Abstract

As the world suffers from intrusions and malware extensively nowadays, intru-sion detection systems (IDS) play a critical role in protecting cyberspace from attacks. However, attacks become more complex every day, leading to the neces-sity of developing new techniques that can protect our digital infrastructure from cyber-attacks. Deep learning (DL) is one of the techniques that are investigated to fight against cyber-attacks. However, due to the nature of traffic data, most of the techniques focus on the deep neural network (DNN) as the performance of the DNN dependsonthetraining data. In this paper, we investigate the effective-ness of using convolutional neural networks (CNN) to detect malware apps and network intrusions. The cybersecurity datasets are converted from tabular data into images using the DeepInsight technique. Experiments are conducted using two datasets, NSL-KDD and CICMaldroid20 datasets. The proposed method demonstrates that converting cybersecurity datasets from tabular data into im-ages may decrease the model’s accuracy. Furthermore, this approach introduces additional challenges in the detection of network intrusions and malware. More-over, the added architectural complexity may cause a dilution or distortion of feature representations, making it harder for the model to preserve the original semantic meaning of critical features.

Abstract

Due to the unique features and characteristics of blockchain technology, its applications have expanded across various sectors, including finance, banking, supply chains, and smart grids (SGs). Blockchain ensures security and trust in transactions without requiring a third party, making it particularly valuable in decentralized systems. This paper explores the integration of blockchain technology into SG systems. It begins with a comprehensive review of conventional and smart power grids, identifying the key challenges modern SGs face, particularly issues related to trust and fraud. An in-depth analysis of blockchain technology follows, highlighting its potential, advantages, and defining characteristics. The study then examines several blockchain-based SG applications and provides a comparative analysis of prior research. The findings of this review illuminate the critical role of blockchain in enhancing SG performance by addressing trust and fraud prevention challenges. Furthermore, this research has significant implications for the energy sector, as it underscores the potential of blockchain to revolutionize SGs through increased security, transparency, and efficiency. By providing a foundation for future studies, this paper aims to guide the development of unified blockchain frameworks that address scalability, privacy, and energy management, paving the way for a more secure and efficient decentralized energy system
