Time deterministic routing algorithm and protocol based on time-varying graph over the space-ground integrated network by Hongyan LI, Tao ZHANG, Jingqian ZHANG, Keyi SHI, Pengcheng ZENG

“…In terms of the difficulties to construct the end-to-end path and improve the utilization of network resources,caused by the time-varying multi-dimensional resources and diverse services over the space-ground integrated networks,the time-varying graph-based time deterministic routing algorithm and protocol for the space-ground integrated network was proposed.Firstly,a time-varying continuous graph model was constructed to describe the spatial and temporal attributes of multi-dimensional resources,such as the topology,link connectivity opportunities,node caching and so on.Then,a service-oriented time deterministic routing algorithm was proposed.According to the calculation rules of link cumulative traffic,and the constraints of node flow conservation and cache,the time-varying path with the shortest transmission delay was constructed.After that,a delay-guaranteed time deterministic routing protocol was designed by combining the proposed routing algorithm with both the segment routing technology and the time sensitive network technology,which supported the dynamic topology discovery,the efficient calculation of deterministic routing and the timing forwarding of data packets on the time-varying network.The simulation results show that,compared with the routing algorithm based on snapshot graph and contact graph,the proposed routing algorithm has higher link resource utilization rate and the packet successful delivery rate by jointly using link and node storage resources by association,and ensures the end-to-end transmission delay of services.…”

Dystopia, surveillance and the spaces of social control in Jenni Fagan’s The Panopticon (2012) by Claire Wrobel

Scheme on user identity attribute preserving based on ring signcryption for cloud computing by Shuan-bao LI, Jian-ming FU, Huan-guo ZHANG, Jing CHEN, Jing WANG, Bi-jun REN

“…Identity attribute leak as the most severe security threat of cloud computing,in order to solve this problem,a protection scheme of identity attributes based on ring signcryption was proposed.Focused on digital identity management in cloud service,which discusses user key parting management with decentralization.Users can choose some seeds for generation and storage of key,then integrated user key cannot be acquired by registrar,based on this payload on certifica-tion management is reduced.In addition,access-centric blindness ring signcryption verification for identity attribute is designed,which constitutes ring of users and CSP,combined with own attribute users can accomplish ring-oriented sub-linear blindness signcryption and non-interactive public ciphertext verifiability for messages so that integrity and confidentiality of identity attribute can be protected avoiding identity attribute leakage in collusion of multi-CSP.At last,strong blindness and unforgeability of ciphertext and attribute is proved in proposed model,three private key components can be generated by users and identity forgeability of ring member can be prevented successfully on the condition of DBDH difficult assumption and adaptive chosen-ciphertex tattacking.Effectiveness of proposed mechanism is verified via performance evaluation of blindness ring signcryption algorithm based on comprehensive payload in identity attribute protection,and optimization is confirmed compared with similar algorithms.…”
