Identity-based cloud storage integrity checking from lattices by Miaomiao TIAN, Chuang GAO, Jie CHEN

“…With the rapid development of cloud storage,more and more users are storing their data in the cloud.To verify whether the users’ data stored in the cloud is corrupted,one effective method is to adopt cloud storage integrity checking schemes.An identity-based cloud storage integrity checking scheme was proposed on the small integer solution problem over ideal lattices,and it was proven to be secure against the adaptive identity attacks of clouds in the random oracle model.To validate the efficiency of the scheme,extensive experiments were conducted to make performance-comparisons between the scheme and the existing two identity-based cloud storage integrity checking schemes.The experimental results show that the online tag-generation time and the proof-verification time of the scheme are respectively reduced by 88.32%～93.74% and 98.81%～99.73%.…”

Watermarking algorithm for image authentication based on second generation Bandelet by LIU Xu-chong1, LUO Yong1, WANG Jian-xin1, WANG Jie1

“…A watermarking algorithm for image authentication was designed,which was based on second generation Bandelet translation and statistical model.The image directional flow was constructed by using Bandelet,and it could depict the characteristic of the image.By applying noise visibility function,the noise visibility intensity algorithm which was based on Gaussian statistical models was proposed.The blocks of image which contain more texture information were selected to hide the image directional flow,based on the noise visibility intensity algorithm.The image was authen-ticated through comparing the hiding information and the carrier image directional flow created by Bandelet.Experimen-tal results show that the algorithm can resist the JPEG compression and noise attack strongly and guarantee the quality of the sight.It is a blind detection algorithm,and this algorithm has high concealment performance and security.…”

Study on BGP route leak by Jia JIA, Zhi-wei YAN, Guang-gang GENG, Jian JIN

“…With the rapid expansion of the scale of Internet,BGP plays a more and more important role in the Inter domain routing system.BGP has a lot of security risks,which result in prefix hijacking,AS_PATH hijacking and route leak attacks occuring frequently,causing serious threats to the Internet.In currently,the content introduction and security research mechanism were little,so a detailed study of BGP route leak was carried out.The BGP proto-col,route policy and established rules were introduced,six types of major route leak security incidents were analy-sised,the current security mechanisms and methods were summarized and compared to solve and detect route leak.In the last,a new prospect for the security and protection mechanism of route leak was proposed.…”

Trust expansion and listwise learning-to-rank based service recommendation method by Chen FANG, Hengwei ZHANG, Ming ZHANG, Jindong WANG

“…In view of the problem of trust relationship in traditional trust-based service recommendation algorithm,and the inaccuracy of service recommendation list obtained by sorting the predicted QoS,a trust expansion and listwise learning-to-rank based service recommendation method (TELSR) was proposed.The probabilistic user similarity computation method was proposed after analyzing the importance of service sorting information,in order to further improve the accuracy of similarity computation.The trust expansion model was presented to solve the sparseness of trust relationship,and then the trusted neighbor set construction algorithm was proposed by combining with the user similarity.Based on the trusted neighbor set,the listwise learning-to-rank algorithm was proposed to train an optimal ranking model.Simulation experiments show that TELSR not only has high recommendation accuracy,but also can resist attacks from malicious users.…”

La femme allaitant des serpents et ses liens avec la Luxure by Raphaël Guesuraga

Conversely, an investigation of the representations of Lust as a capital sin throughout the Middle Ages shows that it is rather depicted as a woman looking in a mirror than by a woman suckling snakes. …”

Research on trust transitivity and aggregation in evidential trust model by JIANG Li-ming1, ZHANG Kun1, XU Jian1, LIAO Jun1, ZHANG Hong1

“…Current trust models had some certain disadvantages in dealing with trust transitivity and trust aggregation.Firstly,these models ignored the feedback trust measurement on the direct recommender in the process of trust transitivity.Secondly,the models contained the problems of information loss or repetitive calculation for the limits in analysis and dis-posal of the dependent relationships among referral chains.A new evidential trust model was proposed,and the problems existed in current methods for transferring and aggregating trust relationships were addressed by combing D-S evidence with graph theory.It can be seen from the simulation results that compared with existing trust models,the proposed model is more robust on defending malicious attacks for various strategy cheating and collusion,and has more remarkable en-hancements in the accuracy of trust measurement.…”

Research on deep differential fault analysis against MIBS by ZHAO Xin-jie1, WANG Tao 1, WANG Su-zhen2, WU Yang1

“…The MIBS algorithm and its differential fault analysis principle were presented,then three differential fault analysis methods against MIBS were proposed based on different depth of fault model and verified through experiments.Experiment results demonstrate that due to its Feistel structure and S-box differential feature,MIBS is vulnerable to deep differential fault attack.The best result is that after injecting one 4-bit fault into the 30th round left register,both the fault location and fault differential are unknown,the 64-bit MIBS master key searching space can be reduced to 224 and be re-covered after one minute brute-force-search.Moreover,the fault analysis method can provide some ideas on differential fault analysis against other block ciphers using S-box.…”
