The Internet of Things (IoT) and real-time flexibility improve people’s lives, and IoT applications rely heavily on multimedia sensors and devices. An interconnected network of IoT multimedia devices has made the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). It creates massive data distinct from what the Internet of Things (IoT) produced. Smart traffic monitoring and smart hospitals are only a few examples of real-time deployment applications. IoMT data and decision-making must be made quickly since it directly impacts human life. The security heterogeneity of optimization issues is a significant challenge for enabling multimedia applications on the IoT. The IoMT has difficulty achieving low-cost data collecting while maintaining data security. An Internet of Multimedia Things in a wireless environment (IoMT-WE) system decreases the bandwidth and privacy risk caused by the revocation list, ensures the integrity of batch verification information, and corresponds with Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) security performance. The proposed method uses random subsampling and chaotic convolution to collect numerous images. The sampling method is safe since the measurement matrix is controlled by chaos. As part of the IoMT architecture, wireless multimedia sensor nodes can be more easily deployed over the long term for real-time multimedia. The Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN) comprises nodes that can capture both multimedia and non-multimedia data. The ioMT-WE system has been tested and found to be secure and effective.
Keywords: Wireless environment, multimedia applications, internet of multimedia things, VANET, chaotic convolution, and sampling.
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are swiftly created and widely applied as information technology progresses in the environment, transportation, medical care, agriculture, and other fields [1]. In the IoT, openness, and data sharing provide tailored and high-quality services for consumers [2]. Users’ real-time location and the public disclosure of their mobile phone numbers could restrict the development of the IoT [3]. Because of this, it is of tremendous practical importance to investigate the Internet of Things security performance [4]. The Multimedia Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is one of the IoT-related disciplines that have received substantial interest from academia, business, and government [5]. There must be a constant flow of information from the vehicle’s location and speed to the vehicle’s direction and velocity to enhance traffic [6]. Smart traffic monitoring and security applications that use Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) need safe end-to-end data streaming [7].
Privacy and security must be addressed for a networked system of real-world physical things [8]. Additionally, the multimedia streams that accompany the objects must be protected from snoopers [9]. Authentication and access control approaches can address security and privacy concerns for objects and their data under the WMSN concept [10]. Using these methods, harmful users cannot access network resources, and legal users cannot get unauthorized access to resources [11]. On the other hand, asymmetric encryption includes cypher suites requiring computationally intensive processes [12]. Existing multimedia sensors incorporated in an IoMT paradigm can not meet these demands due to their resource limitations [13]. Direct connection between sensor nodes and end-users is the most contemporary WSN/IoT method [14]. A key component of any IoT/IoMT system is the ability to communicate from machine to machine (M2M) [15].
IoT multimedia applications increasingly rely on security as a vital component [16]. The Internet of Things (IoT) is vulnerable to security threats from both applications and humans because the IoT is designed to be able to execute user-implemented applications widely [17]. It is possible to hack into applications and sensors, and hateful people can access the Internet of Things (IoT) and perform violent service assaults. A legitimate user can tamper with shared multimedia material or overly utilize network resources to interrupt services accessible to other legitimate users [18–20]. The present Internet of Things (IoT) does not have a dedicated security mechanism to deal with the threats above [21]. As a result, it is crucial and required to implement a security strategy to protect multimedia applications streaming over the IoT [22].
This paper’s safety performance can be validated and contrasted with alternative approaches. For the study on the security performance of the Internet of multimedia things, it is believed that privacy protection can be implemented under the Internet of things. Four light handshake messages are transmitted to protect the transmission using Advanced Encryption Standard, and end-to-end communications can be seamlessly delivered using a revolutionary channel allocation mechanism.
The main contribution of this paper is,
• To improve vehicle safety and efficiency and fundamentally address the existing traffic congestion problem, train drivers and traffic management staff can acquire real-time information from other vehicles beyond their visual range through radios in their vehicles.
• The IoMT-WE architecture has two layers of security protection: chaotic permutation-diffusion encryption and a chaotic encryption control during sampling.
• The IoMT-WE enables multimedia sensor nodes in one cluster to access timeslots and channels from other clusters. A member node of a cluster can request a channel swap to avoid having to wait longer for a turn to send data to the head of another cluster.
Accordingly, the rest of the proposed method can be organized. Describe the relevant research in Section 2 of this paper. A summary of the planned study is provided in Section 3. Section 4 details the simulation results and discussion. Section 5 concludes the report by going into great depth on the observations and developments that have taken place.
Several personal, commercial, and military applications use fibre optic networks as a common data transfer platform. Fibre optic networks have many advantages, and security remains a significant concern in their design [23]. Fibre-optic communication security was the focus of several state-of-the-art developments. Compression followed by encryption is an efficient approach to sending data efficiently and securely. This research presented the low complexity compression-based optimal homomorphic encryption (LCCE-OHE) approach for secure fibre optic transmission due to this motivation. The experimental results showed that the LCCE-OHE approach outperformed the competition in compression efficiency and had high packet loss. Real-time control and intelligent information provision for people in transportation, healthcare, smart buildings, public safety, and other fields are all possible due to these systems. Smart city programs could gather private information [24]. However, new security and privacy problems occurred when the architecture was built out. When developing the applications, these safety and privacy issues must be considered less key sensitivity.
The acceptability and widespread usage of IoT in healthcare depend on the security and privacy of patient medical data. The health data is collected from sensors and safely sent to near edge devices. In order to allow healthcare professionals easy access, devices finally send the data to the cloud [25]. Recently, the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile health care (m-healthcare) applications have been able to offer online services in many various dimensions. For safe storage and access, many medical systems also make advantage of cloud computing technologies. So, a new Cloud and IoT based mobile health care application to provide superior services over the existing online healthcare applications [26].
Consequently, they must be taken into account while making decisions. Using the Internet of Things (IoT), smart city developers’ applications could focus on the most crucial features while addressing the most pressing privacy and security issues. Information-centric smart city applications face security and privacy issues that need to be solved in the future.
Wireless communication was vulnerable to various intermediate attacks because of its unique nature. These include interference, priority violations, and spectrum poisoning. Attacks such as this pose security and privacy concerns while facilitating data transfer. By taking into account exploratory, evasion, causative, and priority violation assault, a novel approach to autoencoder deep neural network (AENN) were already devised [27]. The novel method attempted to identify the transmission results utilized to anticipate the transmission scenario, whether a jam data transfer or a sensing data transmission. Once the neural network verified that the channel was legitimate, data was sent through the network and high running time. Under the described approach, the system reduced numerous attacks on energy consumption at various stages. The appeal was due to their wide range of studies in energy efficiency, data transmission, coverage, connection, load balancing, security, dependability, scalability, and network lifespan [28]. One of the most important contributions of this research would be to present a short overview of clustering in wireless sensor networks based on three main categories such as classical, optimization, and machine learning approaches (MLA). Performance measurements and parameters were supplied for each category, and a comparative evaluation of topics such as routing protocols, dependability, and attacks in resilience was reviewed.
WSN with IoT manages all network protocols, topology, deployment of nodes, location technology, and network security. This article used the Bird Swarm Optimized Quasi-Affine Evolutionary Algorithm (BSOQAEA) to tackle the node placement problem in sensor networks [29]. Health support systems confront considerable obstacles include a lack of proper medical information, avoidable mistakes, data security risks, incorrect diagnoses, and delayed communication. Here, a wearable sensor system that is integrated with Internet of Things (IoT)-based big data mining analysis for the healthcare industry to address this problem [30]. The process was significantly sped up and high in optimization issues using a dynamic space reduction technique. Node location accuracy, minimum distance, and location error were utilized to quantify the system’s efficiency. The IoMT-WE has been suggested to overcome the existing methods. The proposed method approach has recommended improving running time, optimization issues, attacks in resilience, packet loss, and critical sensitivity.
IoT is implemented in agriculture through precision farming by using robots, drones, sensors, and computer imagery along with analytical tools to get insights and monitor the crops. Farms use physical equipment to monitor and collect data, which is typically used to obtain insightful information. Intelligent data gathering, waste reduction, process automation, crop diagnostics, soil improvement, and irrigation demand are benefits of adopting IoT in agriculture. Whereas, with the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, a smart health monitoring system that can analyze a person’s temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and levels of oxygen is being produced. There are several more applications for IoT devices in hospitals besides patient health monitoring. Patient infection can be avoided with the use of IoT-enabled hygiene monitoring equipment. IoT devices are also useful for asset managerial activities like controlling pharmacy inventories and checking refrigerator temperatures as well as controlling humidity and temperature in the environment. The memory and processing power of IoT devices are constrained, and such protocols and a common communication stack enable these devices to communicate successfully. Technical advancements in IoT operating systems (OS), data-driven intelligence in wireless networks, scheduling approaches for heterogeneous content-centric IoT, congestion avoidance tactics in IoT utilizing data science, VANETS, and IoT adoption in agricultural and healthcare IoT all benefit from these technological advances.
Figure 1 Internet of multimedia things based wireless environment.
Figure 1 shows the Internet of Multimedia Things-based Wireless Environment. The IoMT is distinct from the IoT. More significant memory, more processing power, and a greater need for bandwidth are required. An interactive method to provide information to a user is through multimedia data. It contains a variety of data types, including textual, audio, and visual data. The major concerns with multimedia data are querying, modelling, performance, and storage. Multimedia production is more expensive than other types of production since it uses several media. Real-time deployments include industrial IoT, smart cities, smart homes, smart grids, smart agriculture, and smart hospitals. The timely and accurate transmission of data is a crucial feature of IoMT. The network must have a high quality of service (QoS) to meet these objectives. Quality of service (QoS) requirements are technical requirements that describe the system’s quality of characteristics including performance, availability, scalability, and serviceability. Business requirements that are mentioned in QoS requirements are influenced by business demands. QoS improves network performance by controlling bandwidth and giving additional resources to high-priority applications with efficient system requirements. Quality of experience (QoE) refers to the perception of QoS by the end-user (QoE). The people who utilize QoE objectively are challenging to assess as it fluctuates so much depending on the situation. Quality of Service (QoS), which represents the principle that hardware and software qualities may be assessed, improved, and perhaps guaranteed, is related to QoE but differentiates from QoS. In contrast, QoE transmits both subjective and objective user experiences. However, service providers use the network mean opinion score (NMOS) to measure the subjective quality of experience (QoE) of their users (MOS). A Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is a metric used to quantify how well-received an activity or experience was overall according to a human reviewer. It is also referred to as the mathematical average of all individual “values on a predefined scale that a subject assigns to his assessment of the performance of a system quality”. These evaluations are often acquired through a subjective quality assessment test, but they can also be predicted by an algorithm. Media data is growing at an exponential rate. Transmitting, processing, storing, and sharing data now comes with additional difficulties. Edge, fog, and cloud devices need new processing approaches. For multimedia data storage, new compression and decompression algorithms are being developed. Low-power and lossy networks, such as those found in the Internet of Things, use RPL as their standard routing protocol. Low power and lossy networks (LLNs) are a type of network in which the routers and their connectivity are both limited. LLN routers often function with restrictions on processor speed, memory, and energy (battery power). They have unstable interconnects with high loss rates and poor data speeds.
The Internet of Things (IoT) properties facilitate multimedia communication, and multimedia applications’ bandwidth requirements and latency sensitivities make this communication difficult. Innovations in multimedia traffic management have been spurred by IoT’s explosive rise in multimedia traffic. IoMT devices require larger memory and greater processing power to process the data they collect. Network dynamics, heterogeneity, and rigorous Quality of Service (QoS) requirements over resource-constrained IoMT offer enormous hurdles to multimedia communication. The implementation of a network-on-chip architecture can achieve improved customer satisfaction. Multimedia traffic refers to any sort of audio/visual material, whether supplied in real-time or on demand. IoT innovation is actively influencing consumer and corporate trends. The majority of the innovations made both before and during the outbreak interact with the Internet of Things either directly or indirectly. IoT advancements are generating new opportunities across a variety of industries, including healthcare, retail, automotive, and manufacturing. Multimedia in traffic monitoring, real-time multimedia, and multimedia in security are briefly explained below,
Security applications in-vehicle networks enable users to avoid risky circumstances depending on the status of surrounding vehicles. Beacons are security messages that are frequently and locally emitted from surrounding cars that can be collected by each vehicle. Vehicles release hazardous substances into the atmosphere, which have adverse effects on ecosystem health and human health. Transportation systems contribute to both decreasing air quality and a changing climate through emissions from burning fossil fuels. Additionally, transportation contributes to air pollution, water pollution, and ecological damage through a variety of direct and indirect interactions. There must be frequent transmission and distribution of traditional vehicle data to accomplish a high share amongst vehicles. In general, the privacy and security of the IoT and VANET are substantially compromised by this practice. The expansion of this industry is limited by the insufficiency of multimodal security performance analysis. With this research path, the multimedia VANET network is paired with IoT security research and establishing a batch authentication technique for privacy protection. Authentication is the process of identifying a device, whereas authorization provides permissions. These procedures are used by IoT devices to provide role-based access control and verify that only the access and permissions required for a task are provided.
The Internet of Things (IoT) objects collect and aggregate data elements related to their services, which represents a concern about privacy. Security and privacy are recognized as two important challenges in VANETs. To protect communication between V2V and V2I, security concerns such as confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation are considered.
Figure 2 Modeling of a multimedia VANET system.
Figure 2 shows the modelling of a multimedia VANET system. There are three types of infrastructure in the Multimedia VANET: a trusted authority (TA), roadside units (RSUs), and onboard units (OBUs). A trusted authority node has been granted permission and is in charge of maintaining an eye on the behaviour and patterns of other nodes. TA, the self-organization network registration and certification centre for fixed RSUs and OBUs, provides value-added services as the trusted management centre. There are several management domains that TA breaks down. The security channel transmits the domain-specific security parameters to the fixed RSUs. Storage, energy, and immunity to capture are common features of TAs. There are wired and wireless OBU connections to fixed RSUs. Using stationary RSUs as a bridge between OBUs and TA is secure. This information can be sent to all certified RSU groups when they have authenticated their identities with the RSUs placed in place. Data on value-added services can be sent to the automobile through TA and transferred to fixed RSUs, an intermediary.
To secure vehicles and users, OBUs broadcast real-time traffic information to OBUs to get TA value-added services. TPDs (tamper-proof devices) are fitted in each vehicle to store and group keys and other sensitive items. For batch certification using Anonymous Batch, Data from many vehicles is sent simultaneously to fixed RSUs while a single vehicle receives traffic information from other vehicles. An aggressive attack is unavoidably impossible to defend against, regardless of the security measures in place. As a result, this study’s security performance analysis does not require sharing private data about vehicles or users.
The trust authority follows these steps to get the system set up.
Trust authority selects two random integers to generate the public key.
Trust authority selects one random number as the private key to generate the private key.
For example, RGB-2 is used as the hash function . TA chooses the hash function as the hash value.
Certificate trust authority, is issued for the TRV in the domain by trust authority, as follows:
The public key that is generated by randomly selecting an integer between 1 and the constant is given as .
Trust authority provides signatures such as the following sigma including .
The set is the private key for . Trust authority then uses this random number to construct the public key , .
Assume that the trust authority can provide a certain number of pseudonyms to each vehicle during the annual vehicle inspection by storing them and that the time slot is split according to the length of a certain year. denotes the slot’s length in units of the overall system. As shown in Equation (1), D time slots can be generated, each time slot’s length being . Two hash chains can be used to produce the vehicle in the pseudonym time slot as follows:
(1) |
and are the seed generation of the hash above chain, respectively.
It is possible to verify the vehicle’s authenticity and the roadside unit using pre-stored materials and parameters. In the system model that has been deliberate and experimentally proven, there are two forms of batch verification : One vehicle receives traffic data from another vehicle in a domain.
(2) |
As shown in Equation (2), while stands for the public key of the organization that issued the certificate trust authority, the public key of the recipient, , stands for ’s public key. After receiving information, performs the following actions are stated as
(3) |
As shown in Equation (3), are all variables, is a fixed value. Group key is calculated using the seed . A batch verification of the correctness of information is described as,
As shown in Equation (3), is the number of values is possible to verify a domain’s information in the cross-domain phase since holds the group key . Verifying information from both domains is possible when , obtains the group key discards after the cross-domain is complete. The self-healing group key is changed regularly as part of this procedure as follows,
(5) |
As shown in Equation (5), if the domain has a revocation vehicle or group key expiry, can update the roadside unit’s group key. The pseudonym of the revoked vehicle is represented by , . Whereas the vehicles cancelled in the cycle are indicated by and . Two polynomials reflect the period revocation and hidden polynomials and pj 1(x).
The term Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected objects capable of detecting and acting on their surroundings. They can communicate with one another through networking and the web. On the other hand, these studies do not examine the needs and constraints given by multimedia material. IoT-based architectures and protocols are being developed to facilitate multimedia content processing and transmission due to research on multimedia content, such as audio, video, and pictures. The current IoT architecture must be redesigned and turned into a new concept called the IoMT to handle real-time multimedia services and applications.
Figure 3 A network visualization.
Figure 3(a): Request for a channel reservation.
Figures 3 and 3(a) show a network’s visualization and request for a channel reservation. The multimedia nodes are dispersed at random in the seamless and authorized multimedia streaming framework (SAMS). The location of the base station is used to gather data. As previously mentioned, SAMS is composed of a setup and a steady-state phase. Two authentication stages are implemented during the setup process to keep the network safe from intruders. As each node successfully authenticates, the clusters are formed, and each node is assigned to one of the cluster heads as its primary point of contact. The steady-state phase focuses on the continuous transmission of information inside the cluster and across surrounding clusters. In the star topology, a hub is used to link every computer. All other nodes are connected using one cable, which is referred to as the central node. It is most often used on LAN networks since they are cheaper and simple to set up. The central nodes take data from their local sub-network and send it to other central nodes on a different carrier frequency while being powered by the structure’s electrical grid. Nodes on separate segments cannot communicate with one another directly, but by building a bridge across the segments, communication between the nodes is made possible. When a packet is designed for a host on the opposite side, the bridge allows it to transmit the information. The cluster’s central node receives multimedia data from all of the nodes. The member nodes can record images and video files. A video is a collection of unique frames processed consecutively. There are 10 video frames in a GoP, and a sequence of samples is used to process the Group of Pictures (GoP). The buffer threshold for each node is achieved after six GoPs.
The data is dropped, or a channel reservation request is sent to the nearest cluster head, depending on the behaviour of the nodes in the cluster. A member node can broadcast data to the base station through its own or a nearby cluster head, and a channel allocation request is started by a member node in the latter scenario. Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) are implemented in severe conditions and are vulnerable to numerous threats and assaults compared to conventional networks. The development of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) has changed the focus from conventional scalar wireless sensor networks to networks containing multimedia devices that can retrieve scalar sensor data as well as video, audio, and image data. Due to the accessibility of low-cost CMOS cameras and microphones, as well as the substantial advancements in distributed signal processing and multimedia source coding techniques, WMSNs can deliver multimedia material. These networks do not support complex and resource-intensive security mechanisms because of their limited energy supply. Our investigation into the attack models in WSNs/WMSNs and the different harmful behaviours that endanger SAMS’s operating mechanism helps us assess the security of this network management system. Retransmission of previously sent packets by an adversary reduces the freshness of data and wastes network resources. Disk operating Systems (DoS) aim to prevent valid nodes from accessing network resources by interrupting the services offered by a specific cluster head. Flooding the cluster heads with too many requests is a common way to cause DoS. As Sybil Explains that an attacker uses several identities to gain unauthorized access to network resources. Eavesdropping an attacker steals data in transit from legitimate nodes to eavesdrop on the real-time conversation.
Node within a cluster continually detects the environment and saves any collected data in its buffer, which is constrained by a predetermined threshold given as,
(6) |
As shown in Equation (6), a broadcasts to its while communicating inside the cluster. The capture rate is more significant than its transmission rate in this situation. During the first stages of network deployment and cluster formation . The buffer of each is empty since they have not yet sensed their surroundings are described as
(7) |
As shown in Equation (7), the maximum number of member nodes associated with a specific cluster head and the total number of cluster heads that are represented by and , respectively. To prevent the packet loss of a member node must act promptly. Each member node must use a channel accessible with instead of waiting for its allotted to be assigned as follows,
(8) |
As shown in Equation (8), a cluster head for all member nodes in that specific cluster ; hence it’s vital to specify accordingly. The same cluster head, on the other hand, serves as a for the nodes that constitute an additional cluster.

Algorithm 1 shows the WMSN’s multimedia streaming. A subset of the IoT, Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) serves as a data collection tool for numerous applications connected to the Internet of Things. Its heterogeneity and power consumption requirements necessitate several protocols being developed to enable the WSN in multimodal IoT. Member nodes that requests channel allocation to are counted. Finally, we computed solely for those network members that send their to their .
An improvement over IoT in terms of interactivity and cooperation across heterogeneous multimedia objects is possible with the Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT). Sensors that collect multimodal data, such as IoMT and big data, are becoming more commonplace. There are two key challenges to overcome in gathering these large amounts of multimedia data. Sensors cause limited computer resources and huge data quantities. To save on transmission bandwidth and sensor power, it’s worth mentioning that compression encoding is an option. Another issue is ensuring the security of the data throughout and after the sampling process. Even if the sensors have been hacked, no one can get their hands on critical information. Figure 4 illustrates the compressive sensing (CS) data-gathering method based on chaotic convolution and subsampling (CCS). Compressive sensing (CS) is a mathematically elegant method for decreasing the sampling rate, which may enable context awareness on a wider variety of devices. However, practical problems with the sampling and reconstruction methods, particularly for heterogeneous ubiquitous devices, limit the spread of CS in real-world environments. The chaotic systems used in the CS measurement matrix are intended to make it deterministic. While maintaining the majority of the characteristics of the random CS matrix, this chaotic compressed sensing (CCS) measurement matrix is easier to implement in hardware.
Figure 4 CS data gathering method based on CCS.
When it comes to gathering IoT data, CS has emerged as a promising technology that can meet the standards set out by the first challenge. If the sampled information is sparse, sampling and compression can be performed concurrently. When using CS, a large portion of the computational complexity is moved from sampling to reconstruction since sampling is linear in data dimension, and rebuilding is cubic. This is what the Internet of Things (IoT) is looking for in terms of CS’s positive properties. According to this insight, CS technology has been advocated for IoT applications in several papers. Noise in the real transport channel typically obscures the encrypted image, necessitating a high-quality encryption technique to avoid being harmed. An image’s quality is assessed using Gaussian noise and Salt and Pepper noise in a noisy environment.
Step 1: Process image signals using chaotic convolution and subsampling, starting with the first image signal and working backwards. An image signal is represented by of size that indicates the measuring outcome .
Step 2: The sampled pictures are shared into a single master image .
Step 3: Use transform to and record the modified output as .
Step 4: Single-value diffusion can be used to disperse and identify the outcome as .
The decryption design has the following steps.
Step 1: has to be subjected to the inverse single-value diffusion. XOR’s inverse can be easily computed, and the decrypted output is .
Step 2: Transform to can be used. Decryption produces .
Step 3: Separate into images , .
Step 4: The total variation optimization approach can be used to reconstruct images .
Figure 5 Optical depiction of the fundamental framework.
Figure 5 shows the optical depiction of the fundamental framework. The developed system allows for batch image processing, which samples, compresses, fuses, and encrypts multiple images at once. The service flow of the design can be summarised as follows. In a sensor node, numerous picture signals are initially convoluted one at a time by chaotic convolution before being subsampled by chaotic systems. Secure CS is used in chaotic convolution and subsampling to accomplish sampling, compression, and encryption, which is a solution to the first challenge issue. As firmly developed, the CS-based method is insufficiently secure. Using the help of fusion encryption, users can combine numerous subsampled images into a single master image, which one can then further encrypt with widely used image encryption techniques.
Simple cascading combines the master images, and Zig-zag scanning techniques can be employed depending on the situation’s specific needs. For image encryption, permutation and diffusion processes are described using the Arnold transform and single-value diffusion. For an ideal picture cipher, this encryption has the qualities of confusion and dispersion. It is uploaded to cloud servers with enormous storage and computing capacity to store, decode, and rebuild the finished encrypted picture.
Signal sampling and reconstruction theory state that sample rates must be at least twice as fast as the bandwidth of a signal to ensure proper reconstruction. Low-dimensional structures or those with relevance and cyclical properties can be used to explain the vast majority of data. As a consequence, when sampling Nyquist samples, some redundancy is prevalent. According to the CS theory, the convergence of the Nyquist theory is not necessary for a high-probability reconstruction of the compressible signal. Utilize an orthogonal transform matrix to describe the sparseness of a one-dimensional signal as follows,
(9) |
As shown in Equation (9), denotes the majority of the components are zeros in a vector and is said to be sparse if it includes just nonzero values. To get a linear measurement of the original signal , the construction of an irrelevant matrix to the transformation matrices. The optimization issues is defined as,
(10) |
As shown in Equation (10), where is chosen by the random matrix’s unique limitations . The sensing matrix for reconstruction is denoted by . The random convolution is controlled by a chaotic system if it is termed chaotic convolution as follows,
(11) |
As shown in Equation (11), using a chaotic system to randomly choose certain indices in an image signal, chaotic subsampling is a technique for sampling images. An image’s pixels can be jumbled up using the Arnold transform . By repeatedly transforming an image , the connection between its pixels can be eliminated is defined as,
(12) |
As shown in Equation (12), an image can be returned to its original state using Arnold transforms if they are applied to a restricted number of changes. The single value diffusion shows that a secret key sensitivity of each pixel value is independently expressed as,
(13) |
As shown in Equation (13), the plaintext is represented by and the ciphertext by . Iterating cascading chaotic systems with initial key supplies the secret key in this case. It is possible to conceive of random convolution as a sampling method in which a random pulse is added to the original signal is given as,
(14) |
As shown in Equation (14), where is the discrete Fourier (DF) matrices, is the inverse (DF) matrices, and is the diagonal matrices.
When a multimedia node enters the system, running time in the base station (BS) provides it with a 16-bit number that is used for authentication at various levels are stated as,
(15) |
As shown in Equation (15), encryption and decryption prevent one or more attackers from being able to choose a cluster head . Furthermore, this approach assures that only those nodes identified by can operate as . The least expensive Exclusive cryptographic procedure in terms of resources and compute as follows,
(16) |
As exposed in Equation (16), join demand control packet is created by each and sent to a . Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values that are among the highest possible. To construct a 256-bit encrypted challenge, an operation is conducted on and , resulting in a 128-bit cypher that is added to is given as
(17) |
As shown in Equation (17), is the one-time usage of a pseudorandom identifier throughout the whole cryptographic transaction . In Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, users employed an Advanced Encryption Standard with a key length of 128 bits to produce a challenge. The proposed method improves running time, optimization issues, attacks in resilience, packet loss, and key sensitivity.
To ensure more unpredictability and statistical convergence, users conducted trials with varying node densities and BS locations. A scalar integer’s buffer size is the maximum size of consecutive data from each network interface that a node can store. Therefore, [31] 10 data has been taken to compare IoMT-WE to the existing methods of different performance parameters, such as running time, optimization issues, attacks in resilience, packet loss, and key sensitivity.
Image | Encryption Time(s) | Decryption Time(s) |
Tom | 2.552774 | 556.742421 |
Photographer | 2.552774 | 487.271348 |
Table 1 shows the running time it takes to encrypt and decrypt data and the time it takes to decode data. Because the suggested encryption scheme is both fast and secure, it can be used to acquire data while protecting its privacy quickly. Using mathematical units of computation, asymptotic analysis calculates the running time of every process. As derived in Equation (15), the general block operation mode, the suggested encryption architecture, offers parallel processing, which can further decrease encryption time. Decryption takes a long time, and however, it can be fixed rapidly on cloud servers with a lot of computing power. Compared to the existing method, the proposed method improves the running time.

Figure 6 shows the optimization issue. According to the suggested framework, they find the shortest path between nodes in the optimization issue. Communication capability and range vary across the nodes. As derived in Equation (10), the cost of the bidirectional connection is calculated to determine the route. The shortest route problem has been broadened to include this issue. This study proposes a novel optimal approach that considers the inter-cluster level and the local level of clusters. Compared to the existing method, the proposed method reduces the optimization issue by (36.8%). Cluster Heads (CHs) decide the local routing pathways based on the distance of nodes from one other. At the same time, the transmission algorithm determines the inter-cluster routing paths through the use of cluster coordinators (CCOs). A static routing approach reduces the path’s complexity.

Table 2 and Equation (18) show the attacks in resilience. The two-level authentication’s sturdiness is tested against the strength of the competition’s solutions. Pseudorandom number is used to create DEk, which is then added to a timer . Attackers can have a tough time replaying packets with this combination of and . These tactics are more vulnerable to passive replay assaults than the others.

Each time a new round is completed in the system, a new set of cluster leaders is chosen. This decision prevents an attacker from conducting DoS attacks. Insiders cannot participate in the authentication process because of and . Security primitives cannot be distributed before authentication in this technique, which makes them vulnerable to hostile insider attacks.
Figure 7 Packet loss.
Figure 7 shows the packet loss. As derived in Equation (8), IoMT-WE intra-cluster communication involves each waiting its turn to broadcast using its assigned . assigns spare channels for inter-cluster communication, which reduces the average packet loss. Nodes in the IoMT-WE cluster communicate with each other through and respectively, for inter/intra-cluster communication. Compared to intra-cluster communication, the packet loss for the proposed system is much reduced. This is primarily due to the position in the sensor field and the underlying channel allocation mechanism. Compared to the existing method, the proposed method reduces packet loss by (42.5%).
Image | Analysis of Correct Key | Analysis of Wrong Key | Analysis of Correct Key |
Tom | 6.8676 | 12543 | 12845 |
Photographer | 9.4738 | 21748 | 21952 |
Table 3 shows the key sensitivity. The general chaotic system’s high sensitivity to the system’s starting parameters and values suggests that the algorithm’s proposed key sensitivity is high. The decoded Tom and Photographer images with the right keys provide visual proof. With a disturbance level, the instances of keys are just slightly shaken. It is possible to see even a slight variation leads to a decoded signal that is nearly unrecognizably altered, as seen in Equation (13). Mean square error (MSE) is a method for determining the key’s sensitivity in digital verification. The original image does not provide valuable information even if the erroneous key has a minor departure from the right one. Therefore, the suggested architecture is very sensitive to the keys. The proposed method evaluated running time, optimization issues, attacks in resilience, packet loss, and key sensitivity.
The IoMT-WE aims to address the issues of vehicle information sharing and user privacy. The broadcast revocation list’s communication cost and privacy problems can be avoided by using conditional privacy and batch validation in this method. The recommended design features a security technique based on chaotic encryption. In other words, the sampling approach should contain a CCS process. The suggested strategy can effectively safeguard data collecting at a minimal computational cost. Batch processing of large image data sets is possible within the suggested framework. During the steady-state phase, the development of these clusters allows for the steady and dependable transfer of traffic from member nodes. There is a predefined threshold for the size of each node’s buffer. When a node in a cluster reaches this threshold, it borrows a spare channel from the cluster head of a nearby cluster. In the future, researchers want to investigate the effect of multimedia nodes’ on the wireless environment and data collecting and transmission to minimize communication overhead. The experimental outcome suggested that the proposed method improves running time, optimization issues, attacks in resilience, packet loss and key sensitivity.
