Information Technology Security and Privacy Protection in Vehicular Networks (VANETs)

Abstract: As Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) become more sophisticated, the importance of integrating data protection and IT Security is increasingly evident. This paper offers a comprehensive investigation into the challenges and solutions associated with the privacy implications within VANETs, rooted in an intricate landscape of cross-jurisdictional data protection regulations. Our examination underscores the unique nature of VANETs, which, unlike other ad-hoc networks, demand heightened security and privacy considerations due to their exposure to sensitive data such as vehicle identifiers, routes, and more. Through a rigorous exploration of pseudonymization schemes, with a notable emphasis on the Density-based Location Privacy (DLP) method, we elucidate the potential to mitigate and sometimes sidestep the heavy compliance burdens associated with data protection laws. Furthermore, this paper illuminates the IT Security vulnerabilities inherent to VANETs, proposing robust countermeasures, including secure data transmission protocols. In synthesizing our findings, we advocate for the proactive adoption of protective mechanisms to facilitate the broader acceptance of VANET technology while concurrently addressing regulatory and IT Security hurdles.

An IoT System for Air Pollution Monitoring with Safe Data Transmission.

Air pollution has become a global issue due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. Bad air quality is Europe's most significant environmental health risk, causing serious health problems. External air pollution is not the only issue; internal air pollution is just as severe and can also lead to adverse health outcomes. IoT is a practical approach for monitoring and publishing real-time air quality information. Numerous IoT-based air quality monitoring systems have been proposed using micro-sensors for data collection. These systems are designed for outdoor air quality monitoring. They use sensors to measure air quality parameters such as CO2, CO, PM10, NO2, temperature, and humidity. The data are acquired with a set of sensors placed on an electric car. They are then sent to the server. Users can subscribe to the list and receive information about local pollution. This system allows real-time localized air quality monitoring and sending data to customers. The work additionally presents a secure data transmission protocol ensuring system security. This protocol provides system-wide attack resiliency and interception, which is what existing solutions do not offer.

Ethical Implications of Chatbot Utilization in Nephrology.

This comprehensive critical review critically examines the ethical implications associated with integrating chatbots into nephrology, aiming to identify concerns, propose policies, and offer potential solutions. Acknowledging the transformative potential of chatbots in healthcare, responsible implementation guided by ethical considerations is of the utmost importance. The review underscores the significance of establishing robust guidelines for data collection, storage, and sharing to safeguard privacy and ensure data security. Future research should prioritize defining appropriate levels of data access, exploring anonymization techniques, and implementing encryption methods. Transparent data usage practices and obtaining informed consent are fundamental ethical considerations. Effective security measures, including encryption technologies and secure data transmission protocols, are indispensable for maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of patient data. To address potential biases and discrimination, the review suggests regular algorithm reviews, diversity strategies, and ongoing monitoring. Enhancing the clarity of chatbot capabilities, developing user-friendly interfaces, and establishing explicit consent procedures are essential for informed consent. Striking a balance between automation and human intervention is vital to preserve the doctor-patient relationship. Cultural sensitivity and multilingual support should be considered through chatbot training. To ensure ethical chatbot utilization in nephrology, it is imperative to prioritize the development of comprehensive ethical frameworks encompassing data handling, security, bias mitigation, informed consent, and collaboration. Continuous research and innovation in this field are crucial for maximizing the potential of chatbot technology and ultimately improving patient outcomes.

A tamper-resistant timed secure data transmission protocol based on smart contract

Many time-sensitive scenarios need to decrypt data at a specified time. The timed-release encryption (TRE) primitive can meet this requirement. However, in the single-time server TRE model, there is a single point of failure problem. Therefore, we propose a tamper-resistant timed secure data transmission protocol based on smart contracts. Firstly, by decomposing the ciphertext into ciphertext fragments, the amount of deposit that a single middleman needs to submit is reduced. Secondly, it provides the system with security redundancy that changes with the decomposition mode. Thirdly, the sender is required to submit the hash value of each ciphertext fragment to the blockchain network at the same time as sending data, so that the receiver can quickly verify the authenticity of the ciphertext to resist substitution attack. Security analysis shows that the proposed protocol model can resist interruption attacks, release-ahead attacks and replacement attacks. Finally, we conduct a monetary cost test on the Ethereum’s Rinkeby test network. The results show that our running cost is almost double compared with the existing similar scheme, but it is still very low and almost negligible compared with the value of the content and the expected profits it brings.

LIKA: Lightweight Identity Based Key Agreement Protocol for Secure Data Transmission in Advanced Metering Infrastructure of Smart Grid

Integration of information communication technology via the Internet of Things devices and sensors can enable an efficient power service for utility providers to consumers in advanced metering infrastructure. Authentication and cryptographic mechanisms protect identity, data security and privacy from unauthorised interception for smart meters to servers. In the last couple of years, many key agreement protocols have been prescribed and deployed to fix those issues. Unfortunately, the deployed protocols did not work inside the same protocols, specifically parameter detection and recognition for session key generation, as they entail high computation time and communication bits overheads. Furthermore, the absence of forward secrecy and user anonymity affects the authentication. Therefore, we have proposed a lightweight identity-based key agreement (LIKA) utilising the Diffie–Hellman cryptography with a trusted authority. It seeks to cover both the security and performance criteria with equal weight. The protocol is evaluated by the Canetti and Krawczyk adversarial model, Avispa and cryptographic analysis released the session keys that were not considered as an adversary during mutual authentication. Moreover, as compared to related work, the proposed protocol took the least amount of time (5.319 ms and 1056 bits) for the entire process of session key generation. Furthermore, comparative analysis has shown that the LIKA adequately encompasses computation, communication, and security assessments. Consequently, it is more convenient for practical implementation for a smart grid.

Oppositional chaos game optimization based clustering with trust based data transmission protocol for intelligent IoT edge systems

In the past decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes essential in consumer and industrial applications. The accessibility of high bandwidth Internet connection particularly with the arrival of robust 5G networks rises to innovative IoT solutions such as smart city, automobiles, industry 4.0, etc. IoT analytics represents edge computing as a term commonly employed for defining intelligent computational resources placed closer to the source of data generation. Despite the benefits of the IoT edge systems, security and energy efficiency remains major challenging issues. With this motivation, this paper presents an energy-efficient clustering based secure data transmission protocol (EEC-SDTP) for Intelligent IoT Edge systems. The goal of the EEC-SDTP technique is to select an appropriate set of cluster heads (CHs) and optimally secure routes for data transmission in the network. The proposed model involves oppositional chaos game optimization-based clustering (OCGOC) technique for proper CH selection and cluster construction. Besides, a trust-based model is designed to determine the trustworthiness of the node in the IoT edge systems. The proposed OCGOC technique derives a fitness function utilizing 3 input parameters like trust level, distance to neighbors, and energy. Finally, a trust-based secure routing protocol using the quantum sand piper optimization (SRP-QSPO) technique is employed to derive routes for secure data transmission. For examining the better efficiency of the proposed EEC-SDTP algorithm, an extensive group of experimentations were performed and the outcomes are investigated under several performance measures. The experimental outcomes highlighted the improved efficiency of the proposed method over the other related techniques.

Reliable file transfer protocol with producer anonymity for Named Data Networking

Named Data Networking (NDN) is a transmutational construction for the Future Internet equipped toward approaching the Internet’s numerous problems, including content security, content caching, and administration complexity. Security policy in the NDN is based on the digital signatures appended to all the transmitted packets in the NDN. However, a digital signature leaks the identity of the actual producer. To hide the producer’s identity, this paper designs a secure data transmission protocol that ensures the producer’s anonymity in the NDN. The proposed protocol is based on the concepts of Shao et al.’s proxy re-signature and Fan et al.’s methods. Besides, it is formally secured under the intractability of the Decisional Bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption. Feasibility analysis demonstrates that the proposed protocol not only inherits the benefits of data confidentiality, supporting unknown potential receivers, and lower storage cost, but also supports the producer’s anonymity with minimal overheads.

A Privacy Preserving and Efficient Randomness Routing in Adhoc Wireless Network

Now a day’s automatic key establishment of any two devices in the network is placed an important role and generation of key is used for public key based algorithm. By using public key based algorithm we can automatically generated secret key any two devices in the network. So that by performing this process we can randomly generate secret key. In the ad hoc networks another concepts is routing from source node to destination node. The generation of routing process can be done by randomly and performing this process we can improve the efficiency in the routing. In this paper we are implementing random routing of secure data transmission protocol for generating routing and provide privacy of transferred message. By implementing this protocol we can provide random routing process for transferring message. Before transferring message the server will randomly generate routing for source node to destination node. After that the source node will send data to destination node. Before transferring message or data the source node will encrypt and send the cipher format data to destination node. The destination node will retrieve cipher format data and perform the decryption process. After completion of decryption process the destination node will get original message. By implementing those concepts we can improve the efficiency for generating routing and also provide security of transferring message.

Lightweight and Certificateless Multi-Receiver Secure Data Transmission Protocol for Wireless Body Area Networks

The rapid development of low-power integrated circuits, wireless communication, intelligent sensors, and microelectronics has allowed the realization of wireless body area networks (WBANs), which can monitor patients’ vital body parameters remotely in real time to offer timely treatment. These vital body parameters are related to patients’ life and health; and these highly private data are subject to many security threats. To guarantee privacy, many secure communication protocols have been proposed. However, most of these protocols have a one-to-one structure in extra-body communication and cannot support multidisciplinary team (MDT). Hence, we propose a lightweight and certificateless multi-receiver secure data transmission protocol for WBANs to support MDT treatment in this article. In particular, a novel multi-receiver certificateless generalized signcryption (MR-CLGSC) scheme is proposed that can adaptively use only one algorithm to implement one of three cryptographic primitives: signature, encryption or signcryption. Then, a multi-receiver secure data transmission protocol based on the MR-CLGSC scheme with many security properties, such as data integrity and confidentiality, non-repudiation, anonymity, forward and backward secrecy, unlinkability and data freshness, is designed. Both security analysis and performance analysis show that the proposed protocol for WBANs is secure, efficient, and highly practical.

Novel Shared Key Transfer Protocol for Secure Data Transmission in Distributed Wireless Networks

Handling Keys in the distributed wireless network is one of the most popular options that ensures the protection of data that are transmitted under various circumstances. It even assists the setting up, reversal and the looking after of keys across diverse. So this makes it requisite to process and produce a corporate key that is secret and as well as distribute it across the network that is decentralized. This sort of key is termed as the shared key. The shared key aids in the procedures of encrypting and decrypting the information’s that are to be transmitted. Multitudes of applications are developed based on the decentralized wireless network such as wireless adhoc network, mobile adhoc networks, wireless sensor networks etc. are suggested with the secret key protection to enhance the security level while transmitting data. The shared key transfer protocol (SKTP) procedure accomplishes encryption /decryption for the message to be transferred it uses a group of key and shares them across a several transmissions that takes place across the head of the cluster and the nodes in the clustered paradigm. This shared collection of keys allows the consumer to encode and decode the message that is to be conveyed for all the consumers in a group enabling a member in the cluster to work together with the other member in the group around the data discovery. So the paper aims in establishing a novel shared key transfer protocol (N-SKTP) that is dynamic in nature and practically possible to secure the information transfer across the devices in the distributed wireless network. The N-SKTP utilizes the pubic key cryptography to develop a shared key group (SKG) for the manifold transmission in the network. The investigation of the performance of the proposed protocol using the network simulator -2 experimentally demonstrates the proficiency of the N-SKTP in the distributed wireless networks with limited resources.

A secure data transmission protocol for cloud‐assisted edge‐Internet of Things environment

AbstractCloud‐edge (CE) is revolutionizing our modern world with a greater user experience through the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the edge devices, communication bridge between the cloud and users, are repeatedly exhibiting many security flaws which will inevitably lead to massive cyber attacks. Thus, providing a proper security, specifically, the confidentiality and authenticity of sensitive data become a prime focus for many of the researchers. In cryptography, certificateless signcryption (CLSC) is one of the recent public key techniques that meets the requirements of confidentiality and authenticity of sensitive data between parties with minimal overhead. This paper aims to present a new data sharing protocol where the safety of data is achieved through a new CLSC scheme. The proposed CLSC is designed using the bilinear pairing and modular exponentiation operations. Besides, the CLSC is secure based on the intractability of Diffie‐Hellman inversion (DHI) and bilinear‐DHI assumptions without considering the random oracle model (ROM). Performance assessment of proposed CLSC gives satisfactory results after comparing with other related CLSC schemes. Therefore, proposed CLSC can be installed in the cloud‐based edge‐IoT environment where both the authenticity and confidentiality with minimal computational overhead are the essential factors.

An improved lightweight certificateless generalized signcryption scheme for mobile-health system

The mobile-health system, also known as the wireless body area network for remote patient monitoring, is a system used to remotely monitor the human body’s health status parameters in real time. The generalized signcryption can realize encryption, signature, and signcryption with only one key pair and one algorithm. To address the communication security requirement for the mobile-health system, Zhang et al. recently proposed a lightweight secure data transmission protocol for the mobile-health system, which uses a certificateless generalized signcryption scheme. However, Zhang et al.’s certificateless generalized signcryption scheme is insecure. In this article, we propose an improved certificateless generalized signcryption scheme and then give a rigorous security proof of it. The confidentiality of our improved scheme can be reduced to the computational Diffie–Hellman problem, and the unforgeability, the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm problem. Performance evaluation shows that our scheme has only slightly increased computational and communicational costs compared with the original scheme, but it is more efficient than other certificateless generalized signcryption schemes existing at present. What is more, it is also an efficient scheme compared with those ones protecting the mobile-health system. Based on our scheme, the same lightweight secure data transmission protocol for the mobile-health system can also be constructed, just like the one based on the original scheme.

Comments on “Light-Weight and Robust Security-Aware D2D-Assist Data Transmission Protocol for Mobile-Health Systems”

The mobile-health (M-Health) system, also known as the wireless body area network for remote patient monitoring, is a system which can remotely monitor a real-time human body’s health status parameters. Generalized signcryption can realize encryption, signature, and signcryption with only one key pair and one algorithm. To address the communication security requirement for M-Health system, Zhang et al. proposed a light-weight secure data transmission protocol for M-Health system by using a certificateless generalized signcryption (CLGSC) scheme recently. In this paper, we point out that an insider attack exists in Zhang et al. ’s CLGSC scheme, which destroys the confidentiality of the scheme. Thus, their light-weight and robust security-aware D2D-assist data transmission protocol for mobile-health system is insecure, too.

A Three Layered Peer-to-Peer Energy Efficient Protocol for Reliable and Secure Data Transmission in EAACK MANETs

In a wireless adhoc network packets may be dropped due to the high node mobility. This network behavior undermines the network credibility to successfully route messages. Packet dropping may also be due to the presence of malicious nodes. Also, maintaining a viable route for the packets to travel is a greater challenge as it involves discovering a route and maintaining it for the entire session. It is very important to resolve these issues in order to maintain the performance of an EAACK MANET (Enhanced Adaptive Acknowledgement). The performance of a MANET rests heavily on its successful transmission rate. In order to have a high success rate all of these three issues need to be addressed. We have proposed a protocol (FDCRP) that would incorporate an efficient three layered framework into an EAACK MANET to ensure a high transmission rate. In order to include this framework into EAACK MANETs, the network would be divided into clusters. To manage the high mobility of the nodes and to form clusters faster, we use the node information efficiently. This technique involves the use of fuzzy logic and helps form clusters dynamically. We also incorporate a three tier filtering scheme to isolate the trusted nodes in forming a cluster, as there is a heavy possibility that the cluster nodes or even the cluster head turning malicious in the course of a transmission. The third level of our framework would address the issue of discovering better routes for the packets to reach their destination. This scheme would use the subset of intermediate clusters along the route to deliver the packet successfully to its intended destination. The proposed protocol would be capable of addressing multiple issues in EAACK MANETs thus maximizing the overall performance of the network.

Secure and Efficient Collaborative Load Balancing for Cluster-based MANETs

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are becoming increasingly common, and typical network loads considered for MANETs are increasing as applications evolve. Coordinated channel access protocols have been shown to be well suited for highly loaded MANETs under uniform load distributions. However, these protocols are in general not as well suited for non-uniform load distributions as uncoordinated channel access protocols due to the lack of ondemand dynamic channel allocation mechanisms that exist in infrastructure based coordinated protocols. In this paper, we present a lightweight dynamic channel allocation mechanism and a cooperative load balancing strategy that are applicable to cluster based MANETs to address this problem. We present protocols that utilize these mechanisms to improve performance in terms of throughput, energy consumption and inter-packet delay variation.
