Application layer Security in IoT: A SurveyAdeel Ahmed
Internet of Things (IoT) is the future as we are
advancing towards an era of intelligent ambiance where daily
life objects will be communicating to each other for the sake of
convenience in our lives. But the comfort as a result of technology
demands certain measures for the safety of these devices from
wrong hands. The issue of security remains hot as we step further
in this vast area of technological advancement since it can directly
influence one’s personal security. Different techniques have been
adopted to incorporate security in IoT communication stack
for the purpose of confidentiality, identification, data integrity,
authentication, authorization and non-repudiation which are
the fundamental security traits worth considering. This paper
discusses the different application layer protocols by comparing
them on the basis of these traits.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

2. SWOT ANALYSIS
• SWOT analysis is a planning tool used to understand the
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a
project or in a business. It involves specifying the objective of the
business or project and identifying the internal and external factors
that are supportive or unfavorable to achieving that objective. (1)
• SWOT is often used as part of a strategic planning process. SWOT
is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities,
Threats.
(2)
3. SWOT ANALYSIS
HISTORY
• The origin of SWOT analysis is credited by Albert Humphrey, who led a
research project at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s using data
from many top companies.
• Goal of SWOT was to identify why corporate planning failed. Humphrey and
the team used the categories “What is good in the present is Satisfactory, good
in the future is an Opportunity; bad in the present is a Fault and bad in the
future is a Threat.”. Hence they came up with SWOT.(3)
MYTH OF SWOT:
Some researchers reference the 1965 publication “Business Policy,
Text and Cases” from Harvard University in which a framework is used which closely resembles
a SWOT analysis.
Strengths, Weaknesses, opportunities, risks, environment & problems of other
industries. The terms SWOT or THREATS is not used so it is myth.(3)
4. SWOT ANALYSIS
PURPOSE
• Reveal your competitive advantages
• Analyze your prospects for sales profitability and product
development
• Prepare your company for problems
• Allow for the development of contingency plans
• A strategic option, such as entering a new market or launching a
new product
• A opportunity to make an acquisition
• A potential partnership
• Project planning and project management
• An investment opportunity
• Personal financial planning
• Personal career development - direction, choice, change, etc.
(5)
8. SWOT ANALYSIS
Advantage & Limitations
• Strengths may not lead to an advantage
• SWOT’s focus on the external environment is
too narrow
• SWOT gives a one-shot view of a moving target
• SWOT overemphasizes a single dimension of
strategy
9. SWOT ANALYSIS
How to
• Set objectives
• Generate alternative strategies
• Evaluate alternative strategies
• Monitor results, and
• Gain commitment among the stakeholders
during each step of this process (7)
10. Porter’s 5 Forces

& forces that influence
the decision making
Industry analysis :

2) Industry players
3) Industry structure
4) Future changes
How to deal with competition?
13. Threats of New Entrants
The easier it is for new companies to enter the industry, the more cutthroat
competition there will be.
Factors that can limit the threat of new entrants are:
• How loyal are the end users?
• How hard is it for the end users to switch and use another product?
• Does it require a large seed capital to enter this industry?
• Do entries to this industry regulated by government?
• How hard is it to gain access to the distribution channels?
• How long does it take for new staff to acquire the necessary skills to do the
work?
14. Threat of Substitutes
Threats of Substitute in the Porter’s theory actually means
goods and services that does similar functions
o How many close substitutes are available?
o How pricy are the substitutes?
o What is the perceived quality of the
substitutes?
15. Rivalry among firms
• How many close competitors exist in the
industry?
• What are the sizes of your close competitors?
• What is the industry structure? Is it a
fragmented, consolidated, oligopoly or monopoly
industry?
• What is the current industry growth rate?
16. Bargaining Power of Customers
1. How large are your buyers’ company?
2. How many companies are there for the buyer to choose
from?
3. Are the buyers buying a huge volume?
4. Do you depend only on a few buyers to sustain your
sales?
17. Bargaining power of Suppliers
• Are there substitutes for your suppliers’ products?
• Do your suppliers serve multiple industries? Does the total industry
revenue accounting for only a mall portion of the supplier’s total
revenue?
• Do suppliers have the capacity to enter your business?
• Does your company capable to enter the supplier’s business? (10)
18. PEST ANALYSIS
• PEST analysis is used to identify the external
forces affecting an organisation .This is a
simple analysis of an organisation’s Political,
Economical, Social and Technological
environment. A PEST analysis incorporating
legal and environmental factors. (11)
19. PEST is AN ACRONYM
• P for POLITICAL FACTORS
• E for ECONOMIC FACTORS
• S for SOCIAL FACTORS
• T for TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
(12)
20. POLITICAL FACTORS
• Trade agreements, tariffs or restrictions
• Tax levies and tax breaks
• Type of government regime example communist,
democratic, dictatorship
• Voluntary codes and practices
• Market regulations
(13)
21. ECONOMIC FACTORS
• Marketers need to consider the state of a trading
economy in the short and long-terms. This is especially
true when planning for international marketing.
• Overseas economies and trends
• General taxation issues
• Market routes and distribution trends
(13)
22. SOCIAL FACTORS
The social and cultural influences on business vary from
country to country.
It is important that such factors are observed
• Lifestyle trends
• Demographics
• Consumer attitudes and opinions
• Brand, company, technology image
• Consumer buying patterns
• Fashion and role models
• Ethnic/religious factors
(13)
23. TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
• Competing technology development
• Associated/dependent technologies
• Replacement technology/solutions
• Manufacturing maturity and capacity
• Information and communications
• Technology is vital for competitive advantage, and is a
major driver of globalization.
(13)
24. Advantages
• Advantages
• Provides a simple and easy-to-use framework for your analysis.
• Involves cross-functional skills and expertise.
• Helps to reduce the impact and effects of potential threats to your
organization.
• Aids and encourages the development of strategic thinking within
your organization.
• Provides a mechanism that enables your organization to identify and
exploit new opportunities.
• Enables you to assess implications of entering new markets both
nationally and globally.
(14)
25. Disadvantages
• Disadvantages
• Users can oversimplify the information that is used for making decisions.
• The process has to be conducted regularly to be effective and often organizations do
not make this investment.
• Users must not succumb to 'paralysis by analysis' where they gather too much
information and forget that the objective of this tool is the identification of issues so
that action can be taken.
• Organizations often restrict who is involved due to time and cost considerations. This
limits the technique's effectiveness as a key perspective may be missing from the
discussions.
• Users' access to quality external information is often restricted because of the cost
and time needed to collate it.
• Assumptions often form the basis for most of the data used, making any decision
made based on such data subjective.
(14)
26. Limitations
• Collecting enormous amounts of relevant data from the right sources
becomes a bit of a problem, especially since most of the pertinent
data must be collected from external agencies. This
makes PEST analysis not only time consuming but costly as well.
Also, getting the latest data and keeping the analysis updated with it
becomes a problem.
• Oftentimes, the factors mentioned in the analysis are based more on
assumptions and less on actual facts. An analysis based on
unfounded assumptions can lead to planning disasters. So,
it’s important to device some method to cross-verify whether the
factors mentioned in the PEST analysis.
(15)
27. Value-Chain Analysis
• Value-chain analysis
– a strategic analysis of an organization that
uses value creating activities.
• Value is the amount that buyers are willing
to pay for what a firm provides them and is
measured by total revenue
(16)
28. Primary activities
– contribute to the physical creation of the
product or service, its sale and transfer to the
buyer, and its service after the sale.
– inbound logistics, operations, outbound
logistics, marketing and sales, and service
(16)
29. Support activities
• activities of the value chain that either add value
by themselves or add value through important
relationships with both primary activities and
other support activities
• procurement, technology development, human
resource management, and general
administration.
(16)
31. TYPES OF FIRM ACTIVITIES
• Primary activities:
Those that are involved in the creation, sale and transfer of products
(including after-sales service)
Inbound logistics
Operations
Outbound logistics
Sales and marketing
Service and support
(18)
32. TYPES OF FIRM ACTIVITIES
• Support Activities:
Those that merely support the primary activities
Human resources
Tech. development
Procurement
(18)
33. USES OF VALUE CHAIN
ANALYSIS:
• The sources of the competitive advantage of a firm can be seen
from its discrete activities and how they interact with one another.
• The value chain is a tool for systematically examining the activities
of a firm and how they interact with one another and affect each
other’s cost and performance.
• A firm gains a competitive advantage by performing these activities
better or at lower cost than competitors.
• Helps you to stay out of the “No Profit Zone”
• Presents opportunities for integration
• Aligns spending with value processes
(19)
34. Advantages Of Value Chain
Analysis
• A big advantage is that the value chain is a very flexible strategy tool
for looking at your business, your competitors and the respective
places in the industry’s value system.
• The value chain can be used to diagnose and create competitive
advantages on both cost and differentiation
• The value chain is well known and has been a mainstay of strategy
teaching in business schools for the last 20 to 25 years. The
book, Competitive Advantage was published in 1985.
• It can be adapted for any type of business – manufacturing, retail or
service, big or small.
(20)
35. Disadvantages Of Value Chain
Analysis
• It’s very strengths of flexibility mean that it has to be adapted to a particular
business situation and that can be a disadvantage since, to get the best
from the value chain, it’s not “plug and play”.
.
• The format of the value chain laid out in Porter’s book Competitive
Advantage, is heavily oriented to a manufacturing business and the
language can be off-putting for other types of business.
.
• The scale and scope of a value chain analysis can be intimidating. It can
take a lot of work to finish a full value chain analysis for your company and
for your main competitors so that you can identify and understand the key
differences and strategy drivers.
.
• Many people are familiar with the value chain but few are experts in its use
(20)
