datasets. The results show that under a certain privacy budget, this method can generate higher quality privacy protection data more efficiently, which can be used in a variety of data analysis tasks. The privacy loss is independent of the amount of synthetic data, so it can be applied to large datasets.

Personal data privacy is a great concern by governments across the world as citizens generate huge amount of data continuously and industries using this for betterment of user centric services. There must be a reasonable balance between data privacy and utility of data. Differential privacy is a promise by data collector to the customer’s personal privacy. Centralised Differential Privacy (CDP) is performing output perturbation of user’s data by applying required privacy budget. This promises the inclusion or exclusion of individual’s data in data set not going to create significant change for a statistical query output and it offers -Differential privacy guarantee. CDP is holding a strong belief on trusted data collector and applying global sensitivity of the data. Local Differential Privacy (LDP) helps user to locally perturb his data and there by guaranteeing privacy even with untrusted data collector. Many differential privacy algorithms handles parameters like privacy budget, sensitivity and data utility in different ways and mostly trying to keep trade-off between privacy and utility of data. This paper evaluates differential privacy algorithms in regard to the privacy support it offers according to the sensitivity of the data. Generalized application of privacy budget is found ineffective in comparison to the sensitivity based usage of privacy budget.

Frauds in supply chain finance not only result in substantial loss for financial institutions (e.g., banks, trust company, private funds), but also are detrimental to the reputation of the ecosystem. However, such frauds are hard to detect due to the complexity of the operating environment in supply chain finance such as involvement of multiple parties under different agreements. Traditional instruments of financial institutions are time-consuming yet insufficient in countering fraudulent supply chain financing. In this study, we propose a novel blockchain-driven framework for deterring fraud in supply chain finance. Specifically, we use inventory financing in jewelry supply chain as an illustrative scenario. The blockchain technology enables secure and trusted data sharing among multiple parties due to its characteristics of immutability and traceability. Consequently, information on manufacturing, brand license, and warehouse status are available to financial institutions in real time. Moreover, we develop a novel rule-based fraud check module to automatically detect suspicious fraud cases by auditing documents shared by multiple parties through a blockchain network. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we employ agent-based modeling and simulation. Experimental results show that our proposed framework can effectively deter fraudulent supply chain financing as well as improve operational efficiency.

{Health diseases have been issued seriously harmful in human life due to different dehydrated food and disturbance of working environment in the organization. Precise prediction and diagnosis of disease become a more serious and challenging task for primary deterrence, recognition, and treatment. Thus, based on the above challenges, we proposed the Medical Things (MT) and machine learning models to solve the healthcare problems with appropriate services in disease supervising, forecast, and diagnosis. We developed a prediction framework with machine learning approaches to get different categories of classification for predicted disease. The framework is designed by the fuzzy model with a decision tree to lessen the data complexity. We considered heart disease for experiments and experimental evaluation determined the prediction for categories of classification. The number of decision trees (M) with samples (MS), leaf node (ML), and learning rate (I) is determined as MS=20

NATO strategy and policy has increasingly focused on incorporating cyber operations to support deterrence, warfighting, and intelligence objectives. However, offensive cyber operations in particular have presented a delicate challenge for the alliance. As cyber threats to NATO members continue to grow, the alliance has begun to address how it could incorporate offensive cyber operations into its strategy and policy. However, there are significant hurdles to meaningful cooperation on offensive cyber operations, in contrast with the high levels of integration in other operational domains. Moreover, there is a critical gap in existing conceptualizations of the role of offensive cyber operations in NATO policy. Specifically, NATO cyber policy has focused on cyber operations in a warfighting context at the expense of considering cyber operations below the level of conflict. In this article, we explore the potential role for offensive cyber operations not only in wartime but also below the threshold of armed conflict. In doing so, we systematically explore a number of challenges at the political/strategic as well as the operational/tactical levels and provide policy recommendations for next steps for the alliance.
