Physical layer security offers an efficient means to decrease the risk of confidential information leakage through wiretap links. In this paper, we address the physical-layer security in a cooperative wireless subnetwork that includes a source-destination pair and multiple relays, exchanging information in the presence of a malevolent eavesdropper. Specifically, the eavesdropper is active in the network and transmits artificial noise (AN) with a multiple-antenna transmitter to confound both the relays and the destination. We first analyse the secrecy capacity of the direct source-to-destination transmission in terms of intercept probability (IP) and secrecy outage probability (SOP). A decode-and-forward incremental relaying (IR) protocol is then introduced to improve reliability and security of communications in the presence of the active eavesdropper. Within this context, and depending on the availability of channel state information, three different schemes (one optimal and two sub-optimal) are proposed to select a trusted relay to improve the achievable secrecy rate. For each one of these schemes, and for both selection and maximum ratio combining at the destination and eavesdropper, we derive new and exact closed-form expressions for the IP and SOP. Our analysis and simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed IR-based selection schemes for secure communication. They also confirm the existence of a floor phenomenon for the SOP in the absence of AN.

The 5G networks have the capability to provide high compatibility for the new applications, industries, and business models. These networks can tremendously improve the quality of life by enabling various use cases that require high data-rate, low latency, and continuous connectivity for applications pertaining to eHealth, automatic vehicles, smart cities, smart grid, and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, these applications need secure servicing as well as resource policing for effective network formations. There have been a lot of studies, which emphasized the security aspects of 5G networks while focusing only on the adaptability features of these networks. However, there is a gap in the literature which particularly needs to follow recent computing paradigms as alternative mechanisms for the enhancement of security. To cover this, a detailed description of the security for the 5G networks is presented in this article along with the discussions on the evolution of osmotic and catalytic computing-based security modules. The taxonomy on the basis of security requirements is presented, which also includes the comparison of the existing state-of-the-art solutions. This article also provides a security model, CATMOSIS, which idealizes the incorporation of security features on the basis of catalytic and osmotic computing in the 5G networks. Finally, various security challenges and open issues are discussed to emphasize the works to follow in this direction of research.
A massive current research effort focuses on combining pre-existing Intranets of Things into one Internet of Things. However, this unification is not a panacea; it will expose new attack surfaces and vectors, just as it enables new applications. We therefore urgently need a model of security in the Internet of Things. In this regard, we note that IoT descends directly from pre-existing research (in embedded Internet and pervasive intelligence), so there exist several bodies of related work: security in RFID, sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, and so on. In this paper, we survey the existing literature on RFID and WSN security, as a step to compiling all known attacks and defenses relevant to the Internet of Things.
Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative paradigm envisioned to provide massive applications that are now part of our daily lives. Millions of smart devices are deployed within complex networks to provide vibrant functionalities including communications, monitoring, and controlling of critical infrastructures. However, this massive growth of IoT devices and the corresponding huge data traffic generated at the edge of the network created additional burdens on the state-of-the-art centralized cloud computing paradigm due to the bandwidth and resources scarcity. Hence, edge computing (EC) is emerging as an innovative strategy that brings data processing and storage near to the end users, leading to what is called EC-assisted IoT. Although this paradigm provides unique features and enhanced quality of service (QoS), it also introduces huge risks in data security and privacy aspects. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on security and privacy issues in the context of EC-assisted IoT. In particular, we first present an overview of EC-assisted IoT including definitions, applications, architecture, advantages, and challenges. Second, we define security and privacy in the context of EC-assisted IoT. Then, we extensively discuss the major classifications of attacks in EC-assisted IoT and provide possible solutions and countermeasures along with the related research efforts. After that, we further classify some security and privacy issues as discussed in the literature based on security services and based on security objectives and functions. Finally, several open challenges and future research directions for secure EC-assisted IoT paradigm are also extensively provided.
NEO is one of the top public chains worldwide. We focus on its backbone consensus protocol, called delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT). The dBFT protocol has been adopted by a variety of blockchain systems such as ONT. dBFT claims to guarantee the security when no more than $f = lfloor frac{n}{3} rfloor$ nodes are Byzantine, where $n$ is the total number of consensus participants. However, we identify attacks to break the claimed security. In this paper, we show our results by providing a security analysis on its dBFT protocol. First, we evaluate NEOs source code and formally present the procedures of dBFT via the state machine replication (SMR) model. Next, we provide a theoretical analysis with two example attacks. These attacks break the security of dBFT with no more than $f$ nodes. Then, we provide recommendations on how to fix the system against the identified attacks. The suggested fixes have been accepted by the NEO official team. Finally, we further discuss the reasons causing such issues, the relationship with current permissioned blockchain systems, and the scope of potential influence.
In this paper, we study a X-duplex relay system with one source, one amplify-and-forward (AF) relay and one destination, where the relay is equipped with a shared antenna and two radio frequency (RF) chains used for transmission or reception. X-duplex relay can adaptively configure the connection between its RF chains and antenna to operate in either HD or FD mode, according to the instantaneous channel conditions. We first derive the distribution of the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), based on which we then analyze the outage probability, average symbol error rate (SER), and average sum rate. We also investigate the X-duplex relay with power allocation and derive the lower bound and upper bound of the corresponding outage probability. Both analytical and simulated results show that the X-duplex relay achieves a better performance over pure FD and HD schemes in terms of SER, outage probability and average sum rate, and the performance floor caused by the residual self interference can be eliminated using flexible RF chain configurations.
