Chaotic systems, while promising for encryption, often suffer from degradation in their chaotic properties when implemented on computers with finite precision. Previous studies have primarily aimed to mitigate this issue, with limited consideration of harnessing finite-precision errors as a potential source of randomness. In this study, we propose an innovative encryption method that leverages finite-precision errors within chaotic systems. The algorithm generates a keystream based on lower bound error …

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standard inter-domain routing protocol for the Internet that conveys network layer reachability information and establishes routes to different destinations. The BGP protocol exhibits security design defects, such as an unconditional trust mechanism and the default acceptance of BGP route announcements from peers by BGP neighboring nodes, easily triggering prefix hijacking, path forgery, route leakage, and other BGP security threats. Meanwhile, the traditional BGP security mechanism, relying on a public key infrastructure, faces issues like a single point of failure and a single point of trust. The decentralization, anti-tampering, and traceability advantages of blockchain offer …

In this work, we consider a covert communication scenario, where a transmitter Alice communicates to a receiver Bob with the aid of a probabilistic and uninformed jammer against an adversary warden's detection. The transmission status and power of the jammer are random and follow some priori probabilities. We first analyze the warden's detection performance as a function of the jammer's transmission probability, transmit power distribution, and Alice's transmit power. We then maximize the covert throughput from Alice to Bob subject to a covertness constraint, by designing the covert communication strategies from three different perspectives: Alice's perspective, the jammer's perspective, and …

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a promising technology for future 6G communications and has been used to enhance secrecy performance. However, the performance improvement is restricted by the 'double fading' effect of the reflection channel link. To address this issue, we introduce an active RIS design, where the reflecting elements of RIS not only adjust the phase shift but also amplify the reflected signal through the amplifier integrated into its elements. To obtain a satisfactory solution to the non-convex problem resulting from this design, the penalty dual decomposition based alternating gradient projection (PDDAPG) method is proposed. We compare the proposed …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
There are various security-critical decisions routinely made, on the basis of information provided by peers: routing messages, user reports, sensor data, navigational information, blockchain updates, etc. Jury theorems were proposed in sociology to make decisions based on information from peers, which assume peers may be mistaken with some probability. We focus on attackers in a system, which manifest as peers that strategically report fake information to manipulate decision making. We define the property of robustness: a lower bound probability of deciding correctly, regardless of what information attackers provide. When peers are independently selected, we propose an optimal, robust decision mechanism …

Reinforcement Learning-Based Constrained Optimal Control Of Strict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems: Application To Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Behzad Farzanegan, S. Jagannathan
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper addresses a constrained neural network (NN)-based optimal tracking scheme for a class of uncertain nonlinear discrete-time systems in strict-feedback form by using a control barrier function (CBF). First, a modified barrier-type cost function is introduced for each subsystem, guiding the actual system trajectory toward the safe set or desired trajectory while avoiding unwanted sets. To address the tracking problem, an augmented system is employed to convert the time-varying optimal tracking to a time-invariant optimal regulation. Then, an actor-critic framework is employed with the backstepping technique to obtain both virtual and actual optimal control policies for each subsystem to …

Comparison Of Classification Methodologies Using Convolutional Neural Networks In A Dataset Of Plant Leaf Diseases., Ruairi O’Donohoe
ICT
This project investigates the impact of classification methodology selection on the performance of four Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models applied to a multi-label image dataset. The dataset consists of plant leaf images with one or more diseases. Two classification methodologies—multi-label and multi-class—are compared based on their model performance metrics. It was hypothesised that multi-label classification would perform better, but the results show that although multi-label models performed better for Loss and Accuracy metrics, they underperformed in terms of the F1 score, which is considered a more appropriate metric for this task. This surprising result refutes the initial hypothesis. Transfer learning …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease in the elderly. This disease has no cure, but assessing these motor symptoms will help slow down that progression. Inertial sensing-based wearable devices (ISWDs) such as mobile phones and smartwatches have been widely employed to analyse the condition of PD patients. However, most studies purely focused on a single activity or symptom, which may ignore the correlation between activities and complementary characteristics. In this paper, a novel technical pipeline is proposed for fine-grained classification of PD severity grades, which identify the most representative activities. We also propose a multi-activities combination scheme based …

ในกระบวนการพัฒนาซอฟต์แวร์แบบแอไจล์ ยูสเซอร์สตอรีเป็นองค์ประกอบสำคัญที่สะท้อนความต้องการของผู้ใช้ แต่หากยูสเซอร์สตอรีมีคุณภาพไม่เพียงพอ อาจก่อให้เกิดความเสี่ยงที่ส่งผลกระทบต่อความสำเร็จของโครงการอย่างมีนัยสำคัญ ดังนั้นงานวิจัยนี้จึงนำเสนอแบบจำลองการจัดลำดับความสำคัญของความเสี่ยงของยูสเซอร์สตอรีโดยใช้ตรรกะคลุมเครือ เพื่อช่วยให้สามารถจัดการกับความไม่แน่นอนในการตัดสินใจได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ โดยเริ่มจากการนิยามความเสี่ยงของยูสเซอร์สตอรีจำนวน 12 ประเภท พร้อมทั้งกำหนดเกณฑ์การประเมินใน 2 ด้าน ได้แก่ ด้านความพยายามในการบริหารจัดการ และด้านข้อจำกัดในการบริหารจัดการ จากนั้นจึงประยุกต์ใช้ตรรกะคลุมเครือร่วมกับตัวแปรภาษาและฟังก์ชันความเป็นสมาชิกในการคำนวณค่าคะแนนความเสี่ยง และจัดลำดับความสำคัญผ่านแบบจำลองที่พัฒนาขึ้น ผลการประเมินการใช้งานแบบจำลองกับผู้มีประสบการณ์ในโครงการแอไจล์พบว่า แบบจำลองสามารถช่วยในการจำแนกความเสี่ยงได้อย่างเหมาะสมและมีความสอดคล้องกับความคิดเห็นของผู้ประเมิน ซึ่งผลการประเมินสะท้อนถึงความสมเหตุสมผลของแบบจำลองและความสามารถในการประยุกต์ใช้จริง ดังนั้นงานวิจัยนี้จึงเป็นประโยชน์ต่อทีมพัฒนาในการประเมินและจัดลำดับความเสี่ยงของยูสเซอร์สตอรีได้อย่างเป็นระบบ และเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพในการบริหารความเสี่ยงในโครงการพัฒนาซอฟต์แวร์แบบแอไจล์ได้ดียิ่งขึ้น
