Abstract Blockchain technology is a revolution started as a new economy with an alternative currency namely Bitcoin. Besides the economical aspect, the technological capabilities of Blockchain such as distributed computing, record keeping, irrecoverability of transactions, reliability and etc., are harnessed by variety of real-world applications. Blockchain is a rising pool of records known as blocks linked using security procedure. It is typically managed by a group of nodes in a distributed network technology which integrates technologies such as distributed ledger, security and consensus algorithm to ensure reliability and immutability. In Blockchain, the access privileges are determined by a set of nodes called miners, which run the consensus algorithm to access and submit transactions in to the block after authentication. However, in the existing Blockchain, there is no mechanism to ensure the trust and robustness of the miners and eliminate the malicious miners which runs the consensus algorithm. Therefore, this paper proposes a trust model with an objective of eliminating untrusted nodes from the mining process to enhance the reliability and security of the Blockchain. Further, the proposed trust model is suitably analysed for transaction rate, efficiency and scalability with Hyper Ledger framework to ensure the robustness.","PeriodicalId":43034,"journal":{"name":"EAI Endorsed Transactions on Scalable Information Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85876806","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, we found that there is significant variability, in order to improve the system efficiency in characterizing complex patterns in remote sensing imagery. We achieved this goal by expanding the architecture of VGG-16 Net and fine-tuning hyperparameters such as batch size, dropout probabilities, and activation functions to create the optimized Remote Sensing Image Scene Classification (RSISC-16 Net) deep learning model for scene classification. Using the Talos optimization tool, the results are carried out. This will increase efficiency and reduce the risk of over-fitting.

It's time for the digital system to be appropriately protected from potential threats and attacks. An intrusion detection system can identify both external and internal anomalies in the network.

If these dangers aren't addressed, attacks and data theft could occur from the point of origin all the way to the point of destination. Machine learning is still in its infancy, despite its wide range of applications. It is possible to predict the future by using machine learning. A cyber-attack detection system is depicted in this study using machine learning models. Machine learning algorithms were trained to predict cyber-attack scores using data from prior cyber-attacks on an open source website. In order to detect an attack at its earliest possible stage, this research also examined multiple linear machine learning algorithm-based categorization models. Classifiers' accuracy is also compared in the presentation, as is the presentation itself. Balance procedures were followed.

Lots of studies have been carried out and many algorithms and filters have been planned to improve the image information. There are various noise removal procedures to identify and remove the corrupted pixels. But several image de-noising algorithms apply the filter to the overall image to filter non-corrupted pixels also. To overcome these weaknesses, we proposed an efficient denoising algorithm by cascading Adaptive Median Filter (AMF) with Modified Decision Based Median Filter (MDBMF). OBJECTIVES: To acquire an efficient denoising algorithm for impulse noise reduction by combining AMF and MDBMF methods which are effective, efficient for denoising various kinds of images. To retain the edges, prevent signal deterioration, and ensure non-corrupted image pixels are remaining intact, regardless of various degrees of noise in the image. To avoid the condition where noisy pixels are replaced by other noisy pixels to maintain the quality of images from its degraded noise version such as blur which often takes place during transmission, acquisition, storage, etc. METHODS, RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The performance corroboration of the proposed efficient denoising algorithmis accomplished employing nine standard grayscale images. The size of all standard images kept 256x256 pixels in this research. The proposed image denoising system has experimented on those images affected with 10% to 90% salt & pepper noise density. Additionally, the performance of the existing state-of-art denoising techniques like AMF, MF, WMF, UMF, and DBMF are contrasted with the proposed hybrid approach. The results showed that de-noised images obtained for 10% to 90% densities levels by proposed hybrid approach are quite better than the quality of denoised images achieved from WMF, UTMF, AMF, and DBMF methods. The proposed algorithm effectively eradicates salt and pepper noise for lower to higher image noise densities","PeriodicalId":43034,"journal":{"name":"EAI Endorsed Transactions on Scalable Information Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78320041","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}
