Fast handover authentication scheme in 5G mobile edge computing scenarios by Weicheng ZHANG, Hongquan WEI, Shuxin LIU, Liming PU

“…The 5G internet of things brings the ultimate experience to users, but it also puts forward new challenges.Users’ requirements of ultra-low latency experience, access to business without sense during movement and security guarantee have attracted much attention.Mobile edge computing can meet the strict requirements of 5G with low latency, large connection and high bandwidth.As a computing paradigm with the coexistence of multi-trust domains, multi-entities and cross-trust domains are interconnected frequently.Identity authentication is particularly important for security protection.Through the research on the identity authentication mechanism under the existing edge computing paradigm, a lightweight fast handover authentication scheme based on pre-authentication was proposed.The proposed solution moved services and calculations from the cloud to the edge.Biometric fingerprint technology was used on the client side to defend against terminal theft attacks.Edge servers in different regions used pre-authentication scheme to meet fast switching requirements.The user and the edge server established a secure channel by negotiating a shared session key in real time, and the authentication scheme ensured lightweight operation with XOR and hash operation.The proposed scheme was evaluated from two aspects of security and performance.Theoretical design analysis and formal tool verification were carried out for security evaluation.The formal analysis tool, AVISPA, was used to verify the improved security of the proposed scheme in the presence of intruders.The performance was mainly evaluated from the computing cost and communication cost of the authentication scheme.The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme reduces communication cost, and the computational overhead can meet the needs of mobile terminals with limited resources.As the future work, the scheme will be improved from two aspects: one is to strengthen the scalability to ensure that users and edge servers can join and exit at any time, and the other one is to strengthen the universality of the scheme to meet the access deployment of third-party service providers.…”

Signatures of Transient Overvoltages in Low Voltage Power Systems in Tea Factories and Their Implications on Insulation Deterioration and Allied Power Quality Issues by Earl A. R. L. Pannila, Mahesh Edirisinghe

“…These steeply passing overvoltage stresses let partial discharges ensue, which can attack the insulation over long service. To unveil this danger, 314 common-mode transient waveforms were measured in the electrical machines of five tea factories in Sri Lanka, in a 50 ms measurement window, taken in 55 measuring attempts. …”

Distributed user privacy preserving adjustable personalized QoS prediction model for cloud services by Jianlong XU, Jian LIN, Yusen LI, Zhi XIONG

“…Personalized quality of service （QoS） prediction is crucial for developing high-quality cloud service system.However, the traditional collaborative filtering method, based on centralized training, presents challenges in protecting user privacy.In order to effectively protect user privacy while obtaining highly accurate prediction effect, a distributed user privacy adjustable personalized QoS prediction model for cloud services （DUPPA） was proposed.The model adopted a “server-multi-user” architecture, in which the server coordinated multiple users, handled multiple users’ requests for uploading model gradients and downloading global model, and maintained global model parameters.To further protect user privacy, a user privacy adjustment strategy was proposed to balance privacy and prediction accuracy by adjusting the initialization proportion of local model parameters and gradient upload proportion.In the local model initialization stage, the user calculated the difference matrix between the local model and the global model, and selected the global model parameters corresponding to the larger elements in the difference matrix to initialize the local model parameters.In the gradient upload stage, the user can select some important gradients to upload to the server to meet the privacy protection requirements of different application scenarios.To evaluate the privacy degree of DUPPA, a data reconstruction attack method was proposed for the distributed matrix factorization model gradient sharing scheme.The experimental results show that when DUPPA sets the gradient upload proportion to 0.1 and the local model parameter initialization proportion to 0.5, the predicted MAE and RMSE are reduced by 1.27% and 0.91%, respectively, compared with the traditional centralized matrix factorization model.Besides, when DUPPA sets the gradient upload proportion to 0.1, the privacy degree is 5 times higher than when the gradient upload proportion is 1.And when DUPPA sets the local model parameter initialization proportion to 0.5, the privacy degree is 3.44 times higher than when the local model parameter initialization proportion is 1.…”
