Comprehensive influence evaluation algorithm of complex network nodes based on global-local attributes by Weijin JIANG, Ying YANG, Tiantian LUO, Wenying ZHOU, En LI, Xiaowei ZHANG

“…Mining key nodes in the network plays a great role in the evolution of information dissemination, virus marketing, and public opinion control, etc.The identification of key nodes can effectively help to control network attacks, detect financial risks, suppress the spread of viruses diseases and rumors, and prevent terrorist attacks.In order to break through the limitations of existing node influence assessment methods with high algorithmic complexity and low accuracy, as well as one-sided perspective of assessing the intrinsic action mechanism of evaluation metrics, a comprehensive influence (CI) assessment algorithm for identifying critical nodes was proposed, which simultaneously processes the local and global topology of the network to perform node importance.The global attributes in the algorithm consider the information entropy of neighboring nodes and the shortest distance nodes between nodes to represent the local attributes of nodes, and the weight ratio of global and local attributes was adjusted by a parameter.By using the SIR (susceptible infected recovered) model and Kendall correlation coefficient as evaluation criteria, experimental analysis on real-world networks of different scales shows that the proposed method is superior to some well-known heuristic algorithms such as betweenness centrality (BC), closeness centrality (CC), gravity index centrality(GIC), and global structure model (GSM), and has better ranking monotonicity, more stable metric results, more adaptable to network topologies, and is applicable to most of the real networks with different structure of real networks.…”

Revocable identity-based proxy re-signature scheme in the standard model by Xiaodong YANG, Yutong LI, Jinli WANG, Tingchun MA, Caifen WANG

“…User revocation is necessary to the practical application of identity-based proxy re-signature scheme.To solve the problem that the existing identity-based proxy re-signature schemes cannot provide revocation functionality,the notion of revocable identity-based proxy re-signature was introduced.Furthermore,the formal definition and security model of revocable identity-based proxy re-signature were presented.Based on proxy re-signature scheme and binary tree structure,a revocable identity-based proxy re-signature scheme was proposed.In the proposed,scheme,the user's signing key consists of two parts,a secret key and an update key.The secret key transmitted over the secure channel is fixed,but the update key broadcasted by the public channel is periodically changed.Only the user who has not been revoked can obtain the update key,and then randomize the secret key and update the key to generate the corresponding signature key of the current time period.In the standard model,the proposed scheme is proved to be existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen-identity and chosen-message attacks.In addition,the proposed scheme has properties of bidirectionality and multi-use,and can resist signing key exposure attacks.The analysis results show that the proposed scheme can efficiently revoke the user and update the user’s key,and thus it has good scalability.…”

Differential analysis of lightweight cipher algorithm ACE based on MILP by Shuai LIU, Jie GUAN, Bin HU, Sudong MA

“…The differential property of the lightweight cipher algorithm ACE was researched.n-dimension ring AND-gate combination was defined and its differential property was described accurately by only O(n) expressions with the MILP method by analyzing the relationship among AND gates.The nonlinear operation of ACE was transformed to the 32-dimension ring AND-gate combination and the MILP differential model of ACE was proposed.According to the characteristics of Gurobi solver, a model for fast solving the MILP differential model of ACE was given.For ACE permutation with 3 to 6 steps, the optimal differential characteristic was obtained and its probability was improved by multi-difference technique.The differential forge attack on authenticated encryption algorithm ACE-<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mi mathvariant="script">A</mi><mi mathvariant="script">E</mi></math></inline-formula>-128 and the differential collision attack on hash algorithm ACE-<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mi mathvariant="script">H</mi></math></inline-formula>-256 was given with 3-step ACE permutation, and the success probability was 2^-90.52.And it was proved that the 4-steps ACE permutation arrived the differential security bound of 128 bit.Actually, the MILP differential description of ring AND-gate combination can be applied on more cipher algorithms, such as SIMON, Simeck.…”

Secure sensitive data deduplication schemes based on deterministic/probabilistic proof of file ownership by Yue CHEN, Chao-ling LI, Ju-long LAN, Kai-chun JIN, Zhong-hui WANG

“…To solve the difficult problems of sensitive data deduplication in cloud storage,such as detection and PoW (proofs of ownership) of the duplicated ciphertext,the attacks aiming at data sensitivity,etc,a Merkle hash tree based scheme called MHT-Dedup and a homomorphic MAC based scheme called hMAC-Dedup were proposed.Both schemes provided PoW of the ciphertext file to find duplicated files on cross-user file level and check the hash of block plaintext to find duplicated blocks on local block-level,which avoided the security flaws of the hash-as-a-proof method in the cross-user file-level client-side duplication detection.MHT-Dedup provided the deterministic PoW of file with an authen-ticating binary tree generated from the tags of encrypted blocks,which had lower computing and transferring cost,and hMAC-Dedup provided the probabilistic PoW of file by verifying some sampled blocks and their homomorphic MAC tags,which had lower additional storage cost.Analyses and comparisons show that proposed schemes are preferable in many as-pects such as supporting secure two-level client-side sensitive data deduplication and resisting to brute force attack to blocks.…”
