Omega Joel Patria Moata , Irwansyah Saputra
This paper examines the challenges of reliably and securely predicting Botnet hosts, a crucial aspect of network security. Existing Botnet detection systems often fail to address data privacy concerns and struggle with evolving attack methods. This study proposes an innovative approach to improve the security and accuracy of Botnet host prediction by integrating deep learning with encryption. The proposed method employs encryption techniques such as data encryption standard (DES) and blum-blum-shub (BBS) to protect sensitive data in a text data set of 2,100 IP addresses, consisting of Botnet hosts and benign hosts. Several pre-processing techniques, including moving average and missing value handling, are implemented to optimize the model performance. The effectiveness of the system is evaluated using performance metrics such as F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision. Experimental results show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms existing methods in accuracy, which have not achieved the maximum accuracy per IP Host within a given time frame, while providing enhanced security through encryption on text data. The study concludes that combining deep learning with encryption on text data offers a promising solution for reliable and secure Botnet host prediction data. Future research will focus on testing larger and more diverse data sets, as well as analyzing the impact of different encryption techniques on the overall accuracy and security of the system.

10.11591/csit.v7i2.p131-140
Igor Ivanov , Svetlana Zhdanova
This paper addresses the growing challenge of ensuring trust, authenticity, and transparency in the management and verification of educational credentials within modern, digitally oriented learning ecosystems. Rapid expansion of e-learning, lifelong learning, and global mobility has intensified document fraud, revealing the limitations of traditional verification mechanisms. To respond to these systemic risks, the study proposes a socially oriented block-validation protocol integrated into a distributed blockchain environment designed specifically for educational data security. The protocol forms the core of the EduBLOCK system, developed by the authors, and introduces an innovative consensus mechanism that incorporates human-centered reputation assessments rather than computational or financial power. The approach employs fuzzy-set theory to evaluate user activity, institutional credibility, and delegate reputation, enabling a more nuanced and context-sensitive model of trust. Delegates responsible for validating blocks are selected through a dynamic, reputation-driven procedure that excludes financial contributions and subjective parameter tuning. The proposed algorithm combines cryptographic guarantees, peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, and soft-computing methods to ensure fairness, prevent manipulation, and maintain stable system functioning. Block validity is determined through open voting, requiring approval by more than two-thirds of elected delegates.

This paper presents a novel approach to enhance the dynamic performance of direct current (DC) microgrids using an artificial intelligence (AI)-tuned fractional order proportional-integral-derivative (FO-PID) controller, further optimized through an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Conventional PID controllers tend to fail when it comes to dealing with microgrid environment-related non-linearities and uncertainties, particularly under changing load and generation situations. To remedy this, the suggested approach combines AI-tuned tuning algorithms for selecting initial parameters, and then ANFIS optimization to fine-tune the FOPID gains adaptively for better control precision. The performance of the hybrid control approach is tested through MATLAB simulations on a generic DC microgrid model that includes distributed energy resources, power electronic converters, and dynamic loads. Comparative evaluation against standard PID and independent FOPID controllers verifies remarkable advantages in terms of voltage regulation, stability, and transient response in various operating conditions. Amongst the achieved outcomes, it highlights the strength of the proposed ANFIS-optimized AI-tuned FOPID controller as a smart and robust strategy for real-time control of DC microgrids.

10.11591/ijict.v15i2.pp750-758
Sheetal J. Nagar , Nikhil Gondaliya
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a diabetes related eye disorder that damages the retina. DR is among the most specific complications of diabetes. A vital challenge for automated detection systems in medical image diagnosis is to minimize the false negative rate for patients’ timely treatment. This paper presents a novel strategy employing the shifted window (SWIN) Transformer for efficiently modeling local and global visual information to address this challenge. We have proposed our work to maximize the true positive ratio and minimize the false negative ratio for the automated process of diagnosing the level of DR, so that patients with positive signs of DR can be predicted most accurately and can save vision. The results suggest that SWIN Transformer architecture, along with the contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) technique, provides a robust option for developing a reliable DR detection system. The results indicate that the proposed approach achieves 96% weighted recall across all the levels of DR detection and 97.45% validation accuracy for the eyePACS DR detection dataset, as well as 99% weighted recall across all the levels of DR detection, along with 99.26% validation accuracy for APTOS 2019 Blindness Detection dataset. Thus, this study aimed to develop a DR detection system focused on minimizing false negatives using the SWIN transformer.

The purpose of this research is to explore efficient techniques and sufficient features for organizational email classification, with a focus on identifying emails that are not beneficial for work to reduce the burden of email management. This study proposes a novel approach by comparing the performance of using email header features (Header-Only) versus full email data (Header + Body), aiming to evaluate the accuracy and processing time of widely used machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, SVM, KNN, XGBoost, and ANN. The experiment was conducted using the Enron dataset, with key features extracted from email headers such as sender and recipient addresses and from the body content. The results show that using only header information provides classification performance comparable to using full email content. In particular, models such as Random Forest, XGBoost, and LightGBM achieved accuracy exceeding 95%, while reducing processing time by up to 21.66% in the Random Forest model. It is evident that classifying emails using header-only features is both highly accurate and resource-efficient. This research offers practical guidance for organizations in developing effective email filtering systems without compromising classification quality.

10.11591/ijict.v15i2.pp839-849
Sangeetha Krishnaswamy , Arulanandam Karalagan
The rapid growth of the internet of things (IoT) has led to the development of new challenges in ensuring secure and reliable data transmission. This paper proposes a trust-based secure routing protocol (TBSRP) designed to mitigate security threats such as routing attacks in IoT networks. The core innovation lies in the dual-layer trust evaluation mechanism, which combines reputation-based trust and behavioral analysis to dynamically adjust routing decisions based on real-time performance and historical behavior of network nodes. To enhance security, the protocol incorporates an adaptive threshold mechanism that adjusts trust criteria based on observed network conditions and an anomaly detection system utilizing machine learning (ML) algorithms for real-time monitoring of node behavior. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that TBSRP outperforms existing protocols (such as Ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV), trust-based AODV (TB-AODV), energy-efficient secure routing (ESR), and Secure AODV (SEC-AODV)) in key performance metrics, including packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end delay, throughput, and routing overhead. The proposed protocol exhibits strong resilience to the increasing number of malicious nodes and varying network conditions, making it highly effective for securing IoT networks. This work contributes to the development of adaptive, scalable, and secure routing protocols for IoT environments, with the potential for further optimization through advanced ML techniques and real-world implementation.
