Cloud computing is perhaps the most enticing innovation in the present figuring situation. It gives an expense-effective arrangement by diminishing the enormous forthright expense of purchasing equipment foundations and processing power. Fog computing is an additional help to cloud infrastructure by utilizing a portion of the less-registered undertaking at the edge devices, reducing the end client’s reaction time, such as IoT. However, most of the IoT devices are resource-constrained, and there are many devices that cyber attacks could target. Cyber-attacks such as bottleneck, Dos, DDoS, and botnets are still significant threats in the IoT environment. Botnets are currently the most significant threat on the internet. A set of infected systems connected online and directed by an adversary to carry out malicious actions without authorization or authentication is known as a botnet. A botnet can compromise the system and steal the data. It can also perform attacks, like Phishing, spamming, and more. To overcome the critical issue, we exhibit a novel botnet attack detection approach that could be utilized in fog computing situations to dispense with the attack using the programmable nature of the software-defined network (SDN) environment. We carefully tested the most recent dataset for our proposed technique, standard and extended performance evaluation measures, and current DL models. To further illustrate overall performance, our findings are cross-validated. The proposed method performs better than previous ones in correctly identifying 99.98% of multi-variant sophisticated bot attacks. Additionally, the time of our suggested method is 0.022(ms), indicating good speed efficiency results.

In the context of 6G technology, the Internet of Everything aims to create a vast network that connects both humans and devices across multiple dimensions. The integration of smart healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and homes is incredibly appealing, as it allows people to effortlessly control their environment through touch or voice commands. Consequently, with the increase in Internet connectivity, the security risk also rises. However, the future is centered on a six-fold increase in connectivity, necessitating the development of stronger security measures to handle the rapidly expanding concept of IoT-enabled metaverse connections. Various types of attacks, often orchestrated using botnets, pose a threat to the performance of IoT-enabled networks. Detecting anomalies within these networks is crucial for safeguarding applications from potentially disastrous consequences. The voting classifier is a machine learning (ML) model known for its effectiveness as it capitalizes on the strengths of individual ML models and has the potential to improve overall predictive performance. In this research, we proposed a novel classification technique based on the DRX approach that combines the advantages of the Decision tree, Random forest, and XGBoost algorithms. This ensemble voting classifier significantly enhances the accuracy and precision of network intrusion detection systems. Our experiments were conducted using the NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and CIC-IDS2017 datasets. The findings of our study show that the DRX-based technique works better than the others. It achieved a higher accuracy of 99.88% on the NSL-KDD dataset, 99.93% on the UNSW-NB15 dataset, and 99.98% on the CIC-IDS2017 dataset, outperforming the other methods. Additionally, there is a notable reduction in the false positive rates to 0.003, 0.001, and 0.00012 for the NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and CIC-IDS2017 datasets.

Computed tomography (CT) is used in a wide range of medical imaging diagnoses. However, the reconstruction of CT images from raw projection data is inherently complex and is subject to artifacts and noise, which compromises image quality and accuracy. In order to address these challenges, deep learning developments have the potential to improve the reconstruction of computed tomography images. In this regard, our research aim is to determine the techniques that are used for 3D deep learning in CT reconstruction and to identify the training and validation datasets that are accessible. This research was performed on five databases. After a careful assessment of each record based on the objective and scope of the study, we selected 60 research articles for this review. This systematic literature review revealed that convolutional neural networks (CNNs), 3D convolutional neural networks (3D CNNs), and deep learning reconstruction (DLR) were the most suitable deep learning algorithms for CT reconstruction. Additionally, two major datasets appropriate for training and developing deep learning systems were identified: 2016 NIH-AAPM-Mayo and MSCT. These datasets are important resources for the creation and assessment of CT reconstruction models. According to the results, 3D deep learning may increase the effectiveness of CT image reconstruction, boost image quality, and lower radiation exposure. By using these deep learning approaches, CT image reconstruction may be made more precise and effective, improving patient outcomes, diagnostic accuracy, and healthcare system productivity.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to various kinds of security threats that can degrade the performance of the network and may cause the sensors to send wrong information to the sink. Key management, authentication and secure routing protocols cannot guarantee the required security for WSNs. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) provides a solution to this problem by analysing the network in order to detect abnormal behaviour of the sensor node(s). Researchers have proposed various approaches for detecting intrusions in WSNs during the past few years. In this survey, we classify these approaches into three categories and discuss them in detail.
