Automated Detection of COVID-19 from Multimodal Imaging Data Using Optimized Convolutional Neural Network Model.

The incidence of COVID-19, a virus that is responsible for infections in the upper respiratory tract and lungs, witnessed a daily rise in fatalities throughout the pandemic. The timely identification of COVID-19 can contribute to the formulation of strategies to control the disease and the selection of an appropriate treatment pathway. Given the necessity for broader COVID-19 diagnosis, researchers have developed more advanced, rapid, and efficient detection methods. By conducting an initial comparative analysis of various widely used convolutional neural network (CNN) models, we determine an appropriate CNN model. Subsequently, we enhance the chosen CNN model using the feature fusion strategy from multi-modal imaging datasets. Moreover, the Jaya optimization technique is employed to determine the optimal weighting for merging these dual features into a single feature vector. An SVM classifier is employed to categorize samples as either COVID-19 positive or negative. For the purpose of experimentation, a standard dataset consisting of 10,000 samples is used, divided equally between COVID-19 positive and negative classes. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that the proposed fine-tuned system, coupled with optimization techniques for multi-modal data, exhibits superior performance, achieving accuracy rates of 98.7% as compared to the existing state-of-the-art network models.

A Breast Cancer Image Classification Algorithm with 2c Multiclass Support Vector Machine.

Breast cancer is the most frequent type of cancer in women; however, early identification has reduced the mortality rate associated with the condition. Studies have demonstrated that the earlier this sickness is detected by mammography, the lower the death rate. Breast mammography is a critical technique in the early identification of breast cancer since it can detect abnormalities in the breast months or years before a patient is aware of the presence of such abnormalities. Mammography is a type of breast scanning used in medical imaging that involves using x-rays to image the breasts. It is a method that produces high-resolution digital pictures of the breasts known as mammography. Immediately following the capture of digital images and transmission of those images to a piece of high-tech digital mammography equipment, our radiologists evaluate the photos to establish the specific position and degree of the sickness in the breast. When compared to the many classifiers typically used in the literature, the suggested Multiclass Support Vector Machine (MSVM) approach produces promising results, according to the authors. This method may pave the way for developing more advanced statistical characteristics based on most cancer prognostic models shortly. It is demonstrated in this paper that the suggested 2C algorithm with MSVM outperforms a decision tree model in terms of accuracy, which follows prior findings. According to our findings, new screening mammography technologies can increase the accuracy and accessibility of screening mammography around the world.

Error Concealment in the Density Field of a Spatiotemporal Image Sequence.

One of the most difficult challenges of multimedia transmission during the last two decades has been the retrieval of degraded or missing regions of images and videos while maintaining satisfactory perceptual accuracy. The objective is to retrieve lost data by using the similarity between frames. Usually, error concealment (EC) schemes depend on replacing incorrect data with data that are identical to the initial. This is possible because video contains a high degree of self-similarity. This research focuses on applying an EC approach in transform-domain video sequences. To conduct EC on films, they must first be translated to frames and then transformed using one of the available transformations into frequency-domain images. Using successive frames, it is possible to recover lost or incorrect data from images. Intra-coded frames (I-frames) may be used to recreate lost knowledge in predictive (P-frames) and bidirectional predictive frames (B-frames). I-frame knowledge that has been lost may be restored using previous intra-coded frames. The use of wavelet error concealment generated more precise results than the other techniques. In this study, it was discovered that covering faults in the density sector with wavelets produces more reliable results than the other techniques.

AES Based White Box Cryptography in Digital Signature Verification.

According to the standard paradigm, white box cryptographic primitives are used to block black box attacks and protect sensitive information. This is performed to safeguard the protected information and keys against black box assaults. An adversary in such a setting is aware of the method and can analyze many system inputs and outputs, but is blind to the specifics of how a critical instantiation primitive is implemented. This is the focus of white-box solutions, which are designed to withstand attacks that come from the execution environment. This is significant because an attacker may obtain unrestricted access to the program's execution in this environment. The purpose of this article is to assess the efficiency of white-box implementations in terms of security. Our contribution is twofold: first, we explore the practical implementations of white-box approaches, and second, we analyze the theoretical foundations upon which these implementations are built. First, a research proposal is crafted that details white-box applications of DES and AES encryption algorithms. To begin, this preparation is necessary. The research effort planned for this project also includes cryptanalysis of these techniques. Once the general cryptanalysis results have been examined, the white-box design approaches will be covered. We have decided to launch an investigation into creating a theoretical model for white box, since no prior formal definitions have been offered, and suggested implementations have not been accompanied by any assurance of security. This is due to the fact that no formal definition of "white box" has ever been provided. In this way lies the explanation for why this is the situation. We define WBC to encompass the security requirements of WBC specified over a white box cryptography technology and a security concept by studying formal models of obfuscation and shown security. This definition is the product of extensive investigation. This state-of-the-art theoretical model provides a setting in which to investigate the security of white-box implementations, leading to a wide range of positive and negative conclusions. As a result, this paper includes the results of a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) study which may be put to use in the real world with signature verification. Possible future applications of White Box Cryptography (WBC) research findings are discussed in light of these purposes and areas of investigation.

Cyber-Internet Security Framework to Conquer Energy-Related Attacks on the Internet of Things with Machine Learning Techniques.

The Internet of Things (IoT) ushers in a new era of communication that depends on a broad range of things and many types of communication technologies to share information. This new age of communication will be characterised by the following characteristics: Because all of the IoT's objects are connected to one another and because they function in environments that are not protected, it poses a significantly greater number of issues, constraints, and challenges than do traditional computing systems. This is due to the fact that traditional computing systems do not have as many interconnected components. Because of this, it is imperative that security be prioritised in a new approach, which is not something that is currently present in conventional computer systems. The Wireless Sensor Network, often known as WSN, and the Mobile Ad hoc Network are two technologies that play significant roles in the process of building an Internet of Things system. These technologies are used in a wide variety of activities, including sensing, environmental monitoring, data collecting, heterogeneous communication techniques, and data processing, amongst others. Because it incorporates characteristics of both MANET and WSN, IoT is susceptible to the same kinds of security issues that affect those other networks. An assault known as a Delegate Entity Attack (DEA) is a subclass of an attack known as a Denial of Service (DoS). The attacker sends an unacceptable number of control packets that have the appearance of being authentic. DoS assaults may take many different forms, and one of those kinds is an SD attack. Because of this, it is far more difficult to recognise this form of attack than a simple one that depletes the battery's capacity. One of the other key challenges that arise in a network during an SD attack is that there is the need to enhance energy management and prolong the lifespan of IoT nodes. This is one of the other significant issues that arise in a network when an SD attack is occurs. It is recommended that you make use of a Random Number Generator with Hierarchical Intrusion Detection System, abbreviated as RNGHID for short. The ecosystem of the Internet of Things is likely to be segmented into a great number of separate sectors and clusters. The HIPS system has been partitioned into two entities, which are referred to as the Delegate Entity (DE) and the Pivotal Entity, in order to identify any nodes in the network that are behaving in an abnormal manner. These entities are known, respectively, as the Delegate Entity and the Pivotal Entity (PE). Once the anomalies have been identified, it will be possible to pinpoint the area of the SD attack torture and the damaging activities that have been taken place. A warning message, generated by the Malicious Node Alert System (MNAS), is broadcast across the network in order to inform the other nodes that the network is under attack. This message classifies the various sorts of attacks based on the results of an algorithm that employs machine learning. The proposed protocol displays various desired properties, such as the capacity to conduct indivisible authentication, rapid authentication, and minimum overhead in both transmission and storage. These are only a few of the desirable attributes.

Detection of Malicious Cloud Bandwidth Consumption in Cloud Computing Using Machine Learning Techniques.

The Internet of Things, sometimes known as IoT, is a relatively new kind of Internet connectivity that connects physical objects to the Internet in a way that was not possible in the past. The Internet of Things is another name for this concept (IoT). The Internet of Things has a larger attack surface as a result of its hyperconnectivity and heterogeneity, both of which are characteristics of the IoT. In addition, since the Internet of Things devices are deployed in managed and uncontrolled contexts, it is conceivable for malicious actors to build new attacks that target these devices. As a result, the Internet of Things (IoT) requires self-protection security systems that are able to autonomously interpret attacks in IoT traffic and efficiently handle the attack scenario by triggering appropriate reactions at a pace that is faster than what is currently available. In order to fulfill this requirement, fog computing must be utilised. This type of computing has the capability of integrating an intelligent self-protection mechanism into the distributed fog nodes. This allows the IoT application to be protected with the least amount of human intervention while also allowing for faster management of attack scenarios. Implementing a self-protection mechanism at malicious fog nodes is the primary objective of this research work. This mechanism should be able to detect and predict known attacks based on predefined attack patterns, as well as predict novel attacks based on no predefined attack patterns, and then choose the most appropriate response to neutralise the identified attack. In the environment of the IoT, a distributed Gaussian process regression is used at fog nodes to anticipate attack patterns that have not been established in the past. This allows for the prediction of new cyberattacks in the environment. It predicts attacks in an uncertain IoT setting at a speedier rate and with greater precision than prior techniques. It is able to effectively anticipate both low-rate and high-rate assaults in a more timely manner within the dispersed fog nodes, which enables it to mount a more accurate defence. In conclusion, a fog computing-based self-protection system is developed to choose the most appropriate reaction using fuzzy logic for detected or anticipated assaults using the suggested detection and prediction mechanisms. This is accomplished by utilising a self-protection system that is based on the development of a self-protection system that utilises the suggested detection and prediction mechanisms. The findings of the experimental investigation indicate that the proposed system identifies threats, lowers bandwidth usage, and thwarts assaults at a rate that is twenty-five percent faster than the cloud-based system implementation.

Classification of Skin Cancer Lesions Using Explainable Deep Learning.

Skin cancer is among the most prevalent and life-threatening forms of cancer that occur worldwide. Traditional methods of skin cancer detection need an in-depth physical examination by a medical professional, which is time-consuming in some cases. Recently, computer-aided medical diagnostic systems have gained popularity due to their effectiveness and efficiency. These systems can assist dermatologists in the early detection of skin cancer, which can be lifesaving. In this paper, the pre-trained MobileNetV2 and DenseNet201 deep learning models are modified by adding additional convolution layers to effectively detect skin cancer. Specifically, for both models, the modification includes stacking three convolutional layers at the end of both the models. A thorough comparison proves that the modified models show their superiority over the original pre-trained MobileNetV2 and DenseNet201 models. The proposed method can detect both benign and malignant classes. The results indicate that the proposed Modified DenseNet201 model achieves 95.50% accuracy and state-of-the-art performance when compared with other techniques present in the literature. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of the Modified DenseNet201 model are 93.96% and 97.03%, respectively.

Augmented Reality-Centered Position Navigation for Wearable Devices with Machine Learning Techniques.

People have always relied on some form of instrument to assist them to get to their destination, from hand-drawn maps and compasses to technology-based navigation systems. Many individuals these days have a smartphone with them at all times, making it a common part of their routine. Using GPS technology, these cellphones offer applications such as Google Maps that let people find their way around the outside world. Indoor navigation, on the other hand, does not offer the same level of precision. The development of indoor navigation systems is continuously ongoing. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, and computer vision are some of the existing technologies used for interior navigation in current systems. In this article, we discuss the shortcomings of current indoor navigation solutions and offer an alternative approach based on augmented reality and ARCore. Navigating an indoor environment is made easier with ARCore, which brings augmented reality to your smartphone or tablet.

Personalized Liver Cancer Risk Prediction Using Big Data Analytics Techniques with Image Processing Segmentation.

A technology known as data analytics is a massively parallel processing approach that may be used to forecast a wide range of illnesses. Many scientific research methodologies have the problem of requiring a significant amount of time and processing effort, which has a negative impact on the overall performance of the system. Virtual screening (VS) is a drug discovery approach that makes use of big data techniques and is based on the concept of virtual screening. This approach is utilised for the development of novel drugs, and it is a time-consuming procedure that includes the docking of ligands in several databases in order to build the protein receptor. The proposed work is divided into two modules: image processing-based cancer segmentation and analysis using extracted features using big data analytics, and cancer segmentation and analysis using extracted features using image processing. This statistical approach is critical in the development of new drugs for the treatment of liver cancer. Machine learning methods were utilised in the prediction of liver cancer, including the MapReduce and Mahout algorithms, which were used to prefilter the set of ligand filaments before they were used in the prediction of liver cancer. This work proposes the SMRF algorithm, an improved scalable random forest algorithm built on the MapReduce foundation. Using a computer cluster or cloud computing environment, this new method categorises massive datasets. With SMRF, small amounts of data are processed and optimised over a large number of computers, allowing for the highest possible throughput. When compared to the standard random forest method, the testing findings reveal that the SMRF algorithm exhibits the same level of accuracy deterioration but exhibits superior overall performance. The accuracy range of 80 percent using the performance metrics analysis is included in the actual formulation of the medicine that is utilised for liver cancer prediction in this study.

Intelligent Wearable Devices Enabled Automatic Vehicle Detection and Tracking System with Video-Enabled UAV Networks Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network and IoT Surveillance.

The discipline of computer vision is becoming more popular as a research subject. In a surveillance-based computer vision application, item identification and tracking are the core procedures. They consist of segmenting and tracking an object of interest from a sequence of video frames, and they are both performed using computer vision algorithms. In situations when the camera is fixed and the backdrop remains constant, it is possible to detect items in the background using more straightforward methods. Aerial surveillance, on the other hand, is characterized by the fact that the target, as well as the background and video camera, are all constantly moving. It is feasible to recognize targets in the video data captured by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using the mean shift tracking technique in combination with a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). It is critical that the target detection algorithm maintains its accuracy even in the presence of changing lighting conditions, dynamic clutter, and changes in the scene environment. Even though there are several approaches for identifying moving objects in the video, background reduction is the one that is most often used. An adaptive background model is used to create a mean shift tracking technique, which is shown and implemented in this work. In this situation, the background model is provided and updated frame-by-frame, and therefore, the problem of occlusion is fully eliminated from the equation. The target tracking algorithm is fed the same video stream that was used for the target identification algorithm to work with. In MATLAB, the works are simulated, and their performance is evaluated using image-based and video-based metrics to establish how well they operate in the real world.

Optimal Medical Image Size Reduction Model Creation Using Recurrent Neural Network and GenPSOWVQ.

Medical diagnosis is always a time and a sensitive approach to proper medical treatment. Automation systems have been developed to improve these issues. In the process of automation, images are processed and sent to the remote brain for processing and decision making. It is noted that the image is written for compaction to reduce processing and computational costs. Images require large storage and transmission resources to perform their operations. A good strategy for pictures compression can help minimize these requirements. The question of compressing data on accuracy is always a challenge. Therefore, to optimize imaging, it is necessary to reduce inconsistencies in medical imaging. So this document introduces a new image compression scheme called the GenPSOWVQ method that uses a recurrent neural network with wavelet VQ. The codebook is built using a combination of fragments and genetic algorithms. The newly developed image compression model attains precise compression while maintaining image accuracy with lower computational costs when encoding clinical images. The proposed method was tested using real-time medical imaging using PSNR, MSE, SSIM, NMSE, SNR, and CR indicators. Experimental results show that the proposed GenPSOWVQ method yields higher PSNR SSIMM values for a given compression ratio than the existing methods. In addition, the proposed GenPSOWVQ method yields lower values of MSE, RMSE, and SNR for a given compression ratio than the existing methods.

Cancer Categorization Using Genetic Algorithm to Identify Biomarker Genes.

In the microarray gene expression data, there are a large number of genes that are expressed at varying levels of expression. Given that there are only a few critically significant genes, it is challenging to analyze and categorize datasets that span the whole gene space. In order to aid in the diagnosis of cancer disease and, as a consequence, the suggestion of individualized treatment, the discovery of biomarker genes is essential. Starting with a large pool of candidates, the parallelized minimal redundancy and maximum relevance ensemble (mRMRe) is used to choose the top m informative genes from a huge pool of candidates. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to heuristically compute the ideal set of genes by applying the Mahalanobis Distance (MD) as a distance metric. Once the genes have been identified, they are input into the GA. It is used as a classifier to four microarray datasets using the approved approach (mRMRe-GA), with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) serving as the classification basis. Leave-One-Out-Cross-Validation (LOOCV) is a cross-validation technique for assessing the performance of a classifier. It is now being investigated if the proposed mRMRe-GA strategy can be compared to other approaches. It has been shown that the proposed mRMRe-GA approach enhances classification accuracy while employing less genetic material than previous methods. Microarray, Gene Expression Data, GA, Feature Selection, SVM, and Cancer Classification are some of the terms used in this paper.

Novel Method for Safeguarding Personal Health Record in Cloud Connection Using Deep Learning Models.

It is a new online service paradigm that allows consumers to exchange their health data. Health information management software allows individuals to control and share their health data with other users and healthcare experts. Patient health records (PHR) may be intelligently examined to predict patient criticality in healthcare systems. Unauthorized access, privacy, security, key management, and increased keyword query search time all occur when personal health records (PHR) are moved to a third-party semitrusted server. This paper presents security measures for cloud-based personal health records (PHR). The cost of keeping health records on a hospital server grows. This is particularly true in healthcare. As a consequence, keeping PHRs in the cloud helps healthcare institutions save money on infrastructure. The proposed security solutions include an optimized rule-based fuzzy inference system (ORFIS) to determine the patient's criticality. Patients are classified into three groups (sometimes known as protective rings) based on their severity: very critical, less critical, and normal. In trials using the UCI machine learning archive, the new ORFIS outperformed existing fuzzy inference approaches in detecting the criticality of PHR. Using a graph-based access policy and anonymous authentication with a NoSQL database in a private cloud environment improves data storage and retrieval efficiency, granularity of data access, and response time.

HDL-IDS: A Hybrid Deep Learning Architecture for Intrusion Detection in the Internet of Vehicles.

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an application of the Internet of Things (IoT) network that connects smart vehicles to the internet, and vehicles with each other. With the emergence of IoV technology, customers have placed great attention on smart vehicles. However, the rapid growth of IoV has also caused many security and privacy challenges that can lead to fatal accidents. To reduce smart vehicle accidents and detect malicious attacks in vehicular networks, several researchers have presented machine learning (ML)-based models for intrusion detection in IoT networks. However, a proficient and real-time faster algorithm is needed to detect malicious attacks in IoV. This article proposes a hybrid deep learning (DL) model for cyber attack detection in IoV. The proposed model is based on long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU). The performance of the proposed model is analyzed by using two datasets-a combined DDoS dataset that contains CIC DoS, CI-CIDS 2017, and CSE-CIC-IDS 2018, and a car-hacking dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves higher attack detection accuracy of 99.5% and 99.9% for DDoS and car hacks, respectively. The other performance scores, precision, recall, and F1-score, also verify the superior performance of the proposed framework.

Complex behavior of COVID-19's mathematical model.

It is almost more than a year that earth has faced a severe worldwide problem called COVID-19. In December 2019, the origin of the epidemic was found in China. After that, this contagious virus was reported almost all over the world with different variants. Besides all the healthcare system attempts, quarantine, and vaccination, it is needed to study the dynamical behavior of this disease specifically. One of the practical tools that may help scientists analyze the dynamical behavior of epidemic disease is mathematical models. Accordingly, here, a novel mathematical system is introduced. Also, the complex behavior of this model is investigated considering different dynamical analyses. The results represent that some range of parameters may lead the model to chaotic behavior. Moreover, comparing the two same bifurcation diagrams with different initial conditions reveals that the model has multi-stability.

A Deep Learning-Based Intrusion Detection System for MQTT Enabled IoT.

A large number of smart devices in Internet of Things (IoT) environments communicate via different messaging protocols. Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a widely used publish-subscribe-based protocol for the communication of sensor or event data. The publish-subscribe strategy makes it more attractive for intruders and thus increases the number of possible attacks over MQTT. In this paper, we proposed a Deep Neural Network (DNN) for intrusion detection in the MQTT-based protocol and also compared its performance with other traditional machine learning (ML) algorithms, such as a Naive Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Decision Tree (DT), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs). The performance is proved using two different publicly available datasets, including (1) MQTT-IoT-IDS2020 and (2) a dataset with three different types of attacks, such as Man in the Middle (MitM), Intrusion in the network, and Denial of Services (DoS). The MQTT-IoT-IDS2020 contains three abstract-level features, including Uni-Flow, Bi-Flow, and Packet-Flow. The results for the first dataset and binary classification show that the DNN-based model achieved 99.92%, 99.75%, and 94.94% accuracies for Uni-flow, Bi-flow, and Packet-flow, respectively. However, in the case of multi-label classification, these accuracies reduced to 97.08%, 98.12%, and 90.79%, respectively. On the other hand, the proposed DNN model attains the highest accuracy of 97.13% against LSTM and GRUs for the second dataset.

An Efficient Electronic Cash System Based on Certificateless Group Signcryption Scheme Using Conformable Chaotic Maps.

Signcryption schemes leveraging chaotic constructions have garnered significant research interest in recent years. These schemes have proffered practical solutions towards addressing the vast security vulnerabilities in Electronic Cash Systems (ECS). The schemes can seamlessly perform message confidentiality and authentication simultaneously. Still, their applications in emerging electronic cash platforms require a higher degree of complexity in design and robustness, especially as billions of online transactions are conducted globally. Consequently, several security issues arise from using open wireless channels for online business transactions. In order to guarantee the security of user information over these safety-limited channels, sophisticated security schemes are solely desired. However, the existing signcryption schemes cannot provide the required confidentiality and authentication for user information on these online platforms. Therefore, the need for certificateless group signcryption schemes (CGSS) becomes imperative. This paper presents an efficient electronic cash system based on CGSS using conformable chaotic maps (CCM). In our design, any group signcrypter would encrypt information/data with the group manager (GM) and send it to the verifier, who confirms the authenticity of the signcrypted information/data using the public criteria of the group. Additionally, the traceability, unforgeability, unlinkability, and robust security of the proposed CGSS-CCM ECS scheme have been built leveraging computationally difficult problems. Performance evaluation of the proposed CGSS-CCM ECS scheme shows that it is secure from the Indistinguishably Chosen Ciphertext Attack. Finally, the security analysis of the proposed technique shows high efficiency in security-vulnerable applications. Overall, the scheme gave superior security features compared to the existing methods in the preliminaries.

A Provably Secure IBE Transformation Model for PKC Using Conformable Chebyshev Chaotic Maps under Human-Centered IoT Environments.

The place of public key cryptography (PKC) in guaranteeing the security of wireless networks under human-centered IoT environments cannot be overemphasized. PKC uses the idea of paired keys that are mathematically dependent but independent in practice. In PKC, each communicating party needs the public key and the authorized digital certificate of the other party to achieve encryption and decryption. In this circumstance, a directory is required to store the public keys of the participating parties. However, the design of such a directory can be cost-prohibitive and time-consuming. Recently, identity-based encryption (IBE) schemes have been introduced to address the vast limitations of PKC schemes. In a typical IBE system, a third-party server can distribute the public credentials to all parties involved in the system. Thus, the private key can be harvested from the arbitrary public key. As a result, the sender could use the public key of the receiver to encrypt the message, and the receiver could use the extracted private key to decrypt the message. In order to improve systems security, new IBE schemes are solely desired. However, the complexity and cost of designing an entirely new IBE technique remain. In order to address this problem, this paper presents a provably secure IBE transformation model for PKC using conformable Chebyshev chaotic maps under the human-centered IoT environment. In particular, we offer a robust and secure IBE transformation model and provide extensive performance analysis and security proofs of the model. Finally, we demonstrate the superiority of the proposed IBE transformation model over the existing IBE schemes. Overall, results indicate that the proposed scheme posed excellent security capabilities compared to the preliminary IBE-based schemes.

Deep Learning for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): A Comprehensive Survey of Techniques, Implementation Frameworks, Potential Applications, and Future Directions.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the use of smart sensors, actuators, fast communication protocols, and efficient cybersecurity mechanisms to improve industrial processes and applications. In large industrial networks, smart devices generate large amounts of data, and thus IIoT frameworks require intelligent, robust techniques for big data analysis. Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) techniques produce promising results in IIoT networks due to their intelligent learning and processing capabilities. This survey article assesses the potential of DL in IIoT applications and presents a brief architecture of IIoT with key enabling technologies. Several well-known DL algorithms are then discussed along with their theoretical backgrounds and several software and hardware frameworks for DL implementations. Potential deployments of DL techniques in IIoT applications are briefly discussed. Finally, this survey highlights significant challenges and future directions for future research endeavors.

A Novel Hybrid Secure Image Encryption Based on Julia Set of Fractals and 3D Lorenz Chaotic Map.

Chaos-based encryption schemes have attracted many researchers around the world in the digital image security domain. Digital images can be secured using existing chaotic maps, multiple chaotic maps, and several other hybrid dynamic systems that enhance the non-linearity of digital images. The combined property of confusion and diffusion was introduced by Claude Shannon which can be employed for digital image security. In this paper, we proposed a novel system that is computationally less expensive and provided a higher level of security. The system is based on a shuffling process with fractals key along with three-dimensional Lorenz chaotic map. The shuffling process added the confusion property and the pixels of the standard image is shuffled. Three-dimensional Lorenz chaotic map is used for a diffusion process which distorted all pixels of the image. In the statistical security test, means square error (MSE) evaluated error value was greater than the average value of 10000 for all standard images. The value of peak signal to noise (PSNR) was 7.69(dB) for the test image. Moreover, the calculated correlation coefficient values for each direction of the encrypted images was less than zero with a number of pixel change rate (NPCR) higher than 99%. During the security test, the entropy values were more than 7.9 for each grey channel which is almost equal to the ideal value of 8 for an 8-bit system. Numerous security tests and low computational complexity tests validate the security, robustness, and real-time implementation of the presented scheme.
