The use of encryption is essential to protect sensitive data, but it often poses challenges when it comes to locating and retrieving information without decryption. Searchable encryption provides an effective mechanism that achieves secure search over encrypted data. In this paper a new approach to address the fine-grained search and to protect sensitive data, Blockchain Assisted ciphertext policy decentralized attribute-based encryption (BA-CP-DABE) in cloud has been developed. The CP-DABE is employed to manage data access, secure key generation, while the immutability of blockchain ensures the confidentiality of ciphertext. By leveraging searchable encryption, it becomes possible to securely search encrypted data stored on the blockchain. Keywords are encrypted using attribute-based encryption and stored on a remote server, along with the corresponding ciphertext in the blockchain. One of the significant challenges in this approach is the assumptions-based technique i.e., bilinear mapping, which involves keyword ciphertext and trapdoor security. However, through extensive numerical experiments, the system has demonstrated its ability to generate key and trapdoor structures, as well as effectively find keywords within the encrypted data.

The thermosolutal instability of double-diffusive convection in an inclined fluid-saturated porous layer with a concentration-based internal heat source is investigated. The linear instability of small-amplitude perturbations to the system is analyzed with respect to transverse and longitudinal rolls. The resultant eigenvalue problem is solved numerically utilizing the Chebyshev tau method. It is shown that an increasing inclination angle causes a strong stabilization in the transverse rolls irrespective of the internal heat source or vertical solutal Rayleigh number. Furthermore, substantial qualitative changes are demonstrated in the linear instability thresholds with variations in the inclination angle and concentration-based heat source.
Linear and nonlinear stability analyses of Hadley–Prats flow in a horizontal fluid-saturated porous medium with a heat source are performed. The results indicate that, in the linear case, an increase in the horizontal thermal Rayleigh number is stabilizing for both positive and negative values of mass flow. In the nonlinear case, a destabilizing effect is identified at higher mass flow rates. An increase in the heat source has a destabilizing effect. Qualitative changes appear in Rz as the mass flow moves from negative to positive for different internal heat sources.
The influence of cross diffusions, Hall and Ion slip of a dissipative magnetized micropolar fluid flow through an infinite concentric rotating vertical cylinders were investigated in addition to the first order chemical reaction. Cylinders are taken into account for Isothermal (constant temperature wall condition) and mixed gradient condition at inner cylinder, while convection cooling and constant wall concentration condition is taken at outer cylinder. The governing equations in cylindrical polar coordinates are coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and are solved numerically with help of Shooting method with fourth order Runge Kutta method. A parametric study illustrating the influence of the emerging parameters on flow, heat and mass transfer components as well as on Skin Friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number through graphical illustrations.
