Edge Computing in Internet of Things (IoT): Enhancing IoT Ecosystems through Distributed Intelligence

Anand Gudnavar — 2023-08-07

This paper explores Edge Computing in the
Internet of Things (IoT) and its pivotal role in
enhancing IoT ecosystems through
distributed intelligence. We present the
architecture of edge computing systems for
IoT, emphasizing edge devices, edge servers,
and seamless cloud integration. Investigating
edge analytics and data processing, we
showcase real-time analysis at the edge,
reducing reliance on distant cloud resources
and enhancing responsiveness. Resource
management strategies, including task
offloading and load balancing, optimize
system performance. Addressing security
concerns, we propose solutions for edge
device security, data privacy, and trust
management. Case studies demonstrate
successful edge computing applications in
diverse IoT scenarios, validating their
transformative impact. Nonetheless,
challenges remain, requiring further
research. In conclusion, "Edge Computing in
the Internet of Things (IoT)" empowers IoT
ecosystems with distributed intelligence,
revolutionizing IoT-driven applications across
domains

Analyzing Bitcoin's Decentralization: Coefficient of Variation Approach and 21 Million Divisibility

S M Atikur Rahman — 2023-08-08

Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency, has
received a lot of interest due to its potential to
challenge the traditional financial system.
This study applies a coefficient of variation
analysis with an emphasis on the idea of
dividing the entire supply by 21 million to
determine the degree of decentralization for
Bitcoin. The coefficient of variation is a
statistical indicator of diffusion, making it
possible to analyze how many Bitcoins
different stakeholders hold. We can learn
more about the degree of wealth
concentration or distribution among Bitcoin
users by examining the degree of
decentralization using this method. This
research calculates the coefficient of variation
using publicly available information on
Bitcoin addresses and the holdings linked to
those addresses. The findings will contribute
to the ongoing discourse on Bitcoin's
decentralization and shed light on the
potential impact of the fixed supply of 21
million Bitcoins on wealth distribution within
the Bitcoin network.

Sustainable Farm Care System Using IoT

Balasubramanian N — 2023-08-08

Throughout history, the quest for sustenance
has been a constant struggle. With the advent
of agriculture, humankind has witnessed
remarkable progress over the centuries. In the
present era, the Internet of Things (IoT) has
permeated every sphere of life. Inspired by
this, We have embarked on a project to
develop an IoT-based application tailored
specifically for the agricultural domain, with a
focus on revolutionizing plant management.
Plant management encompasses a range of
agricultural activities, including seedbed
preparation, seed sowing, and plant
maintenance. Our work aims to automate
crucial processes such as water irrigation,
water storage management, artificial lighting,
and plant security systems. To achieve this,
We have devised a dedicated mobile
application that interfaces with IoT devices.
These interconnected devices form a network,
enabling real-time data monitoring and
seamless activation of various operations
within the system. This ambitious work
consists of four major modules. To handle
each module effectively, an individual
nodemcu device has been allocated. By
combining the power of IoT technology and
agriculture, this work strives to optimize plant
management, enhance productivity, and
ultimately contribute to the advancement of
this vital field.

Applications of Zero Knowledge Proof for Advanced Cryptography

Manas Kumar Yogi — 2023-11-22

This paper explores the multifaceted
applications of Zero Knowledge Proofs
(ZKPs) in advanced cryptography,
unravelling the transformative potential of
this innovative concept. ZKPs enable one
party to prove the authenticity of certain
information to another party without
revealing any details about the information
itself. The paper delves into the theoretical
underpinnings of ZKPs, elucidating their
mathematical foundations and cryptographic
principles. The primary focus of this work lies
in presenting a comprehensive survey of how
ZKPs are applied across diverse domains
within advanced cryptography. We
investigate their role in enhancing privacypreserving protocols, securing digital
identities, and fortifying Blockchain
technologies. Additionally, the paper
examines real-world implementations and
case studies where ZKPs contribute to the
development of robust cryptographic systems,
ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.
Furthermore, the abstract highlights the
potential impact of ZKPs in mitigating the
challenges posed by emerging technologies,
such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud
computing. The synthesis of theoretical
exploration and practical applications
underscores the pivotal role of ZKPs in
shaping the future landscape of secure
communications and data protection.

A Review Paper on Transformer Health Monitoring System

Priti Pal — 2023-11-24

The Transformer Health Monitoring System
(THMS) is an advanced solution designed for
real-time monitoring and maintenance of
electrical transformers equipped with voltage,
current, temperature, and oil level sensors,
the system gathers critical data necessary for
assessing a transformer's condition. This data
is not only securely transmitted to a user's
smartphone via Wi-Fi through an ESP32
microcontroller but is also simultaneously
displayed on an LCD screen in real-time. The
THMS offers continuous monitoring, early
fault detection, and user-friendly interfaces,
making it a valuable tool for enhancing
transformer reliability and preventing costly
downtime. This research paper explores the
THMS components, operational principles,
and the manifold benefits it brings to utility
companies, industrial facilities, and various
critical applications in the power distribution
sector, where real-time data display on an
LCD screen plays a pivotal role in ensuring
operational efficiency and safety
