This paper investigates the computing offloading problem for minimizing task completion delay in vehicular networks. Specifically, we design a trust model for mobile in-vehicle networks and construct a migration decision problem to minimize the overall delay of task execution for all vehicle users. The simulation results show that the scheme proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the execution delay of the task compared to the baseline scheme.","PeriodicalId":44650,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Crime and Forensics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141829963","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}

Unfortunately, the perpetrator exploits these devices for their unlawful activities. They employ various tactics such as sending phishing emails, and malicious links to harvest confidential information and exploit users. The perpetrators often leave traces on search engines, where they search for illegal materials and weapons, or send threatening emails to victims. This paper primarily focuses on locating and retrieving browsers' artifacts while considering the challenges posed by private browsing modes, which perpetrator may use to cover their tracks. The study also compares well-known search engines like Edge, Safari, and Firefox, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of their directories. Moreover, it explores evidence extraction from smartphones, comparing the success rates between rooted or jailbroken phones and evidence obtained from browsers versus applications.","PeriodicalId":44650,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Crime and Forensics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141830366","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}

Edge computing can effectively address this issue by processing tasks at edge nodes, thereby reducing the amount of data transmitted and enhancing the utilization of network bandwidth. This paper investigates intelligent task offloading under the three-layer architecture of cloud-edge-device to fully exploit the cloud-edge collaboration potential. Specifically, an optimization objective function is constructed by modelling the processing cost of all computing tasks. Additionally, asynchronous advantage actor-critic (A3C) algorithm is proposed under cloud-edge collaboration to solve the optimization problem of minimizing the sum of the weights of task offloading delay and energy consumption. Experimental results indicate that the algorithm can effectively utilize the computing resources of the cloud center, reduce task execution delay and energy consumption, and compare favourably with three existing task offloading methods.","PeriodicalId":44650,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Crime and Forensics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136013668","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 asymmetry leads to poor patient control over their data, privacy disclosure, and difficulties in tracking data sharing. This aarticle proposes a cooperation model of cloud and chain (CMCC) for the secure sharing of medical data. In the CMCC, the power equivalence of blockchain nodes limits the control authority asymmetry between doctors and patients in medical data sharing. Moreover, a cloud server is used to store medical data, and some of the node-side computations are handed over to the cloud, which addresses the asymmetric computing capability asymmetry between the cloud and ordinary nodes. Based on the CMCC, a secure medical data sharing scheme based on proxy re-encryption mechanism is proposed. This scheme realizes secure medical data sharing, especially the patient's complete control of the data. The security and performance analysis show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing ones.","PeriodicalId":44650,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Digital Crime and Forensics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49139483","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 authors employ DVF approach to extract data to reveal evidential information for judicial evaluation and verdict. This data helped determine whether the incident represented an accident or an act of crime. This simulated case and the assumptions supported by the DVF evidence provides a compelling example of how law enforcement agencies can leverage DVF to collect and present evidence to relevant authorities.
