• We propose a scheme of Privacy-preserving Byzantine-robust federated learning (PBFL).

Robustness of federated learning has become one of the major concerns since some Byzantine adversaries, who may upload false data owning to unreliable communication channels, corrupted hardware or even malicious attacks, might be ...

• The security model of repudiable ring signature is improved.
• A more efficient ...

Ring signature, introduced by Rivest et al. [Asiacrypt’01], allows a person to sign a document on behalf of an ad-hoc group (or ring) while hiding the identity of the actual signer. But the anonymity provided by the ring signature ...

• A method for the availability of network services in the context of NFV
• A ...

In the context of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), a Network Service (NS) is defined as a composition of Network Functions (NFs), which can be Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) or Physical Network Functions (PNFs). The ...

• Proposed a new authentication and key management scheme for IoT-enabled IPA, called AKMSAgriIoT, with the private blockchain-based solution.

In an Intelligent Precision Agriculture (IPA), several Internet of Things (IoT) smart devices and drones can be deployed to monitor an agricultural environment. The drones can be further utilized to collect the data from smart devices ...

• This paper proves that the user access to drone scheme of Wazid et al. is vulnerable to several attacks including stolen verifier, traceability attacks.

The Internet of drones (IoD) is a very useful application of the Internet of things (IoT) and it can help the daily life comfort through various functions including the smart city surveillance. The IoD can enhance the comfort to reach ...

• The demand to meet emerging delay constraint IoT design and usage in solar energy plants has been highlighted and an effective application is introduced co-...

There are several studies in the literature and common solutions in practice about solar tracking systems (STSs) and their effective usage in solar power plants. However, they all mainly lack of a serious consideration to eliminate the ...

• Based on the implementation of the AES-128, a detailed analysis of side-channel information leakage in an embedded CPU and its components from the ...

Side-channel attacks (SCAs) have become a significant threat nowadays to cryptographic devices, especially central processing units (CPUs). Based on the implementation of AES-128, the side-channel information leakage analysis is ...

• Formulated an extension of FWZIC method under fuzzy environment q-ROFS were called q-ROFWZIC.

Owing to the limitations of Pythagorean fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, scientists have developed a distinct and successive fuzzy set called the q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS), which eliminates restrictions encountered by ...

• Introduce a new primitive called committed oblivious linear evaluation (C-OLE) based on the homomorphic commitments in the malicious model.

In the artificial intelligence era, data-driven computation tasks, such as machine learning, have been playing an essential role as the decision-maker to unlock the value of big data in many fields. Moreover, the ultimate goal of ...

• Construct six types of share conversion protocols in the malicious model with the homomorphic commitments technique relying on the standard model.

With the rapid development of secure multi-party computation (MPC) over past decades, applications of MPC has been moving from completing simple computation tasks (e.g., private set intersection) to complex computation tasks (e.g., ...

• A secure arrangement is proposed in the manuscript, which is important for privacy data collection.

A big number of users’ healthy data are necessary for the Internet of Things (IoT) healthcare. Therefore, the institutions, which have access to more data can provide better medical services such as more accurate diagnosis. However, ...

• We propose in this paper a new index scheme that aims at reducing the retrieval time comparing to MLIM (The Muti Level Index Model) and the inverted index.

Nowadays, with the expansion of the number of web services, the discovery and the selection of the latter are becoming complex tasks. To address this issue, different methods (indexing, clustering, database etc.) have been proposed in ...

• Provides a review of the available capability maturity models in BDA domain.
• ...

Today, business success is essentially powered by data-centric software. Big data analytics (BDA) grasp the potential of generating valuable insights and empowering businesses to support their strategic decision-making. However, ...

• A new weak RSA key equation structure that solves the factoring problem under certain specified conditions in polynomial time is proposed.

The public parameters of the RSA cryptosystem are represented by the pair of integers N and e. In this work, first we show that if e satisfies the Diophantine equation of the form e x 2 − ϕ ( N ) y 2 = z for appropriate values of x , y ...

• A federated learning scheme with homomorphic re-encryption is proposed, which collects data from the IoT devices, completes model training through the fog ...

Unlike traditional centralized machine learning, distributed machine learning provides more efficient and useful application scenarios. However, distributed learning may not meet some security requirements. For example, in medical ...
