Reducing Line Loss

In a three-phase circuit, line loss is an indicator of energy dissipated as heat due to the resistance of transmission lines. To address this, incorporating transformers into the system—a step-up transformer at the source and a step-down transformer at the load—is a strategic solution. Two three-phase transformers are introduced to improve this.
With a step-up transformer at the source, the voltage is increased, thereby reducing the current in the transmission lines since power loss in...

This study presents a lightweight image encryption scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The novel approach uses dynamic S-boxes and fuzzy logic, offering robust security with low computational overhead for resource-limited environments.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Cryptography
  • Wireless Sensor Networks

Background:

  • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to data breaches due to limited resources and open environments.
  • Existing encryption methods often have high computational overhead, unsuitable for WSNs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a lightweight and secure image encryption scheme tailored for WSNs.
  • To enhance data confidentiality in resource-constrained WSN environments.

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid approach combining Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for dynamic S-box generation and a fuzzy logic system optimized by the Wild Horse Optimization (WHO) algorithm.
  • Utilizing a 256x256 hash-based key to drive S-boxes, with fuzzy logic for pixel permutation, substitution, XOR, and shift register operations.
