Achieving efficient dynamic cryptographic access control in cloud storage by HONG Cheng, ZHANG Min, FENG Deng-guo

“…To keep the data in the cloud confidential against unauthorized parties,a cryptographic access control solution called hybrid cloud re-encryption（HCRE） based on attribute-based encryption（ABE） was introduced.HCRE designed a secret sharing scheme to delegate the task of ABE re-encryption to the cloud service provider（CSP）,which alleviates the administering burdens on the data owner.Experiments show that HCRE can handle dynamic access policies in a more ef-ficient way.Additionally,HCRE does not reveal extra information of the plaintext to the CSP,thus it does no harm to the data confidentiality.…”

Research and implementation of network transmission situation awareness by ZHUO Ying, GONG Chun-ye, GONG Zheng-hu

“…The advanced ideas of situation awareness were introduced to network transmission and NTSA（network transmission situation awareness） model was established based on spatial traffic clustering.Around the key technologies of the model,situation factors were selected according to information gain and mutual information;a high-dimensional data stream clustering algorithm for transmission pattern partition as well as a topology importance analysis method of network element based on graph theory were proposed;furthermore,a NTSA prototype system was designed and imple-mented.The experiment results on real datasets demonstrate the efficiency,effectiveness and scalability.…”

TCCL:secure and efficient development of desktop cloud structure by Bin WANG, Wei-min LI, Jin-fang SHENG, Si-nuo XIAO

“…A secure and efficient development of desktop cloud structure:TCCL (transparent computing-based cloud),which was designed under the guidance of transparent computing,was proposed.TCCL applied the method,separating calculation and storage,loading in a block streaming way which was proposed in the transparent computing theory,to the cloud desktop system,and deployed the defense module of security threats under the cloud VM (virtual machine).As a result,the TCCL could improve the security level on the cloud VMs’ system files and data files,and could optimize the cloud virtual machines' storage efficiency.…”
