Nowadays, health insurance has become an essential part of people’s lives as the number of health issues increases. Healthcare emergencies can be troublesome for people who can’t afford huge expenses. Health insurance helps people cover healthcare services expenses in case of a medical emergency and provides financial backup against indebtedness risk. Health insurance and its several benefits can face many security, privacy, and fraud issues. For the past few years, fraud has been a sensitive issue in the health insurance domain as it incurs high losses for individuals, private firms, and governments. So, it is essential for national authorities and private firms to develop systems to detect fraudulent cases and payments. A high volume of health insurance data in electronic form is generated, which is highly sensitive and attracts malicious users. Motivated by these facts, we present a systematic survey for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain-enabled secure health insurance fraud detection in this paper. This paper presents a taxonomy of various security issues in health insurance. We proposed a blockchain and AI-based secure and intelligent system to detect health insurance fraud. Then a case study related to health insurance fraud is presented. Finally, the open issues and research challenges in implementing the blockchain and an AI-empowered health insurance fraud detection system is presented.

Internet-of-Vehicle (IoV) enabled Maritime Transportation Systems (MTS) communication is anticipated to support ultra-reliable and low latency, diverse quality-of-service (QoS) and large-scale connectivities. To meet such stringent demands, a cognitive ambient backscatter non-orthogonal multiple access (C-AmBC-NOMA) IoV-MTS network is proposed. We explore the reliable and secure performance of the proposed C-AmBC-NOMA IoV-MTS network with in-phase and quadrature phase imbalance (IQI) at radio-frequency (RF) front-ends and the existence of an eavesdropper. In particular, the analytical expressions on the outage probability (OP) and intercept probability (IP) are obtained after a series of calculations. For a deeper understanding, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of OPs in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, the diversity orders of OPs, and IPs in the high main-to-eavesdropper ratio (MER) regime. The results of Monte-Carlo simulation and a series of corresponding theoretical analysis show that: i) As the SNR approaches infinity, the OPs tend to be fixed non-negative values, indicating that the diversity orders of the OPs have error floors; ii) When the MER approaches infinity, the IPs of legitimate users decrease continuously, while the IP of backscatter device (BD) increases; iii) Compared with the system performance under ideal condition, the system performance is less reliable under IQI condition, but the security performance is enhanced; iv) By carefully selecting the system parameters, a trade-off can be achieved between reliability and security.

The rapid industrial growth in solar energy is gaining increasing interest in renewable power from smart grids and plants. Anomaly detection in photovoltaic (PV) systems is a demanding task. In this sense, it is vital to utilize the latest updates in machine learning technology to accurately and timely disclose different system anomalies. This paper addresses this issue by evaluating the performance of different machine learning schemes and applying them to detect anomalies on photovoltaic components. The following schemes are evaluated: AutoEncoder Long Short-Term Memory (AE-LSTM), Facebook-Prophet, and Isolation Forest. These models can identify the PV system’s healthy and abnormal actual behaviors. Our results provide clear insights to make an informed decision, especially with experimental trade-offs for such a complex solution space.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) effectively tackles several shortcomings of conventional healthcare systems. It includes medical personnel shortages, patient care quality, insufficient medical supplies, and healthcare expenditures. There are several advantages of using IoMT technology for enhanced treatment efficiency and quality, thus improving patient health. However, the frequency and magnitude of cyberattacks on IoMT are increasing at a breakneck pace. Therefore, this article proposes a cyberattack detection method for IoMT-based networks using ensemble learning and fog-cloud architecture to address security issues. The ensemble technique employs a set of long short-term memory (LSTM) networks as individual learners at the first level and stacks a decision tree on top of them to classify attack and normal events. In addition, we present a framework for deploying the proposed IoMT-based approach as Infrastructure as a Service in the cloud and Software as a Service in the fog. The proposed method is evaluated on the telemetry datasets of IoT and IIoT sensors (ToN-IoT) dataset, and the outcomes reveal that it surpasses the baseline approaches in terms of precision by 4%.

Prediction of traffic crowd movement is one of the most important component in many applications ' domains ranging from urban management to transportation schedule. The key challenge of citywide crowd flows prediction is how to model spatial and dynamic temporal correlation. However, in recent years several studies have been done, but they lack the ability to effectively and simultaneously model spatial and temporal dependencies among traffic crowd flows. To address this issue, in this article a novel spatio-temporal deep hybrid neural network proposed termed STD-Net to forecast citywide crowd traffic flows. More specifically, STD-Net contains four major branches, i.e., closeness, period volume, weekly volume, and external branches, respectively. We design a residual neural network unit for each property to depict the spatio-temporal features of traffic flows. For various branches, STD-Net provides distinct weights and then combines the outputs of four branches together. Extensive experiments on two large-scale datasets from New York bike and Beijing taxi have demonstrated that STD-Net achieves competitive performances the existing state-of-the-art prediction baselines.
