The SHA‐512 is used to generate a 512‐bit initial key. The RSA system is used to encrypt the initial secret key and signature generation for both the sender and image authentication. In fact, a powerful block‐cipher algorithm is developed to encrypt and decrypt images with a high level of security. At this stage, a strong PRNG based on four chaotic systems is propounded to generate high‐quality keys. Therefore, an improved architecture is suggested. It performs confusion and diffusion of images with low computational complexity. In the final step, the encrypted secret key, signature, and encrypted image are combined together in order to obtain an encrypted signed image. The block‐cipher algorithm is evaluated in‐depth for several ordinary and medical images with different types, content, and size. The obtained simulation results demonstrate that the system enables high‐level security. The entropy has achieved a value of 7.9998 which is the most important feature of randomness. A comparative study against numerous recent encryption algorithms demonstrates that the proposed algorithm provides good results.","PeriodicalId":10584,"journal":{"name":"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89035601","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}

Due to this, the volume of medical images transmitted has increased multifold. Usage of IoT networks for medical image transmission has significantly reduced the time needed for clinical diagnosis and thereby increasing treatment efficiency. However at present, IoT networks are open to various security threats, which may affect the sensitive and private information that are present in patient's medical image datasets. Existing studies reveal the need of improvisation for secured medical data transmission over IoT networks. In the context to IoT security issues, this research paper proposes blockchain architecture integrated with chaotic encrypted medical image transmission to ensure the high security in medical image transmission. The proposed system incorporates tri‐layered architecture such as Image Aware Segmentation (IAS), hybrid chaotic encryption scheme and finally blockchain environment. The extensive experimentation has been carried out in which the performance parameters such as entropy, NACI and UACI (Number of Pixel Change Ratio and Unified Average Changed Intensity) were calculated and analyzed. It is found that the proposed architecture has NPCR as 99.65%, UACI as 33.95% and entropy ideally close to 8. Encryption results show that the proposed architecture exhibited more randomness, which can defend the IoT security threats.","PeriodicalId":10584,"journal":{"name":"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91134093","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}

But WSN is also influenced by various other factors like network lifetime and energy consumption. It is necessary to provide an energy effective protocol to conquer certain troubles that includes packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, residual energy as well as effective routing in WSN. Therefore, this article aims to propose a novel protocol to enhance the energy efficiency of the network thereby providing an optimal routing path. This can be achieved by selecting an optimal cluster head that maintains communication between the base station and the sensor node. In this article, a novel multi‐objective moth swarm based sailfish (MOMS‐SF) technique is employed in selecting an optimal cluster head. The proposed MOMS‐SF technique enhances the network lifetime and minimizes the energy consumption of the network. Finally, the evaluation results are conducted to determine the network performances of the proposed MOMS‐SF approach. Also, a comparative analysis is carried out and the graphical analyzes for various parameters are made for various approaches to determine the effectiveness of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":10584,"journal":{"name":"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88219804","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}

Meanwhile, to ensure the integrity of the remote storage data, some schemes have been designed to allow public verification. However, most existing schemes only focus on malicious cloud service providers and ignore the possibility that dishonest users cheat for profit. This article implements an arbitrable data auditing scheme under multi‐replica storage. The scheme adopts a new arbitration mechanism under multi‐replica storage, makes use of the non‐tampering characteristics of smart contracts, carries out reliable verification through miners, and realizes the timely detection and punishment of any fraudulent entity. In addition, the scheme also designs a multi‐replica storage model based on the B* tree, realizes the batch verification of replica blocks, enables the fraud behavior of malicious users to be identified after data update, and improves the space utilization efficiency. The article also gives detailed security proof of the proposed scheme. The evaluation result shows our scheme not only realizes a more practical and fairer audit scheme but also has lower computational overhead than current state‐of‐the‐art multi‐replica arbitrable schemes.","PeriodicalId":10584,"journal":{"name":"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88450474","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}

On the other hand, users' personal information might be misused because of other users' biased and malicious behavior. Establishing a trusted environment in social networks is one of the current research problems. Some of the research papers proposed to trust computational methods, but still, there is a lack of methods to handle biased recommendations and loss of trust accuracy towards the target user. In this article, to address these open issues, “a novel trust recommendation model in online social networks using soft computing methods (TRMSC)” is proposed for the Twitter social networks. Here direct and indirect trust is computed for known and unknown users, respectively. The direct trust of a user is computed using clustering methods based on his social activities (posts, retweets received, mentions received, listed count, and follower count) with other users. In the computation of indirect trust, the impact of biased recommendations is suppressed using the Dempster Shafer theory(DST) method, and loss of trust is minimized using trust transitive matrices. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. Time and space complexities are measured using asymptotic notations. In experimental results, TRMSC is evaluated for different network sizes and for target users at different distances (2 to 4‐hops), where it could perform better than existing methods.","PeriodicalId":10584,"journal":{"name":"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76319845","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}

Leaf diseases in tomato are very common which incurs huge damages but early detection of leaf diseases can help in avoiding that. The existing practices for detecting different diseases by the human experts are costly, time consuming and subjective in nature. Computer vision plays important role toward early detection of tomato leaf detection. However, implementation of computationally less expensive model and improvement of detection performance is still open. This article reports a computer vision based system to classify seven different categories of diseases, namely, bacterial spot, early blight, late blight, leaf mold, septoria leaf spot, spider mites, and target spots using optimized MobileNetV2 architecture. A modified gray wolf optimization approach has been adopted for optimization of MobileNetV2 hyperparameters for improved performance. The model has been validated using standard internal and external validation methods and found to provide the classification accuracy in the tune of 98%. The results reflect the promising potential of the presented framework for early detection of tomato leaf diseases which can help to avoid substantial agricultural loss.","PeriodicalId":10584,"journal":{"name":"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72914402","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}

To relieve the burden on cloud centers, edge‐cloud computation offloading becomes a promising solution since shortening the proximity between the data source and the computation by offloading computation tasks from the cloud to edge devices can improve performance and quality of service. Several optimization models of edge‐cloud computation offloading have been proposed that take computation costs and heterogeneous communication costs into account. However, several important factors are not jointly considered, such as heterogeneities of tasks, load balancing among nodes and the profit yielded by computation tasks, which lead to the profit and cost‐oriented computation offloading optimization model PECCO proposed in this article. Considering that the model is hard in nature and the optimization objective is not differentiable, we propose an improved Moth‐flame optimizer PECCO‐MFI which addresses some deficiencies of the original Moth‐flame optimizer and integrate it under the edge‐cloud environment. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to verify the superior performance of the proposed method when optimizing the proposed task offloading model under the edge‐cloud environment.","PeriodicalId":10584,"journal":{"name":"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74528232","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}
