As such the wireless sensor networks is considered an important key for data transmission between sensor node and the gateways which are connected to the internet. Of the main concerns is the lifetime of the network which is affected by the battery power of the sensor nodes. It is noteworthy that transmission energy that dominates overall energy consumption is proportional to the distance between the transmitter and receiver. Thus, there is a need to send data from source node to a destination node in the most efficient way when it comes to battery level. Although there are many algorithms that tried to perform energy efficient routing, we will propose an intelligent algorithm to further improve this routing problem. In this paper we proposed an AI algorithm to enhance the lifetime of wireless sensor netw...

In addition, rumors and incorrect medical information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic are widely shared on social media leading to people’s fear and confusion. Thus, filtering spam content is vital to reduce risks and threats. Previous studies relied on machine learning and deep learning approaches for spam classification, but these approaches have two limitations. Machine learning models require manual feature engineering, whereas deep neural networks require a high computational cost. This paper introduces a dynamic deep ensemble model for spam detection that adjusts its complexity and extracts features automatically. The proposed model utilizes convolutional and pooling layers for feature extraction along...

DNA computing is a novel method of simulating the bio-molecular structure of DNA and computing. The promise it came with was a brand-new mean of data structure and calculation which would provide a brand-new generation for storage and more importantly, security and cryptography due to the wide array of parallelism in DNA. The field of cryptography would thrive if the DNA is properly used as it can realize several security technologies such as Encryption, Steganography, Signature and Authentication through the DNA molecular as information medium. This work presents the broad idea of using the existing DNA cryptosystems which utilize the use of the four DNA symbols (A, T, C and G) that represent the four binary two-tuples (00, 01, 10, and 11). However, the obstacles facing the DNA cryptography systems stand in the influence of Turing in the corresponding theoretical computing model. Where it stands in the theoretical stage, it seems to have the ability to solve major problems regarding the security of systems through cryptography.

These sensor nodes are work on the power source Therefore the battery energy of sensor nodes has to be very carefully and cleverly utilized. Additionally, it is also very important to balance the energy consumption of the nodes so that the network stay connected and functional for a long time. Wireless communications have become very pervasive over the time period. WSNs have wide range of application such as traffic analysis, environmental monitoring, industrial process monitoring, and tactical simulations. In WSN, the data packets are transmitted from source node to destination through several intermediate nodes which forward data packets towards the next one hop neighbor. However, each node participates simultaneously in several data transmissions. Each technique of packet scheduling is used for improving the efficiency of the network based on certain performance metrics and scheduling factor and every technique having some limitations.

Traditional cryptographic systems have an extended legacy and are designed on a solid mathematical and theoretical basis. Thus, an important notion must be developed that the DNA cryptography is never to negate the tradition, but to make a bridge between existing and new technology. The strength of DNA computing will fortify the existing security systems by checking up a new probability of the hybrid cryptographic system. This paper aims to present a proposed DNA sequence enhanced Advanced Encryption standard (AES) design. The proposed algorithm has been implemented with all its features (data, algorithms operations and used functions) on DNA sequence rather than bits in mix column step. The proposed technique demonstrates the possibility of building such an intricate system of DNA sequence in a method for making it an appropriate contender for usage in the biological environment or on DNA computers. The presented algorithm keeps a security quality and strength of the standard algorithm. The assessment of the presented method is carried out using MATLAB 2016b. The experimental results show a significant improvement in terms of breaking time for different text file sizes.

Steganography is the art of hiding the existence of data in another transmission medium to get secret communication. There are several challenges facing the process of data hiding in images, such as embedding capacity, image quality, security, and computational complexity. In order to handle these challenges, this paper brings out a new data hiding system for true color images. The proposed system combines the merits of imperceptibility feature of LSB technique working in spatial domain with robust embedding policy based on salient features guided by human visual perception extracted from transform domain. The system translates the images into HSV color space that has the ability to isolate chromatic and achromatic components with the aim of increasing hiding quality. To improve security of embedding locations, the system uses secret-key for wavelet decomposition. In our ca...

Our approach consists of four phases are: (1) pre-processing, (2) Image transforms, (3) Vector Scan and (4) Hybrid compression. In preprocessing phase, resized the image into matrix 8x8 and converting to grey scale image. Image transformation phase, we use SWT to transform the image which remove the redundancy in image. In vector scan we convert from 2-dimensional matrix into 1-dimensional matrix by using zigzag scan. In hybrid compression we use Vector quantization by BPNN and LZW lossless techniques. Our Datasets collects from standard images in image compression. Our results give high compression ratio than other techniques used in image compressions with high elapsed time than other techniques, so we enhance the performance over elapsed time.

In other words, using data compression. Image compression is a critical task in image processing, the use of discrete shearlet and improved image compression and quality. With the event within the field of networking and within the process of sending and receiving files, we would have liked effective techniques for compression because the raw images required large amounts of disc space to effect during transportation and storage operations.
