One way to tackle it is to focus on part of the system by creating logical sub-views which can be seen as proxies of the overall system operations. In this manuscript, logical sub-views consist of traffic aggregators and their topology which are monitored for anomaly. The aggregators are selected based on diversity and importance in the system and they are modelled as graphs to capture aggregation topology and data distributions. The aggregators' selection criteria, the method for comparison of partially overlapping sub-views, normal aggregation profiles acquisition, and measures of anomaly are proposed. A simulated wireless sensor network is used to acquire data at the edge and apply the method to demonstrate that focusing on system sub-views and comparing aggregation profiles facilitates anomaly detection also caused elsewhere in the system and the impact the anomaly has on aggregators.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131789086","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, This unprecedented era of technological confluence poses significant data security and privacy challenges. To solve these problems, we propose a blockchain-based multi-keyword search scheme for medical data sharing called BMKS, focusing on ensuring medical data confidentiality and realizing secure data retrieval. In BMKS, we introduce a two-level search scheme to achieve efficient and verifiable keyword searches. The introduction of the improved Bloom filter significantly improves query efficiency. In addition, we take advantage of blockchain technology to realize ciphertext search and pre-decryption, which reduces user's decryption overhead. Moreover, blockchain's transparency and tamper-preventing characteristics help record the access control process in a traceable and auditable way. The performance evaluation and security analysis show that BMKS is comprehensively safe, efficient, and practical.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132885821","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}

Specifically, we use the least square (LS) to estimate channel spatial fading and polarization fading separately. Then based on statistical signal processing and binary hypothesis model, we establish an authen-tication scheme based on FCI and theoretically deduce the false alarm probability, detection probability, and optimal threshold of the proposed scheme. Besides, we conduct numerous simulation analysis on the proposed scheme. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has higher authentication accuracy than that of CFR based schemes, especially in the case of low SNR.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132663380","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 this paper, we propose a novel Overlapping-enabled Cooperative Vehicular Computing architecture in VFC, termed OCVC, to fully utilize vehicular fog nodes' local potential resources. The proposed OCVC architecture enables vehicles to participate in different fog groups simultaneously different from traditional cooperative computing architecture. In addition, we propose a distributed OCVC scheme to solve the complicated computing group for-mation, overlapping resource allocation, and task assignment problem based on overlapping coalition formation (OCF) game framework.

FH signal is a typical non-stationary signal whose frequency varies nonlinearly with time and the time-frequency analysis technique provides a very effective method for processing this kind of signal. With the renaissance of deep learning, methods based on time-frequency analysis and deep learning are widely studied. Although these methods have achieved good results, the recognition accuracy still needs to be improved. Through the observation of the datasets, we found that there are still difficult samples that are difficult to identify. Through further analysis, we propose a horizontal spatial attention (HSA) block, which can generate spatial weight vector according to the signal distribution, and then readjust the feature map. The HSA block is a plug-and-play module that can be integrated into common convolutional neural network (CNN) to further improve their performance and these networks with HSA block are collectively called HANets. The HSA block also has the advantages of high recognition accuracy (especially under low SNRs), easy to implant, and almost no influence on the number of parameters. We verified our method on two datasets and a series of comparative experiments show that the proposed method achieves good results on FH datasets.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122026864","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}

The second main challenge is that the FSO system performance degrades as a line-of-Sight (LoS) technology due to the misalignment transmitter and receiver. The third challenge is the consideration of time value of money, which is central to most engineering economic analyses in employing communication systems. The opportunity cost of making one choice over another must also be considered. This paper presents a proposed FSO system design model for mitigating the three performance challenges we mentioned. The results show an enhancement by 83.34% in system efficiency in case of moderate scintillation (using gamma-gamma model).

Since the broadcast nature of the wireless channel is vulnerable to overhearing by adversaries, detection of the presence of eavesdroppers in wireless networks can mitigate the impacts of more harmful attacks. Traditionally, researchers have tried to decrease the risk of covert eavesdropping by cryptographic protocols, information-theoretic solutions, or controlling transmission range. These approaches are not suitable for the resource-limited WSNs. In this paper, we propose a novel Active Eavesdroppers Detection (AED) system for multi-hop WSNs. Our proposed system utilizes an out-of-band Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted monitoring system in WSNs to measure intranode delays. In addition, the detection system is equipped with a lightweight detection engine, which runs at edge devices, using the Z-test algorithm.
