Lightweight security architecture design for wireless sensor network by Chao WANG, Guang-yue HU, Huan-guo ZHANG

“…Most previous security proposal did not consider key management or their authentication efficiency was very low.Lightweight security architecture and lightweight security algorithm were proposed for wireless sensor network,The problem of network encounters malicious nodes maybe occur in the procedure of backbone networks networking could be solved by threshold secret sharing mechanism.The lightweight ECC was proposed to optimize the CPK architecture based on normal ECC,authentication was efficient without the third-party CA,and could reduce the computational complexity,the key management could meet the resource limit in wireless sensor network,and the key security depended on the exponential computation complexity of the elliptic discrete logarithm decomposition.The scheme used the improved two-way authentication to ensure the communication security between common node and sink node,which could prevent man-in-the-middle attack.…”

Reducing Safety Risks in Construction Tower Crane Operations: A Dynamic Path Planning Model by Binqing Cai, Zhukai Ye, Shiwei Chen, Xun Liang

“…To reduce safety risks in construction tower crane operations, this research proposes a dynamic path planning model for tower crane operations based on computer vision technology and dynamic path planning algorithms. The proposed model consists of three modules: first, a path information collection module preprocessing the video data to capture relevant operational path information; second, a path safety risk evaluation module employing You Only Look Once version 8 (YOLOv8) instance segmentation to identify potential risk factors along the operational path, e.g., potential drop zones and the positions of nearby workers; and finally, a path planning module utilizing an improved Dynamic Window Approach for tower cranes (TC-DWA) to avoid risky areas and optimize the operational path for enhanced safety. …”
