“…Cryptography is necessary as data transmission is vulnerable to data attack and theft in an open channel. Adoption of EC methods have produced significant advantages in interdependent networking and distributed computing 27 . In data trading, the existing study has used Attribute‐based encryption method based on DBDH to safeguard the data trading network.…”

SummaryCloud computing is considered as the most fabulous paradigm to accommodate various kinds of user information. However, the privacy conflicts integrated with computational complexities need more hybridized resource efficiency for hassle‐free accession. For this purpose, this article presents a cloud assisted, secured and privacy preserved protocol based on the elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) and blockchain consortium. Blockchain provides an innovative approach for storing information, establishing trust, and various other transactions in an open platform. There exists no single technology as a panacea to obtain optimum privacy and security in the complex cloud environment that needs several desired characteristics. Hence, an elite integration of multiple cryptographic methods by carefully analyzing the potential harms and pitfalls has to be framed to balance the trade‐off between privacy and security. The proposed technique highlights the user privacy preservation through guaranteeing that user information is safeguarded from unauthorized use or access. In accordance with that the present study enrolled the advantages of the ECC algorithm, vectorization, and blockchain methods to rule out the limitations of state of art methods. This article attempts to provide the most required privacy with optimum key generation, encryption, and decryption time. The present study has obtained optimal outcomes and the maximum percentage reduction w.r.t the existing method in key generation time, encryption time, and decryption time is given as 14.89%, 16.67%, and 12.5%, respectively.

“…Cryptography is widely used in various applications, including online banking, e-commerce, secure communication between individuals and organizations, and in the protection of critical infrastructure systems [5], [6]. Without cryptography, sensitive information would be vulnerable to cyber-attacks and malicious activities, leading to severe consequences such as data breaches, identity theft, and financial loss [7], [8]. Therefore, cryptography is essential for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and maintaining trust in the digital world [9], [7].…”

Therefore, cryptography is essential for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and maintaining trust in the digital world [9], [7]. On the other hand, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are increasingly being utilized in edge computing environments due to their versatility, configurability, and performance advantages [10], [11].…”

“…Although ECC is widely implemented and efficient, its security is reliant on the complexity of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, which can be solved by quantum computers employing Shor's algorithm. To ensure long-term security, researchers have actively explored and developed PQC schemes that offer robust protection against the threats posed by quantum computing [7]. Kyber, focusing on key exchange protocols, and Dilithium, specializing in digital signatures, exemplify such schemes.…”

This paper presents three approaches for the implementation of Optimal Ate pairing based on Jacobean coordinates, over Barreto-Naehrig curves, targeting the 128 bits security level, in Genesys board. The first approach is a fully software implementation using MicroBlaze processor. The second approach is software/hardware implementation, in which the most useful operations in \({\varvec{F}}_{\varvec{p}}\) and \({\varvec{F}}_{{\varvec{p}}^{2}}\) are coded as intellectual property cores around the Microblaze. The third approach is based on the second in which we exploit the parallelism that exists to compute Optimal Ate pairing. The integration of multi-MicroBlaze processor in single architecture allows not only the flexibility of the overall system but also the parallelism to speed up pairing. Various techniques and parameters are used and combined to compute Optimal Ate in efficient way, namely: Montgomery modular multiplication, Karatsuba method, Jacobean coordinate, Complex method for squaring, Sparse multiplication, squaring in the cyclotomic subgroup \({\varvec{G}}_{\varvec{\varphi }6}\left({\varvec{F}}_{{\varvec{p}}^{12}}\right)\) and addition chain method. Our flexible and parallel systems are dedicated for restricted environment resources with a reasonable execution time.

“…Several software and hardware solutions have been proposed and implemented in the industry to increase the resiliency of the SCADA system to cyberattacks. One of them is zero-trust network architecture [27] with software-based approaches, such as the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) [28]. Hardware-based solutions have also been proposed, including using a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to create a trusted chain for IoT devices and enhance the security of SCADA and automation systems [29,30].…”

Stealthy Cyberattacks Detection Based on Control Performance Assessment Methods for the Air Conditioning Industrial Installation

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper aims to study the workflow of the detection centre of stealthy attacks on industrial installations that generate an increase in energy consumption. Such long-lasting, undetected attacks on industrial facilities make production more expensive and less competitive or damage the installation in the long term. We present the concept of the remote detection system of cyberattacks directed at maliciously changing the controlled variable in an industrial process air conditioning system. The monitored signals are gathered at the PLC-controlled installation and sent to the remote detection system, where the discrepancies of signals are analysed based on the Control Performance Assessment indices. The results of performed tests prove the legitimacy of the adopted approach.
