The area of intelligent transport systems (ITS) is attracting growing attention because of the integration of the smart IoT with vehicles that improve user safety and overall travel experience. Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is the part of ITS; that deals with the routing protocols and security of smart vehicles. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of smart vehicles, the existing network technology’s resources unable to handle the traffic load. It expects that the 6G communication system has the ability to fulfill the requirements of VANETs. Only a few studies explore this area, but they also overlooked the security aspect of VANETs in 6G communications networks. In this paper, we present an approach to address authentication and security issues for vehicles in VANET. By authenticating cars in the VANET and identifying various cyber assaults such as DDoS, our method significantly contributes to the intelligent transport communication network. Our approach uses the concepts of identity-based encryption to provide access control to the vehicles and deep learning-based techniques for filtering malicious packets. Our identity-based encryption technique is IND-sID-CCA secure, and a state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm detects malicious packets with an accuracy of 99.72%. These results emphasize the validity of our proposed approach for VANETs in 6G communication systems.

Educators have been calling for reform for a decade. Recent technical breakthroughs have led to various improvements in the semantic web-based education system. After last year's COVID-19 outbreak, development quickened. Many countries and educational systems now concentrate on providing students with online education, which differs greatly from traditional classroom education. Online education allows students to learn at their own pace and the system. As a consequence, we may say that education has become more dynamic. In the educational system, this changing nature makes user demands difficult to identify. Many instructors suggest using machine learning, artificial intelligence, or ontology to improve traditional teaching methods. Due to the lack of survey studies examining and comparing all of the researcher's semantic web-based teaching methodologies, we decided to conduct this survey. This paper's goal is to analyse all available possibilities for semantic web-based education systems that enable new researchers to develop their knowledge.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is a developing technology that will significantly alter the driving experience. In such systems, smart vehicles and Road-Side Units (RSUs) communicate through the VANET. Safety apps use these data to identify and prevent hazardous situations in real-time. Detection of malicious nodes and attack traffic in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a current research subject. Recently, researchers are proposing graph-based machine learning techniques to identify malicious users in the ITS environment, through which it is easy to analyze the network traffic and detect the malicious devices. Therefore, graph-based machine learning techniques could be a technique that efficiently detect malicious nodes in the ITS environment. In this context, this article aims to provide a technique for resolving authentication and security issues in ITS using lightweight cryptography and graph-based machine learning. Our solution uses the concepts of identity based authentication technique and graph-based machine learning in order to provide authentication and security to the smart vehicle in ITS. By authenticating smart vehicles in ITS and identifying various cyber threats, our proposed method substantially contributes to the development of intelligent transportation communication environment.

In this digital era expectations for medical quality have increased. As the number of patients continues to increase, conventional health care methods are having to deal with new complications. In light of these observations, researchers suggested a hybrid combination of conventional health care methods with IoT technology and develop MIoT. The goal of IoMT is to ensure that patients can respond more effectively and efficiently to their treatment. But preserving user privacy is a critical issue when it comes to collecting and handling highly sensitive personal health data. However, IoMTs have limited processing power; hence, they can only implement minimal security techniques. Consequently, throughout the health data transfer through MIoT, patient’s data is at risk of data leakage. This manuscript per the authors emphasizes the need of implementing suitable security measures to increase the IoMT's resilience to cyberattacks. Additionally, this manuscript per the authors discusses the main security and privacy issues associated with IoMT and provide an overview of existing techniques.

Over the past few years, personalized recommendations have emerged as a fundamental component of the consumer electronics sector. The rise of decentralized federated learning has expanded the horizons of personalized recommendations, offering significant potential. Nonetheless, the utilization of confidential data from diverse clients raises legitimate concerns regarding privacy and security. In response to these challenges, we present an innovative framework for secure and privacy-preserving decentralized federated learning, tailored to personalized recommendations within the consumer electronics sector. Our approach strives to facilitate the collective contribution of data from multiple clients to the learning process while safeguarding their privacy. To accomplish this, we harness the power of homomorphic encryption, ensuring that clients’ data remains encrypted and impervious to prying eyes. Additionally, we leverage blockchain technology to establish a secure, decentralized foundation for data exchange and management. Through the utilization of blockchain, we empower clients to validate the integrity of the learning process, guarantee system transparency, and thwart any malicious attempts at result manipulation. Our framework is rigorously assessed using real-world consumer electronics data, highlighting its capacity to provide a secure, decentralized, and privacy-centric solution for personalized recommendations. This approach not only enriches the user experience but also offers robust safeguards for sensitive data.
