Certificateless cryptography can be considered as an intermediate solution to overcome the issues in traditional public key infrastructure (PKI) and identity-based public key cryptography (ID-PKC). There exist a vast number of…
In this paper, we develop a trust based security protocol based on a cross layer approach which attains confidentiality and authentication of packets in both routing and link layers of MANETs. In the first phase of the protocol, we design a…
Despite the advantages of decentralization and immutability, blockchain technology faces significant scalability and throughput limitations, which has prompted the exploration of off-chain solutions like payment channels. Adaptor signatures…
We present an identity management scheme built into the Bitcoin blockchain, allowing for identities that are as indelible as the blockchain itself. Moreover, we take advantage of Bitcoin's decentralized nature to facilitate a shared control…
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANET) are a proper subset of mobile wireless networks, where nodes are revulsive, the vehicles are armed with special electronic devices on the motherboard OBU (On Board Unit) which enables them to trasmit and…
A mobile ad hoc network is a self organized cooperative network that works without any permanent infrastructure. This infrastructure less design makes it complex compared to other wireless networks. Lot of attacks and misbehavior obstruct…
With the rapid evolution of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the boundaries and scale of the Internet are continuously expanding. Consequently, the limitations of traditional certificate-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) have…
The mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) represent a broad area of study and market interest. They provide a wide set of applications in multiple domains. In that context, the functional and non-functional monitoring of these networks is…
Nuclear monitoring must considered as high precedence against national security. Now with the increasing nuclear threats it is crucial to ensure that malicious entity never procure nuclear warheads. Which comprises the prevention of illegal…
In Bitcoin, to independently verify whether new transactions are correct or not, a type of a node called "Full Node" has to hold the whole of historical transactions. The transactions are stored in ledger called "Blockchain. " Blockchain is…
Trust Management (TM) systems for authentication are vital to the security of online interactions, which are ubiquitous in our everyday lives. Various systems, like the Web PKI (X.509) and PGP's Web of Trust are used to manage trust in this…
The advancement of portable mobile wireless devices such as smart-phones, PDA, etc., brought mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) as an extension of traditional P2P networks to provide efficient, low-cost communication among them in a cellular…
Existing permissioned blockchain systems designate a fixed and explicit group of committee nodes to run a consensus protocol that confirms the same sequence of blocks among all nodes. Unfortunately, when such a permissioned blockchain runs…
The rise of autonomous AI agents in enterprise and industrial environments introduces a critical challenge: how to securely assign, verify, and manage their identities across distributed systems. Existing identity frameworks based on API…
Current advancements in mobility of devices and also Internet of Things (IoT) have replaced the central networks by distributed infrastructure. The more a network is distributed, the more the security of infrastructure and the communication…
