Cities built on the basics of interconnected services and infrastructures using state-of-the-art information and communication technologies and electronics to automate services, improve quality of life, increase efficiency of public activities, and provide digital connectivity can be termed "smart cities." The primary objective of smart cities is to connect and integrate every possible service and sector, such as utilities, energy, healthcare, transportation, governance, and security, onto digital platforms. This course, offered with the endorsement of the IEEE Communications Society, aims to provide a clearer picture of the transformation of cities into smart cities, taking into account various levels of services including primary, secondary, and tertiary in areas such as healthcare systems, transportation, energy distribution, and secured data communication based on privacy, safety, security, and trust. 

Courses included in this program:

• Smart City Technologies: Advancing Healthcare Systems

• Smart City Technologies: History, Social Impact, and Examples

• Smart City Technologies: Transportation Transformation in the Smart City

• Smart City Technologies: Energy Distribution

As the automotive industry continues to work on intelligent and autonomous vehicles, there is a need to better comprehend the safety and security of this connected technology. The IEEE 5-course program, Automotive Cyber Security: Protecting the Vehicular Network, aims to foster discussion on automotive cyber security solutions and requirements for not only intelligent vehicles, but also the infrastructure of intelligent transportation systems. This course program investigates cyber security issues and solutions as well as how blockchain technology applies to automotive applications. It also provides in-depth knowledge of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting vehicular data and its impact on security, the economy, and safety into the future.

• Evolution of Intelligent and Autonomous Vehicles

• Connected Vehicle Communication

• Securing Intelligent Transportation Systems

• Using Blockchain Technology to Secure Autonomous Vehicles

• Collecting, Analyzing, and Interpreting Vehicular Data

Upon successful completion of this course program, you are eligible to receive a IEEE Automotive Cyber Security digital badge.  

Intelligent vehicles can use blockchain to create and maintain continuously growing data transaction blocks of cryptographically secured data records that are resistant to fraud and tampering. Blockchain can also reduce the cost of data storage and the unpredictability of working edge devices or connecting machines. It simplifies the development of cost-effective data transactions, where anything can be tracked and exchanged without requiring a central body. However, security is a big challenge for intelligent vehicles. This presentation will discuss how blockchain can provide a secure trust environment for intelligent vehicles and introduce automotive cyber security: perspectives and challenges. where unknown vehicles can communicate and share the data with each other without disclosing any personal information. We have tried to present a secure trust environment model for intelligent machines based on blockchain.

The Intelligent Vehicular Network (IVN) is a communication environment, where intelligent vehicles communicate and share information within the network. In an IVN, all vehicles are connected to the internet, and vehicles can easily communicate information with other vehicles. IVN aims to improve safety and efficiency by sharing data with only nearby vehicles. The greatest challenge in IVN is trusted data circulation in reliable intelligent vehicles without affecting any personal information about those vehicles. In this talk, we endeavor to resolve the above-mentioned issue by proposing an effective tri-blockchain-based communication network. We have introduced three blockchain servers, namely the public, special, and supreme blockchain servers. The public blockchain server and special blockchain server show dynamic features, whereas the features of the supreme blockchain server are static all the time. Our Tri-Blockchain servers provide a greater extent of reliability and quick response during emergency scenarios. We have verified our proposal with an accidental USECASE scenario. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9162692 

The digital transformation is gradually integrating into the lives of humans in the form of digitizing information that is transmitted with the help of disrupting technology all around us, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, cyber-physical systems, the internet of things, etc. We can call the current era or time the "digital transformation era." In this era, blockchain technology is going to play a very important role. Blockchain technology can unlock the issues of digital transformation by providing a path to securing the data with a protection method for sharing, ease of implementation within the dynamic application, and decentralized identity. Blockchain technology enables organizations to enhance application modernization, with the capability to automate application processes. Blockchain technology can be blended with emerging technologies such as self-driving autonomous vehicles and their communication, intelligent machines, software-defined networks, the Internet of Things, large-scale data management, and edge computing. In this talk, we will explain the role of blockchain technology in the digital transformation era with an application example. Also, find the untouched issues in blockchain technology.

Depression in the modern century has become the most common symptom that is being seen in humans. People living in both developed and poor countries are like those who lose interest in important parts of life. Its symptoms include eating or sleeping too much or too little; pulling away from people and usual activities. Depression is a state of mind that hinders the cognitive development of the human mind. People with chronic diseases often go into a state of depression. With the COVID-19 surge on the global platform, depression has manifested itself in large sections of the human population. People have lost jobs, and poverty has crept into the larger sections of the human population. People have lost jobs, and poverty has crept into the larger sections of the world. The result is depression. In this lecture, we have talked about decentralized depression data management. Using blockchain technology, data can be used to store and manage important depression data in a decentralized, secure environment. https://sites.google.com/view/mental-health-first/mhct-2021/schedule-2021#h.j7fsaryjeg0w

In this talk, we introduce blockchain technology to build trust and reliability in peer-to-peer networks with topologies similar to IV communication. Further, we propose a blockchain-technology-enabled IV communication use case. Blockchain technology is used to build a secure, trusted environment for IV communication. This trusted environment provides a secure, distributed, and decentralized mechanism for communication between IVs, without sharing their personal information with the intelligent transportation system. Our proposed method comprises a local dynamic blockchain (LDB) and main blockchain, enabled with a secure and unique crypto ID called an intelligent vehicle trust point (IVTP). The IVTP ensures trustworthiness among vehicles. Vehicles use and verify the IVTP with the LDB to communicate with other vehicles. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1389128618308399?via%3Dihub  ACM Distinguished Lecture in BVP Delhi, India, "2022.03.27"
