  • Correspondence security between IoT devices is a significant concern, and the blockchain makes the latest difference by reducing this matter. In the blockchain idea, the larger part or even all organization hubs check the legitimacy and precision of traded information before tolerating and recording them, regardless of whether this information is identified with monetary exchanges or estimations of a sensor or a confirmation message. In assessing the legitimacy of a traded information, hubs should agree to play out an uncommon activity. The chance to enter and record exchanges and problematic cooperation with the framework is fundamentally decreased. To share and access the executives of IoT devices data with disseminated demeanour, another confirmation convention dependent on block-chain is proposed, and it is guaranteed that this convention fulfils client protection saving and security. This paper highlights the recent approaches conducted by other researchers to secure the Internet of Things environments using blockchain. These approaches are studied and compared with each other to present their features and disadvantages.

  • The security threat types in underwater communication networks environment are almost the same as the terrestrial, but the security of mechanisms the terrestrial RF-based networks environment can not be directly applied due to not only the limited resources of each node but also unsafe channel such as low propagation delay, high bit error rate etc. Nevertheless there has not been much research on the security of underwater acoustic communication networks. Therefore, in this paper analyzes the differences between the terrestrial communication networks and underwater acoustic communication networks, and identifies issues that are the starting points of underwater communication networks security research.

  • Security vulnerability quantification is the method that identify potential vulnerabilities by scoring vulnerabilities themselves and their countermeasures. However, due to the structural feature of smart grid system, it is difficult to apply existing security threat evaluation schemes. In this paper, we propose a network model to evaluate smartgrid security threat for AMI and derive attack scenarios. Additionally, we show that the result of security threat evaluation for proposed network model and attack scenario by applying MTTC scheme.

  • Current internet has evolved from the sharing and efficiency aspects of information, it is still vulnerable to the fact that the Internet is not secure in terms of security and is not safe to secure of security mechanism. Repeating patches on continuous hacking are continuously demanding additional resources for network or system equipment, and consequently the costs continue to increase. Businesses and individuals alike are speeding up the damage caused by crime like of ransomware, not jusy simple attacks, and businesses and individuals need to respond to cyber security. In addition, the ongoing introduce of security device, and separate of networks for secure transmission of contents in the existing TCP/IP system, but it is still lacking in security. To complement the security implications of this existing TCP/IP Internet Protocol, we intend to propose a Secure Contents Transport System (SCTS) on the network using the CCN concept.

  • This is an era of technology and with the rapid growth of the Internet, networks are continuously growing. Companies are shifting from simple to more complex networks. Since networks are responsible to transmit huge data which is often sensitive and a point of concern for hackers. Despite the sizes of the networks, all networks are subject to several threats. Companies deploy several security measures to protect their networks from unauthorized access. These security measures are implemented from the device level to the network level. Every security layer adds more to the security of the company's network. Firewalls are the piece of software that provides internal and external security of the network. Firewalls aim to enhance the device level as well as network-level security. This paper aims to investigate the different types of firewalls, their architecture, and vulnerabilities of the firewall. This paper improves the understanding of firewall and its various types of architecture.

  • The smart cities are evolving constantly and are responsible for the current transformation of cities and countries into a completely connected network of information and technology This interconnected network of a huge number of smart devices is capable of exchanging complex information and provides tremendous support including enhanced quality of life within urban locations. Unfortunately this set-up is vulnerable to security attacks and requires the widespread ubiquitous network to authorize access through privacy and thus offer security in order to ensure civilian participation in a country. The smart network should benefit the individuals of the country by developing potential strategies to protect the smart cities and their participating entities from the unauthorized attacks. Trustworthy data sharing strategies based on the utilization of advanced technology features via smart communication network could solve some issues of privacy and security. This paper presents the challenges and issues related to protection and highlights the important aspects of securing the smart cities and its components. It also presents the role of cloud security for building a secure smart city.

  • This is an extended paper, focusing on the cost management for the organizations dealing with the crucial issues of security systems. Information Technology (IT) is an important and irreplaceable need of society and all working sector's success depends on IT to a greater extent; therefore maintaining security features is one of the most important aspects of IT. When security in the IT sector is discussed, Patch Management (P.Mgnt) has to be taken under account. P. Mgnt includes many concerns and areas to be described for IT security such as methods and problems in updating patch, methods of reducing security risks with P.Mgnt, methods of achieving economies of scale by controlling the operational costs and taking decisions in investing as and when necessary. This paper presents a general definition of Patch management, its benefits and management of working cost through theoretical models, also the paper gives methods of feeding techniques for microstrip patch antenna MPA, showing the contracting and non contracting methods.

  • The commercialization of LTE/SAE technologies has begun a new era in which data can be transmitted at remarkably high rates. The security of the LTE/SAE network, however, remains problematic. The forward security in LTE/SAE X2 handover key management can be threatened by key compromise and de-synchronization attacks as base station in public spaces can be compromised. This study was conducted to address the lack of forward key security in X2 handover key management in scenarios in which an adversary controls a legal base station. We developed the proposed X2 handover key management by changing the parameter in the renewing step and adding a verification step. We compare the security and performance of our proposal with other similar schemes. Our enhancement scheme ensures forward separation security accompanied by favorable signal and computation load performance.

  • The Internet of Medical Things (IoMTs) are to be considered an investment and an improvement to respond effectively and efficiently to patient needs, as it reduces healthcare costs, provides the timely attendance of medical responses, and increases the quality of medical treatment. However, IoMT devices face exposure from several security threats that defer in function and thus can pose a significant risk to how private and safe a patient's data is. This document works as a comprehensive review of modern approaches to achieving security within the Internet of Things. Most of the papers cited here are used been carefully selected based on how recently it has been published. The paper highlights some common attacks on IoMTs. Also, highlighting the process by which secure authentication mechanisms can be achieved on IoMTs, we present several means to detect different attacks in IoMTs
