To enhance the privacy of messages in Internet of Vehicles (IoVs), it is critical to preserve the communication security between Road Side Unit (RSU) and numerous vehicles. The primitive of signcryption is introduced to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and unforgeability of transmitted messages. Nevertheless, the existing signcryption schemes fail to achieve a balance between security and efficiency. In this paper, we construct a Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) empowered certificateless aggregate signcryption scheme with key agreement (CASKA-CRT). As the vehicle joins and leaves dynamically, the proposed scheme can ensure the dynamic security via one modulo division operation. Besides, the certificateless aggregate signcryption and key agreement mechanisms are embedded. The former idea can both address the certificate management and key escrow problems, while the latter technology can create authentication as a premise of secure communication. Based on this construction, the hash-to-group operation and bilinear pairing are avoided, to realize a faster verification with the increased number of messages. Moreover, the security of proposed scheme is proved under the random oracle model. Finally, the performance analysis demonstrates the advantage of CASKA-CRT in terms of security and reliability over related works. IEEE

Building an effective resilient supply chain system (RSCS) is critical and necessary to reduce the risk of supply chain disruptions in unexpected scenarios such as COVID-19 pandemic and trade wars. To overcome the impact of insufficient raw material supply on the supply chain in mass disruption scenarios, this study proposes a novel RSCS considering product design changes (PDC). An RSCS domain model is first developed from the perspective of PDC based on a general conceptual framework, i.e., function-context-behavior-principle-state-structure (FCBPSS), which can portray complex systems under unpredictable situations. Specifically, the interaction among the structure, state and behavior of the infrastructure system and substance system is captured, and then a quantitative analysis of the change impact process is presented to evaluate the resilience of both the product and supply chain. Next, a case study is conducted to demonstrate the PDC strategy and to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the RSCS domain model. The results show that the restructured RSCS based on the proposed strategy and model can remedy the huge losses caused by the unavailability of raw materials.

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic event-triggered platoon control for intelligent vehicles (IVs) under denial of service (DoS) attacks and parameter uncertainty. DoS attacks disrupt vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, leading to the destabilization of vehicle formations. To alleviate the burden of the V2V communication network and enhance the tracking performance in the presence of DoS attacks and parameter uncertainty, a resilient and dynamic event-triggered mechanism is proposed. In contrast to the static event-triggering mechanism (STEM), this approach leverages the internal dynamic variable to further save communication resources. Subsequently, a method is developed for designing the desired triggering mechanism. Following this, a co-design framework is constructed to guarantee robust and resilient control against DoS attacks, with the analysis of eliminating Zeno behavior. Lastly, extensive simulations are presented to show the superiority of the proposed method in terms of enhancing platoon resilience and robustness and improving communication efficiency. IEEE

Autonomous mission capabilities with optimal path are stringent requirements for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) navigation in diverse applications. The proposed research framework is to identify an energy-efficient optimal path to achieve the designated missions for the navigation of UAVs in various constrained and denser obstacle prone regions. Hence, the present work is aimed to develop an optimal energy-efficient path planning algorithm through combining well known modified ant colony optimization algorithm (MACO) and a variant of A*, namely the memory-efficient A* algorithm (MEA*) for avoiding the obstacles in three dimensional (3D) environment and arrive at an optimal path with minimal energy consumption. The novelty of the proposed method relies on integrating the above two efficient algorithms to optimize the UAV path planning task. The basic design of this study is, that by utilizing an improved version of the pheromone strategy in MACO, the local trap and premature convergence are minimized, and also an optimal path is found by means of reward and penalty mechanism. The sole notion of integrating the MEA* algorithm arises from the fact that it is essential to overcome the stringent memory requirement of conventional A* algorithm and to resolve the issue of tracking only the edges of the grids. Combining the competencies of MACO and MEA*, a hybrid algorithm is proposed to avoid obstacles and find an efficient path. Simulation studies are performed by varying the number of obstacles in a 3D domain. The real-time flight trials are conducted experimentally using a UAV by implementing the attained optimal path. A comparison of the total energy consumption of UAV with theoretical analysis is accomplished. The significant finding of this study is that, the MACO-MEA* algorithm achieved 21% less energy consumption and 55% shorter execution time than the MACO-A*. moreover, the path traversed in both simulation and experimental methods is 99% coherent with each other.
