A New Cellular Architecture for Information Retrieval from Sensor Networks through Embedded Service and Security Protocols

Abstract

Substantial changes have occurred in the Information Technology (IT) sectors and with these changes, the demand for remote access to field sensor information has increased. This allows visualization, monitoring, and control through various electronic devices, such as laptops, tablets, i-Pads, PCs, and cellular phones. The smart phone is considered as a more reliable, faster and efficient device to access and monitor industrial systems and their corresponding information interfaces anywhere and anytime. This study describes the deployment of a protocol whereby industrial system information can be securely accessed by cellular phones via a Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) server. To achieve the study goals, proprietary protocol interconnectivity with non-proprietary protocols and the usage of interconnectivity services are considered in detail. They support the visualization of the SCADA system information, and the related operations through smart phones. The intelligent sensors are configured and designated to process real information via cellular phones by employing information exchange services between the proprietary protocol and non-proprietary protocols. SCADA cellular access raises the issue of security flaws. For these challenges, a cryptography-based security method is considered and deployed, and it could be considered as a part of a proprietary protocol. Subsequently, transmission flows from the smart phones through a cellular network.

RFPS: A Robust Feature Points Detection of Audio Watermarking for Against Desynchronization Attacks in Cyber Security

“…Meanwhile, due to the continuous improvement of the detection, interception and decoding capabilities of communication systems in the modern military field, the security of communication systems [1] has also been greatly challenged. Therefore, cyber security is becoming an increasingly important issue in the design of multimedia applications [2], [3]. Therefore, many encryption schemes have been proposed and obtained excellent results, such as [4].…”

Secure and privacy-preserving 3D vehicle positioning schemes for vehicular ad hoc network

“…VANETs have been widely studied [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], and there has been renewed focus on such networks due to the high horizontal positioning (i.e., 2D positioning) accuracy, but the vertical positioning accuracy is significantly lower due to satellite geometry [29]. As shown in [30], the position accuracy in GPS-based positioning system is approximately 15 m 95% of the time.…”
