“…For example, UAVs can promptly respond to earthquake assistance requests, locate missing individuals, and assist in monitoring and rescuing flood victims [175]. Furthermore, using UAV computing with AI to collect vast data from various sensors installed in the environment might assist in the forecasting and acting in natural disasters such as tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and storms [176].…”

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly being used in a high-computation paradigm enabled with smart applications in the Beyond Fifth Generation (B5G) wireless communication networks. These networks have an avenue for generating a considerable amount of heterogeneous data by the expanding number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in smart environments. However, storing and processing massive data with limited computational capability and energy availability at local nodes in the IoT network has been a significant difficulty, mainly when deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to extract discriminatory information from the massive amount of data for different tasks.Therefore, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has evolved as a promising computing paradigm leveraged with efficient technology to improve the quality of services of edge devices and network performance better than cloud computing networks, addressing challenging problems of latency and computation-intensive offloading in a UAV-assisted framework. This paper provides a comprehensive review of intelligent UAV computing technology to enable 6G networks over smart environments. We highlight the utility of UAV computing and the critical role of Federated Learning (FL) in meeting the challenges related to energy, security, task offloading, and latency of IoT data in smart environments. We present the reader with an insight into UAV computing, advantages, applications, and challenges that can provide helpful guidance for future research.

Wireless communication employs radio technology to facilitate data transmission without any fixed infrastructures. A mobile ad hoc network is an example of this data transmission technique, which comprises of devices such as smart phones, laptops and printers. Some of the key features of mobile ad hoc networks include self-creation, self-organization and also self-administration. Owing to the frequent mobility of the network nodes and the dynamic topology, mobile ad hoc networks are vulnerable to numerous security threats. For instance, the nodes are open and the links can be disconnected, leading to the degradation of network performance. To mitigate these problems, several protocols and techniques have been proposed in literature. This paper provides some detailed review of these protocols, as well as the discussion of other state of the art protocols that have been developed to cope with challenges of the legacy routing and security protocols. These protocols were established to be either proactive or reactive. In addition, it has been noted that these protocols have some merits as well as challenges that may impede their applicability. Consequently, more efficient and secure routing protocols are required for optimal network performance. Therefore, some recommendations are given towards the end of this paper on some features that ideal routing and security protocol should have.

Information is the most precious asset of any organization and assessing risk to information is a core mandate of any institutional management to ensure availability of effective controls to protect information assets. The increasing digitization of health information and the ever-changing cyber security threat environment, has led to some public health data breaches and as information security become increasingly important to the continued success for businesses, majority of organizations are searching for an appropriate security framework. Security risk assessment framework enables identification of threats and vulnerabilities. Although numerous frameworks available in the market, selection of the right framework to meet the organization’s need is a challenge due to lack of prescriptiveness, standard, inconsistencies, complexity, compliance, cost, and certifications. To address the gap, this study assessed the security of health information system and privacy risks in addition to existing frameworks and developed an enhanced framework. The study adopted a descriptive cross – sectional design and was conducted in Siaya County, in Kenya. A questionnaire was used to collect data which was analyzed and presented inform of tables, and charts. The results indicated that confidentiality of information is good (use of identifiers and passwords at 96.8% approval rate), availability of physical controls to protect authorized access at 95.2%, availability of policies stating staff responsible for protection of information confidentiality at 91.9%, availability of written policy on patient confidentiality and privacy at 74.2% and use of access privileges at 68.8%. The findings on integrity of information was poor with availability of systems to review data accuracy having 71.9% approval rate, frequency of data review at 81.2%, availability of written description of information security manager’s responsibility at 39.5%, monitoring of electronic systems to detect potential breaches at 40%, creation of audit logs to track system transactions at 54% and frequency of reviewing audit logs at 51.5%. The findings on availability of information was good (availability of inventory of computers at 69.9%), regular updates of inventory at 61.3%, updates of patient data on laptops and desktops at 68.2%, sharing of data confidentiality and security policy at 36%, and regular backups of audited logs at 51% approval rates. Regarding the assessment of existing security frameworks, it was noted that HIPAA has the following shortcomings: lacks complete valid risk analysis, not certifiable, security rule is safeguarding electronic protected health information only, the security does not regulate emails and does not require encryption, and commitment on security is verbal. On the other hand, ISO/IEC 27001 is expensive, requires specific IT budget, special expertise, and more time to apply in public hospitals. Finally, NIPP framework is expensive, and uses consequence’s assessment which is outside the scope of this study.
