Quantum Leap: Improving Cybersecurity for the Next Era of Computing by Focusing on Users

The need to secure communications is critical for militaries and has offered an advantage in battle across history for those who do it well. The advent of new technologies offers ways of securing information, which appears impenetrable by t...

Transverse anomalies and Dyson–Schwinger equation in QED3 and QED2 theories

Based on the method of computing the curl of vector, axial-vector and the tensor current operator equations, the possible quantum anomaly for the transverse Ward–Takahashi relations in QED3 and QED2 theories is studied. The absence of trans...

Automated integration of real-time and non-real-time defense systems

Various application domains require the integration of distributed real-time or near-real-time systems with non-real-time systems. Smart cities, smart homes, ambient intelligent systems, or network-centric defense systems are among these ap...

Event-Based Moving Target Defense in Cloud Computing With VM Migration: A Performance Modeling Approach

The domain of information security is undergoing significant evolution to address the increasingly complex challenges aimed at bolstering system resilience against attacks. The Moving Target Defense (MTD) methodology, which entails altering...

The Role of Machine Learning in Cybersecurity

Machine Learning (ML) represents a pivotal technology for current and future information systems, and many domains already leverage the capabilities of ML. However, deployment of ML in cybersecurity is still at an early stage, revealing a s...

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 ...

System Approach to Coherent Cybersecurity Strategy

Cyber-attacks affect not only our daily lives, but also national security by influencing elections, the economy, and communication. This article is an attempt to give an answer to the question included in the topic “How to build a coherent ...

A Survey on Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity

The “black-box” nature of artificial intelligence (AI) models has been the source of many concerns in their use for critical applications. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is a rapidly growing research field that aims to create mac...

Defining Social Engineering in Cybersecurity

Social engineering has posed a serious security threat to infrastructure, user, data and operations of cyberspace. Nevertheless, there are many conceptual deficiencies (such as inconsistent conceptual intensions, a vague conceptual boundary...

Hardware-Anchored ES-SPA: A Dynamic Zero-Trust Architecture for Secure eSIM Provisioning in 6G IoT via Moving Target Defense

The rapid evolution of 6G networks and large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) deployments intensifies security and privacy challenges in embedded SIM (eSIM) Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP), particularly during the bootstrap and profile delivery...

Practical Vulnerability-Information-Sharing Architecture for Automotive Security-Risk Analysis

Emerging trends that are shaping the future of the automotive industry include electrification, autonomous driving, sharing, and connectivity, and these trends keep changing annually. Thus, the automotive industry is shifting from mechanica...

Immunology of Psoriasis

The skin is the front line of defense against insult and injury and contains many epidermal and immune elements that comprise the skin-associated lymphoid tissue (SALT). The reaction of these components to injury allows an effective cutaneo...

Early urate-lowering therapy in gouty arthritis with acute flares: a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial

Abstract Background Gouty arthritis (GA) is a chronic systemic disease with recurrent acute monoarthritis. In a previous study, a higher incidence of acute flares was observed during the initial marked decrease in serum urate level. Our stu...

Immunology for physicists

The immune system is a complex system of cells and molecules that can provide us with a basic defense against pathogenic organisms. Like the nervous system, the immune system performs pattern recognition tasks, learns, and retains a memory ...
