Abstract
Warm greetings to all our readers!!! We hope this year brings relief and progress to humanity. BJIT remains committed to delivering on its challenge of consistently showcasing and disseminating novel researches pertaining to computing applications and capable of altering the quality of human life. It is a matter of great privilege for me to unveil before you the thirty fifth issue i.e. Volume 13 Number 03 of the ‘‘International Journal of Information Technology’’ [An official Journal of Bharati Vidyapeeth’s Institute of Computer Applications and Management (BVICAM), New Delhi] with acronym BJIT. From this volume onwards we have increased our frequency to six issues an year. The issue is live on the Springer content platform SpringerLink and available to the prospective readers through Springer CS package globally. Throughout the world, nations have started recognizing that Information Technology (IT) is now acting as a catalyst in speeding up the economic activities in efficient governance, citizens’ empowerment, sustainable development and in improving the quality of human life. Recent advancements in IT have touched almost every conceivable area of human life. Its degree of pervasiveness, in day to day life, is rapidly increasing, every new day. On the backdrop of this, BJIT has accepted the challenge to consistently showcase, disseminate and institutionalize the rapidly changing huge knowledgebase globally, with authenticity and accuracy, having special focus on the new researches pertaining to IT applications for improving the quality of day to day life. Volume 13 Number 03 presents a compilation of forty six papers, chosen out of over 400 manuscripts, that span a broad variety of topics from various emerging areas of Information Technology and Computer Science, especially addressing current research problems related to Fog Computing, Intrusion detection system, power optimization, Teledental Encryption, Text Steganography, Cloud Services and Test Case Priortization; to name a few. After almost over an year, our world still continues to battle the COVID. Technology is playing a major role in easing human life in the new norm where personal interaction has taken a backseat. The first manuscript in this issue ‘‘Advantages of using fog in IoT applications’’, Adnan A. Abi Sen et al. evaluates the application of fog applications in simplifying the applications of the IoT. Low-cost and improved performance has always been desirable for systems of all configurations. The second manuscript ‘‘Computation and Communication efficient secure group key exchange protocol for low configuration systems’’, Arjun Singh Rawat et al. propositions design specifically to provide computation and communication efficient algorithms for low configuration systems without violating the security. As the number of IoT system devices (called things) is growing massively, there is a shift needed from the traditional LTE network to these low power networks. The next manuscript ‘‘Critical power analysis for control path of a CAT-M based edge devices’’, Harshita Bhilwaria et al. outlines power measurements issues related to factors like Power Saving Mode (PSM), extended Discontinuous Reception Mode (eDRX), Uplink Transmission Power, Channel Repetition, Bandwidth and Sub-carrier Spacing. MANETs have attracted tremendous popularity in the present times. The manuscript ‘‘Enhanced route optimization technique and design of threshold-T for malicious node detection in ad hoc networks’’, Shrikant V. Sonekar & M. N. Hoda [email protected]
