Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, requiring early and accurate diagnosis to reduce mortality. This study proposes a hybrid classification pipeline that integrates Hybrid Statistical Feature Selection (HSFS) with unsupervised LSTM-guided feature extraction for breast cancer detection using the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) dataset. Initially, 20 features were selected using HSFS based on Mutual Information, Chi-square, and Pearson Correlation. To address class imbalance, the training set was balanced using the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE). Subsequently, an LSTM encoder extracted non-linear latent features from the selected features. A fusion strategy was applied by concatenating the statistical and latent features, followed by re-selection of the top 30 features. The final classification was performed using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with RBF kernel and evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation and a held-out test set. Experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved an average training accuracy of 98.13%, F1-score of 98.13%, and AUC-ROC of 99.55%. On the held-out test set, the model reached an accuracy of 99.30%, precision of 100%, and F1-score of 99.05%, with an AUC-ROC of 0.9973. The proposed pipeline demonstrates improved generalization and interpretability compared to existing methods such as LightGBM-PSO, DHH-GRU, and ensemble deep networks. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining statistical selection and LSTM-based latent feature encoding in a balanced classification framework.

Abstract

The daily exchange of informatics over the Internet has both eased the widespread proliferation of resources to ease accessibility, availability and interoperability of accompanying devices. In addition, the recent widespread proliferation of smartphones alongside other computing devices has continued to advance features such as miniaturization, portability, data access ease, mobility, and other merits. It has also birthed adversarial attacks targeted at network infrastructures and aimed at exploiting interconnected cum shared resources. These exploits seek to compromise an unsuspecting user device cum unit. Increased susceptibility and success rate of these attacks have been traced to user's personality traits and behaviours, which renders them repeatedly vulnerable to such exploits especially those rippled across spoofed websites as malicious contents. Our study posits a stacked, transfer learning approach that seeks to classify malicious contents as explored by adversaries over a spoofed, phishing websites. Our stacked approach explores 3-base classifiers namely Cultural Genetic Algorithm, Random Forest, and Korhonen Modular Neural Network – whose output is utilized as input for XGBoost meta-learner. A major challenge with learning scheme(s) is the flexibility with the selection of appropriate features for estimation, and the imbalanced nature of the explored dataset for which the target class often lags behind. Our study resolved dataset imbalance challenge using the SMOTE-Tomek mode; while, the selected predictors was resolved using the relief rank feature selection. Results shows that our hybrid yields F1 0.995, Accuracy 0.997, Recall 0.998, Precision 1.000, AUC-ROC 0.997, and Specificity 1.000 – to accurately classify all 2,764 cases of its held-out test dataset. Results affirm that it outperformed bench-mark ensembles. Result shows the proposed model explored UCI Phishing Website dataset, and effectively classified phishing (cues and lures) contents on websites.

Abstract

This study presents a Graph-Augmented Isolation Forest (GAIF), an unsupervised anomaly-detection framework for analyzing mobile user behavior. The proposed framework represents users and behavioral attributes as a user–feature bipartite graph, enabling the capture of relational dependencies that are not explicitly modeled in conventional vector-based approaches. Low-dimensional user representations are learned through Node2Vec and Graph Sample and Aggregate (GraphSAGE), and the resulting embeddings are subsequently processed by an Isolation Forest to produce anomaly scores. Experiments are conducted on a Mobile Device Usage and User Behavior dataset comprising 700 user profiles derived from application-level behavioral indicators. The dataset is treated as a behavioral abstraction rather than as a malware classification benchmark. A consistent 80:20 stratified train–test split is employed, with all learning-capable operations restricted to the training data to mitigate information leakage. Detection performance is evaluated post hoc using precision, recall, F1-score, and area under the curve (AUC) metrics. Under the evaluated setting, GAIF achieves an F1-score of 0.94 and an AUC of 0.97, demonstrating improved anomaly detection effectiveness relative to representative unsupervised baseline methods. These results are obtained on a static, proxy dataset and should not be interpreted as evidence of real-time deployment capability. Model interpretability is supported through post-hoc Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) visualizations of the learned embeddings, providing structural insights into anomalous user behavior. Overall, the findings indicate that integrating graph-based representation learning with isolation-based anomaly scoring constitutes a computationally efficient approach for unsupervised mobile user behavior anomaly detection within the scope of this study.

Abstract

The proliferation of cloud infrastructures has intensified concerns regarding data security, integrity, identity and access management, and user privacy. Despite recent advances, existing solutions often lack comprehensive integration of privacy-preserving mechanisms, dynamic trust management, and cross-provider interoperability. This study proposes an AI-enabled, zero-trust, blockchain-fused identity management framework for secure, privacy-preserving multi-cloud environments. The framework integrates homomorphic encryption with differential privacy for aggregate-level protection and secure multi-party computation for collaborative data processing. The proposed system was validated in a simulated multi-cloud environment using CloudSim, Ethereum blockchain, and AWS EC2. Experimental results indicate homomorphic encryption latency of approximately 450ms per operation and statistically significant security improvements (t(128) = 12.47, p < 0.001), privacy (t(95) = 8.93, p < 0.001), and throughput (t(156) = 15.21, p < 0.001). The framework achieved differential privacy with ε = 0.1 while retaining 99.2% data utility, and demonstrated a 34% improvement in processing speed over conventional differential privacy approaches. In addition, the implementation was observed to be 2.3× faster than BGV-based configurations, with 45% lower memory consumption than CKKS and a 67% reduction in ciphertext size relative to baseline implementations. From an operational perspective, the framework shows a 23% reduction in security management costs, a 31% improvement in resource utilization efficiency, and an 18% decrease in compliance audit expenses. The model further indicates a 27% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) compared with multi-vendor security solutions, a projected return on investment (ROI) within 14 months, and an 89% reduction in security incident response costs under the evaluated conditions.
