The Reality of Technologies for Cyber Security Challenges

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a buzz word in the cyber world. It is still a developing science in multiple facets according to the challenges thrown by 21st century. Use of AI has become inseparable from human life. In this day and age one cannot imagine a world without AI as it has much significant impact on human life. The main objective of AI is to develop the technology based activities which represents the human knowledge in order to solve problems. Simply AI is study of how an individual think, work, learn and decide in any scenario of life, whether it may be related to problem solving or learning new things or thinking rationally or to arrive at a solution etc. AI is in every area of human life, naming a few it is into gaming, language processing, speech recognition, expert system, vision system, hand writing recognition, intelligence robots, financial transactions and what not, every activity of human life has become a subset of AI. In spite of numerous uses, AI can also used for destroying the human life, that is the reason human inference is required to monitor the AI activities. Cyber crimes has become quite common and become a daily news item. It is not just a problem faced in one country, it is across the world. Without strong security measures, AI is meaningless as it can be easily accessible by others. It has become a big threat for governments, banks, multinational companies through online attacks by hackers. Lot of individual and organizational data is exploited by hackers and it becomes a big threat to the cyber world. In this connection research in the area of AI and cyber security has gained more importance in the recent times and it is ever lasting also as it is a dynamic and sensitive issue linked to human life.

The recent proliferation of embedded cyber components in modern physical systems [1] has generated a variety of new security risks which threaten not only cyberspace, but our physical environment as well. Whereas earlier security threats resided primarily in cyberspace, the increasing marriage of digital technology with mechanical systems in cyber-physical systems (CPS), suggests the need for more advanced generalized CPS security measures. To address this problem, in this paper we consider the first step toward an improved security model: detecting the security attack. Using logical truth tables, we have developed a generalized algorithm for intrusion detection in CPS for systems which can be defined over discrete set of valued states. Additionally, a robustness algorithm is given which determines the level of security of a discrete-valued CPS against varying combinations of multiple signal alterations. These algorithms, when coupled with encryption keys which disallow multiple signal alteration, provide for a generalized security methodology for both cyber-security and cyber-physical systems.

Privacy Violation

Recent advancements in computing systems and wireless communications have made healthcare systems more efficient than before. Modern healthcare devices can monitor and manage different health conditions of patients automatically without any manual intervention from medical professionals. Additionally, the use of implantable medical devices, body area networks, and Internet of Things technologies in healthcare systems improve the overall patient monitoring and treatment process. However, these systems are complex in software and hardware, and optimizing between security, privacy, and treatment is crucial for healthcare systems because any security or privacy violation can lead to severe effects on patients’ treatments and overall health conditions. Indeed, the healthcare domain is increasingly facing security challenges and threats due to numerous design flaws and the lack of proper security measures in healthcare devices and applications. In this article, we explore various security and privacy threats to healthcare systems and discuss the consequences of these threats. We present a detailed survey of different potential attacks and discuss their impacts. Furthermore, we review the existing security measures proposed for healthcare systems and discuss their limitations. Finally, we conclude the article with future research directions toward securing healthcare systems against common vulnerabilities.
