Physically Encrypted Wireless Transmission Based on XOR between Two Data in Terahertz Beams
Future wireless communications require higher security as well as a higher data rate. We have been studying physically secured wireless transmission systems and previously proposed encryption/decryption techniques based on the AND operation caused by coherent detection between two encrypted data sequences on two different terahertz carriers. Furthermore, we suggested that by employing the XOR operation as the decryption, the proposed system can be made more secure because XOR increases the computational complexity for eavesdroppers to recover the plaintext. In this paper, we propose the XOR operation between two data sequences on FSK-modulated terahertz waves. By constructing the XOR encryption transmitters/receivers, which consisted of high-speed wavelength tunable lasers and arrayed uni-traveling-carrier photodiodes (UTC-PDs), we successfully demonstrated the XOR operation between two data sequences on 200 GHz waves from the two transmitters.

5G cyber risks and mitigation
\"5G technology is the next step in the evolution of wireless communication. It offers faster speeds and more bandwidth than 4G. One of the biggest differences between 4G and 5G is that 5G will be used for a wider range of applications. This makes it ideal for applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and the internet of things. This means that there will be more devices connected to 5G networks, making them more vulnerable to cyber attacks. However, 5G also introduces new cyber risks that need to be addressed. In addition, 5 G networks are expected to be much more complex, making them harder to secure. 5G networks will use new technologies that could make them more vulnerable to attack. These technologies include massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output), which uses more antennas than traditional cellular networks, and millimeter wave (mmWave), which uses higher frequencies than traditional cellular networks. These new technologies could make it easier for attackers to intercept data or disrupt service. To address these concerns, security measures must be implemented throughout the network. Security mechanisms must be included in the design of 5G networks and must be updated as new threats are identified. Moreover, to address these risks, 5 G security standards need to be developed and implemented. These standards should include measures to protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, malware infections, and other threats. Fortunately, artificial intelligence can play a key role in mitigating these risks. With so many interconnected devices, it can be difficult to identify and isolate malicious traffic. AI can help by identifying patterns in data that would otherwise be undetectable to humans. 6G technology is still in the early developmental stages, but security experts are already voicing concerns about the potential challenges that could arise with this next generation of mobile connectivity. Experts are already working on a roadmap for 6G deployment, and they are confident that these and other challenges can be overcome\"-- Provided by publisher.

Vehicular Platoon Communication: Architecture, Security Threats and Open Challenges
The emerging technology that is vehicular platooning is an exciting technology. It promises to save space on congested roadways, improve safety and utilise less fuel for transporting goods, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The technology has already been shown to be vulnerable to attack and exploitation by attackers. Attackers have several attack surfaces available for exploitation to achieve their goals (either personal or financial). The goal of this paper and its contribution to the area of research is to present the attacks and defence mechanisms for vehicular platoons and put risks of existing identified attacks forwards. Here the variety of attacks that have been identified in the literature are presented and how they compromise the wireless communications of vehicle platoons. As part of this, a risk assessment is presented to assess the risk factor of the attacks. Finally, this paper presents the range of defence and countermeasures to vehicle platooning attacks and how they protect the safe operations of vehicular platoons.

Secrecy and methods in security research : a guide to qualitative fieldwork
\"This book analyses the challenges of secrecy in security research, and develops a set of methods to navigate, encircle and work with secrecy. How can researchers navigate secrecy in their fieldwork, when they encounter confidential material, closed-off quarters or bureaucratic rebuffs? This is a particular challenge for researchers in the security field, which is by nature secretive and difficult to access. This book creatively assesses and analyses the ways in which secrecies operate in security research. The collection sets out new understandings of secrecy, and shows how secrecy itself can be made productive to research analysis. It offers students, PhD researchers and senior scholars a rich toolkit of methods and best-practice examples for ethically appropriate ways of navigating secrecy. It pays attention to the balance between confidentiality, and academic freedom and integrity. The chapters draw on the rich qualitative fieldwork experiences of the contributors, who did research at a diversity of sites, for example at a former atomic weapons research facility, inside deportation units, in conflict zones, in everyday security landscapes, in virtual spaces, and at borders, bureaucracies and banks. The book will be of interest to students of research methods, critical security studies and International Relations in general\"-- Provided by publisher.

Secure Bluetooth Communication in Smart Healthcare Systems: A Novel Community Dataset and Intrusion Detection System
Smart health presents an ever-expanding attack surface due to the continuous adoption of a broad variety of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices and applications. IoMT is a common approach to smart city solutions that deliver long-term benefits to critical infrastructures, such as smart healthcare. Many of the IoMT devices in smart cities use Bluetooth technology for short-range communication due to its flexibility, low resource consumption, and flexibility. As smart healthcare applications rely on distributed control optimization, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) offer effective approaches to mitigate cyber-attacks. This paper presents a decentralized, predictive, DL-based process to autonomously detect and block malicious traffic and provide an end-to-end defense against network attacks in IoMT devices. Furthermore, we provide the BlueTack dataset for Bluetooth-based attacks against IoMT networks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first intrusion detection dataset for Bluetooth classic and Bluetooth low energy (BLE). Using the BlueTack dataset, we devised a multi-layer intrusion detection method that uses deep-learning techniques. We propose a decentralized architecture for deploying this intrusion detection system on the edge nodes of a smart healthcare system that may be deployed in a smart city. The presented multi-layer intrusion detection models achieve performances in the range of 97–99.5% based on the F1 scores.
