Blockchain based Attack Detection on Machine Learning Algorithms for IoT based E-Health Applications

The application of machine learning (ML) algorithms are massively scaling-up due to rapid digitization and emergence of new tecnologies like Internet of Things (IoT). In today's digital era, we can find ML algorithms being applied in the areas of healthcare, IoT, engineering, finance and so on. However, all these algorithms need to be trained in order to predict/solve a particular problem. There is high possibility of tampering the training datasets and produce biased results. Hence, in this article, we have proposed blockchain based solution to secure the datasets generated from IoT devices for E-Health applications. The proposed blockchain based solution uses using private cloud to tackle the aforementioned issue. For evaluation, we have developed a system that can be used by dataset owners to secure their data.

Multiclass Model for Agriculture development using Multivariate Statistical method

Mahalanobis taguchi system (MTS) is a multi-variate statistical method extensively used for feature selection and binary classification problems. The calculation of orthogonal array and signal-to-noise ratio in MTS makes the algorithm complicated when more number of factors are involved in the classification problem. Also the decision is based on the accuracy of normal and abnormal observations of the dataset. In this paper, a multiclass model using Improved Mahalanobis Taguchi System (IMTS) is proposed based on normal observations and Mahalanobis distance for agriculture development. Twenty-six input factors relevant to crop cultivation have been identified and clustered into six main factors for the development of the model. The multiclass model is developed with the consideration of the relative importance of the factors. An objective function is defined for the classification of three crops, namely paddy, sugarcane and groundnut. The classification results are verified against the results obtained from the agriculture experts working in the field. The proposed classifier provides 100% accuracy, recall, precision and 0% error rate when compared with other traditional classifier models.

A Review on Cyber Crimes on the Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly becoming universal. The success of IoT cannot be ignored in the scenario today, along with its attacks and threats on IoT devices and facilities are also increasing day by day. Cyber attacks become a part of IoT and affecting the life and society of users, so steps must be taken to defend cyber seriously. Cybercrimes threaten the infrastructure of governments and businesses globally and can damage the users in innumerable ways. With the global cybercrime damages predicted to cost up to 6 trillion dollars annually on the global economy by cyber crime. Estimated of 328 Million Dollar annual losses with the cyber attacks in Australia itself. Various steps are taken to slow down these attacks but unfortunately not able to achieve success properly. Therefor secure IoT is the need of this time and understanding of attacks and threats in IoT structure should be studied. The reasons for cyber-attacks can be Countries having week cyber securities, Cybercriminals use new technologies to attack, Cybercrime is possible with services and other business schemes. MSP (Managed Service Providers) face different difficulties in fighting with Cyber-crime. They have to ensure that security of the customer as well as their security in terms of their servers, devices, and systems. Hence, they must use effective, fast, and easily usable antivirus and antimalware tools.
