“…The US department of justice has divided cybercrime into three main categories. The first category focuses on the device itself, the second attacks are those used as a weapon against an organization, and the third type is those attacks where a computer is an accessory to the crime [6].…”

“…Cyberattacks can also be achieved in several ways. Some standard methods of achieving attacks include DoS attacks, phishing attacks, identity theft, software piracy, and cyber espionage, among others [6].

Internet usage has increased quickly, particularly in the previous decade. With the widespread use of the internet, cybercrime is growing at an alarming rate in our daily lives. However, with the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), businesses are concentrating more on preventing cybercrime. AI is becoming an essential component of every business, affecting individuals worldwide. Cybercrime is one of the most prominent domains where AI has begun demonstrating valuable inputs. As a result, AI is being deployed as the first line of defense in most firms' systems. Because AI can detect new assaults faster than humans, it is the best alternative for constructing better protection against cybercrime. AI technologies also offer more significant potential in the development of such technology. This paper discusses recent cyber intrusions and how the AI-enabled industry is preparing to defend itself in the long run.

This paper discusses possible technical, economical and geopolitical consequences of the new energy scenario. We analyze the net zero emissions global race with an emphasis on the role renewable energies will play in this phenomenon and COP26's recent decisions on climate and energy transition. Using semiquantitative analysis method, the technological driving forces for future energy scenarios have been extrapolated. The technological developments and future scenarios regarding renewable energies are discussed comparing two different driving forces. Furthermore, there will be the discussion of possible geopolitical consequences due to fossil fuels trade depletion during energetic transition. Possible related consequences for MENA countries are investigated. In the last part there will be legal background analysis for electricity demand and renewable sources shift combined with techno-economical examples. Finally, considering all the contents, we drive our conclusions.This review comes from a team group presented during "GEM 2021-Green Energy Management, Towards a sustainable energy transition".

Salsa20 based lightweight security scheme for smart meter communication in smart grid

The traditional power gird is altering dramatically to a smart power grid with the escalating development of information and communication technology (ICT). Among thousands of electronic devices connected to the grid through communication network, smart meter (SM) is the core networking device. The consolidation of ICT to the electronic devices centered on SM open loophole for the adversaries to launch cyber-attack. Therefore, for protecting the network from the adversaries it is required to design lightweight security mechanism for SM, as conventional cryptography schemes poses extensive computational cost, processing delay and overhead which is not suitable to be used in SM. In this paper, we have proposed a security mechanism consolidating elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and Salsa20 stream cipher algorithm to ensure security of the network as well as addressing the problem of energy efficiency and lightweight security solution. We have numerically analyzed the performance of our proposed scheme in case of energy efficiency and processing time which reveals that the suggested mechanism is suitable to be used in SM as it consumes less power and requires less processing time to encrypt or decrypt.
