The prime focus on the deliberations related to Industry 5.0 lies in creativity, efficiency and resilience for adapting various organic components such as accurate decisions, customized demands in consumer electronics with promising/sustainable solutions. This transformation and paradigm shift inside the Industry 5.0 frame can be comprehensively understood by integrating the factors related to human values with the cutting-edge technologies of consumer electronics for compatibility with the issue of sustainable development. The present work proposes an integrated approach for extensive study with a set of criteria and possible Industry 5.0 enablers in consumer electronics using a novel decision-making approach. The approach comprises of T-spherical fuzzy information containment/processing through an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and then utilizing the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) sequentially to obtain the necessary weights of selected criteria. Further, the obtained weights from AHP would be used in WASPAS for the computational assessment while finding the prioritization/ranking of industry 5.0 enablers. The results with the sensitivity analysis validate the robustness-cum-resilience of the proposed integrated approach with standard managerial implications and the findings take care of cognitive in the human socio-technical environment. The regulated adoption of Industry 5.0 enablers would help consumer electronics manufacturers in finding optimized solutions.

We know that the importance, need and utility of EHR (Electronic Health Record) system is increasing rapidly in the modern world. The developed countries like USA, Canada has adopted this system years ago but still they are facing security issues in that system. The situation is very poor for developing countries like India where data breaching news are very common in EHR system. One can imagine the situation that Indian government is accepting data breaching cases with associated authentication problems and helpless to develop secure EHR system. EHR information is very sensitive and communication over insecure wireless communication channels increases the vulnerability. Here we are going to propose an authenticated key agreement protocol among three users (doctor, hospital and patient) using conjugacy search problem (CSP) and braid decomposition problem (BDP). We discuss the required security analysis of the protocol and prove that the proposed protocol passes the security parameters assuming that the BDP and CSP are hard in braid groups.

All of us know that authentication and key agreement are the two cryptographic services very important for data communication. People use online methods for information exchange using various wireless communication channels. Intruders want to steal sensitive useful information and they use different cryptanalysis ways for that. Quantum computing methods also produces danger for all the existing protocols and algorithms. So at this point of time, it is essential that researchers find new and innovative protocols for data communication in order to surprise intruders. In this paper we present three party key sharing protocol and its correctness involving polynomial rings.

The security of data communication is very important in all aspects. V. Shukla et al. had proposed a secure sequential coding method. They have shown the results for text secret messages only. In this paper, firstly we extend their scheme by showing the results for image secret messages. Secondly, we upgrade their scheme by proposing the similar method by using random encoding. Random encoding enhances the level of security. A separate section is provided for security analysis and associated advantages.

Hash functions are used for data integrity and authentication but unfortunately they suffer with man in the middle attack problem. An intruder who has command over the communication channel can send an altered message along with its hash and pretends to be the authentic sender. Hash based authentication methods are subject to length based attacks also. So these problems are applicable to all those procedures which involve hash based authentication and routing protocols are one such example because routing protocols use MD5 authentication which is vulnerable in various aspects. So keeping these problems in mind, in this paper, we present a new HMAC implementation method which is a solution of these problems.
