Distributed trust model based on parameter modeling by Jing-pei WANG, Bin SUN, Xin-xin NIU, Yi-xian YANG

“…A distributed trust model based on parameter modeling was posed.Nine functional parameters were extracted after investigating the trust mechanism and current trust models.These parameters included flexibility,subjectivity,fuzziness,time decay property,transitivity,anti-attacks property,rewards ＆amp; punishment property,sensitivity and scalability.Each parameter was modeled and integrated to form a comprehensive trust model.Analytical results indicate that the proposed trust model satisfies all the nine functional parameters and thus has fair universality Experimental results show that the proposed trust model is reasonable and effective.Comparisons with previous algorithms indicate that the performance of the proposed trust model has been improved.…”

Improvement on simulating TCP connection establishment in NS2 by Yu JIANG, Jian REN, Li-ming ZHOU

“…In the procedure of three-way handshake of transmission control protocol connection establishment,it involves the management of half-connection and connection tables.However,in the famous networks simulator NS2,there is only a formal description instead of a concrete and complete implementation for the procedure of TCP connection establishment.An improvement was beed made on the point.Table structures for half-connections and connections are added,and the way of managing half-connection table in Linux kernel is also imported into NS2.Simulation results show that it is clear to monitor the change in half-connection table in the TCP connection establishment procedure,and thus the requirement of simulating the connection establishment procedure in studies such as protection from TCP SYN flooding attack can be met.…”

Theoretical Studies on the Reaction Mechanism for the Cycloaddition of Zwitterionic π-Allenyl Palladium Species: Substrate-Controlled Isomerization by Yongjie Long, Jiahao Shen, Min Shi, Yin Wei

“…Further DFT calculation studies show that zwitterionic π-allenyl palladium species are generated through the oxidative addition of Pd(0), which can be promoted by Lewis acid like Yb(OTf)₃, and the cycloaddition more likely undergoes through an outer sphere nucleophilic attack. The isomerization is caused by the difference of dissociation energy between the cycloaddition intermediation of tropsulfimides and tropones, forming the substrate-controlled specificity.…”

Trust system based on node behavior detection in Internet of Things by Yan-bing LIU, Xue-hong GONG, Yan-fen FENG

“…Establishing a trust system, which considers energy efficiency and a trust metric aware both subjectivity and objectivity in the Internet of Things, is a powerful technique to defend against malicious attacks and improve the per-formance of network. A trust system based on behavior detection was proposed, which takes direct trust, recommended trust as well as history statistical trust into trust evaluation periodically and in communication. …”

Monitoring approach for online security of cryptographic protocol by Yu-na ZHU, Ji-hong HAN, Lin YUAN, Yu-dan FAN, Han-tuo CHEN, Wen GU

“…Previous methods can not detect the low-interaction attacks of protocol logic.A cryptographic protocol online monitoring approach named CPOMA was presented.An ontology framework of cryptographic protocol features was constructed for the unified description of cryptographic protocol features with different types.Based on the framework,a feature weighting method was proposed by fuzzy subspace clustering first,and the individualized feature database of cryptographic protocols was built.On this basis,a self-learning method was presented for protocol identification and session rebuilding,and then abnormal protocol sessions were detected online.Experimental results show that CPOMA can identify protocols,rebuild sessions,detect abnormal sessions efficiently,and can improve the online security of cryptographic protocols.…”

Research progress of mimic multi-execution scheduling algorithm by Zhengbin ZHU, Qinrang LIU, Dongpei LIU, Chong WANG

“…Mimic defense is the new active defense technology based on the dynamic heterogeneous redundant architecture.With inherent uncertainty, heterogeneous, redundant and negative feedback features, it can significantly improve the robustness and security of system.Among them, the scheduling algorithm is the key to mimic defense technology, which advantages and disadvantages directly affect the ability of system to resist attacks based on known or unknown vulnerabilities.Based on this, the principle and goal of mimic scheduling algorithm were firstly introduced.Then the state-of-the-art of mimic scheduling algorithms were analyzed and summarized from three aspects, such as scheduling object, scheduling quantity and scheduling timing.Finally, the future research direction and trend of mimic scheduling algorithms were prospected.…”

Security authentication protocol based on elliptic curve cryptography and cookie information for terminal of IoT by Jie ZHAO, Huarong ZHANG

“…For the security problem of terminal devices accessing to the network server in internet of things（IoT），an identity authentication protocol was presented based on elliptic curve cryptography（ECC）and cookie information for internet of things terminal.Firstly，the protocol used user identity information，server private key，random number and expiration time of cookie to form a cookie file.Then，it was encrypted with ECC and stored in the smart terminal.In authentication phase，the mutual authentication was achieved by comparing the security parameters calculated by cookie information.Performance analysis shows that it can resist many kinds of attacks and provide high security，low computation and low communication cost，which was suitable for the terminal devices of limited resources in internet of things.…”

Optimal combined distinguisher of stream cipher with multiple independent distinguishing characters by Hai-ying GAO, Chen-hui JIN

“…It is an open problem to combine many distinguishing characters to construct a distinguisher with more advantage.An optimal combined distinguisher based on multiple independent distinguishing characters was proposed.The computing method of distinguishing advantage of this combined distinguisher was presented and the conclusion was given that the data complexity decreased on the condition of same distinguishing advantage,and the distinguishing advantage increased on the condition of the same data complexity when more distinguishing characters were used in distinguishing attack.Let N denote the data complexity of distinguisher with only one character,then the data complexity of combined distinguisher with k-independent characters was about N/k for special case that all distinguishing advantages of k-independent characters were equal.…”
