Advanced Phishing Detection in Ethereum Blockchain Transactions Using Machine Learning Models

Deceptive phishing attacks greatly endanger blockchain security, tricking miners into adding harmful blocks to the chain. Current methods of detection and agreement protocols are frequently not enough, especially if authorized miners accidentally include these blocks. Despite the potential for improving detection capabilities, the adoption of zero-trust policies is still restricted. This paper

A (k,n)-Secret Image Sharing With Steganography Using Generalized Tent Map

Secret Image Sharing (SIS) transfers an image to mutually suspicious receivers as n meaningless shares, where k or more shares must be present to recover the secret. This paper proposes a (k, n)-SIS system for any image type using polynomial interpolation based on Lagrange polynomials, where the generated shares are of size 1/k of the secret image size. A full encryption system, consisting of

Smart Automotive Diagnostic and Performance Analysis Using Blockchain Technology

The automotive industry currently is seeking to increase remote connectivity to a vehicle, which creates a high demand to implement a secure way of connecting vehicles, as well as verifying and storing their data in a trusted way. Furthermore, much information must be leaked in order to correctly diagnose the vehicle and determine when or how to remotely update it. In this context, we propose a
