With the increasing growth rate of smart home devices and their interconnectivity via the Internet of Things (IoT), security threats to the communication network have become a concern. This paper proposes a learning engine for a smart home communication network that utilizes blockchain-based secure communication and a cloud-based data evaluation layer to segregate and rank data on the basis of three broad categories of Transactions (T), namely Smart T, Mod T, and Avoid T. The learning engine utilizes a neural network for the training and classification of the categories that helps the blockchain layer with improvisation in the decision-making process. The contributions of this paper include the application of a secure blockchain layer for user authentication and the generation of a ledger for the communication network; the utilization of the cloud-based data evaluation layer; the enhancement of an SI-based algorithm for training; and the utilization of a neural engine for the precise training and classification of categories. The proposed algorithm outperformed the Fused Real-Time Sequential Deep Extreme Learning Machine (RTS-DELM) system, the data fusion technique, and artificial intelligence Internet of Things technology in providing electronic information engineering and analyzing optimization schemes in terms of the computation complexity, false authentication rate, and qualitative parameters with a lower average computation complexity; in addition, it ensures a secure, efficient smart home communication network to enhance the lifestyle of human beings.

The use of IoT technology is rapidly increasing in healthcare development and smart healthcare system for fitness programs, monitoring, data analysis, etc. To improve the efficiency of monitoring, various studies have been conducted in this field to achieve improved precision. The architecture proposed herein is based on IoT integrated with a cloud system in which power absorption and accuracy are major concerns. We discuss and analyze development in this domain to improve the performance of IoT systems related to health care. Standards of communication for IoT data transmission and reception can help to understand the exact power absorption in different devices to achieve improved performance for healthcare development. We also systematically analyze the use of IoT in healthcare systems using cloud features, as well as the performance and limitations of IoT in this field. Furthermore, we discuss the design of an IoT system for efficient monitoring of various healthcare issues in elderly people and limitations of an existing system in terms of resources, power absorption and security when implemented in different devices as per requirements. Blood pressure and heartbeat monitoring in pregnant women are examples of high-intensity applications of NB-IoT (narrowband IoT), technology that supports widespread communication with a very low data cost and minimum processing complexity and battery lifespan. This article also focuses on analysis of the performance of narrowband IoT in terms of delay and throughput using single- and multinode approaches. We performed analysis using the message queuing telemetry transport protocol (MQTTP), which was found to be efficient compared to the limited application protocol (LAP) in sending information from sensors.

The wearable healthcare equipment is primarily designed to alert patients of any specific health conditions or to act as a useful tool for treatment or follow-up. With the growth of technologies and connectivity, the security of these devices has become a growing concern. The lack of security awareness amongst novice users and the risk of several intermediary attacks for accessing health information severely endangers the use of IoT-enabled healthcare systems. In this paper, a blockchain-based secure data storage system is proposed along with a user authentication and health status prediction system. Firstly, this work utilizes reversed public-private keys combined Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RP²-RSA) algorithm for providing security. Secondly, feature selection is completed by employing the correlation factor-induced salp swarm optimization algorithm (CF-SSOA). Finally, health status classification is performed using advanced weight initialization adapted SignReLU activation function-based artificial neural network (ASR-ANN) which classifies the status as normal and abnormal. Meanwhile, the abnormal measures are stored in the corresponding patient blockchain. Here, blockchain technology is used to store medical data securely for further analysis. The proposed model has achieved an accuracy of 95.893% and is validated by comparing it with other baseline techniques. On the security front, the proposed RP²-RSA attains a 96.123% security level.

Digital face approaches possess currently received awesome attention because of their huge wide variety of digital audio, and visual programs. Digitized snapshots are progressively more communicated using an un-relaxed medium together with cyberspace. Consequently, defence, clinical, medical, and exceptional supervised photographs are essentially blanketed towards trying to employ it; such controls ought to damage such choices constructed totally based on those pictures. So, to shield the originality of digital audio/visual snapshots, several approaches proposed. Such techniques incorporate traditional encoding, breakable and nominal breakable watermarking with virtual impressions which are based upon the material of image content. Over the last few decades, various holistic approaches are proposed for improving image identification and verification. In this paper, a combination of both the feature level and score level of different techniques were used. Image is one of the identities of a person which reflects its emotions, feeling, age etc. which also helps to gather an information about a person without knowing their name, caste, and age and this could be not of much importance when it is used for domestic or framing applications. To secure the originality of digital audio/visual impressions many methods come into pictures and are proposed which include digital signatures, watermarking, cryptography, and fragile depend upon face contents. The objective of this research article is to identify & verify real-time video images using feature and score levels using watermarking that will help to judge the authenticity of any images at the initial stage by extracting the features which are evaluated by following an algorithm known as Viterbi and where input data is changed initially into an embedded treat or state then the matrix is evaluated of achieved transformation and on this basis preliminary score estimation will be generated after many iterations for each image that will help in validation. Finally, the tested image will be verified using several approaches to protect and provide security to the original image being verified. This approach may be useful for different surveillance applications for real-time image identification and verification. Also, measurement of accuracy was done by reconfiguring the HMM to identify the constant segmentation and feature removal of the image was settled by initializing parameters and teaching the image feature using the algorithm “Viterbi”.
