Security analysis in heterogeneous fault-tolerant control plane by Qi WU, Hongchang CHEN, Fucai CHEN

“…With the large-scale application of software-defined networks,the security of software-defined networks becomes more and more important.As an important defense idea,the fault-tolerant control plane based on heterogeneity has attracted more and more researchers' attention in recent years.However,the existing researches ignore the problem of common vulnerability in heterogeneous variants,which greatly reduces the security benefits of the fault-tolerant control architecture for software-defined networks.Addressing this problem,the common vulnerability was taken in heterogeneous variants into considerations.First,the tolerance capability of the fault-tolerant control plane was quantified.Then a control plane deployment method was constructed which was able to maximize the tolerance capability.The simulations show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the failure probability of the control plane.When the attackers attack the control plane constructed based on the proposed method,they pay more attack cost to compromise the control plane.…”

Reinforcement learning based group key agreement scheme with reduced latency for VANET by Tangwei1 XU, Hailu ZHANG, Chuhuan LIU, Liang XIAO, Zhenmin ZHU

“…Key agreement scheme of vehicle ad hoc networks (VANET) determines the privacy and security against user identity-based attacks,such as spoofing attack.The existing work updates the group shared key at a fixed frequency,which increases the processing latency of the key updates and the encryption and decryption of group communication.A reinforcement learning based dynamic key agreement scheme was proposed to enable the group cluster head to optimize the key update frequency and key length.This scheme optimizes the calculation latency of encryption and decryption based on the number of surrounding vehicles,the previous key update records without the knowledge of the traffic flow model and the access-driven cache attack model.Simulation results show that this scheme reduces the transmission delay of the communication overhead and the computational latency of encryption and decryption,and improves the security of the group key compared with the benchmark scheme.…”

Method against process control-flow hijacking based on mimic defense by Chuanxing PAN, Zheng ZHANG, Bolin MA, Yuan YAO, Xinsheng JI

“…To defeat the attack of process control flow hijacking, a threat model was established from the point of vulnerability utilization, and the fortress defense to cut off the key vulnerability utilization path was proposed.On the basis of studying the principle of mimic defense, a threat model of process mimic execution was proposed, and the threat model was analyzed and proved to be effective.Mimic execution could effectively cut off the attack path of control flow hijacking.The ptototype of mimic execution, MimicBox, was implemented.The validation experiment shows that MimicBox can effectively defend against most control flow hijacking attacks based on known binary vulnerabilities.The performance evaluation result shows that the overhead MimicBox lead to is less than 13% on CPU-intensive programs.The Comparative evaluation result shows that mimic execution is a more effective and practical active defense method compared with control flow integrity.…”

Halftone image watermarking with block-directed parity-matched error diffusion by Kun XIE, Hai-hong ZHENG, Ping ZENG, Tao GUO

“…A robust halftone image watermarking method was proposed.The method was developed in parity domain based on pixel block.Especially,the parity sum of a pixel block was defined by comparing the average of the pixel block with an image-dependent threshold.By altering the pixel block's parity based on noise-balanced block error diffusion,watermark was spread into the host image.Watermark was retrieved by employing each pixel block's parity and majority voting strategy,not referring to the original image.Compared with the state-of-the-art method in parity domain,the re-sults indicate that the proposed method has high watermark rate and watermark rate flexibility.Moreover,it is capable of extracting watermark directly from the attacked watermarked image without quantizing it into a halftone image.And it can achieve high robustness against common attacks and print-and-scan attack of different types of printers and scanners.…”

Design and performance analysis of a SDN-based intelligent and collaborative Honeynet for mobile networks environment by Liyue CHEN, Yangdan NI, Xiaoyun KONG, Sheng ZHOU, Hui HUANG, Xing ZHENG

“…In the mobile network environment,the mobile honeypot resources are limited and the attack injection means are flexible,so it is necessary to dynamically deploy the honeynet to collaboratively detect the attack behavior characteristics.However,existing honey nets are susceptible to feature recognition attacks,malicious traffic within the network,and can’t be migrated across honeypots.Based on software defined networking (SDN) technology,an intelligent collaborative honeynet system (ic-Honeynet) was designed.It consisted of a reverse connection proxy module and a honeynet controller.Finally,an ic-Honeynet experimental environment was built and the effectiveness of the system was verified.The experimental results show that the throughput of the system is nearly linear,up to 8.23 Gbit/s; the additional increase in response delay is small,only in the range of 0.5 to 1.2 ms; the connection processing capability is also very strong,up to 1 473 connections/s.…”

Analysis and improvement of ZG off-line TTP non-repudiation protocol by LIU Dong-mei1, QING Si-han 2, LI Peng-fei4, LI Shang-jie1

“…Based on the weakness of ZG off-line TTP（trusted third party） non-repudiation protocol because of using pro-tocol deadline, the improvement of the ZG off-line TTP non-repudiation protocol was given, which eliminated the delay-ing resolve request attack and ensured non-repudiation and fairness.Therefore, two kinds of improvement of ZG off-line TTP non-repudiation protocol were given, which had different point of focus.Among them, the first one could eliminate delaying message attack in ZG protocol;the second one also had the property of preventing the abuse of sub-protocol be-sides eliminating delaying message attack.The first one is suitable for electronic payment and certified email, but the second one is suitable for digital contract signature.…”

Pair-wise key establishment for wireless sensor networks based on fully homomorphic encryption by Yong ZHANG, Tao WEN, Quan GUO, Feng-kun LI

“…An attack on the permutation-based multi-polynomial scheme exposed in the paper of Guo was proposed.The scheme couldn’t frustrate the large-scale node capture attack was proved.A pair-wise key establishment scheme was proposed by introducing homomorphic encryption thought,which was used to protect polynomials and made all keys be established in encrypted state.Therefore,the large-scale node capture attack was thwarted because adversaries couldn’t get any information about polynomials from the encrypted data used to establish keys.A method was presented to achieve fully homomorphic encryption indirectly,which used much less storage and computation resource than existing fully homomorphic encryption.The analysis and experiment show our pair-wise key establishment scheme has very good performance in terms of storage,computation as well as communication and is suitable to wireless sensor networks with limited capability.…”

Container intrusion detection method based on host system call frequency by Yimu JI, Weidong YANG, Kui LI, Shangdong LIU, Qiang LIU, Sisi SHAO, Shuai YOU, Naijiao HUANG

“…Container technology has become a widely used virtualization technology in cloud platform due to its lightweight virtualization characteristics.However, it shares the kernel with the host, so it has poor security and isolation, and is vulnerable to flood, denial of service, and escape attacks.In order to effectively detect whether the container is attacked or not, an intrusion detection method based on host system call frequency was proposed.This method took advantage of the different frequency of system call between different attack behaviors, collected the system call generated when the container was running, extracted the system call features by combining the sliding window and TF-IDF algorithm, and classified by comparing the feature similarity.The experimental results show that the detection rate of this method can reach 97%, and the false alarm rate is less than 4%.…”
