While encryption enhances privacy, it also provides cover for malicious activities, making traditional deep packet inspection ineffective. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an interpretable and efficient deep learning framework for malicious encrypted traffic identification. Our model integrates 1D-CNN, BiLSTM, and a lightweight self-attention mechanism to capture both spatial and temporal characteristics of network flows while providing explainable predictions through attention visualization. Unlike computationally intensive Transformer-based approaches, our method achieves an optimal balance between accuracy and efficiency, making it suitable for real-world deployment. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets (USTC-TFC2016 and CICIDS-2017) demonstrate that our model achieves high accuracy with 0.82 ms inference time per flow, outperforming state-of-the-art methods while offering transparency in decision-making for security analysts. The proposed approach not only enhances detection performance but also provides operational interpretability, bridging the gap between automated threat detection and human-in-the-loop security operations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48526,"journal":{"name":"ICT Express","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 653-661"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148196096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This efficiency makes CLAS particularly attractive for real-time authentication in large-scale intelligent transportation systems (ITS). However, we show that two representative CLAS-based conditional privacy-preserving authentication schemes, proposed by Zhu–Guan and Chen–Guan, are vulnerable to a Type I adversary capable of replacing a vehicle’s public key. Such an adversary can forge valid signatures on arbitrary messages without obtaining the vehicle’s partial private key due to the lack of cryptographic binding between public keys and ephemeral randomness, which allows algebraic elimination of the master public key during verification. We analyze the root causes of this flaw and propose hash-based countermeasures that enforce strong binding among all public components. Our results further reveal that conventional linear hash-dependent CLAS constructions face inherent limitations in balancing security, ultra-low latency, and scalability. Thus, a next-generation CLAS design paradigm is required one that moves beyond traditional linear architectures to achieve deployment-level performance in current 5G-V2X environments while being inherently scalable toward future 6G-enabled intelligent transportation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48526,"journal":{"name":"ICT Express","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 566-570"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148196078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed SCI protocol reduces the overhead associated with channel state information (CSI) by broadcasting a predefined channel threshold. Furthermore, it improves mean squared error (MSE) performance by permitting transmission only from sensor nodes with favorable channel conditions. For an arbitrary channel distribution, an exact closed-form expression for the MSE is derived, from which an asymptotic expression for a large number of sensor nodes is obtained. Numerical results demonstrate that the asymptotic expression closely matches the exact result, even for a relatively small number of sensor nodes. An optimization problem is formulated to determine the optimal channel threshold under Nakagami-<span><math><mi>m</mi></math></span> fading channels, and it is analytically proven that the problem is convex. An algorithm for dynamically determining the threshold under arbitrary channel distributions is also presented.
