Scope Of Application

The importance of cybersecurity is on the rise as we have become more technologically dependent on the internet than ever before. Cybersecurity implies the process of protecting and recovering computer systems, networks, devices, and programs from any cyber attack. Cyber attacks are an increasingly sophisticated and evolving danger to our sensitive data, as attackers employ new methods to circumvent traditional security controls. Cryptanalysis is mainly used to crack cryptographic security systems and gain access to the contents of the encrypted messages, even if the key is unknown. It focuses on deciphering the encrypted data as it works with ciphertext, ciphers, and cryptosystems to understand how they work and find techniques for weakening them. For classical cryptanalysis, the recovery of ciphertext is difficult as the time complexity is exponential. The traditional cryptanalysis requires a significant amount of time, known plaintexts, and memory. Machine learning may reduce the computational complexity in cryptanalysis. Machine learning techniques have recently been applied in cryptanalysis, steganography, and other data-securityrelated applications. Deep learning is an advanced field of machine learning which mainly uses deep neural network architecture. Nowadays, deep learning techniques are usually explored extensively to solve many challenging problems of artificial intelligence. But not much work has been done on deep learning-based cryptanalysis. This paper attempts to summarize various machine learning based approaches for cryptanalysis along with discussions on the scope of application of deep learning techniques in cryptography.

The networked systems become more and more pervasive and businesses still acquire a lot of sensitive data online, so that the quantity and class of cyber-attacks and network security breaches has risen dramatically. There are also instances that so many volumes of data are hacked even without the knowledge of the people concerned. So far setting an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), it is obvious to set the true working environment to model the possibilities of attacks. Therefore, it is imperative to design a software that will be able to identify network intrusions, in order to protect a computer network from the unknown users. For overcoming this challenge, it is essential to predict whether the connection is targeted or not from KDDCup99 dataset utilizing machine learning techniques. The objective of this work is to investigate machine learning based algorithms for enhancing packet connection transfers forecasting using ensemble learning voting classifier techniques. It is proposed to deploy AI-based technique to precisely anticipate the DOS, R2L, U2R, Probe and large assaults. Results showed that the viability of the proposed AI calculation strategy can be contrasted and the best exactness with accuracy, Recall and F1 Score.

Combined Defects

Various techniques have been developed to detect railway defects. One of the popular techniques is machine learning. This unprecedented study applies deep learning, which is a branch of machine learning techniques, to detect and evaluate the severity of rail combined defects. The combined defects in the study are settlement and dipped joint. Features used to detect and evaluate the severity of combined defects are axle box accelerations simulated using a verified rolling stock dynamic behavior simulation called D-Track. A total of 1650 simulations are run to generate numerical data. Deep learning techniques used in the study are deep neural network (DNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), and recurrent neural network (RNN). Simulated data are used in two ways: simplified data and raw data. Simplified data are used to develop the DNN model, while raw data are used to develop the CNN and RNN model. For simplified data, features are extracted from raw data, which are the weight of rolling stock, the speed of rolling stock, and three peak and bottom accelerations from two wheels of rolling stock. In total, there are 14 features used as simplified data for developing the DNN model. For raw data, time-domain accelerations are used directly to develop the CNN and RNN models without processing and data extraction. Hyperparameter tuning is performed to ensure that the performance of each model is optimized. Grid search is used for performing hyperparameter tuning. To detect the combined defects, the study proposes two approaches. The first approach uses one model to detect settlement and dipped joint, and the second approach uses two models to detect settlement and dipped joint separately. The results show that the CNN models of both approaches provide the same accuracy of 99%, so one model is good enough to detect settlement and dipped joint. To evaluate the severity of the combined defects, the study applies classification and regression concepts. Classification is used to evaluate the severity by categorizing defects into light, medium, and severe classes, and regression is used to estimate the size of defects. From the study, the CNN model is suitable for evaluating dipped joint severity with an accuracy of 84% and mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.25 mm, and the RNN model is suitable for evaluating settlement severity with an accuracy of 99% and mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.58 mm.

Sentiment analysis has gained a lot of attention from researchers in the last year because it has been widely applied to a variety of application domains such as business, government, education, sports, tourism, biomedicine, and telecommunication services. Sentiment analysis is an automated computational method for studying or evaluating sentiments, feelings, and emotions expressed as comments, feedbacks, or critiques. The sentiment analysis process can be automated using machine learning techniques, which analyses text patterns faster. The supervised machine learning technique is the most used mechanism for sentiment analysis. The proposed work discusses the flow of sentiment analysis process and investigates the common supervised machine learning techniques such as multinomial naive bayes, Bernoulli naive bayes, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, K-nearest neighbor, decision tree, and deep learning techniques such as Long Short-Term Memory and Convolution Neural Network. The work examines such learning methods using standard data set and the experimental results of sentiment analysis demonstrate the performance of various classifiers taken in terms of the precision, recall, F1-score, RoC-Curve, accuracy, running time and k fold cross validation and helps in appreciating the novelty of the several deep learning techniques and also giving the user an overview of choosing the right technique for their application.

Financial sectors are lucrative cyber-attack targets because of their immediate financial gain. As a result, financial institutions face challenges in developing systems that can automatically identify security breaches and separate fraudulent transactions from legitimate transactions. Today, organizations widely use machine learning techniques to identify any fraudulent behavior in customers' transactions. However, machine learning techniques are often challenging because of financial institutions' confidentiality policy, leading to not sharing the customer transaction data. This chapter discusses some crucial challenges of handling cybersecurity and fraud in the financial industry and building machine learning-based models to address those challenges. The authors utilize an open-source e-commerce transaction dataset to illustrate the forensic processes by creating a machine learning model to classify fraudulent transactions. Overall, the chapter focuses on how the machine learning models can help detect and prevent fraudulent activities in the financial sector in the age of cybersecurity.
