Privacy matching-based service proxy discovery scheme by Kui GENG, Sheng WAN, Feng-hua LI, Yuan-yuan HE, Han-yi WANG

“…According to user's requirements on the proxy performance,cost and safety in proxy discovery,and the pri-vacy-preserving issue during the process of the demand private matching,a new private matching algorithm was pre-sented based on Paillier homomorphic encryption,comprehensively considered the attributes of user and agents and their priority.It included four steps:building the similarity function based on Euclidean distance,carrying on the private matching by encryption algorithm,calculating the similarity and screening the proxy chain.Proposed scheme introduced semi trusted primary proxy from the global level,which is to manage all the sub proxy's business type and the connection status,and do the main computational overhead.At the same time,Euclidean distance and Paillier homomorphic encryp-tion algorithm were combined to support the multivariate attributes with priority to match,which can effectively protect the privacy of user and sub proxy.Finally,security analysis and evaluation results show the effectiveness and safety of proposed scheme.…”

AMTD:a way of adaptive moving target defense by Danjun LIU, Guilin CAI, Baosheng WANG

“…Moving target defense is a new way to change the asymmetry state between attack and defense,by dynamically moving target’s attacking surface.Frequency conversion of MTD is of great importance for the weighing between usability,security and defense cost.Nowadays,however,frequency conversion is usually determined by manager’s experience,which cannot create a balance between usability and security cost for the lack of theory basis.An adaptive moving target defense framework(AMTD)was proposed.AMTD can maximize system security at the lowest cost while ensuring that the system is available.The adaptability of AMTD has two modes.Firstly,the defense mode,it contains an adaptive conversion strategy to provide reacting defense triggered by security alerts and active defense triggered by timer expiration events.The other mode is the frequency conversion,which obtain the optimal conversion frequency by establishing mathematical models.Four series of simulation experiments were taken to verify the effectiveness of the solution.…”
