Zero Trust VPN (ZT-VPN): A Systematic Literature Review and Cybersecurity Framework for Hybrid and Remote Work

Modern organizations have migrated from localized physical offices to work-from-home environments. This surge in remote work culture has exponentially increased the demand for and usage of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), which permit remot...

Practical Employment of Granular Computing to Complex Application Layer Cyberattack Detection

Network and information security are regarded as some of the most pressing problems of contemporary economy, affecting both individual citizens and entire societies, making them a highlight for homeland security. Innovative approaches to ha...

A Comprehensive Cybersecurity Audit Model to Improve Cybersecurity Assurance: The CyberSecurity Audit Model (CSAM)

Nowadays, private corporations and public institutions are dealing with constant and sophisticated cyberthreats and cyberattacks. As a general warning, organizations must build and develop a cybersecurity culture and awareness in order to d...

Feddsg: backdoor defense via semantic filter and geometric constraint in federated learning

Abstract Backdoor attacks pose a serious threat to Internet-of-Things (IoT) federated learning. In IoT deployments, pronounced non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data heterogeneity causes benign client updates to exhibit ...

Cybersecurity and Sustainable Development

Growing interdependencies between organizations lead them towards the creation of inter-organizational networks where cybersecurity and sustainable development have become one of the most important issues. The Environmental Goods and Servic...

SecureBERT: A Domain-Specific Language Model for Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity, Data Privacy and Blockchain: A Review

In this paper, we identify and review key challenges to bridge the knowledge-gap between SME's, companies, organisations, businesses, government institutions and the general public in adopting, promoting and utilising Blockchain technology....

Enhanced Intrusion Detection in Drone Networks: A Cross-Layer Convolutional Attention Approach for Drone-to-Drone and Drone-to-Base Station Communications

Due to Internet of Drones (IoD) technology, drone networks have proliferated, transforming surveillance, logistics, and disaster management. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, malware infections, and communication abnormalities i...

Draft genome sequences of two hypermucoviscous carbapenem-resistant ST25 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains causing respiratory and systemic infections

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The emergence and spread of hypermucoviscous KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains belonging to the sequence type 25 (ST25) clone was reported recently in Northwest Argentina as a leading cause of nosocomial in...

Hardy-Leindler-Type Inequalities via Conformable Delta Fractional Calculus

In this article, some fractional Hardy-Leindler-type inequalities will be illustrated by utilizing the chain law, Hölder’s inequality, and integration by parts on fractional time scales. As a result of this, some classical integral inequali...

TESTS OF HTS 2G SUPERCONDUCTING TAPES USING THE LABVIEW ENVIRONMENT

HTS 2G superconducting tapes without stabilizer are used for the construction of superconducting fault current limiters. The characteristics R =f(T) of the superconducting tape is essential for design of superconducting current limiters and...

Non-truncated strategy to exactly integrate the post-Newtonian Lagrangian circular restricted three-body problem

Abstract In this study, we present a novel non-truncated strategy by accompanying the fixed-point iteration with traditional numerical integrators. The proposed non-truncated strategy aims to exactly integrate implicit motion equations that...

Causal analysis between altered levels of interleukins and obstructive sleep apnea

BackgroundInflammation proteins including interleukins (ILs) have been reported to be related to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aims of this study were to estimate the levels for several key interleukins in OSA and the causal effects be...

Vehicular ad hoc networks verification scheme based on bilinear pairings and networks reverse fuzzy extraction

Abstract Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have facilitated the massive exchange of real-time traffic and weather conditions, which have helped prevent collisions, reduce accidents, and road congestions. This can effectively enhance drivin...

Towards Efficient Function Optimisation with Quantum–Classical Hybrid Search

Finding the global minimum of a function with many local extrema is well known to be a challenging computational task. We propose a hybrid quantum–classical algorithm for this optimisation problem, based on a combination of Grover quantum s...

Relative multiplexing for minimising switching in linear-optical quantum computing

Many existing schemes for linear-optical quantum computing (LOQC) depend on multiplexing (MUX), which uses dynamic routing to enable near-deterministic gates and sources to be constructed using heralded, probabilistic primitives. MUXing acc...

The rank of contextuality

Quantum contextuality is one of the most recognized resources in quantum communication and computing scenarios. We provide a new quantifier of this resource, the rank of contextuality (RC). We define RC as the minimum number of non-contextu...

QG-WRN: A Quantum-Enhanced Graph Convolutional Wide Residual Network for ASD Diagnosis via Neuroimaging Sensing Technology

The pathological mechanism of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits dual heterogeneity: abnormal local energy metabolism and brain-wide high-order topological failure. To synergistically characterize these complex signals captured by adva...

A Secure, Intelligent, and Smart-Sensing Approach for Industrial System Automation and Transmission over Unsecured Wireless Networks
