Research on algorithm for raster map multi-level sharing based on region incrementing color visual cryptography by Liguo FANG, Zhengxin FU, Hao HU, Gang SHEN, Bin YU

“…In view of the characteristics of raster map,important data of the map were divided into different map layers by using the idea of map segmentation.A regional incremental color visual cryptographic scheme for raster map sharing was designed,and a model based on this scheme was proposed.At the same time,the specific application process was given.In order to solve the problem of large pixel expansibility and poor visual effect of image recovery in traditional regional incremental visual cryptography scheme,random numbers and the access structure optimization were used.Construction of the method was simple and the additional overhead of generating and saving the encryption matrix was avoided.The experimental results show that the scheme can achieve multilevel raster map sharing with the map’s perfect recovery,meanwhile the extension of the scheme pixel is greatly reduced.…”

Application of 5.8 GHz optical fiber converged communication in transmission line monitoring system by Jie TONG, Yanli LIU, Delong YANG, Hongli LUO, Huan WANG

“…When in the depths of the mountains,2G/3G signal is weak or don't exist,or when the high definition video is needed,2G/3G couldn't meet requirements of such high bandwidth,so that communication is intermittent or interrupt,resulting in the condition monitoring data is difficult to transmit reliably to the master station.To solve this problem,2G/3G+5.8 GHz or 5.8 GHz +OPGW converged communication mode was proposed,the signal could be switched automatically to the 5.8 GHz communication mode,and transmits back to the master station after converging the main line and OPGW.Based on the optical fiber converged communication,the transmission line monitoring system and work flow were designed and the application example and the future development prospect were given finally.…”

Quantitative method for network security situation based on attack prediction by Hao HU, Run-guo YE, Hong-qi ZHANG, Ying-jie YANG, Yu-ling LIU

“…To predict the attack behaviors accurately and comprehensively as well as to quantify the threat of attack,a quantitative method for network security situation based on attack prediction was proposed.By fusing the situation factors of attacker,defender and network environment,the capability of attacker and the exploitability rate of vulnerability were evaluated utilizing the real-time detected attack events,and the expected time-cost for attack-defense were further calculated.Then an attack prediction algorithm based on the dynamic Bayesian attack graph was designed to infer the follow-up attack actions.At last,the attack threat was quantified as the security risk situation from two levels of the hosts and the overall network.Experimental analysis indicates that the proposed method is suitable for the real adversarial network environment,and is able to predict the occurrence time of attack accurately and quantify the attack threat reasonably.…”

Privacy protection scheme based on fair blind signature and hierarchical encryption for consortium blockchain by Xuewang ZHANG, Zhihong LI, Jinzhao LIN

“…To solve the security hazards of identity information and transaction data and the time-consuming problem of traditional single-level encryption methods in the current application scenarios of consortium blockchain, a privacy protection scheme of consortium blockchain based on fair blind signature and hierarchical encryption was proposed.Considering the strong centrality and poor security of the existing fair blind signature scheme, it was redesigned with zero-knowledge proof technology to be applicable for consortium blockchain application scenario.Based on the Paillier homomorphic encryption algorithm, a supervisable hierarchical encryption method was designed, and the method realized the supervision of encrypted transaction data information and reduced the time cost of the encryption and decryption process.The security analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively resist malicious attacks such as tampering and eavesdropping and significantly improve the encryption efficiency.…”
