Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are a significant component of upcoming intelligent transportation systems. VANETs improve road safety by sending danger alerts to drivers; therefore, their messages must be secure and unaltered. Digital signatures are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of transmitted messages; however, existing digital signature-based schemes require a high computational time owing to the repeated use of mathematical operations. To address this issue, a novel signature aggregation and key management (LAAS-KM) scheme is proposed in this paper to reduce the computational cost without compromising security. First, the LAAS-KM allows roadside infrastructure to cluster multiple vehicle signatures into a compact signature to reduce the large computational overhead during the verification process. Moreover, LAAS-KM supports group communication with novel key management to update keys as vehicles move and network topologies change dynamically in VANETs. Moreover, the security analysis section indicates that the LAAS-KM can prevent various security attacks, including impersonation and replay attacks. Furthermore, a formal security analysis is performed using the Scyther tool to validate the critical security properties of LAAS-KM. Performance evaluations show that LAAS-KM outperforms traditional schemes in terms of communication and computation overheads. Finally, a practical simulation is performed using MATLAB, and the performance metrics are analyzed.

Dysarthria, a motor speech disorder characterized by slurred and often unintelligible speech, presents substantial challenges for effective communication. Conventional automatic speech recognition systems frequently underperform on dysarthric speech, particularly in severe cases. To address this gap, we introduce low-latency acoustic transcription and textual encoding (LATTE), an advanced framework designed for real-time dysarthric speech recognition. LATTE integrates preprocessing, acoustic processing, and transcription mapping into a unified pipeline, with its core powered by a hybrid architecture that combines convolutional layers for acoustic feature extraction with bidirectional temporal layers for modeling temporal dependencies. Evaluated on the UA-Speech dataset, LATTE achieves a word error rate of 12.5%, phoneme error rate of 8.3%, and a character error rate of 1%. By enabling accurate, low-latency transcription of impaired speech, LATTE provides a robust foundation for enhancing communication and accessibility in both digital applications and real-time interactive environments.

Domain adaptation-based methods are extensively applied to predict the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of rolling bearings under complex operating conditions. However, the nonlinear degradation process of bearings gives rise to markedly non-stationary characteristics in vibration signals throughout the full life cycle. Although significant differences in fault features arise across different degradation stages, clearly identifying the critical degradation information remains a challenge. In this paper, a Signal Knowledge-enhanced Domain Adaptation Network (SKDAN) is proposed to learn domain-invariant features from non-stationary degradation processes, thereby improving cross-domain RUL prediction. Specifically, an adaptive short-time Fourier transform layer with a variable window is introduced to analyze the raw vibration signals in the time domain. This differentiable layer extracts time–frequency physical information with high energy concentration, which enhances the representation of degradation features. Subsequently, a novel discrepancy metric, termed Multi-Stage Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MSMMD), is proposed to replace the global average discrepancy with multiple local discrepancies. The MSMMD metric effectively increases the inter-class distance between cluster centers, which enables cross-domain feature alignment. Finally, an uncertainty measurement mechanism is constructed via a step-by-step training strategy, with the objective of quantifying the uncertainty in RUL results by calculating confidence intervals for prediction points. Comparative tests with other methods are conducted on two different bearing datasets, and the results demonstrate that SKDAN achieves superior performance and reliability in cross-domain RUL prediction.
