- The integration between cloud computing and vehicular ad hoc networks, namely, vehicular clouds (VCs), has become a significant research area. This integration was proposed to accelerate the adoption of intelligent transportation systems. The trustworthiness in VCs is expected to carry more computing capabilities that manage large-scale collected data. This trend requires a security evaluation framework that ensures data privacy protection, integrity of information, and availability of resources. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that proposes a robust trustworthiness evaluation of vehicular cloud for security criteria evaluation and selection. This article proposes three-level security features in order to develop effectiveness and trustworthiness in VCs. To assess and evaluate these security features, our evaluation framework consists of three main interconnected components: 1) an aggregation of the security evaluation values of the security criteria for each level; 2) a fuzzy multicriteria decision-making algorithm; and 3) a simple additive weight associated with the importance-performance analysis and performance rate to visualize the framework findings. The evaluation results of the security criteria based on the average performance rate and global weight suggest that data residency, data privacy, and data ownership are the most pressing challenges in assessing data protection in a VC environment. Overall, this article paves the way for a secure VC using an evaluation of effective security features and underscores directions and challenges facing the VC community. This article sheds light on the importance of security by design, emphasizing multiple layers of security when implementing industrial VCs.

- Recent technological developments, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, edge, and cloud computing, have paved the way in transforming traditional healthcare systems into smart healthcare (SHC) systems. SHC escalates healthcare management with increased efficiency, convenience, and personalization, via use of wearable devices and connectivity, to access information with rapid responses. Wearable devices are equipped with multiple sensors to identify a person's movements. The unlabeled data acquired from these sensors are directly trained in the cloud servers, which require vast memory and high computational costs. To overcome this limitation in SHC, we propose a federated learning-based person movement identification (FL-PMI). The deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework is leveraged in FL-PMI for auto-labeling the unlabeled data. The data are then trained using federated learning (FL), in which the edge servers allow the parameters alone to pass on the cloud, rather than passing vast amounts of sensor data. Finally, the bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) in FL-PMI classifies the data for various processes associated with the SHC. The simulation results proved the efficiency of FL-PMI, with 99.67% accuracy scores, minimized memory usage and computational costs, and reduced transmission data by 36.73%.

- In the undertaken study, we have used a customized dataset termed "Cardiac-200'' and the benchmark dataset ``PhysioNet.'' which contains 1500 heartbeat acoustic event samples (without augmentation) and 1950 samples (with augmentation) heartbeat acoustic events such as normal, murmur, extrasystole, artifact, and other unlabeled heartbeat acoustic events. The primary reason for designing a customized dataset, "cardiac-200,'' is to balance the total number of samples into categories such as normal and abnormal heartbeat acoustic events. The average duration of the recorded heartbeat acoustic events is 10-12 s. In the undertaken study, we have analyzed and evaluated various heartbeat acoustic events using audio processing libraries such as Chromagram, Chroma-cq, Chroma-short-time Fourier transform (STFT), Chroma-cqt, and Chroma-cens to extract more information from the recorded heartbeat sound signals. The noise removal process has been carried out using local binary pattern (LBP) methodology. The noise-robust heartbeat acoustic images are classified using long short-term memory (LSTM)-convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), LSTM, Bi-LSTM, CNN, K-means Clustering, and support vector machine (SVM) methods. The obtained results have shown that the proposed InfusedHeart Framework had outclassed all the other customized machine learning and deep learning approaches such as RNN, LSTM, Bi-LSTM, CNN, K-means Clustering, and SVM-based classification methodologies. The proposed Knowledge-infused Learning Framework has achieved an accuracy of 89.36% (without augmentation), 93.38% (with augmentation), and a standard deviation of 10.64 (without augmentation), and 6.62 (with augmentation). Furthermore, the proposed framework has been tested for various signal-to-noise ratio conditions such as SignaltoNoiseRatio0, SignaltoNoiseRatio3, SignaltoNoiseRatio6, SignaltoNoiseRatio9, SignaltoNoiseRatio12, SignaltoNoiseRatio15, and SignaltoNoiseRatio18. In the end, we have shown a detailed comparison of texture and without texture approaches and have discussed future enhancements and prospective ways for future directions.

- Cybercriminals use domain generation algorithms (DGAs) to prevent their servers from being potentially blacklisted or shut down. Existing reverse engineering techniques for DGA detection is labor intensive, extremely time-consuming, prone to human errors, and have significant limitations. Hence, an automated real-time technique with a high detection rate is warranted in such applications. In this article, we present a novel technique to detect randomly generated domain names and domain name system (DNS) homograph attacks without the need for any reverse engineering or using nonexistent domain (NXDomain) inspection using deep learning. We provide an extensive evaluation of our model over four large, real-world, publicly available datasets. We further investigate the robustness of our model against three different adversarial attacks: DeepDGA, CharBot, and MaskDGA. Our evaluation demonstrates that our method is effectively able to identify DNS homograph attacks and DGAs and also is resilient to common evading cyberattacks. Promising results show that our approach provides a more effective detection rate with an accuracy of 0.99. Additionally, the performance of our model is compared against the most popular deep learning architectures. Our findings highlight the essential need for more robust detection models to counter adversarial learning.

- Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) have gained rapid momentum over the past decade with applications spanning from environmental monitoring and exploration, defence applications, etc. The traditional IoUT systems use machine learning (ML) approaches which cater the needs of reliability, efficiency and timeliness. However, an extensive review of the various studies conducted highlight the significance of data privacy and security in IoUT frameworks as a predominant factor in achieving desired outcomes in mission critical applications. Federated learning (FL) is a secured, decentralized framework which is a recent development in ML, that can help in fulfilling the challenges faced by conventional ML approaches in IoUT. This article presents an overview of the various applications of FL in IoUT, its challenges, open issues and indicates direction of future research prospects.

- Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic eye disease and a common complication among the world's population. Evaporation of moisture from tear film or a decrease in tear production leads to an unstable tear film which causes DED. The tear film breakup time (TBUT) test is a common clinical test used to diagnose DED. In this test, DED is diagnosed by measuring the time at which the first breakup pattern appears on the tear film. TBUT test is subjective, labour-intensive and time-consuming. These weaknesses make a computer-aided diagnosis of DED highly desirable. The existing computer-aided DED detection techniques use expensive instruments for image acquisition which may not be available in all eye clinics. Moreover, among these techniques, TBUT-based DED detection techniques are limited to finding only tear film breakup area/time and do not identify the severity of DED, which can essentially be helpful to ophthalmologists in prescribing the right treatment. Additionally, a few challenges in developing a DED detection approach are less illuminated video, constant blinking of eyes in the videos, blurred video, and lack of public datasets. This paper presents a novel TBUT-based DED detection approach that detects the presence/absence of DED from TBUT video. In addition, the proposed approach accurately identifies the severity level of DED and further categorizes it as normal, moderate or severe based on the TBUT. The proposed approach exhibits high performance in classifying TBUT frames, detecting DED, and severity grading of TBUT video with an accuracy of 83%. Also, the correlation computed between the proposed approach and the Ophthalmologist's opinion is 90%, which reflects the noteworthy contribution of our proposed approach.
