Searchable encryption based on a chaotic system and AES algorithm

10.11591/ijaas.v14.i3.pp975-984
Fairouz Sherali , Falah Sarhan
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to computing resources, such as storage and processing power. This technology allows businesses to scale efficiently while reducing infrastructure costs. However, protecting the security and privacy of data has grown to be a top priority. This is where enhancing cloud security with searchable encryption (SE) is crucial. SE effectively secures users’ sensitive data while preserving searchability on the cloud server side. It enables the cloud server to search via encrypted data without disclosing information in plaintext data. SE uses different encryption methods to encrypt data before uploading it to servers. The advanced encryption standard (AES) is a common algorithm for encrypting this data. In this paper, a novel SE method has been presented. The technique exploits the properties of the chaotic map to generate an AES key, which makes the AES algorithm more secure for encrypting the searchable index and uploaded files. We implement and test our method with real data from files. The experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly satisfy a higher level of security as compared to other schemes.

The company has a problem of ineffectiveness in the layout of the raw material warehouse due to the use of storage methods that ignore factors such as the type, dimensions, and condition of the goods. This reduces the optimal function of the warehouse and increases the time to retrieve goods. This research aims to redesign the suitable and practical layout of the raw material warehouse by considering its form and function, as well as filling methodological gaps from previous research. The method used is class-based storage. Based on ABC analysis, the category with the highest value is class C goods, with 73 units. Meanwhile, from the fast, slow, non-moving (FSN) analysis, class F (fast-moving) goods have the highest frequency of movement, with a movement percentage of 63% for 10 units of goods. The warehouse slotting analysis shows an increase in the number of shelves from nine to 15 shelves with five different shelf models and layout changes in raw material warehouses 1 and 2. The class-based storage method results in a more organized layout, efficient movement of goods, and faster picking time to optimize warehouse functions.

Oil-immersed transformers are subjected to electrical, thermal, and mechanical stresses over time, which inevitably affect the insulating oil and paper insulation. The presence of sulphur corrosion also degrades the insulating oil and paper insulation. Sulphur corrosion in insulating oils has been a prevalent problem for many years, as it culminates in the failure of oil-immersed transformers. The longevity of oil-immersed transformers is dependent on the integrity of the insulating oil and paper insulation, which can deteriorate owing to sulphur corrosion. The occurrence and accumulation of copper sulphide (Cu2S) can result in transformer malfunctions, which is a significant issue for transformer manufacturers and operators. This paper provides a concise overview of the effects of sulphur corrosion, its detection methods, as well as its mitigation strategies. It is believed that this paper will enhance the understanding of sulphur corrosion in insulating oils, provide the best practices for sulphur corrosion management, and serve as guidance on enhancing transformer reliability and performance.

Pipe saddle support is a structure commonly used to support horizontal steel pipe. It prevents direct contact between the pipe and the support. Pipe saddle support can experience displacement due to pipe movement and insufficient stress analysis. Given these concerns, conducting a load test is essential to determine the stress on pipe saddle supports. However, a universal testing machine (UTM) is not suitable for this purpose due to the size limitation. Therefore, this study proposed a test rig setup for the pipe saddle support load test. The test rig consists of a portal frame secured by an underground locking system featuring a strong floor. Additionally, an actual pipe is utilized to replicate actual loading conditions on the pipe saddle support. The applied load is measured using a load cell, with a custom-designed bracket to ensure precise load transfer. Finally, the pipe saddle support specimen is bolted to a base support to maintain stability during the load test. Stress analysis using finite element analysis (FEA) demonstrated that the test rig is suitable for conducting load tests on the specimens with a maximum force of 80 kN. FEA confirmed that the test rig operates within a safety factor of 1.3.

Efficient online transactions now thrive through websites (e-commerce) and mobile apps (m-commerce). With the growth of m-commerce, marketers aim to boost profits by understanding impulsive buying behavior. This study investigates factors influencing online impulse buying (OIB) in m-commerce by analyzing key variables. Data were gathered via questionnaires from 449 Indonesian consumers who had made digital payments and impulsive purchases using smartphones. The framework includes sales promotion (SP), attractive advertising (EA), and mobile digital payment systems (MDPS) as situational factors; hedonic shopping motivation (HSM) as a motivational factor; and impulsiveness (I) and smartphone addiction (SA) as personal traits. Analysis used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), with gender, income, and smartphone usage time as control variables. Results show that EA, MDPS, HSM, I, and SA significantly influence OIB, while SP does not. For consumer segmentation, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) outperformed ISOmap and principal component analysis (PCA), achieving a silhouette score of 0.72. A paired t-test (p<0.01) confirmed t-SNE’s superior clustering accuracy. These findings reveal that t-SNE better captures consumer segmentation patterns, helping businesses refine marketing strategies and deepen their understanding of psychological drivers behind impulsive m-commerce purchases.

The pitch period is a key component of many speech analysis research projects. In real-world applications, voice data is frequently gathered in noisy surround- ings, therefore algorithms must be able to manage background noise well in order to estimate pitch accurately. Despite advancements, many state-of–the-art algorithms struggle to deliver adequate results when faced with low signal-to- noise ratios (SNRs) in processing noisy speech signals. This research proposes an effective concept specifically designed for speech processing applications, particularly in noisy conditions. To achieve this goal, we introduce a fundamen- tal frequency extraction algorithm designed to tolerate non-stationary changes in the amplitude and frequency of the input signal. In order to improve the extrac- tion accuracy, we also use a cumulative power spectrum (CPS) based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) rather than conventional power spectrum. We enhance extraction accuracy of our method by utilizing shorter sub-frames of the input signal to mitigate the noise characteristics present in speech signals. According to the experimental results, our proposed technique demonstrates superior per- formance in noisy conditions compared to other existing state-of-the-art meth- ods without utilizing any kind of post-processing techniques.

This study describes and illustrates how sensorless location estimation is achieved through the application of artificial neural network (ANN) control. Control stepper motor torque directly. Using stepper motors directly leads to a lot of problems; therefore, automated control systems are now commonly preferred. Stepper motors have several drawbacks when used directly, including the potential for steps to occasionally be missing while the motors are running. When physical sensors are not available, the proposed method estimates rotor position and speed using electrical signals and ANN algorithms. Simulation and experiment results demonstrate accurate position estimation (±1.5°) and efficient torque control. The sensorless direct torque control (DTC)-ANN approach increases the performance, reliability, and cost of stepper motors in robotics, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, and 3D printing.

The symmetric MLI design is selected for its effectiveness in minimizing harmonics and enhancing fault tolerance in high-power scenarios, where the use of power semiconductor converters can introduce complications. The proposed inverter configuration achieves thirty-three voltage levels, optimizing power quality while using insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) semiconductor switches. The phase opposition disposition (POD) control method is applied to trigger necessary switching signals for the inverter's components. To ensure high output voltage for the MLI, a boost converter is employed, and the overall system is tested with an R load. The effectiveness of the design is validated through MATLAB/Simulink simulations, which demonstrate a notable reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD).
