Research on cloud-based traffic adaptive command and control method for mobile botnet by Wei CHEN, Shi-wen ZHOU, Cheng-yu YIN

“…Botnet is a serious attack evolved from traditional malwares.With the rapid development of computing capability and mobile Internet access technology，building a realistic mobile botnet has become a potential threat.An adaptive traffic control mechanism for cloud-based mobile botnet was proposed.It adopts different traffic consumption strategies according to different 3G or Wi-Fi network environments.Then scheduling algorithms to execute botnet commands was applied.The experimental results show the traffic adaptive algorithm can improve the stealthy and efficiency of mobile botnet while ensure that the botnet commands can be executed effectively.…”

Research on DNS authoritative server’s performance and security by WANG Yao, HU Ming-zeng, YUN Xiao-chun, LI Bin, YAN Bo-ru

“…Comparing with the top-level domains（TLD） such as the root servers,the local authoritative servers were more vulnerable to device failures and malicious attacks.It was described the existence of authoritative servers and presented a novel domain measurement tool named DNSAuth to collect the information of local authoritative servers automatically.Experiments to the real-life authoritative servers were conducted which highlighting three important aspects: the distribution,the geographic location and their impacts on performance and security.According to five representative attributes,the authoritative servers of China Top100 websites were evaluated and the result shows that only 32% of all the servers act better in performance and security.…”

Efficient ID-based multicast authentication protocol in wireless sensor networks by WANG Gang1, WEN Tao1, GUO Quan2, MA Xue-bin1

“…In order to overcome the drawback of the existent multicast authentication protocol in WSN,the PKC-based services for WSN was explored and an efficient ID-based multicast authentication protocol was presented.The protocol with message recovery provided the feature that the message was recoverable from the signature and hence the computa-tional cost and communication overhead of the protocol had been reduced greatly.This protocol was proved secure against existential forgery under adaptive chosen message and ID attack in the random oracle model.The performance analysis results show that the proposed scheme can effectively reduce resource cost,adapt the characteristics of WSN and is clearly superior to the HESS,Zhang and BLS protocols.…”
