Florida Bromeliad Weevil (no official common name), Metamasius mosieri Barber (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Dryophthorinae) by Barbra Larson, J. Howard Frank, Olan Ray Creel

“…It should not be confused with the Mexican bromeliad weevil, Metamasius callizona, which is currently attacking five species of native bromeliads in 16 counties and will likely destroy populations of six additional species of already-threatened or endangered bromeliads if not brought under control. …”

Secure supply and demand relationship perception routing in intermittently connected wireless networks by Peng YANG, Yang TANG, Na SHU, Ru-yan WANG

“…Because of low message delivery probability and nodes malicious attack behaviors in the quota-limit routing for intermittently connected wireless networks,a secure routing is proposed based on supply and demand relationship perception.According to activity degree,average residual buffer ratio of neighbors and encountered nodes reputation dynamically perceived by nodes,the encountered nodes in real time build the supply and demand model and determine the message quota allocation combined with the message survival ratio in common.When network status meets constraint situations,update message quota dynamically based on demand elasticity of message.Simulation results show that the proposed strategy effectively reduces influence of nodes malicious behaviors and improve network performance greatly.…”

Identity authentication scheme based on identity-based encryption by Ren-ji HUANG, Xiao-ping WU, Hong-cheng LI

“…In large-scale communication nodes network,there are a large number of network nodes and so many types of equipment.So there are problems of certificate management difficulties and resource waste in the tradi-tional PKI cryptosystem.A mutual node authentication scheme based on identity-based encryption,which solved the problem of the digital certificate management in the PKI system by the identity-based encryption and the key escrow problem in identity based cryptograph by splitting the key as well,was designed.At the same time,the introduction of random factor,timestamp and hash algorithm in the authentication protocol prevented various network attacks.Finally,the security and efficiency of the encryption algorithm and the security of the authentication protocol were analyzed,which proved the security and reliability of the authentication scheme.…”

Detection of phishing websites based on the improved TrustRank algorithm by Hao HAN, Bowen LIU, Guoyuan LIN

“…Anti-phishing methods just generally detect phishing sites based on comparing the similarity of pages features,which could be anti-detected when attackers are clear about the extraction process of features.Therefore,a method based on web pages relationship was proposed to detect phishing websites.According to this method,phishing websites were detected by an improved TrustRank algorithm which set up a collection of web pages and used the link relationship between phishing websites and other websites.Experiments show that the improved TrustRank algorithm can focus the trust values of phishing websites on some range with the lower false positive rate,the lower false negative rate and the higher speed compared to other methods.…”

Decision-level fusion model of multi-source intrusion detection alerts by LI Zhi-dong, YANG Wu, WANG Wei, MAN Da-peng

“…In order to lessen the dependence on training samples significantly and eliminate rigorous constraint conditions,an alert fusion model that supports online incremental training was presented.Firstly,primary alerts vector was mapped to voting pattern,so as to reduce statistical space.Then,the conditional probability distributions of various voting patterns in normal or attack traffic were inferred via training.Afterwards,according to the variation of statistical characteristics,the composition of the traffic being detected was inferred instantly.Finally,fusion decision was made via threshold constraint method and Bayesian inference.Besides extended applicative scope,the model proposed can track and adapt to the traffic being detected well,and improve detection performance significantly only via small scale training.…”

Provable secure mutual RFID authentication protocol based on QC-MDPC code by Ze-hui LI, Ya-tao YANG, Zi-chen LI

“…The security of radio frequency identification (RFID) has become an increasingly severe issue.In order to protect the security of information interaction in wireless channel of RFID system,a mutual RFID authentication secure protocol was proposed.It was like the Niederreiter type public cryptography which based on the quasi-cyclic medium density parity check code(QC-MDPC).The security proof for this novel protocol was given by using a reduction method ，and the hardness of attacking was reduced to the decoding problem of the linear codes.Besides the performance results also exhibit that compared with other RFID authentication protocols,this protocol is more suitable for RFID system in areas of interaction,computation and storage,which owns limited resource and needs high efficiency.…”
