A Systematic Literature Review on Security Challenges in Cloud–Edge Hybrid Systems
Abstract: Cloud–edge hybrid systems have become a key framework in today’s distributed computing landscape, combining fast, near-source data processing at the edge with the flexible scalability and resource richness of centralized cloud infrastructures. However, this in- tegration introduces a complex security landscape where tradi- tional perimeter- based cloud security measures are insufficient for resource- constrained and physically exposed edge nodes. This literature review synthesizes findings from established research publications (2020–2025), focusing …

The Weight of The Flock: Narratives of Young Men who were Childhood Herders in Lesotho
Abstract: Herding in Lesotho is associated with social isolation for extended periods, risk of assault by animal thieves, and risk of being attacked for suspected animal theft. Regardless, herding in Lesotho is mostly assigned to boys. The objective of this study was therefore to examine herding experiences of childhood herders in Thaba Tseka Lesotho. The study employed snowball sampling to recruit 14 childhood herders who were young adults (18-35 years old) …

An Overview on VLSI based Hardware Security in IoT Node
Abstract: In the coming era, security will not be a feature we add to an IoT device; it will be a property inherent to its transistor-level design. By encoding security into the VLSI architecture, we move away from the fragile "software-only" paradigm and toward a future where the identity of the device is as immutable as the laws of physics. The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has transformed …

Investigating mosquito innate immune defence mechanism towards malaria vaccine development
Abstract: Mosquito-borne diseases weigh heavily on public health across the globe. The mosquito’s innate immune system certainly decides whether malaria parasites survive inside the vector, and that sighted it as a logical place to discover new vaccine ideas. In this review, we examine how Anopheles mosquitoes defend themselves against Plasmodium parasites and how those defenses could be turned into tools for malaria control. We focus on three layers of immunity: antimicrobial …

Blockchain-Enabled Secure Data Sharing in Mobile IoT Networks
Abstract: The rapid proliferation of mobile Internet of Things (IoT) devices has resulted in an exponential increase in data generation, storage, and sharing, which poses significant challenges related to security, privacy, integrity, and trustworthiness. Traditional centralized architectures for IoT data exchange are inherently vulnerable to single points of failure, unauthorized access, data tampering, and limitations in scalability. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized ledger structure, cryptographic integrity, and consensus mechanisms, provides a …
