As internet of things (IoT) devices play an integral role in our everyday life, it is critical to monitor the health of the IoT devices. However, fault detection in IoT is much more challenging compared with that in traditional wired networks. Traditional observing and polling are not appropriate for detecting faults in resource-constrained IoT devices. Because of the dynamic feature of IoT devices, these detection methods are inadequate for IoT fault detection. In this paper, we propose two methods that can monitor the health status of IoT devices through monitoring the network traffic of these devices. Based on the collected traffic or flow entropy, these methods can determine the health status of IoT devices by comparing captured traffic behavior with normal traffic patterns. Our measurements show that the two methods can effectively detect and identify malfunctioned or defective IoT devices.

Tracking of moving objects in a sequence of images is one of the important and functional branches of machine vision technology. Detection and tracking of a flying object with unknown features are important issues in detecting and tracking objects. This paper consists of two basic parts. The first part involves tracking multiple flying objects. At first, flying objects are detected and tracked, using the particle filter algorithm. The second part is to classify tracked objects (military or nonmilitary), based on four criteria; Size (center of mass) of objects, object speed vector, the direction of motion of objects, and thermal imagery identifies the type of tracked flying objects. To demonstrate the efficiency and the strength of the algorithm and the above system, several scenarios in different videos have been investigated that include challenges such as the number of objects (aircraft), different paths, the diverse directions of motion, different speeds and various objects. One of the most important challenges is the speed of processing and the angle of imaging.

Edge detection is a significant stage in different image processing operations like pattern recognition, feature extraction, and computer vision. Although the Canny edge detection algorithm exhibits high precision is computationally more complex contrasted to other edge detection methods. Due to the traditional Canny algorithm uses the Gaussian filter, which gives the edge detail represents blurry also its effect in filtering salt-and-pepper noise is not good. In order to resolve this problem, we utilized the median filter to maintain the details of the image and eliminate the noise. This paper presents implementing and enhance the accuracy of Canny edge detection for noisy images. Results present that this proposed method can definitely overcome noise disorders, preserve the edge useful data, and likewise enhance the edge detection precision.

Researchers are trying to find new ways of finding and pointing out Cybersecurity vulnerabilities by using innovative metrics. New theoretical proposals need to be tested in a real environment, using Cybersecurity tools applications that can validate the applicability of those in real life. This paper presents an experimental flexible environment, which can be used for the validation of several theoretical claims based on an “easy to use” architecture implemented in a cloud environment. The framework provides a much shorter time setup in the real world as well as a much better understanding based on log analysis provided by MS Azure. As a proof of concept, we have tested three different claims and provided proves of results such as screenshots and log samples.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is capable to enhance data rates over the radio channel providing enough protection against the destructions caused in the path of the signal. But the bit error rate (BER) of the systems degrades due to the presence of Carrier frequency offset (CFO). The presence of CFO results in generation of Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) which in turn results in loss of orthogonality between the sub carriers. The significance of MIMO-OFDM is due to orthogonality among the carriers which is at stake due to presence of CFO. In this paper, the performance of the MIMO–OFDM system is analysed over the Rayleigh channel for 2 and 3-array antennas under the effect of CFO with Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) diversity technique at receiver section. It is observed from simulations that the MIMO-MRC reduces the BER and improves the overall performance of the system which is very much useful to combat against the effects of CFO.

<p>In this era of universal electronic connectivity, communication is no more confined to transfer of data from one end to the other; rather it aims at secure data transfer. Communication sector has developed beyond this traditional boundary of data transfer and is now working on ways to provide data from the intended senders to the intended receivers in an unaltered form. Considering all these conditions, the data transfer needs to follow the principles of authentication, confidentiality and integrity. The former two have been addressed using digital signatures and encryption schemes respectively, while the solution to the later is the use of Message Authentication Code. This paper presents a Message Authentication Code scheme, which uses the biological characteristics represented by Deoxyribonucleic acid combined with the output of Blum Blum Shub Random Number Generator, as a secret key along with a novel hash algorithm. This Message Authentication Code structure is evaluated on the basis of National Institute of Science and Technology test suite for random numbers, avalanche criteria and network attacks. The results reveal that the proposed scheme performs well under all the criteria and thus is capable of preserving integrity; this increases its applicability in any data sensitive environment<em>.</em></p>

This paper presents a new approach to network traffic control based on the pattern theorem. In order to generate unique detection patterns for the process of traffic analysis, a self-avoiding walk algorithm is used. During data processing and analysis, the traffic patterns are adapted dynamically in real-time. The modified traffic patterns are systematically analyzed using a threat database. In this work, a threshold is set to distinguish and trigger critical levels of threats. The matching process is terminated under each of the three conditions: i pattern matching rate is up to 80%; ii pattern matching rates of at least five various threats are up to 50%; and iii pattern matching is enhanced up to 50% for each matched pattern using an implicit combination of threat coefficients. Our experimental results show that in the worst-case scenario, the true detection rate of malicious traffic is higher than 69%, and in the best situation, it would be about 95% for the same malicious traffic. Also, the precision of false detection for trusted patterns is negligible. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The aim of this chapter is to summarize and present recent findings in the field of wireless channel modeling that provide a new method for the reliable calculation of the statistical parameters of large-scale variations of the average received signal (shadow fading). This algorithm is theoretically based on a path loss estimation model that incorporates losses due to walls and floors. This has been confirmed to be the most precise mathematical tool for average signal strength prediction for various frequencies of interest and propagation environments. The total path loss is estimated as a sum of two independent attenuation processes: free space loss and losses due to obstacles. This solution allows for a direct and reliable calculation of the deviation of the fluctuations of the average received signal in an obstacle-dense environment.
