A Systematic Review: Post Quantum Cryptography to Secure Data Transmission

A significant topic of contemporary cryptography research and standardization is the development of public key crypto systems that resist attacks from quantum computers. Protocols and applications should start investigating the use of quantum-resistant key exchange and encryption to protect the confidentiality of current communications against future quantum computers utilizing post-quantum cryptography for a particular key exchange. Since they operate harder and need fewer steps compared to conventional computers, quantum algorithms are more secure and robust. Attackers who use quantum computers have powerful computing capabilities, and a quantum allows for simple cryptographic system breaking. Security algorithms that are quantum secure are resistant to attacks from conventional, as well as quantum computers. This work has surveyed, summarized, and analysed previous research to provide readers of this study an integrated understanding of quantum cryptography. It also discusses quantum attacks, which could be used in place of more conventional cryptography techniques, such as quantum key distribution, which takes advantage of quantum mechanics' properties to ensure secure exchanges of the secret keys, and various quantum algorithms. With quantum computation becoming a very real threat, this should motivate more people to show an early interest in the future of cryptography.

Scrambling decoding technology is now widely used in the transmission of digital signals. The circuit design is an important basis for the realization of adding and de-scrambling. So the researchers take the design and implementation of scrambling and decoding circuit as the research topic of this paper. In this study, the circuit is designed according to the demand, so that the circuit can complete the construction of pseudo-random sequences, and then the module division is carried out to determine the specific work completed by different modules.

The results show that after the original data is input, the output data can be the same as the input data after the circuits scrambling operation to achieve the purpose of designing the scrambling circuit. Through this experiment, the researchers hope that the research content can better promote the security and accuracy of data transmission. At the same time, with the optimization of the existing coding technology, researchers expect to have a more efficient decoding process, reduce errors, and improve the data recovery rate.

HCFAIUN: A novel hyperelliptic curve and fuzzy extractor-based authentication for secure data transmission in IoT-based UAV networks

IoT-based UAV networks comprise interconnected UAVs outfitted with sensors and microcontrollers to simplify data exchange in environments such as smart cities. In light of open-access communication landscapes, IoT-based UAV networks could pose security challenges, encompassing authentication vulnerabilities and the inadvertent disclosure of location and other confidential information to unauthorised parties. Henceforth, we have proposed a lightweight and secure authentication protocol: Hyperelliptic Curve and Fuzzy Extractor based Authentication in IoT-based UAV networks (HCFAIUN) leveraging Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography(HCC), Fuzzy Extractor (FE), XOR operations and hash functions. HCC's maximum key size is 80 bits, differing from the 160-bit requirement of the elliptic curve, making it apt for UAVs with limited resources. The proposed scheme utilises biometrics traits of users to avoid exposing data from stealing smart devices using FE. This protocol facilitates the mutual authentication of users and UAVs, allowing them to exchange a session key for secure communication. The Hyperelliptic Curve (HC) scalar multiplication protects the user's private key from attackers, even in public channels. The obfuscation identity of the user and UAVs generated through the hash function and timestamp makes the external user and UAV anonymous. The efficacy of this proposed framework is examined using the Scyther verification tool and Random oracle model-based formal analysis, and informal analysis is also discussed, which validates its robustness against well-known potential physical and logical attacks. The performance analysis shows that the HCFAIUN scheme has lower computation, communication, and storage costs, i.e., 3.832 ms and 1456 bits and 1128 bits, respectively, compared to existing schemes.

Aquila Optimized Fuzzy Deep Belief Network for Secure Data Transmission in WSN

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is made up of several independent sensor nodes that are able to interpret, analyze, and work with data. It is generally recognized that security and limited energy are the two challenging tasks with WSNs. To address these challenges, a novel Aquila-optimized fuzzy deep belief network (AO-FDBN) model has been proposed in this paper. The suggested AO-FDBN framework consists of three stages. Initially, the Aggregator has been selected by using the Aquila optimization algorithm. Secondly, the data from the aggregator are encrypted by using the blowfish algorithm. Finally, the optimal route has been selected by using the fuzzy-deep belief network (DBN). Packet delivery ratio (PDR), transport delay, energy usage, and network lifetime are evaluated between the suggested framework and current methods. Experimental results specify that the suggested AO-FDBN approach achieves higher performance of 22.617%, 14.22%, and 15.64% than TEEFCA, HESC, and SEPC methods.

Binary Encoding-Based Federated Learning for Traffic Sign Recognition in Autonomous Driving

Autonomous driving involves collaborative data sensing and traffic sign recognition. Emerging artificial intelligence technology has brought tremendous advances to vehicular networks. However, it is challenging to guarantee privacy and security when using traditional centralized machine learning methods for traffic sign recognition. It is urgent to introduce a distributed machine learning approach to protect private data of connected vehicles. In this paper, we propose a local differential privacy-based binary encoding federated learning approach. The binary encoding techniques and random perturbation methods are used in distributed learning scenarios to enhance the efficiency and security of data transmission. For the vehicle layer in this approach, the model is trained locally, and the model parameters are uploaded to the central server through encoding and perturbing. The central server designs the corresponding decoding, correction scheme, and regression statistical method for the received binary string. Then, the model parameters are aggregated and updated in the server and transmitted to the vehicle until the learning model is trained. The performance of the proposed approach is verified using the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark data set. The simulation results show that the convergence of the approach is better with the increase in the learning cycle. Compared with baseline methods, such as the convolutional neural network, random forest, and backpropagation, the proposed approach achieves higher accuracy in the process of traffic sign recognition, with an increase of 6%.

AbstractAirport checked luggage entails specific requirements for speed, stability, and reliability. The issue of abnormal retention of checked luggage presents a significant challenge to aviation safety and transportation efficiency. Traditional luggage monitoring systems exhibit limitations in terms of accuracy and timeliness. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a real‐time detection and alerting of luggage anomaly retention based on the YOLOv5 object detection model, leveraging visual algorithms.

Engineering Autonomous Mobility: Wired and Wireless CAN Bus Design Principles

<div>The controller area network (CAN) bus, the prevailing standard for in-vehicle networking (IVN), has been used for more than four decades, despite its simple architecture, to establish communications between electronic control units (ECUs). Weight, maintenance overheads, improved flexibility, and wiring complexity escalate as the quantity of ECUs rises, especially for high-demand autonomous vehicles (AVs). The primary objective of this study is to examine and discuss the significant challenges that arise during the migration from a wired CAN to a wireless CAN (WCAN). Suggested remedies include changing the configuration of the conventional ECU, creating a hidden wireless communication domain for each AV, and developing a plan to counteract the jamming signals. The simulation of the proposed WCAN was done using MATLAB and validated using OPNET analysis. The results showed that the packet loss of the eavesdropping electronic control unit ranged from 63% to 100%. Anti-jamming results show that when packet loss reaches 2% for a continuous period of time of 0.01 sec, the passive channel is automatically activated, ensuring secure data transmission.</div>

IoT-based trusted wireless communication framework by machine learning approach

The traditional Radio-Frequency Systems (RFS) authentication methods, designed to ensure secure data transmission on the web, may not always effectively prevent adversaries from gaining access to concealed IDs or asymmetric cryptography through infiltrative, side-channel, training, and computer attacks. In contrast, Unaccounted Information (UAI) has the potential to exploit irregularities in production systems to automatically identify microchips, offering a highly robust and cost-effective security solution. This approach introduces RFS-UAI, a deep neural network-based system that efficiently manages wireless node identification by leveraging synthetic RFS characteristics of remote controls (Tx) learned through supervised methods in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Unlike traditional methods that require the development of specialized transistors for UAI or semantic segmentation, this approach utilizes the existing asymmetrical RFS communication networks. Similar to the way the human brain processes information, Rx handles the entire device identification process at the gateway. According to test results, which include assessing process capability at a specified 65 nm threshold voltage and characteristics such as Local Oscillator (LO) misalignment and I-Q disparity using a probabilistic model with 52 hidden units, the system can distinguish up to 4800 transmitters with a remarkable 99.9 % accuracy under various channel conditions, all without the need for regular preambles. This recommended method can serve as a standalone security measure or be integrated into a biometric identification system.

Flexo-printed polymer waveguides for integration in electro-optical circuit boards

Electro-optical circuit boards (EOCBs) offer great potential for short-ranged data transmission in highly electro-magnetic inflicted environments. Finding a cost-efficient way to manufacture EOCB only using additive printing processes could establish, increase, and secure data transmission in PCB systems. Flexo printing is an efficient manufacturing process that combines high contour resolution and layout flexibility to create optical waveguides. Previous research has shown that printing waveguides on a polymethylmethacrylate substrate can enable optical data transmission for up to 20 cm. However, a thermo-resistant polyimide (PI) substrate is needed to integrate printed waveguides into PCB. Since PI does not meet optical demands, waveguide cores must be separated by printed optical cladding. This research aims to investigate the additive printing process, which stacks various polymers to achieve waveguides that are ready for integration. Further, the integration in PCB is validated according to functional testing of the optical structures. An entire manufacturing process for printed EOCB is presented, which enables the investigation of optical coupling processes in upcoming research.
