Data encryption based on a 9D complex chaotic system with quaternion for smart grid

With the development of smart grid, operation and control of a power system can be realized through the power communication network, especially the power production and enterprise management business involve a large amount of sensitive information, and the requirements for data security and real-time transmission are gradually improved. In this paper, a new 9-dimensional(9D) complex chaotic system with quaternion is proposed for the encryption of smart grid data. Firstly, we present the mathematical model of the system, and analyze its attractors, bifurcation diagram, complexity,and 0–1 test. Secondly, the pseudo-random sequences are generated by the new chaotic system to encrypt power data.Finally, the proposed encryption algorithm is verified with power data and images in the smart grid, which can ensure the encryption security and real time. The verification results show that the proposed encryption scheme is technically feasible and available for power data and image encryption in smart grid.

Novel Approach to Data Encryption Based on Matrix Computations

In this paper,we provide a new approach to data encryption using generalized inverses.Encryption is based on the implementation of weighted Moore–Penrose inverse A y MNenxmT over the nx8 constant matrix.The square Hermitian positive definite matrix N8x8 p is the key.The proposed solution represents a very strong key since the number of different variants of positive definite matrices of order 8 is huge.We have provided NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology)quality assurance tests for a random generated Hermitian matrix(a total of 10 different tests and additional analysis with approximate entropy and random digression).In the additional testing of the quality of the random matrix generated,we can conclude that the results of our analysis satisfy the defined strict requirements.This proposed MP encryption method can be applied effectively in the encryption and decryption of images in multi-party communications.In the experimental part of this paper,we give a comparison of encryption methods between machine learning methods.Machine learning algorithms could be compared by achieved results of classification concentrating on classes.In a comparative analysis,we give results of classifying of advanced encryption standard(AES)algorithm and proposed encryption method based on Moore–Penrose inverse.

Ultralong Organic Phosphorescence of Triazatruxene Derivatives for Dynamic Data Encryption and Anti-counterfeiting

Comprehensive Summary,Organic luminogens with persistent room temperature phosphorescence(RTP)have drawn tremendous attentions due to their promising potentials in optoelectronic devices,information storage,biological imaging,and anti-counterfeiting.In this work,six triazatruxene-based lumiogens with different peripheral substituents and configurations are synthesized and systematically studied.The results show that their fluorescence quantum yields in solid states range from 15.73%to 37.58%.Dispersing the luminogens as guest into the host(PPh_(3))could turn on the persistent RTP,where PPh_(3)acts as not only a rigid matrix to suppress the non-radiative transitions of the guest,but also provides energy transfer channels to the guest.The maximum phosphorescence efficiency and the longest lifetime could reach 29.35%and 0.99 s in co-crystal films of 6-TAT-CN/PPh_(3)and 5-TAT-H/PPh_(3),respectively.Moreover,these host-guest co-crystalline films exhibit great potentials in advanced dynamic data encryption and anti-counterfeiting.This work deepens the insight for low cost,halogen-free,and facile fabrication of all-organic persistent RTP materials.

Fluorescence Behavior and Emission Mechanisms of Poly(ethylene succinamide)and Its Applications in Fe^(3+)Detection and Data Encryption

Conventional fluorescent polymers are featured by large conjugation structures.In contrast,a new class of fluorescent polymers without any conjugations is gaining great interest in immerging applications.Polyamide is a typical member of the conjugation-free fluorescent polymers.However,studies on their electrophotonic property are hardly available,although widely used in many fields.Herein,poly(ethylene succinamide),PA24,is synthesized;its chemical structure confirmed through multiple techniques(NMR,FTIR,XRD,etc.).PA24 is highly emissive as solid and in its solution at room temperature,and the emission is excitation and concentration dependant,with an unusual blue shift under excitation from 270 nm to 320 nm,a hardly observed phenomenon for all fluorescent polymers.Quite similar emission behavior is also observed under cryogenic condition at 77 K.Its emission behavior is thoroughly studied;the ephemeral emission blue-shift is interpreted through Förster resonance energy transfer.Based on its structures,the emission mechanism is ascribed to cluster-triggered emission,elucidated from multianalyses(NMR,FTIR,UV absorbance and DLS).In presence of a dozen of competitive metal ions,PA24 emission at 450 nm is selectively quenched by Fe^(3+).PA24 is used as probe for Fe^(3+)and H_(2)O_(2) detections and in data encryption.Therefore,this work provides a novel face of polyamide with great potential applications as sensors in different fields.

Securing Healthcare Data in IoMT Network Using Enhanced Chaos Based Substitution and Diffusion

Patient privacy and data protection have been crucial concerns in Ehealthcare systems for many years.In modern-day applications,patient data usually holds clinical imagery,records,and other medical details.Lately,the Internet of Medical Things(IoMT),equipped with cloud computing,has come out to be a beneficial paradigm in the healthcare field.However,the openness of networks and systems leads to security threats and illegal access.Therefore,reliable,fast,and robust security methods need to be developed to ensure the safe exchange of healthcare data generated from various image sensing and other IoMT-driven devices in the IoMT network.This paper presents an image protection scheme for healthcare applications to protect patients’medical image data exchanged in IoMT networks.The proposed security scheme depends on an enhanced 2D discrete chaotic map and allows dynamic substitution based on an optimized highly-nonlinear S-box and diffusion to gain an excellent security performance.The optimized S-box has an excellent nonlinearity score of 112.The new image protection scheme is efficient enough to exhibit correlation values less than 0.0022,entropy values higher than 7.999,and NPCR values around 99.6%.To reveal the efficacy of the scheme,several comparison studies are presented.These comparison studies reveal that the novel protection scheme is robust,efficient,and capable of securing healthcare imagery in IoMT systems.

Blockchain-Assisted Secure Fine-Grained Searchable Encryption for a Cloud-Based Healthcare Cyber-Physical System

The concept of sharing of personal health data over cloud storage in a healthcare-cyber physical system has become popular in recent times as it improves access quality.The privacy of health data can only be preserved by keeping it in an encrypted form,but it affects usability and flexibility in terms of effective search.Attribute-based searchable encryption(ABSE)has proven its worth by providing fine-grained searching capabilities in the shared cloud storage.However,it is not practical to apply this scheme to the devices with limited resources and storage capacity because a typical ABSE involves serious computations.In a healthcare cloud-based cyber-physical system(CCPS),the data is often collected by resource-constraint devices;therefore,here also,we cannot directly apply ABSE schemes.In the proposed work,the inherent computational cost of the ABSE scheme is managed by executing the computationally intensive tasks of a typical ABSE scheme on the blockchain network.Thus,it makes the proposed scheme suitable for online storage and retrieval of personal health data in a typical CCPS.With the assistance of blockchain technology,the proposed scheme offers two main benefits.First,it is free from a trusted authority,which makes it genuinely decentralized and free from a single point of failure.Second,it is computationally efficient because the computational load is now distributed among the consensus nodes in the blockchain network.Specifically,the task of initializing the system,which is considered the most computationally intensive,and the task of partial search token generation,which is considered as the most frequent operation,is now the responsibility of the consensus nodes.This eliminates the need of the trusted authority and reduces the burden of data users,respectively.Further,in comparison to existing decentralized fine-grained searchable encryption schemes,the proposed scheme has achieved a significant reduction in storage and computational cost for the secret key associated with users.It has been verified both theoretically and practically in the performance analysis section.

Construction and Optimization of TRNG Based Substitution Boxes for Block Encryption Algorithms

Internet of Things is an ecosystem of interconnected devices that are accessible through the internet.The recent research focuses on adding more smartness and intelligence to these edge devices.This makes them susceptible to various kinds of security threats.These edge devices rely on cryptographic techniques to encrypt the pre-processed data collected from the sensors deployed in the field.In this regard,block cipher has been one of the most reliable options through which data security is accomplished.The strength of block encryption algorithms against different attacks is dependent on its nonlinear primitive which is called Substitution Boxes.For the design of S-boxes mainly algebraic and chaos-based techniques are used but researchers also found various weaknesses in these techniques.On the other side,literature endorse the true random numbers for information security due to the reason that,true random numbers are purely non-deterministic.In this paper firstly a natural dynamical phenomenon is utilized for the generation of true random numbers based S-boxes.Secondly,a systematic literature review was conducted to know which metaheuristic optimization technique is highly adopted in the current decade for the optimization of S-boxes.Based on the outcome of Systematic Literature Review(SLR),genetic algorithm is chosen for the optimization of s-boxes.The results of our method validate that the proposed dynamic S-boxes are effective for the block ciphers.Moreover,our results showed that the proposed substitution boxes achieve better cryptographic strength as compared with state-of-the-art techniques.

Pipeline Defect Detection Cloud System Using Role Encryption and Hybrid Information

Pipeline defect detection systems collect the videos from cameras of pipeline robots,however the systems always analyzed these videos by offline systems or humans to detect the defects of potential security threats.The existing systems tend to reach the limit in terms of data access anywhere,access security and video processing on cloud.There is in need of studying on a pipeline defect detection cloud system for automatic pipeline inspection.In this paper,we deploy the framework of a cloud based pipeline defect detection system,including the user management module,pipeline robot control module,system service module,and defect detection module.In the system,we use a role encryption scheme for video collection,data uploading,and access security,and propose a hybrid information method for defect detection.The experimental results show that our approach is a scalable and efficient defection detection cloud system.

Mode of Operation for Modification, Insertion, and Deletion of Encrypted Data

Due to the development of 5G communication,many aspects of information technology(IT)services are changing.With the development of communication technologies such as 5G,it has become possible to provide IT services that were difficult to provide in the past.One of the services made possible through this change is cloud-based collaboration.In order to support secure collaboration over cloud,encryption technology to securely manage dynamic data is essential.However,since the existing encryption technology is not suitable for encryption of dynamic data,a new technology that can provide encryption for dynamic data is required for secure cloudbased collaboration.In this paper,we propose a new encryption technology to support secure collaboration for dynamic data in the cloud.Specifically,we propose an encryption operation mode which can support data updates such as modification,addition,and deletion of encrypted data in an encrypted state.To support the dynamic update of encrypted data,we invent a new mode of operation technique named linked-block cipher(LBC).Basic idea of our work is to use an updatable random value so-called link to link two encrypted blocks.Due to the use of updatable random link values,we can modify,insert,and delete an encrypted data without decrypt it.

Analyzing Computational Components of Standard Block Encryption Schemes

Encryption is used to secure sensitive computer data which may be at rest or in motion. There are several standard encryption algorithms that have been used to encrypt and protect blocks of sensitive data to ensure confidentiality. The most popular standard block encryption schemes are the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), and the first standardized encryption scheme, which is no longer the standard scheme now, namely the Data Encryption Standard (DES). AES is the current standard for block encryption used worldwide and is implemented on many processors. In this work, we compare the hardware performance of these three encryption schemes. First, we identified the underlying computational components for these three encryption schemes, and then we analyzed to what extent these computational components were being used in these block encryption schemes to encrypt and decrypt a given message. In this paper, we compared the contribution of these computational components to evaluate the overall encryption efficiency in terms of speed and computational delays for encrypting a given block of data for a given hardware platform. AES was found to be the faster scheme in terms of hardware computation speed in accomplishing the same encryption task compared to the other two block encryption schemes, namely, the DES and 3DES schemes.

Improved Video Steganography with Dual Cover Medium,DNA and Complex Frames

The most valuable resource on the planet is no longer oil,but data.The transmission of this data securely over the internet is another challenge that comes with its ever-increasing value.In order to transmit sensitive information securely,researchers are combining robust cryptography and steganographic approaches.The objective of this research is to introduce a more secure method of video steganography by using Deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)for embedding encrypted data and an intelligent frame selection algorithm to improve video imperceptibility.In the previous approach,DNA was used only for frame selection.If this DNA is compromised,then our frames with the hidden and unencrypted data will be exposed.Moreover the frame selected in this way were random frames,and no consideration was made to the contents of frames.Hiding data in this way introduces visible artifacts in video.In the proposed approach rather than using DNA for frame selection we have created a fakeDNA out of our data and then embedded it in a video file on intelligently selected frames called the complex frames.Using chaotic maps and linear congruential generators,a unique pixel set is selected each time only from the identified complex frames,and encrypted data is embedded in these random locations.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique shows minimum degradation of the stenographic video hence reducing the very first chances of visual surveillance.Further,the selection of complex frames for embedding and creation of a fake DNA as proposed in this research have higher peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and reduced mean squared error(MSE)values that indicate improved results.The proposed methodology has been implemented in Matlab.

Analysis of Secured Cloud Data Storage Model for Information

This paper was motivated by the existing problems of Cloud Data storage in Imo State University, Nigeria such as outsourced data causing the loss of data and misuse of customer information by unauthorized users or hackers, thereby making customer/client data visible and unprotected. Also, this led to enormous risk of the clients/customers due to defective equipment, bugs, faulty servers, and specious actions. The aim if this paper therefore is to analyze a secure model using Unicode Transformation Format (UTF) base 64 algorithms for storage of data in cloud securely. The methodology used was Object Orientated Hypermedia Analysis and Design Methodology (OOHADM) was adopted. Python was used to develop the security model;the role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance security Algorithm were integrated into the Information System developed with HTML 5, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) version 3 and PHP7. This paper also discussed some of the following concepts;Development of Computing in Cloud, Characteristics of computing, Cloud deployment Model, Cloud Service Models, etc. The results showed that the proposed enhanced security model for information systems of cooperate platform handled multiple authorization and authentication menace, that only one login page will direct all login requests of the different modules to one Single Sign On Server (SSOS). This will in turn redirect users to their requested resources/module when authenticated, leveraging on the Geo-location integration for physical location validation. The emergence of this newly developed system will solve the shortcomings of the existing systems and reduce time and resources incurred while using the existing system.

Blockchain-Based Islamic Marriage Certification with the Supremacy of Web 3.0

Marriage is a momentous event in anyone’s life. It is not just an ordinary relationship. This partnership is supported legally by a civil contract between a man and a woman. According to Islamic values, the Muslim community keeps records of their marriage contract called Nikah-Nama. Currently, the Bangladesh government records the Nikah-Nama in a classic logbook. It is 2022, and this sector has not seen significant upgradation for decades. This system is highly inefficient, prone to impairment, and has fraud loopholes. Corrupt citizens use these loopholes to cheat life partners, cross the marriage limits and conduct an enormous number of offenses. This paper proposes an approach to revolutionize the entire marriage recording system of Bangladesh. It describes step-by-step procedures and the better way to implement a digital Muslim marriage data preservation system. Bleeding-edge technologies are prioritized in this work by keeping web 3.0 in mind to bring innovation to this segment. This paper reflects the minimal approach to the proper digitalization of this issue. The whole idea of this concept is highly scalable. This prototype implementation is ready for any community, group, religion, or Government with an affordable technical infrastructure. The demonstration version is developed according to the conventional marriage rules and guidelines of Bangladesh. Nevertheless, others can also adopt this software ecosystem with minor or further modifications.

High capacity reversible data hiding in encrypted images based on adaptive quadtree partitioning and MSB prediction

To improve the embedding capacity of reversible data hiding in encrypted images(RDH-EI),a new RDH-EI scheme is proposed based on adaptive quadtree partitioning and most significant bit(MSB)prediction.First,according to the smoothness of the image,the image is partitioned into blocks based on adaptive quadtree partitioning,and then blocks of different sizes are encrypted and scrambled at the block level to resist the analysis of the encrypted images.In the data embedding stage,the adaptive MSB prediction method proposed by Wang and He(2022)is improved by taking the upper-left pixel in the block as the target pixel,to predict other pixels to free up more embedding space.To the best of our knowledge,quadtree partitioning is first applied to RDH-EI.Simulation results show that the proposed method is reversible and separable,and that its average embedding capacity is improved.For gray images with a size of 512×512,the average embedding capacity is increased by 25565 bits.For all smooth images with improved embedding capacity,the average embedding capacity is increased by about 35530 bits.

Secure searchable encryption:a survey

Cloud computing facilitates convenient and on-demand network access to a centralized pool of resources.Currently,many users prefer to outsource data to the cloud in order to mitigate the burden of local storage.However,storing sensitive data on remote servers poses privacy challenges and is currently a source of concern.SE(Searchable Encryption)is a positive way to protect users sensitive data,while preserving search ability on the server side.SE allows the server to search encrypted data without leaking information in plaintext data.The two main branches of SE are SSE(Searchable Symmetric Encryption)and PEKS(Public key Encryption with Keyword Search).SSE allows only private key holders to produce ciphertexts and to create trapdoors for search,whereas PEKS enables a number of users who know the public key to produce ciphertexts but allows only the private key holder to create trapdoors.This article surveys the two main techniques of SE:SSE and PEKS.Different SE schemes are categorized and compared in terms of functionality,efficiency,and security.Moreover,we point out some valuable directions for future work on SE schemes.

Research on the Realization Path and Application of a Data Governance System Based on Data Architecture

The construction and development of the digital economy,digital society and digital government are facing some common basic problems.Among them,the construction of the data governance system and the improvement of data governance capacity are short boards and weak links,which have seriously restricted the construction and development of the digital economy,digital society and digital government.At present,the broad concept of data governance goes beyond the scope of traditional data governance,which“involves at least four aspects:the establishment of data asset status,management system and mechanism,sharing and openness,security and privacy protection”.Traditional information technologies and methods are powerless to comprehensively solve these problems,so it is urgent to improve understanding and find another way to reconstruct the information technology architecture to provide a scientific and reasonable technical system for effectively solving the problems of data governance.This paper redefined the information technology architecture and proposed the data architecture as the connection link and application support system between the traditional hardware architecture and software architecture.The data registration system is the core composition of the data architecture,and the public key encryption and authentication system is the key component of the data architecture.This data governance system based on the data architecture supports complex,comprehensive,collaborative and cross-domain business application scenarios.It provides scientific and feasible basic support for the construction and development of the digital economy,digital society and digital government.

Cloud-based data security transactions employing blowfish and spotted hyena optimisation algorithm

Because of its on-demand servicing and scalability features in cloud computing,security and confidentiality have converted to key concerns.Maintaining transaction information on thirdparty servers carries significant dangers so that malicious individuals trying for illegal access to information data security architecture.This research proposes a security-aware information transfer in the cloud-based on the blowfish algorithm(BFA)to address the issue.The user is verified initially with the identification and separate the imported data using pattern matching technique.Further,BFA is utilised to encrypt and save the data in cloud.This can safeguard the data and streamline the proof so that client cannot retrieve the information without identification which makes the environment secure.The suggested approach’s performance is evaluated using several metrics,including encryption time,decryption time,memory utilisation,and runtime.Compared to the existing methodology,the investigational findings clearly show that the method takes the least time to data encryption.

Key Recovery Against 3DES in CPU Smart Card Based on Improved Correlation Power Analysis

The security of CPU smart cards,which are widely used throughout China,is currently being threatened by side-channel analysis.Typical countermeasures to side-channel analysis involve adding noise and filtering the power consumption signal.In this paper,we integrate appropriate preprocessing methods with an improved attack strategy to generate a key recovery solution to the shortcomings of these countermeasures.Our proposed attack strategy improves the attack result by combining information leaked from two adjacent clock cycles.Using our laboratory-based power analysis system,we verified the proposed key recovery solution by performing a successful correlation power analysis on a Triple Data Encryption Standard(3DES)hardware module in a real-life 32-bit CPU smart card.All 112 key bits of the 3DES were recovered with about 80 000 power traces.
