   Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) has become a widely studied modality for device-free sensing as it captures fine-grained wireless channel variations that can be mapped to human motion and presence while avoiding the explicit visual disclosure typical of vision-based systems. CSI-based pipelines have been explored for human activity and gesture recognition, fall detection, gait analysis, pose-related inference, and indoor localization. Despite strong results in controlled settings, practical deployment remains difficult due to measurement noise, sensitivity to environmental dynamics, multi-user interference, and system-level constraints in data acquisition and real-time processing. This article surveys machine learning methods forWi-Fi CSI sensing and analyzes more than 65 representative models, connecting algorithmic design choices with implementable end-to-end system design. We introduce a …

   Road safety, congestion, pollution, and data security are critical challenges in the development of smart transportation systems. Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) form the backbone of such systems by enabling real-time communication, accident management, and traffic monitoring. However, the vast data generated in VANETs is increasingly vulnerable in the post-quantum era, where traditional cryptographic methods like RSA, ECC, and DSA fail to withstand quantum attacks. To address this, we propose the integration of the NIST-qualified Falcon algorithm, a lattice-based post-quantum cryptographic scheme, to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and resilience of vehicular communication. The proposed scheme is implemented and evaluated in a Vehicular Network Cloud (VNC) environment on different computational platforms, including Apple Silicon M1 Max and AMD Ryzen systems.

Current solutions are limited to local blacklists and lack a global mechanism for information exchange among operators. Efforts by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) to implement a common blacklist have been constrained by costs, resulting in fragmented and ineffective IMEI management systems. To address these challenges, we have developed a blockchain-based framework that uses the decentralized consensus and tamper-proof nature of distributed ledger technology to enable a unified and globally accessible IMEI blacklist. The framework is implemented on a permissioned blockchain deployed on the Sepolia testnet, utilizing the Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism to ensure fast and secure validation in a multi …

   The rapidly developing discipline of quantum computing (QC) employs ideas from quantum physics to improve the performance of traditional computers and other devices. Because of the dramatically improved speed at which it processes data, it can be applied to various issues. QC has many potential applications, but three of the most exciting applications are unstructured search, quantum simulation, and network optimisation. Several existing technologies, such as machine learning, may benefit from its increased speed and precision. In this study, the authors explore how the principles of QC might be applied to the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve its accuracy, speed, and security. Several approaches exist for achieving this goal, such as network optimisation in IoT using QC, faster computation at IoT endpoints, securing IoT using QC, quantum sensors for IoT, quantum digital marketing, and quantum-secured smart locks.

   In a classical computer, the computation is based on transistors which encode the information in bits and usually vulnerable to attack by professional attackers. In quantum computing, the computation is based on qubits. Using single-qubit the information is encoded in the combination of two bits. Quantum computing is a completely new technology that holds all the characteristic of quantum mechanics to solve a particular problem faster than a classical computer. For solving these problems, a scientist uses a “logical qubit” since classical computer bits consist of mechanical relays or vacuum tubes which is possible to flip unexpectedly. It is possible to create quantum algorithms using qubit that run faster than classical algorithms and these algorithms reduce the time complexity and also it is impossible for the attackers to attack. There are some most popular algorithms which are possible in the quantum world, and …
