Anti malicious KGC certificateless signature scheme based on blockchain and domestic cryptographic SM9 by Fei TANG, Ning GAN, Xianggui YANG, Jinyang WANG

“…The certificateless cryptosystem can solve the problems of certificate management and key escrow at the same time, but its security model always assumes that Type II adversary (named malicious KGC) will not launch public key replacement attacks.This security assumption has certain limitations in real-world applications.As an efficient identity-based cryptographic scheme, SM9 signature scheme adopts R-ate bilinear pairing which has good security and high computational efficiency.However, it requires KGC to generate and manage keys for users, so it has the problem of key escrow.In view of the above problems, a certificateless signature scheme against malicious KGC was constructed based on blockchain and SM9 signature algorithm.Based on the properties of decentralization and tamper-proof of blockchain, the proposed scheme used the smart contract to record part of the public key corresponding to the user’s secret value on the blockchain.Then, the verifier can revoke the smart contract to query the user’s public key during the signature verification stage.Therefore, the proposed scheme ensured the authenticity of the user’s public key.The user’s private key consisted of the partial private key generated by KGC and a secret randomly chosen by the user.The user required the partial private key generated by KGC to endorse his identity identifier when the user generates the private key for the first time.Subsequently, the private key can be independently updated by changing the secret and the corresponding partial public key.During this process, the identity remains unchanged, which provided a viable solution for key management in decentralized application scenarios.The blockchain relied on the consensus mechanism to ensure the consistency of the distributed data.Based on the traceability of the blockchain, the change log of user’s partial public key was stored in the blockchain, which can trace the source of malicious public key replacement attacks and thereby prevent malicious KGC from launching public key replacement attacks.According to the experimental simulation and security proof results, the total overhead of signature and verification of the proposed scheme is only 7.4ms.Compared with similar certificateless signature schemes, the proposed scheme can effectively resist public key replacement attacks and has higher computational efficiency.…”

Discriminative zero-watermarking algorithm based on region XOR and ternary quantization by Deyang WU, Sen HU, Miaomiao WANG, Haibo JIN, Changbo QU, Yong TANG

“…Aiming at the problem that the current zero-watermark algorithm is insufficient in distinguishing the zero-watermark generated by the attacked image and the false-alarm image, a high-resolution zero-watermarking algorithm based on regional XOR and ternary quantization was proposed.In the process of zero watermark generation, the spatial and frequency domain features of the image were first extracted, the carrier feature and copyright watermark were redundantly constructed, and the frequency domain feature was used as an index to divide the redundant watermark into two regions, which were respectively related to the spatial domain features and the copyright watermark.The chaotic matrix was XOR, and the two regions after XOR were combined to obtain zero watermark.In the copyright authentication process, the airspace and frequency domain features were extracted from the attacked image, and the frequency domain feature was used as an index to divide the zero watermark into two regions, which were XOR with the airspace feature and the chaotic matrix respectively, and the redundantly constructed watermark was extracted.The image, after de-redundancy operation, was quantized into a matrix with only three values as the result of copyright authentication.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the false alarm problem of image zero watermark, and at the same time has high robustness under various attacks, the feature extraction algorithm can be arbitrarily replaced, and has high scalability.…”

New method for file deduplication in cloud storage by Chao YANG, Qian JI, Si-chun XIONG, Mao-zhen LIU, Jian-feng MA, Qi JIANG, Lin BAI

“…Deduplication is widely used in cloud storage service to save bandwidth and storage resources,however,the security of client deduplication still flaws in an external attack to access a user’s private data.Xu-CDE,a deduplication solution of encrypting data for multi-client was first proposed,which could protect the privacy of data from the external attackers and honest but curious server,with favorable theoretical meaning and representativeness.However,in Xu-CDE,the user ownership authentication credentials were lack of instantaneity protection,which could not resist replay attack.As an improvement to the flaw,the protocol MRN-CDE (MLE based and random number modified client-side deduplication of encrypted data in cloud storage) was proposed,adding random number in order to ensure the instantaneity of the authentication credentials,and using the algorithm of MLE-K_Pto extract key from original file to replace the file itself as an encryption key.As a consequence,the new protocol improved security while significantly reduced the amount of computation.After the safety analysis and the actual tests,results show that based on Xu-CDE,the proposed protocol MRN-CDE has stronger security of ownership,and improves time efficiency.Specially,the new protocol works better on large files in cloud with a certain value.…”
