Enhancing industrial cybersecurity via IoT device-trusted remote attestation framework with zero trust architecture in brewery operations

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp720-730
Muhammad Salman , Alan Budiyanto
The rapid expansion of industrial internet of things (IIoT) adoption in Industry 4.0 has improved automation and real-time control yet simultaneously increased security risks in operational technology (OT) environments, where device integrity and system reliability are critical. Existing attestation approaches such as SAFEHIVE, SEDA, CRA, and ERASMUS provide scalable verification capabilities but still lack continuous hardware-rooted validation and adaptive access control required for real-time industrial systems. To address this gap, this study proposes a hybrid cybersecurity framework that integrates IoT device-trusted remote attestation (ID-TRA) based on trusted platform module (TPM) with zero trust architecture (ZTA) to ensure continuous device trustworthiness in brewery operations. The framework was implemented on an industrial testbed with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), edge devices, and industrial switches, and it was evaluated through measurements of attestation latency, false positive rate, communication overhead, and TPM resource utilization. Experimental results show that the framework achieves an average attestation latency of 250 ms, a false positive rate below 2%, and a communication overhead of only 1.1%, while TPM resource usage remains within acceptable bounds (62% CPU and 48 MB RAM). These outcomes demonstrate that the proposed solution can reliably detect unauthorized firmware modifications, prevent compromised devices from accessing critical network zones, and maintain compatibility with real-time control processes. Overall, the integration of ID-TRA and ZTA enhances device-level assurance and strengthens industrial cybersecurity resilience against firmware tampering, replay attacks, and unauthorized lateral movement.

Influencer marketing has emerged as a powerful strategy in today’s digital world, where social media stars can influence how people think about products. However, the rapid growth of influencers and social media users presents novel challenges for brands in identifying suitable influencers for their marketing goals. Traditional approaches that rely on popularity and follower count are no longer the primary metrics for determining an influencer’s ability to affect consumer behavior. To address this gap, this study proposed an influencer classification to enhance audience targeting and marketing effectiveness. By utilizing deep learning, specifically fine tuned bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT), influencer classification was carried out for Instagram users in Indonesia based on their post captions. The multilingual BERT model is optimized through hyperparameter tuning, including learning rate, batch size, and stop word removal variation. With an outstanding 80% accuracy, the model performs best in situations where stop words are not removed. This study on influencer classification using a fine-tuned BERT model has demonstrated the effectiveness of BERT in enhancing influencer selection. It contributes to the digital marketing domain by showcasing the potential of deep learning for social media analysis and content classification, paving the way for future data-driven marketing strategies.

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp680-689
Son Nguyen , Arthorn Luangsodsai , Pattarasinee Bhattarakosol
Smartphones increasingly rely on biometric authentication for access to financial and personal services, creating a need for palmprint recognition that is accurate, fast, and deployable on device. This paper proposes an end-to-end smartphone palmprint authentication framework that integrates guided mobile image capture, landmark-based region-of-interest (ROI) extraction, and compact embedding inference. A ResNet-18 teacher is first trained with self-supervised contrastive learning to reduce dependence on labeled biometric data, then distilled into a lightweight MobileNetV3 student for efficient mobile deployment. The learned embeddings support both on device verification and large-scale identification using an approximate nearest neighbor index (FAISS). Experiments on a public Kaggle palm dataset achieve 99.2% accuracy with a 0.15% equal error rate (EER). On an iPhone 13, the end-to-end pipeline runs in 87.0 ms with a 12.4 MB student model. For a 1 million-entry gallery, FAISS provides 32 ms query latency while maintaining 99.5% Recall@1. Limitations include evaluation under mostly controlled capture conditions and the absence of an explicit liveness or presentation attack detection (PAD) module; future work will address unconstrained testing and anti-spoofing integration.

Energy-efficient AI-enhanced secure routing for protecting IoT networks from advanced attacks

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp%p
Leelavathi R. , Vidya A.
This paper proposes artificial intelligence-enhanced secure routing (AIRS), a lightweight AI-enhanced secure routing protocol for internet of things (IoT) networks operating under advanced routing attacks. Unlike existing approaches that treat intrusion detection and routing separately, AIRS tightly integrates anomaly scoring into trust-aware routing decisions using a compact random forest model designed for constrained nodes. The anomaly detector is trained offline on simulated IoT traffic features and deployed for real-time inference during routing. Extensive Cooja simulations demonstrate that AIRS improves intrusion detection accuracy and packet delivery while reducing energy consumption compared to secure-RPL and trust-LEACH. The current validation is limited to simulation environments, and real-world testbed evaluation is left for future work.

Premature birth remains a major challenge in neonatal care, especially in resource-constrained settings, where continuous monitoring and timely intervention are limited. Most existing neonatal incubators offer limited real-time monitoring, unreliable alerting, and lack communication redundancy, potentially delaying critical responses. This paper presents a comprehensive internet of thing (IoT) enabled connected incubator with redundant communication (Wi-Fi and GSM) for real-time monitoring of physiological and environmental parameters. The system integrates sensing, processing, cloud connectivity, a mobile application, and multi-channel alerts (App notifications, SMS, voice calls, and local alarms). It was experimentally evaluated under controlled laboratory conditions. Quantitative evaluation shows a cloud transmission success rate of 99.1%, end-to-end communication latency below 1 second via Wi-Fi and 2.2 seconds via GSM, with 98% of alerts successfully delivered within 6 seconds. The proposed system provides a low-cost, reliable platform that enhances neonatal safety, supports timely clinical decisions, and is scalable for resource-constrained healthcare environments.

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp800-811
Amit Kumar , Neha Sharma , Shubham Mahajan , Seifedine Kadry
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disease, and at present there are no reliable laboratory tests for it. So how does this happen when people go to identify PD? vocal biomarkers, combined with machine learning (ML), seem to be an option for noninvasive diagnostics. In our work, we used a voice recording dataset which consisted of 26 different feature sets mined by various techniques. When using the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) method, out of all these models tested, an accuracy of 91.79% was achieved. As can be seen from its high precision, recall and F1- score, XGBoost performed very well in differentiating PD cases from non-cases. The study concludes that the application of ML, particularly XGBoost, to the diagnostic process can establish a valuable tool for early screening of PD, which will facilitate more speedy and correspondingly cost-effective clinical evaluations. This paper represents an important contribution to the rapidly developing fields of artificial intelligence-based on diagnosis of neurological diseases and digital health.

A new approach for distance vector-Hop localization algorithm improvement in wireless sensor networks

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp515-531

This article shows a new range-free localization technique based on a metaheuristic algorithm (MA) dedicated to wireless sensor network (WSN), named sequential online-grey wolf optimization-distance vector-Hop (SOGWO-DVHOP). Indeed, we use the improved GWO based on selective opposite learning to improve GWO in order to enhance the traditional DVHOP localization algorithm. In reality, we choose GWO due to its better outcomes compared to other meta-heuristics, which leads us to improve this algorithm further. In the literature, the improvement works of GWO try to reconstruct the hierarchy of GWO or improve specifically the role of omega individuals. In our contribution, we opt for opposition-based learning (OBL) to ameliorate GWO, aiming to further enhance the quality of localization made by DVHOP. On the other hand, we make an empirical comparison of DVHOP and its improved versions in terms of accuracy. The results of the simulation demonstrate that SO-GWO-DVHOP gives the best performance when we vary the anchor ratio and the density of nodes.

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp589-600
Muhammad Anwar Ahmad , Norhaida Mohd Suaib , Ajune Wanis Ismail
Depth estimation involves capturing the depth information of a scene in the form of depth data. This depth information can be applied in computer vision tasks to enhance perception and comprehension. In handheld augmented reality (AR), depth estimation refers to the capability of a handheld device to estimate the depth or distance of objects in the real world based on input from its camera feed. Currently, there is a lack of work that reviews on this topic. Thus, this paper reviews and discusses the technologies regarding depth estimation on handheld devices and their applications in relation to AR. We employ partially the systematic review procedure to allow more specific focus for our, broken into three main focuses. First, we discuss the methods to obtain depth data on handheld devices. Next, we discuss on the existing frameworks that enable depth estimation for handheld AR. Then, we compile and discuss the applications of depth estimation for handheld AR based on the reviewed papers. Finally, we discuss the novelties and limitations of the current research to determine the gaps in this field of research.

Hybrid AES-LEA encryption: a performance and security analysis

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp532-545
Hala Shaker Mehdy , Mohd Ezanee Rusli , Haider Kadhim Hoomod
The advanced encryption standard-lightweight encryption algorithm (AESLEA) hybrid algorithm (ALESA) addresses a critical gap in cryptographic systems by solving the inherent trade-off between high security and computational efficiency. While the AES offers robust security, its complex operations result in high latency and energy costs, making it less suitable for resource-constrained environments. Conversely, lightweight alternatives like the LEA provide high speed but potentially weaker diffusion properties. This paper proposes a novel hybrid encryption model that strategically integrates AES and LEA by replacing AES’s computationally intensive MixColumns transformation with a streamlined LEA-based operation. This solution delivers the best of both paradigms: the security strength of AES and the operational efficiency of LEA, while also demonstrating superior statistical security by passing all NIST tests with higher p-values and maintaining near-optimal entropy. The hybrid ALESA algorithm thus presents an ideal, balanced solution for applications requiring both strong security guarantees and high performance, particularly in IoT and large-scale data encryption scenarios.

Machine learning models in the enhancement of PSE in high-dimensional socioeconomic data: a review

10.11591/ijeecs.v41.i2.pp645-654
Gene Marck B. Catedrilla , Joey Aviles
This study reviews the use of machine learning (ML) techniques to improve propensity score (PS) estimation in high-dimensional socioeconomic data. Traditional logistic regression (LR) often performs poorly under nonlinear and complex covariate structures, leading to bias and model misspecification. Across the reviewed studies, ensemble methods such as random forests (RF) and gradient boosting, and deep learning models consistently achieved better covariate balance, lower bias, and greater flexibility than conventional approaches, while classification-based methods improved performance in imbalanced datasets. The review also highlights practical considerations, including calibration, transparent reporting, and integration with doubly robust estimators to strengthen causal inference. The findings show that ML-based propensity score estimation (PSE) can substantially enhance the validity and reliability of socioeconomic evaluations, provided that its implementation is carefully guided by appropriate expertise and best-practice standards.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are a frequent cause of knee instability, yet magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interpretation remains time-consuming and observer-dependent. This paper presents an automated MRI framework for ACL injury screening and severity grading using a hybrid support vector machine–artificial neural network (SVM–ANN) model. A balanced dataset of 600 sagittal knee MRI images from Hospital Taiping (normal, partial tear, complete tear) was standardized via resizing, region-of-interest cropping, contrast enhancement, noise filtering, and segmentation. Morphological and texture features were extracted and reduced using principal component analysis (PCA). The SVM performs the initial screening (injured vs. non-injured) and samples predicted as injured are passed to the artificial neural network (ANN) to classify severity. Using confusion-matrix and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) evaluation, the proposed system achieved 86.2% overall accuracy and 81.7% sensitivity, with the ANN reaching approximately 95% accuracy on injured cases forwarded for grading. A clinician usability survey indicated high acceptance (~95%), supporting the feasibility of deployment as a lightweight decision-support tool. Limitations include reliance on single sagittal slices and single-sequence data; future work will incorporate multi-slice/3D and multi-sequence MRI to improve sensitivity and generalizability.

Defect detection plays a pivotal part in the manufacturing process of semiconductors. Defects can be rooted in the product on its own, as well as the tools used to process and make the product, particularly the equipment and machinery used. Defect detection is crucial in semiconductor manufacturing, where even minor flaws can compromise product performance. Defect detection in the backend process of semiconductor manufacturing, specifically in die attach and die bonding, is critical for ensuring product quality and reliability. Die attach involves securing semiconductor chips onto substrates, while die bonding involves connecting wires to the chip. Detecting defects during these processes is vital to prevent issues such as misalignment, inadequate bonding, or contamination, which can lead to malfunctioning chips or devices. Various techniques such as visual inspection, automated optical inspection (AOI), and X-ray imaging are utilized to identify defects like cracks, voids, or irregularities in bond formation. By employing rigorous defect detection measures, manufacturers can uphold stringent quality standards and produce reliable semiconductor devices for various applications.
