Phishing attacks are a growing concern for individuals and organizations alike, with the potential to cause significant financial and reputational damage. Traditional methods for detecting phishing attacks, such as blacklists and signature-based techniques, have limitations that have led to developing more advanced techniques. In recent years, machine learning and deep learning techniques have gained attention for their potential to improve the accuracy of phishing detection. Deep learning algorithms, such as CNNs and LSTMs, are designed to learn from patterns and identify anomalies in data, making them more effective in detecting sophisticated phishing attempts. To develop a comprehensive understanding of the current state of research on the use of deep learning techniques for phishing detection, a systematic literature review is necessary. This review aims to identify the various deep learning techniques used for phishing detection, their effectiveness, and areas for future research. By synthesizing the findings of relevant studies, this review identifies the strengths and limitations of different approaches and provides insights into the challenges that need to be addressed to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of phishing detection. This review aims to contribute to developing a coherent and evidence-based understanding of the use of deep learning techniques for phishing detection. The review identifies gaps in the literature and informs the development of future research questions and areas of focus. With the increasing sophistication of phishing attacks, applying deep learning in this area is a critical and rapidly evolving field. This systematic literature review aims to provide insights into the current state of research and identify areas for future research to advance the field of phishing detection using deep learning.

The generative model and discriminative model are the two categories of statistical models used in keystroke biometric areas. Generative models have the trait of handling missing or irregular data, and perform well for limited training data. Discriminative models are fast in making predictions for new data, resulting in faster classification of new data compared to the generative models. In an attempt to build an efficient model for keystroke biometric user identification, this study proposes a hybrid POHMM/SVM method taking advantage of both generative and discriminative models. The partially observable hidden Markov model (POHMM) is an extension of the hidden Markov model (HMM), which has shown promising performance in user verification and handling missing or infrequent data. On the other hand, the support vector machine (SVM) has been a widely used discriminative model in keystroke biometric systems for the last decade and achieved a higher accuracy rate for large data sets. In the proposed model, features are extracted using the POHMM model, and a one-class support vector machine is used as the anomaly detector. For user identification, the study examines POHMM parameters using five different discriminative classifiers: support vector machines, k-nearest neighbor, random forest, multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network, and logistic regression. The best accuracy of 91.3% (mean 0.868, SD 0.132) is achieved by the proposed hybrid POHMM/SVM approach among all generative and discriminative models.

The emergence of the Internet of Things (loT) has led to remarkable advancements in various sectors such as urbanization, manufacturing, and healthcare, intending to enhance the quality of life and contribute to the world economy. However, by the conclusion of 2024, ti is projected that the global network of the Internet of Things (IoT) will encompass over 207billion interconnected devices. The immense data collected and exchanged are often stored in centralized servers, leading to vulnerabilities such as data breaches. Blockchain technology, originally developed for cryptocurrency transactions, provides a possible solution for these challenges with its decentralized, immutable, and encrypted features. This survey provides a comprehensive discussion regarding the fusion of Blockchain technology and the loT, covering architectural alignment, application, security, and limitations. The contributions of this survey include an overview of Blockchain technology and its secure applications, the integration of Blockchain into IoT , an examination of suitable methods for Blockchain integration,and a taxonomy or security and limitations of loT and blockchain integration.
