Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based brain tumor classification is pivotal for early diagnosis and treatment planning. This study enhances the VGG16 pretrained model through freeze-5 fine-tuning (i.e., freezing the first five convolutional layers) and dataset fusion of two public repositories, yielding 5,023 training and 1,311 testing images. Preprocessing includes normalization and grayscale-to-RGB conversion, followed by moderate augmentation (rotation ≤ 15°, shift ≤ 0.1, zoom ≤ 0.1, brightness [0.9–1.1]). The base VGG16 (without top layers) is extended with GlobalAveragePooling2D, Dense (1024, ReLU), Dropout (0.5), and Dense (4, softmax) layers. The model is compiled with the Adam optimizer (lr=1e-4), EarlyStopping, and ReduceLROnPlateau callbacks. On the test set, the proposed configuration achieves peak accuracy of 99.16 % and macro-F1 of 0.99, outperforming prior hybrid approaches. An ablation study confirms that the freeze-5 strategy combined with data augmentation significantly boosts generalization without overfitting. These results underscore the critical role of optimal layer-freezing and dataset fusion in brain tumor classification. Future work will explore ensemble architecture and real-time clinical deployment.

Abstract

The growing demand for secure digital communication calls for cryptographic protocols that are not only efficient but also capable of ensuring message confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. PrivateDH is one such protocol that combines Diffie-Hellman, RSA, and AES; however, it still exhibits key weaknesses, including the absence of user authentication and reliance on classical Diffie-Hellman algorithms, which are computationally intensive and do not support forward secrecy. This study proposes an enhanced version of the PrivateDH protocol by integrating ECDHE Curve25519 as a replacement for classic DH, and RSASSA-PSS as a robust digital signature mechanism for user authentication. The methodology involves implementing and testing the proposed protocol within a peer-to-peer communication scenario, with performance evaluations based on handshake duration, CPU and memory usage, as well as security assessments including digital signature validation and forward secrecy. The results demonstrate that the enhanced protocol effectively accelerates key exchange, maintains resource efficiency, and provides reliable user authentication. In conclusion, this protocol contributes meaningfully to the advancement of more secure and efficient end-to-end communication systems, aligning with the demands of modern digital environments.
