With a fair level of energy and resource consumption, several lightweight cryptographic techniques are introduced to increase the security as well as effectiveness of WSNs. Still, they have problems with scalability, key distribution, security, and power management. This work proposes a novel light weighted key distribution mechanism for safe and energy efficient communication in WSN. The proposed model includes stages like optimal Cluster Head Selection (CHS), improved Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)-based encryption, and lightweight key management, respectively. In the first phase, a hybrid optimization strategy is proposed, termed as Coot updated Butterfly algorithm with Logistic Solution Space algorithm (CUBA-LSS) for optimal clustering via selecting the optimal CH. This selection process relies on the consideration of the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), energy, delay, and distance. Data transmission is the subsequent process, where the proposed algorithm ensures secured transmission through Improved ECC. At last, a lightweight key management system is determined via session key generation to protect the encryption key.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100605,"journal":{"name":"High-Confidence Computing","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50200505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many existing schemes do not support large universe, expressive access policies, and hidden access policies. In this paper, we propose an attribute-based keyword search encryption scheme for power data protection. Firstly, our proposed scheme can support encrypted data retrieval and achieve fine-grained access control. Only authorized users whose attributes satisfy the access policies can search and decrypt the encrypted data. Secondly, to satisfy the requirement in the power grid environment, the proposed scheme can support large attribute universe and hidden access policies. The access policy in this scheme does not leak private information about users. Thirdly, the security analysis and performance analysis indicate that our scheme is efficient and practical.

Hence, this survey includes a discussion about security and privacy challenges as well as available solutions for IoT based wireless sensor networks. This systematic literature review (SLR) focuses particularly on a popular and applicable security approach known as Trust Management System (TMS). Firstly, all aspects of trust management, including trust indicators, trust properties, trust evaluation, trust building, trust models and the importance of those models for security and privacy, trust prediction methodologies, and ultimately trust-based attacks, are covered in this literature. Secondly, trust management schemes are classified into four groups based on the methodology used for trust-based security solutions in the IoT: cryptography-based, computational and probabilistic-based, information theory-based, and others. Then, an understanding of the problems and difficulties with current methodologies is given, along with suggestions for further research. Finally, the SLR is concluded by formulating the desirable characteristics of a trust management system in the IoT and proposing a trust model suitable for IoT networks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100605,"journal":{"name":"High-Confidence Computing","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50200507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of these works only focus on one aspect of this software/hardware co-design framework and optimize them individually, which makes the design far from optimal. In this paper, we propose PRAP-PIM, which jointly exploits the weight sparsity and weight pattern repetition by using a weight pattern reusing aware pruning method. By relaxing the weight pattern reusing precondition, we propose a similarity-based weight pattern reusing method that can achieve a higher weight pattern reusing ratio.

Security concerns against IoT infrastructure, applications, and devices have grown along with the need for IoT technologies. Enhanced system security protocols are difficult due to the diverse capabilities of IoT devices and the dynamic, ever-changing environment, and simply applying basic security requirements is dangerous. Therefore, this proposed work designs a malware detection and prevention approach for secure data transmission among IoT gadgets. The malware detection approach is designed with the aid of a deep learning approach. The initial process is identifying attack nodes from normal nodes through a trust value using contextual features. After discovering attack nodes, these are considered for predicting different kinds of attacks present in the network, while some preprocessing and feature extraction strategies are applied for effective classification. The Deep LSTM classifier is applied for this malware detection approach. Once completed malware detection, prevention is performed with the help of the Improved Elliptic Curve Cryptography (IECC) algorithm. A hybrid MA-BW optimization is adopted for selecting the optimal key during transmission. Python 3.8 software is used to test the performance of the proposed approach, and several existing techniques are considered to evaluate its performance. The proposed approach obtained 95% of accuracy, 5% of error value and 92% of precision. In addition, the improved ECC algorithm is also compared with some existing algorithm which takes 6.02 s of execution time. Compared to the other methods, the proposed approach provides better security to IoT gadgets during data transmission.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100605,"journal":{"name":"High-Confidence Computing","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50200501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, mobile users’ privacy and security issues have received growing attention in Location-based Social networks. It is crucial to strike a balance between privacy protection and data availability. This paper proposes a differential privacy trajectory protection method based on latent interest community detection (DPTP-LICD), ensuring strict privacy protection standards and user data availability. Firstly, based on the historical trajectory information of users, spatiotemporal constraint information is extracted to construct a potential community strength model for mobile users. Secondly, the latent interest community obtained from the analysis is used to identify preferred hot spots on the user’s trajectory, and their priorities are assigned based on a popularity model. A reasonable privacy budget is allocated to prevent excessive noise from being added and rendering the protected trajectory data unusable. Finally, to prevent privacy leakage, we add Laplace and exponential noise in generating preferred hot spots and recommending user interest points. Security and effectiveness analysis shows that our mechanism provides effective points of interest recommendations and protects users’ privacy from disclosure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100605,"journal":{"name":"High-Confidence Computing","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50200503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This involves accurately collecting inputs from the user during various movement activities and using them to determine their intended motion. These smart wheelchairs work by collecting brain signals in the form of electroencephalography (EEG) signals and by processing them into a quantized format to provide movement assistance to people. Such systems can be referred to as brain–computer interface (BCI) systems that work with EEG signals. Acquiring data from human beings in the form of brain signals through EEG, along with processing of those signals and ensuring the correctness of actions instigated by those brain signals involve a huge amount of data. In this work, we carried out an experiment by taking 100 human subjects and recording their brain signals using a <em>NeuroMax</em> device. Typical wheelchairs are constrained by design as the motion of those is limited either by manual operation or controlled by haptic sensors and actuators. The main objective in this work was to design a wheelchair with better usability and control using machine learning-based knowledge, which is typically a data-driven approach. However, the proposed approach was designed to take inputs from human gestures and brain sensory activities to provide better usability to the wheelchair. The attention meditation cost–benefit analysis (AMCBA) proposed in this paper aims to reduce the risk of inappropriate results and improve performance by considering various cost–benefit parameters. The said classifier aims to improve the quality of emotion recognition by filtering features from EEG signals using methods of feature selection. The operation of the proposed method is described in two steps: in the first step, we assign weights to different channels for the extraction of spatial and temporal information from human behavior. The second step presents the cost–benefit model to improve the accuracy to help in decision-making. Moreover, we tried to assess the performance of the wheelchair for various assumptions and technical specifications. Finally, this study achieves improved performance in the most difficult circumstances to provide a better experience to persons with immobility.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100605,"journal":{"name":"High-Confidence Computing","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50200500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
