Secret Key Generation Based On The Physical Layer Characteristics For Iot Networks, Abdullah Dakhlallah Alshamdayn Nov 2025

Secret Key Generation Based On The Physical Layer Characteristics For Iot Networks, Abdullah Dakhlallah Alshamdayn

Doctoral Dissertations

The rapid expansion of low-resource devices, coupled with advances in telecommunications, has significantly increased the number of connected devices and enabled the development of affordable, energy-efficient, portable, and high-performance sensors for diverse applications. However, this convenience comes with security and privacy concerns related to the reliability of hardware, software, and communication infrastructure. The extensive interconnectivity of limited-resource devices and the transmission of large data volumes pose significant security challenges in wireless networks. The future wireless technologies, such as 5G, will enable the transfer of critical data, including personal, financial, military, and industrial information, necessitating secure communication in wireless networks. Generally, …


An Envisioned And Efficient Design Of Next Generation Decentralized Iot Bot Detection Model, Ahmed Abdullah Almalki Aug 2025

An Envisioned And Efficient Design Of Next Generation Decentralized Iot Bot Detection Model, Ahmed Abdullah Almalki

Doctoral Dissertations

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) are revolutionizing critical infrastructures, but their expansion has also introduced severe cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Traditional IoT Bot Detection Systems (IBDS) struggle to scale in environments characterized by high-dimensional, large-scale, and redundant network traffic. These challenges hinder the development of reliable cloud-based intrusion detection systems. The limitations of static and rulebased methods in detecting evolving IoT botnet attacks—such as those launched by Mirai and Gafgyt—underscore the need for intelligent, adaptive approaches. To address this, the present study proposes a machine learning and deep learning-driven IoT Botnet Detection Model, validated through …


A Hybrid Data Processing, Computational Intelligence, And Complex Systems Modeling Approach For Describing And Predicting The Bitcoin Market, Oluwadamilare Akinpelu Omole Jan 2025

A Hybrid Data Processing, Computational Intelligence, And Complex Systems Modeling Approach For Describing And Predicting The Bitcoin Market, Oluwadamilare Akinpelu Omole

Doctoral Dissertations

"The Bitcoin market, like traditional financial markets, is a complex system with intricate interdependencies and nonlinear interactions among various market elements. This, coupled with the inherent uncertainty and high volatility present, makes predicting Bitcoin price movements difficult. The lack of understanding of the underlying market dynamics often results in significant losses for investors and traders. Existing studies have focused on the use of predictive models, which have not sufficiently captured the complexities of the market and cannot forecast extreme market events. This research endeavors to bridge this gap by combining data processing techniques, computational intelligence, and complex systems theory to …


A Human-Centered Framework For Oncological Healthcare System Modeling Applied To Mobile Radiation Delivery, Alex Price Jan 2024

A Human-Centered Framework For Oncological Healthcare System Modeling Applied To Mobile Radiation Delivery, Alex Price

Doctoral Dissertations

"Healthcare systems engineering is challenging due to the complexity, geographic expansiveness, inertial properties, and the heterogeneous sub-systems, with varying vested interests. Additionally, humans comprise many of the forms and functions, and are independent, with resistance and uncertainty in their decision-making that adds complexity. Human-centered systems modeling approaches are therefore needed to capture this unique aspect of a healthcare system and to enhance understanding of emergent healthcare properties. This dissertation focuses on integrating systems modeling within healthcare and emphasizes the importance of incorporating human decision-making. Moreover, the incorporation of a human-centered approach yields particularly valuable insights into the decision-making processes that …
