The data in the cloud is highly vulnerable and may fall prey to hackers. The hackers tend to attack the data in the public network, deteriorating the range of confidentiality and the authentication of the data. To prevent this attack on the cloud data, this manuscript proposes a crypto deep ring topology firewall to protect the cloud from data breaches. The data transmission has been performed using egress ring topology crypto encryption that solves the difficulty in isolating the traffic path between the edge and cloud network. Moreover, during the cloud data retrieval, the data interoperability issue arises due to the improper cloud service level agreement, which is solved using an application programing interface firewall fetch intrusion prevention system used in the secure transmission technique in which the data are entered into the transport and session layer of the firewall and then into the intrusion detection and prevention system thus sieving of data is carried out to solve the amenability violation of the cloud network and eliminate data interoperability issue. The proposed model was implemented in the Python platform and provided an enhanced level of encryption and decryption performance than the existing cloud retrieval model, producing high access speed to the cloud network with data security. The proposed work has proved to be highly robust against cyber attacks like man-in-the-middle attacks and spoofing attacks.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50380,"journal":{"name":"IET Information Security","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/8821086","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141980477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These cutting-edge technologies could result in unique network attacks that present security risks. This intrusion launches many attacks on the communication network which is to be monitored. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a tool to prevent from intrusions by inspecting the network traffic and to make sure the network integrity, confidentiality, availability, and robustness. Many researchers are focused to IDS with machine and deep learning approaches to detect the intruders. Yet, IDS face challenges to detect the intruders accurately with reduced false alarm rate, feature selection, and detection. High dimensional data affect the feature selection methods effectiveness and efficiency. Preprocessing of data to make the dataset as balanced, normalized, and transformed data is done before the feature selection and classification process. Efficient data preprocessing will ensure the whole IDS performance with improved detection rate (DR) and reduced false alarm rate (FAR). Since datasets are required for the various feature dimensions, this article proposes an efficient data preprocessing method that includes a series of techniques for data balance using SMOTE, data normalization with power transformation, data encoding using one hot and ordinal encoding, and feature reduction using a proposed deep sparse autoencoder (DSAE) with differential evolution (DE) on data before feature selection and classification. The efficiency of the transformation methods is evaluated with recursive Pearson correlation-based feature selection and graphical convolution neural network (G-CNN) methods.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50380,"journal":{"name":"IET Information Security","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/9937803","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141980218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first propose a search methodology for finding truncated differentials for Ascon with CP, the core of which is modeling with the undisturbed bits of the S-box. By using this method, we find the five- and six-round truncated differentials with a probability of 2⁻⁴⁴ and 2⁻¹⁶², respectively. Considering the application of permutation in the context, we also provide the five- and six-round truncated differential distinguishers under the weak-key setting. Then, inspired by our five-round truncated differentials, we propose a six-round boomerang characteristic, and based on this, we obtain the five- and six-round sandwich distinguishers with a complexity of 2⁷⁰ and 2¹³⁴, respectively. Using the CP tool again and specifying that the “3-3” differential pattern is satisfied in the middle rounds, we propose a six-round differential characteristic with a probability of 2⁻²⁸⁰, which increases the probability by 2²⁵ compared to the best known six-round differential characteristic.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50380,"journal":{"name":"IET Information Security","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/6624991","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CC comprises servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence. Cloud security is the cybersecurity authority dedicated to securing cloud computing systems. It includes keeping data private and safe across online-based infrastructure, applications, and platforms. Securing these systems involves the efforts of cloud providers and the clients that use them, whether an individual, small-to-medium business, or enterprise uses. Security is essential for protecting data and cloud resources from malicious activity. A cloud service provider is utilized to provide secure data storage services. Data integrity is a critical issue in cloud computing. However, using data storage services securely and ensuring data integrity in these cloud servers remain an issue for cloud users. We introduce a unique piecewise regressive Kupyna cryptographic hash blockchain (PRKCHB) technique to secure cloud services with higher data integrity to solve these issues. The proposed PRKCHB method involves user registration, cryptographic hash blockchain, and regression analysis. Initially, the registration process for each cloud user is performed. After registering user particulars, Davies–Meyer Kupyna’s cryptographic hash blockchain generates the hash value of data in each block. When a user requests data from the server, a piecewise regression function is used to validate their identity. Furthermore, the Gaussian kernel function recognizes authorized or unauthorized users for secure cloud information transmission. The regression function results in original data by enhanced integrity in the cloud. An analysis of the proposed PRKCHB technique evaluates different existing methods implemented in Python. The results contain different metrics: data confidentiality rate, data integrity rate, authentication time, storage overhead, and execution time. Compared to conventional techniques, findings corroborate the assertion that the proposed PRKCHB technique improves data confidentiality and integrity by up to 9% and 9% while lowering storage overhead, authentication time, and execution time by 10%, 12%, and 12%.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50380,"journal":{"name":"IET Information Security","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/2024/6863755","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attackers can use false information to trigger public panic and disrupt social stability. Traditional multimodal sentiment analysis methods face challenges due to the suboptimal fusion of multimodal features and consequent diminution in classification accuracy. To address these issues, this study introduces a novel emotion classification model. The model solves the problem of interaction between modalities, which is neglected by the direct fusion of multimodal features, and improves the model’s ability to understand and generalize the semantics of emotions. The Transformer’s encoding layer is applied to extract sophisticated sentiment semantic encodings from audio and textual sequences. Subsequently, a complex bimodal feature interaction fusion attention mechanism is deployed to scrutinize intramodal and intermodal correlations and capture contextual dependencies. This approach enhances the model’s capacity to comprehend and extrapolate sentiment semantics. The cross-modal fused features are incorporated into the classification layer, enabling sentiment prediction. Experimental testing on the IEMOCAP dataset demonstrates that the proposed model achieves an emotion recognition classification accuracy of 78.5% and an F1-score of 77.6%. Compared to other mainstream multimodal emotion recognition methods, the proposed model shows significant improvements in all metrics. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method based on the Transformer and interactive attention mechanism can more fully understand the information of discourse emotion features in the network model.

However, the lack of appropriate security measures can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, potential breaches, and privacy violations, as well as time-consuming and inefficient data retrieval methods in SDN-IoT systems that require decrypting the entire dataset. To address these challenges, this article proposes the time-attribute-based access control scheme in SDN-IoT (TAAC). The TAAC scheme combines ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption with a novel time-attribute-based access tree to ensure fine-grained access control on time and attributes, enabling secure ciphertext interaction and information sharing across domains. Furthermore, the TAAC scheme also incorporates searchable encryption, which enhances the efficiency of data retrieval. By implementing searchable encryption techniques, the data receiver can generate trapdoors to search and retrieve specific encrypted data without the need to decrypt the entire dataset. In summary, the TAAC scheme improves storage efficiency and computation, enhances scalability, and provides robust security, offering an efficient and secure solution for ciphertext sharing in SDN-IoT environments.

The area optimization method uses a 1-bit data path while reducing the number of registers from 64 to 8 and the number of XOR gates from 194 to 8. As a result, we report a 1-bit-serial SM4 encryption circuit that occupies 1771 GE with a latency of 2,336 cycles.

In other words, it takes 32 clock cycles to complete one <i>round</i> encryption. The new circuit occupies 1861 GE with a latency of 1,344 cycles.
