Intrusion Detection and Attack Mitigation for Cloud Blade Servers via Optimized GRU Classification and Kerberos Cryptography

Cloud communication faces numerous disruptive cybersecurity threats. Various issues related to such disruption have been the subject of previous research, but detection attacks in the blade server (BS) in the cloud have not been studied. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient intrusion detection system (IDS) framework for BS in the cloud. This framework uses Kerberos authentication-based exponential Mestre-Brainstrass curve cryptography, Sechsoftwave and sparsely centric gated recurrent unit (SSGRU). In this framework, cloud users are firstly registered to the network, and then incoming data are encrypted. The BS is then used to balance the incoming loads, and IDS is applied to detect attacks in the BS, with the data being pre-processed firstly and the big data being handled in the IDS. Afterwards, the features are extracted, from which optimal features are selected. Attacked and normal blades are classified by using the SSGRU classifier and then differentiated by generating a Sankey diagram. The attacked blades are then isolated, and the normal blades are used for load balancing on the cloud. Results indicate that this model achieved 99.43% accuracy, thus demonstrating superior performance to other models.

GLU-Attention Hybrid Architecture for Dual-Biometric Passkey Generation via Neuro-Symbolic and Chaotic Dynamics

The generation of cryptographic keys from biometric traits presents an opportunity to replace traditional password-based systems with mechanisms grounded in individual physiology. Nonetheless, reliably deriving secure and reproducible keys from modalities such as fingerprints and irises remains a significant challenge, particularly under varying input conditions and constraints on entropy. In this work, we present a hybrid dual-path deep learning architecture that combines Gated Linear Units (GLUs) with Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) modules to extract rich, multimodal embeddings from iris and fingerprint images. The model, trained on an augmented cross-modal dataset, achieved a test accuracy of 99.92% and consistently high F1-scores across 50 subjects. To derive the cryptographic key, we apply a multi-stage pipeline that blends principal component projections, distance-based feature encoding, chaotic sequence modeling based on Lorenz-like dynamics, and a lightweight error-correcting routine. These representations are fused via a custom mixing function, producing a 512-bit binary vector subsequently refined using a SHA-256-based HKDF. Evaluation of the generated keys indicates near-ideal entropy, high inter-user separation, and strong avalanche characteristics. The system also passed multiple NIST statistical randomness tests and achieved a near-zero false acceptance rate. These results support the feasibility of the proposed method for secure and repeatable biometric key generation.

Feature-Specific GAN Augmentation and Systematic Hyperparameter Optimization: A Framework for Autism Spectrum Disorder Classification

Early and accurate diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using neuroimaging has become increasingly viable with the advent of deep learning (DL) technologies. Current clinical diagnostic processes for ASD are largely subjective and time-intensive, creating an urgent need for objective diagnostic tools. This study presents a comprehensive comparison of three prominent functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) feature extraction methods, ALFF (Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuations), fALFF (fractional ALFF), and ReHo (Regional Homogeneity), alongside structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging  (sMRI) data, to evaluate their effectiveness in classifying ASD using various deep learning architectures. Preprocessed data from the ABIDE dataset were utilized, with uniform preprocessing pipelines applied, followed by feature extraction using the AAL (Automated Anatomical Labeling) atlas. Synthetic data augmentation was performed using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to mitigate class imbalance. We trained and tuned multiple models, including 1-dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1D CNNs) with multi-head attention, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Vision Transformers (ViTs), with and without hyperparameter optimization. The findings indicate that the highest classification performance was attained using ALFF features with a hyperparameter-optimized CNN enhanced by attention mechanisms, achieving an accuracy of 0.83. Similarly, ReHo features yielded an equal accuracy of 0.83 when analyzed using a Vision Transformer (ViT) model. Across all experiments, functional neuroimaging features consistently outperformed structural features in classifying ASD. Notably, systematic hyperparameter tuning led to substantial improvements, particularly for ALFF-based models, where accuracy increased markedly from 59% to 83% using the CNN+Attention architecture. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of feature types and model architectures across neuroimaging modalities, offering critical insights into their relative diagnostic value for ASD. The achieved accuracy of 83% using both ALFF and ReHo features marks a meaningful advancement in the field, setting realistic benchmarks for future research while adhering to stringent methodological rigor.

Enhancement Medical Image using U-Net Model in Three Dimensional Vitreoretinal Surgery

Vitreoretinal surgery is highly dependent on good visualization of fragile retinal surfaces for the purpose of accurate and safe operation. However, the image quality of current 3D heads-up display systems is often suboptimal, such as low contrast or inadequate sharpness, which is likely to decrease the accuracy of operation and prolong the operation duration. Improving intraoperative image quality continues to be a challenge for the advancement of the surgical results. In this paper, we advocate a deep learning-based solution to optimal imaging parameter guidance for the prospect of 3D HU-image guided VR surgery, seeking to improve vitreoretinal surface visibility during the surgery. A hybrid model that combines a U-Net-based image enhancement with a ViT for feature refinement has been learned using 212 manually optimized still frames (extracted from the ERM surgical video). The performance of the algorithm was quantitatively assessed through peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the structural similarity index map (SSIM) and qualitatively evaluated in terms of the improvement in sharpness, brightness, and contrast. Moreover, the in-cabin usability of optimized images was investigated in an intraoperative survey. For in-vitro validation, 121 anonymous high-resolution ERM fundus images were analyzed with a 3D display coupled with the algorithm. The SSIM and PSNR of the model were 36.45±4.90 and 0.91±0.05, respectively, which indicated considerable improvements in image sharpness, brightness, and contrast. Visible ERM size and color contrast ratio were significantly enhanced in optimized images in the in-vitro studies. The results demonstrate that the developed algorithm can perform digital image enhancement effectively and has promise in the real-time applications during the 3D heads-up vitreoretinal surgeries.

Image Captioning is the main task, which unites computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP), where it goals to produce graphic legends for images. A dual-fold procedure depends on precise image perception and alters language understanding both semantically and syntactically. It is gradually challenging to stay up with the modern study and consequences in image captioning owing to the developing amount of knowledge accessible on the topic.  This analysis examines into deep learning (DL) to tackle the tasks challenged by individuals with graphic impairments, targeting to improve their visual insight via advanced technologies. By tradition, the visually impaired have trusted physical support and adaptive helps for understanding and navigating visual content. With the beginning of DL, there is a unique chance to develop this scenery. In this paper, we offer an Advanced Deep Learning Method for Image Captioning Based Using Customized Transformer with a Global Optimization Algorithm (ADLIC-CTGOA). The foremost aim of ADLIC-CTGOA model is to focus on the initiation of the effectual textual image captioning of an input image. Initially, the ADLIC-CTGOA method employs preprocessing phase to enhances both image and text data: images undergo noise removal and contrast enhancement to improve quality, while text is processed by removing numbers, converting to lowercase, and text vectorization. Next, the customized swin transformer is employed for feature extraction to capture fine-grained visual features from images. In addition, the BERT Transformer model is deployed for image captioning process. To enhance the performance of proposed technique, the chaotic Aquila optimization (CAO) technique was applied for parameter tuning for enhancing the performance. A wide sort of simulation studies are executed to ensure the improved performance of ADLIC-CTGOA system. The comparative result exploration reported the betterment of the ADLIC-CTGOA model on recent approaches in terms of different evaluation measures.

Blind and visually challenged people face the range of practical issues by undertaking outside travels as pedestrians. In the last decade, various beneficial devices is investigated and established to assist people with disabilities move independently and safely. Anomaly detection in pedestrian paths for visually impaired individuals, using remote sensing (RS), is crucial for improving pedestrian traffic flow and safety. Engineers and investigators can create efficient methods and tools with the effect of computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) to recognize anomalies and alleviate possible security hazards in pedestrian walkways. With recent progress in deep learning (DL) and ML fields, researchers have realised that the image recognition problem is supposed to be developed as classification problems. This paper proposes a Coati Optimization Algorithm-Based Parameter Tuning for Pedestrian Walkways with Transfer Learning Model (COAPT-PWTLM) technique. The main goal of COAPT-PWTLM technique is to provide automatic detection of pedestrian walkways for disability using advanced models. Initially, the median filtering (MF) is employed in the image pre-processing stage to eliminate the noise from an input image data. Furthermore, the SquezeNet1.1 model is utilized for feature extraction. For the classification process, the multi-layer autoencoder (MLAE) model is implemented. Finally, the modified update coati optimization algorithm (MUCOA) model adjusts the hyperparameter range of MLAE method optimally and results in improved classification performance. The experimental validation of the COAPT-PWTLM is verified on a benchmark image dataset and the outcomes are evaluated under dissimilar measures. The experimental outcome underlined the progress of the COAPT-PWTLM model over the existing models.

Impact of XSS Attacks on Cybersecurity and Detection Approaches Using Machine Learning Techniques: A Survey

The dramatically increasing use of web applications and the rapid development of cloud services and interactive websites that provide integrated online services, relying on user data entry and server response, have been the primary drivers of the increase in cyber-attacks and threats, most notably cross-site scripting (XSS). Cross-site scripting attacks exploit available security vulnerabilities to inject malicious code, leading to numerous risks such as malware distribution, session hijacking, and data theft. Most traditional defense methods, such as input validation and output encoding, are reasonably ineffective against advanced threats. The advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence models have provided more accurate detection and prevention capabilities for these threats with significant accuracy. This study reviews the types and mechanisms of XSS attacks, existing mitigation techniques, and detection methods based on machine and deep learning. It also highlights several previous studies and related work on detecting and preventing these attacks, compares these works' performance using evaluation metrics and several aspects, identifies research gaps, and outlines future directions for improving XSS detection methods.

On Graded S-semiprime Submodules of Graded Modules Over Graded Commutative Rings

Let G be a group with identity e. Let T be a commutative G-graded ring with non-zero identity, W be a graded T-module and S ⊆ h(T) a multiplicatively closed subset of T. In this article, we introduce and study the concept of graded S-semiprime submodules. A graded submodule K of W with (K :T W) ∩ S = ∅ is said to be graded S-semiprime, if there exists a fixed st ∈ S such that whenever rn i mj ∈ K for some ri ∈ h(T), mj ∈ h(W), t, i, j ∈ G, and n ∈ N, then strimj ∈ K. Some characterizations and properties of graded S-semiprime submodules are given.
