Stochastic forecasting of variable small data as a basis for analyzing an early stage of a cyber epidemic.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technologies play an important role in the architecture of modern cyber protection tools. One of the main scenarios for the use of SIEM is the detection of attacks on protected information infrastructure. Consorting that ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-61, and NIST SP 800-83 standards objectively do not keep up with the evolution of cyber threats, research aimed at forecasting the development of cyber epidemics is relevant.

Evaluation of the QoS policy model of an ordinary 5G smart city cluster with predominant URLLC and eMBB traffic.

A typical element of the smart city's information and communication space is a 5G cluster, which is focused on serving both new and handover requests because it is an open system. In an ordinary 5G smart city cluster, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) and enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB) traffic types prevail. The formation of an effective QoS policy for such an object (taking into account the potentially active slicing technology) is an urgent problem.

AuCFSR: Authentication and Color Face Self-Recovery Using Novel 2D Hyperchaotic System and Deep Learning Models.

Color face images are often transmitted over public channels, where they are vulnerable to tampering attacks. To address this problem, the present paper introduces a novel scheme called Authentication and Color Face Self-Recovery (AuCFSR) for ensuring the authenticity of color face images and recovering the tampered areas in these images. AuCFSR uses a new two-dimensional hyperchaotic system called two-dimensional modular sine-cosine map (2D MSCM) to embed authentication and recovery data into the least significant bits of color image pixels.
