AbstractBlockchains are a secure alternative for long-length data storage & security deployments. Though blockchains are unbounded, their quality of service (QoS) performance reduces after adding a certain number of blocks. Thus, sidechains have become essential for making the system decentralized, secure, and effective for use thereby improving their scalability & QoS performance. Sidechains reduce data storage and extraction delays. However, all sidechains of a single blockchain are the same in size, capacity, and security. This limits their application to real-world use cases that require dynamic security. To overcome this limitation, the authors propose a meta-heuristic approach to design a system that produces customized sidechains based on the quantity and quality of data stored on the chain. The model uses a machine-learning approach to find the best possible sidechain configuration for different data types. It makes the system fast and scalable and improves storage & memory efficiency. The proposed model is tested on multiple data sets and compared with various state-of-art sidechain deployments. An improvement of 18% in terms of mining speed, 27% in terms of energy efficiency, 10% with regards to throughput, and 8% concerning packet delivery ratio is observed. The model is tested under various attacks and faulty nodes to validate its security performance. A consistent QoS performance is observed for the proposed model under these attack types, thereby validating its resiliency for different attacks. This enhancement in performance makes the proposed model eligible for deployment in high-speed, low-energy, and high-security applications like IoT, mobile ad-hoc networks, and sensor networks.Keywords: Blockchainsidechainthroughputenergy consumptionQoSmeta-heuristic

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has unique characteristics with a minimalist design and has network access with great scalability, which makes it difficult to control access. Setting up an intrusion detection system (IDS) on an IoT system while taking into account its unique characteristics is a big challenge. In this paper, we propose a dimensional reduction approach utilizing the fast independent component analysis (ICA) method to address scalability issues of IDS for IoT systems. Experimental results show that the reduction of dimensions by the fast ICA method overall improves the IDS execution time and does not significantly affect accuracy.
物联网(Internet of Things, IoT)具有极简设计的独特特点,其网络接入具有极大的可扩展性,使得接入控制变得困难。在物联网系统上设置入侵检测系统(IDS),同时考虑到其独特的特性是一项巨大的挑战。在本文中,我们提出了一种利用快速独立分量分析(ICA)方法来解决物联网系统IDS的可扩展性问题的降维方法。实验结果表明,快速ICA方法的降维总体上提高了IDS的执行时间,且对准确率没有显著影响。

Using the dataset of the first nationwide victimization survey in Azerbaijan, the current paper analyzed whether home security systems have a relationship with the perceived probability of property crime victimization. The ordinal logistic regression analysis was employed. Examination of the distribution of security systems identified that dwelling type, residential location and income had a higher level of significance than the perceived risk of property crime victimization in predicting the level of security systems at home. As to the predictive capacity of security systems in relation to the perceived risk of property crime victimization, the former is statistically significant. Additionally, being a victim of property crime, residential location, age, and perceived neighborhood disorder level predicted the perceived risk of property crime victimization.
