The planar antenna, folded over a ground plane, exhibits a measured bandwidth of 2.3-26GHz with S11<-6dB and meets the S11<-10dB condition in several bands. Additionally, the simulated gain ranges from 5 dBi to 9.5 dBi across the entire bandwidth with an efficiency of at least 75%. The use of symmetrical feeding results in a directive radiation pattern.","PeriodicalId":301834,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Smart Applications, Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122663117","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}

As conventional security measures like intrusion detection systems and firewalls aren't always effective in detecting and preventing such threats. Insider threats often come from trusted individuals who possess knowledge of and access to important organizational assets. This work explores the use of machine learning to classify insider threat behaviors, specifically focusing on three approaches such that supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. The paper describes the development of an unsupervised machine learning system that analyzes data from multiple technical sources to detect malicious insider activity. The system, which is designed to be simple and easy to assemble, was tested with existing machine learning algorithms and showed moderate success in detecting malicious insider activity during the training phase and negligible success during the testing phase.These results suggest that while machine learning can be a useful tool for detecting insider threats, it should not be solely relied upon for threat detection. To improve the current system's performance, it is necessary to include additional features, such as file names, email subjects and headers, and website types. Furthermore, physical security, cybersecurity, psychological, and organizational factors must be considered when addressing insider threats. Future research should focus on acquiring real datasets, collecting insider threat scenarios and use cases, and testing different machine learning approaches from both technical and non-technical sources.","PeriodicalId":301834,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Smart Applications, Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122790936","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}

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are especially vulnerable to cyber attacks due to increased inter-connectivity. SCADA systems need to be equipped with the proper tools and techniques to detect cyber attacks, distinguish them accurately from normal traffic, overcome cyber attacks when present, and prevent future cyber attacks from disrupting these systems. In this paper, we first analyze 10 well-known traditional machine learning algorithms in terms of how effective they are when detecting cyber attacks. Then, we construct a stacking ensemble learner using these methods via different meta learners. Our experiments show that ensemble methods perform better than individual methods, demonstrating the need for a more comprehensive solution when defending against cyber attacks in SCADA systems.","PeriodicalId":301834,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Smart Applications, Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122084003","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}

In the past, the ECG signal was studied in time or frequency domain independently. For that, the wavelet transform has been increasingly considered as a stronger time-frequency analysis and coding tool for those signals that might be contaminated by well known interferences such us the 50/60 Hz power line interference, the movement of electrodes and the breathing signal. In this work, we developed a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)-based algorithm to denoise the ECG signals from the different aforementioned interferences. Then, we graphically investigate the different components of the ECG waves presented by their spectrograms, time-frequency images and scalograms. The developed tools are applied on both clean and contaminated ECG signals acquired from an ECG acquisition system, we have parallely designed. The experimental results show firstly the performance of our denoising algorithm to totally remove almost kind of interferences. Secondly, the graphical analysis of the ECG signals has given a new interpretation different from that known in time or frequency analysis separately.","PeriodicalId":301834,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Smart Applications, Communications and Networking (SmartNets)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128554779","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 study proposes a new data management model that integrates blockchain technology into UAV systems, with a particular focus on swarm UAV systems. By leveraging the decentralized structure of blockchain, the proposed system offers robustness against tampering and irreversibility, ensuring secure data transfer between UAVs and decentralized processing. Especially for mission plan and command upload operations, blockchain enables the distribution of critical information to all UAVs in the system.
