  • Anomaly based intrusion detection using ensemble machine learning and block-chain
    Srinivasa Rao Mekala, Shaik Nazma, Kumbhagiri Nava Chaitanya, and Thota Ambica

    Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science
    <p>A major issue facing the quickly evolving technological world is the surge in security concerns, particularly for critical Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications like health care and the military. Early security attack detection is crucial for safeguarding important resources. Our research focuses on developing an anomaly-based intrusion detection system (IDS) using machine learning (ML) models. With the use of voting strategies, Bagging Ensemble, Boosting Ensemble, and Random Forest, we created a robust and long-lasting IDS. The F1 score is a crucial metric for measuring accurate predictions at the class level and serves as the focus of these ML systems. Maintaining a high F1 score in critical applications highlights the constant need for development. Make use of the latest CICIoT2023 data-set employ Hyper-ledger Fabric to create a private channel in order to bolster the security of our IDS through the usage of block-chain technology. We use block-chain's immutable record and cryptographic techniques to establish a decentralized, tamper-proof environment. Consequently, our proposed approach provides an efficient intrusion detection system that significantly enhances resource protection and alerting the user in prior with intruder information   incritical regions for Internet of Things security applications.</p>

  • Fog-Sec: Secure end-to-end communication in fog-enabled IoT network using permissioned blockchain system
    Erukala Suresh Babu, Mekala Srinivasa Rao, Gandharba Swain, A. Kousar Nikhath, and Rajesh Kaluri

    Wiley
    AbstractThe technological integration of the Internet of Things (IoT)‐Cloud paradigm has enabled intelligent linkages of things, data, processes, and people for efficient decision making without human intervention. However, it poses various challenges for IoT networks that cannot handle large amounts of operation technology (OT) data due to physical storage shortages, excessive latency, higher transfer costs, a lack of context awareness, impractical resiliency, and so on. As a result, the fog network emerged as a new computing model for providing computing capacity closer to IoT edge devices. The IoT‐Fog‐Cloud network, on the other hand, is more vulnerable to multiple security flaws, such as missing key management problems, inappropriate access control, inadequate software update mechanism, insecure configuration files and default passwords, missing communication security, and secure key exchange algorithms over unsecured channels. Therefore, these networks cannot make good security decisions, which are significantly easier to hack than to defend the fog‐enabled IoT environment. This paper proposes the cooperative flow for securing edge devices in fog‐enabled IoT networks using a permissioned blockchain system (pBCS). The proposed fog‐enabled IoT network provides efficient security solutions for key management issues, communication security, and secure key exchange mechanism using a blockchain system. To secure the fog‐based IoT network, we proposed a mechanism for identification and authentication among fog, gateway, and edge nodes that should register with the blockchain network. The fog nodes maintain the blockchain system and hold a shared smart contract for validating edge devices. The participating fog nodes serve as validators and maintain a distributed ledger/blockchain to authenticate and validate the request of the edge nodes. The network services can only be accessed by nodes that have been authenticated against the blockchain system. We implemented the proposed pBCS network using the private Ethereum 2.0 that enables secure device‐to‐device communication and demonstrated performance metrics such as throughput, transaction delay, block creation response time, communication, and computation overhead using state‐of‐the‐art techniques. Finally, we conducted a security analysis of the communication network to protect the IoT edge devices from unauthorized malicious nodes without data loss.

  • Change detection of pulmonary embolism using isomeric cluster and computer vision
    Mekala Srinivasa Rao, Sagenela Vijaya Kumar, Rambabu Pemula, and Anil Kumar Prathipati

    Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science
    <p>Visual change detection functions in X-ray analytics and computer vision attempt to divide X-ray images toward front and backside areas. There are various difficulties in change detection such as weather changes and shadows; real-time processing; intermittent object motion; lighting variation; and diverse object forms. Traditionally, this issue has been addressed via backdrop modeling methods and the creation of custom features. We present a new feature descriptor called pulmonary embolism detection using isomeric cluster (PEDIC), uses the concept of isomerism. The isomeric and cluster isomerism characteristics of the PEDIC are distinguish it from other graphs. At isomeric thetical orientations, the cluster pattern corresponds to consecutive differences in pixel intensity between the two images. Also, the clusters are oppositely orientated, and both clusters conform to a specified isomeric feature. The local area's lines and corner point information are identified and recorded using the PEDIC in several different directions. We introduced multiresolution PEDIC, which incorporates the multiresolution Gaussian filter to achieve increased resilience in the system. We expanded our research to include rotation-invariant characteristics. We also proposed inter-PEDIC and intra-PEDIC to identify motion changes in X-ray sequences, which allowed them to extract spatiotemporal characteristics.</p>

  • Ant Cat Swarm Optimization-Enabled Deep Recurrent Neural Network for Big Data Classification Based on Map Reduce Framework
    Satyala Narayana, Suresh Babu Chandanapalli, Mekala Srinivasa Rao, and Kalyanapu Srinivas

    Oxford University Press (OUP)
    Abstract The amount of data generated is increasing day by day due to the development in remote sensors, and thus it needs concern to increase the accuracy in the classification of the big data. Many classification methods are in practice; however, they limit due to many reasons like its nature for data loss, time complexity, efficiency and accuracy. This paper proposes an effective and optimal data classification approach using the proposed Ant Cat Swarm Optimization-enabled Deep Recurrent Neural Network (ACSO-enabled Deep RNN) by Map Reduce framework, which is the incorporation of Ant Lion Optimization approach and the Cat Swarm Optimization technique. To process feature selection and big data classification, Map Reduce framework is used. The feature selection is performed using Pearson correlation-based Black hole entropy fuzzy clustering. The classification in reducer part is performed using Deep RNN that is trained using a developed ACSO scheme. It classifies the big data based on the reduced dimension features to produce a satisfactory result. The proposed ACSO-based Deep RNN showed improved results with maximal specificity of 0.884, highest accuracy of 0.893, maximal sensitivity of 0.900 and the maximum threat score of 0.827 based on the Cleveland dataset.

  • Verifiable Authentication and Issuance of Academic Certificates Using Permissioned Blockchain Network
    Erukala Suresh Babu, B. K. N. Srinivasarao, Ilaiah Kavati, and Mekala Srinivasa Rao

    IGI Global
    Fake certificates pose a severe problem in today's world; they vouch for an individual's false skillset and put an organization's reputation at risk. Moreover, the existing verification process is performed in a centralized manner, often too cumbersome and time-consuming to the end-user, lacking transparency in the educational institutions' Issuance of certificates. Of-late, blockchain is a promising technology that provides transparent, secure, and reliable features, which offers solutions to the education sector. This paper provides the solution to the educational certification problem by employing the blockchain network. We proposed a permissioned blockchain network that identifies, authenticates the Issuer, adequate verification, securely shares academic records to the recipients, and stores the certificate credentials in the blockchain in a distributed manner.

    Mekala Srinivasa Rao, O. Pavan Kalyan, N. Naresh Kumar, Md. Tasleem Tabassum, and B. Srihari

    IEEE
    Classifying various music into its genre has a lot of applications in the real world. It plays an important role in several online music streaming services such as Gaana, Spotify etc. Most of the music recommender systems implement such feature. Over the past two decades music coming from various sources has been increasing at a high speed. Several musical communities are emerged based on the music genre. Therefore, in order to satisfy their requirements, the need for an automatic music genre classifier became evident. In the process of determining the genre of a music, accuracy of the prediction must be well maintained. In our project we are automatically classifying an unknown music into its genre with an effective accuracy. We are separating the linguistic content from the noise while extracting features from the set of audio files. This helps in obtaining a good accuracy of prediction. We are implementing various Machine Learning Algorithms to build our project. We considered the GTZAN dataset [4], which contains 1000 music files of 10 different genres with each file having a duration of 30 sec.

  • Analysis of hybrid fusion-neural filter approach to detect brain tumor
    Ranga SwamySirisati, Mekala Srinivasa Rao, and Srinivasulu Thonukunuri

    IEEE
    Medical Image Processing plays an essential role in human health. Many methods have played an essential role in reducing physician decision-making in diagnosis. Much caution is required and recommended, especially in cases involving the brain. Separation of tumors from normal brain cells belongs to the category of brain tumors. The dissection process can help provide the information needed for diagnosis. This process is risky due to the unusual shapes and manipulations at the border. Determining these tumors at an early stage can help provide the best treatment for patients. Typically, physicians adopt a manual method of dividing patients into patients, which leads to more time. This paper presents a well-functioning Hybrid Fusion-Neural Filter Approach (HFNF)classification system that considers various factors such as accuracy, recovery and accuracy. MRI is one of the most traditional methods for the primary diagnostic tool for brain tumors. If the tumor is malignant for successful treatment, the necessary diagnostic and treatment planning measures must be taken quickly. Physicians can make accurate decisions by applying the following procedures. The necessary treatment can be done effectively. A computer-assisted diagnostic system, MRI, can help reduce the workload of physicians.
