WSNs are significant components of modern IoT systems, which typically operate in resource-constrained environments integrated with fog and cloud computing to achieve scalability real-time performance. Integrating these systems brings challenges such as security threats, bottlenecks, energy constraints. In this work, we propose a bioinspired blockchain framework aimed at addressing those through the emulation biological immune adaptation mechanisms, self-recovery swarm intelligence. It integrates lightweight technology algorithms, including an AIS for anomaly detection Proof Adaptive Immunity Consensus mechanism secure resource-efficient validation. Experimental evaluations give proof superior performance reached within framework: up 95.2% accuracy, average efficiency 91.2% when traffic flow is normal, latency low 15.2 ms during typical scenarios. Moreover, has very good since it can handle 500 nodes only about 6.0 ms.

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) and models for text, image, audio, video creation, has revolutionized content generation, creating unprecedented opportunities critical challenges. This paper systematically examines the characteristics, methodologies, challenges associated with detecting synthetic across multiple modalities, to safeguard digital authenticity integrity. Key detection approaches reviewed include stylometric analysis, watermarking, pixel prediction techniques, dual-stream networks, machine learning models, blockchain, hybrid approaches, highlighting their strengths limitations, as well accuracy, independent accuracy 80% analysis up 92% using modalities in approaches. effectiveness these techniques is explored diverse contexts, from identifying deepfakes media AI-generated scientific texts. Ethical concerns, such privacy violations, algorithmic bias, false positives, overreliance on automated systems, are also critically discussed. Furthermore, addresses legal regulatory frameworks, intellectual property emerging legislation, emphasizing need robust governance mitigate misuse. Real-world examples systems analyzed provide practical insights into implementation Future directions developing generalizable adaptive fostering collaboration between stakeholders, integrating ethical safeguards. By presenting a comprehensive overview AIGC detection, this aims inform researchers, policymakers, practitioners addressing dual-edged implications AI-driven creation.

This paper presents a novel framework designed to enhance the certification of real estate ownership and transactions through integration Ethereum blockchain technology, Near Field Communication (NFC), smart contracts. The proposed architecture establishes secure, transparent, efficient digital certificate management system by leveraging immutable records, decentralized document storage via InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), NFC tags for effective physical-to-digital integration. implementation employs encryption keys, Quick Response (QR) codes, ensure data integrity accessibility. A user-centric design has been developed accommodate various stakeholders, including property owners, buyers, notaries, land registry officials. solution significantly improves upon traditional transaction methods facilitating end-to-end transactions, enhancing transparency traceability, substantially reducing risk fraud. By empowering participants execute update records on platform, this fosters increased trust operational efficiency within Albanian market. Furthermore, ensures compatibility with existing tax payment procedures, providing seamless transition all stakeholders involved. findings project aim not only revolutionize practices in Albania, but also offer scalable model global implementation. addressing challenges associated innovative contributes safer, more environment. is characterized legal compliance, enhanced robust fraud prevention mechanisms, ultimately paving way modernized approach Albania beyond.
