Dynamic heterogeneous scheduling method based on Stackelberg game model in container cloud by Wei ZENG, Hongchao HU, Lingshu LI, Shumin HUO

“…Container technology promotes the rapid development of cloud computing with its flexible and efficient features, but it also introduces security threats such as co-resident attacks, escape attacks, and common mode attacks.In response to these security threats, a dynamic heterogeneous scheduling method based on Stackelberg game in the container cloud was proposed.First, a heterogeneous mirrored resource pool is constructed to suppress the spread of attacks based on common-mode vulnerabilities on the cloud.Then, the offensive and defense interaction process is modeled as a Stackelberg game model.Finally, the offensive and defensive model is analyzed, and the system scheduling problem is modeled as a mixed integer non-linear programming problem to solve the system's optimal scheduling strategy.Experiments show that the proposed method can improve the defense effect of the cloud platform and reduce the system defense overhead.…”

Image encryption algorithms based on chaos through dual scrambling of pixel position and bit by Xiao-heng DENG, Chun-long LIAO, Cong-xu ZHU, Zhi-gang CHEN

“…As the current popular chaos-based image encryption algorithms with the permutation–diffusion structure have security flaws of no immunity to attack.A new image encryption algorithm was proposed based on the analysis of current algorithms,which can well resist the chosen-plaintext and the chosen-ciphertext attacks.The algorithm uses Kent chaotic map to generate key streams,and produces the parameters of the chaotic system and the iteration times according to the characteristics of plaintext pixels and input key.Firstly,the positions of pixels were shuffled totally with the chaotic sequence.Secondly,the 0 and 1 bit positions of image pixels were scrambled by using another chaotic sequence generated by the input key.The experimental results show that the algorithm cannot only resist the chosen plaintext attack and chosen ciphertext attack but also achieve better cryptographic properties,such as key space,statistical analysis.…”

Secure data collection method of WSN based on mobile Sink by Chunyu MIAO, Yuan FAN, Hui LI, Kaiqiang GE, Xiaomeng ZHANG

“…At present, WSN data collection method based on mobile Sink has some problems, such as low detection rate of network attack and large memory cost, which makes the network vulnerable to network attack and difficult to be applied in practice.To solve this problem, a secure data collection WSN method of WSN based on mobile Sink was proposed, which used convex hull algorithm of energy perception to identify data collection points, used elliptic encryption algorithm (ECC) to generate key for all nodes in the network, used ElGamal algorithm to realize node identity and message authentication, and used support vector machine (SVM) to identify network attack types.The simulation results show that the proposed secure data collection method has good performance in attack detection rate, memory overhead and packet delivery rate.…”

Security capability analysis of software-based heterogeneous redundant execution system by Bolin MA, Zheng ZHANG, Quan REN, Gaofei ZHANG, Jiangxing WU

“…Software-based redundant execution (SRE) is a popular fault-tolerant design method which makes use of faults occurring randomly to achieve fault-tolerance.Software-based heterogeneous redundant execution (SHRE) uses heterogeneous redundant software replicas with identical function based on SRE and diversity of software.By comparing the results of heterogeneous redundant software replicas, SHRE can resist threats from software vulnerabilities and homogenization.The classification method of SHRE was proposed, and the security capability of SHRE was introduced.Based on N-modular redundancy, I/O operation mode and the recovery capability of attacked software replica, resistance to attack of different structures were analyzed.The analysis shows that the security capability of SHRE performs best when it is triple-mode redundancy architecture and attacked software replica can be recovered.Besides, by shortening the recovery time of attacked software replica, security to SHRE can be improved.…”
