Thus, this paper proposes a new deep learning technique called FractalNet-based key generation (FractalNet-keyGen) for authentication in VoIP using Blockchain. The implementation of the proposed methodology is as follows: Here, several entities, such as VoIP users, admin, smart contract, as well as minor nodes are considered. Moreover, the steps that are considered include Blockchain association, Registration, Initialization, Authentication, Key generation, as well as Verification. Besides, the established FractalNet-keyGen approach attained improved performance with values of validation time, memory usage, response time, key complexity, packet loss ratio, latency, and jitter of 20.37 sec, 15.35 MB, 2.06 sec, 0.942, 1.85%, 0.302s, and 0.275s.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48648,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Engineering Journal","volume":"16 3","pages":"Article 103286"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143207681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results showed materials/equipment factors as most significant, with “damaged equipment” having the highest RII of 0.821. The second highest factor was “poor equipment condition” (RII = 0.814), followed by “limited material transportation protections” (RII = 0.804). Among management factors, “performance pressure” scored highest (RII = 0.871), while “insufficient staffing” was lowest (RII = 0.775). For worker factors, “poor communication” ranked first (RII = 0.818) and “lack of knowledge” last (RII = 0.779). In terms of site factors, “accidents from carelessness” was predominant (RII = 0.811) but “limited workspace” was least considerable (RII = 0.768).
