Data update algorithm based on secure network coding in cloud environment by Hao WU, Cheng-zhe LAI, Jiu-lun FAN, Jian-hua LIU

“…In the cloud environment for data storage,the use of secure network coding technology can be a good solution to the data privacy and reliability issues.However,each coding block usually has a high correlation after network coding,very few updates to the file need to be re-encoded which is extremely easy to cause information leakage and serious consumption of system resources.To solve this problem,a network coding cloud storage data updating algorithm was proposed.Just by sending files change difference matrix,the storage node could update parts of the coding block accordingly which could complete the entire update files.Experimental results show that compared with RS coding and Tornado coding,the algorithm can not only ensure data security,but also greatly improve the efficiency of data update and data reconstruction.…”

A survey of neural architecture search by Mingjie HE, Jie ZHANG, Shiguang SHAN

“…Recently,deep learning has achieved impressive success on various computer vision tasks.The neural architecture is usually a key factor which directly determines the performance of the deep learning algorithm.The automated neural architecture search methods have attracted more and more attentions in recent years.The neural architecture search is the automated process of seeking the optimal neural architecture for specific tasks.Currently,the neural architecture search methods have shown great potential in exploring high-performance and high-efficiency neural architectures.In this paper,a survey in this research field and categorize existing methods based on their performance estimation methods,search spaces and architecture search strategies were presented.Specifically,there were four performance estimation methods for computation cost reduction,two typical neural architecture search spaces and two types of search strategies based on discrete and continuous spaces respectively.Neural architecture search methods based on continuous space are becoming the trend of researches on neural architecture search.…”

Dynamic load balancing algorithm based on queuing theory comprehensive index evaluation by Wenbo WANG, Qingwei YE, Yu ZHOU, Zhihua LU

“…Internet communication,computer cluster and cloud environment have complex and dynamic characteristics,which can cause load imbalance easily,reduce the service efficiency and increase the energy consumption.Therefore,the load balancing technology becomes the focus of research.The existing load balancing strategy uses the occupancy of CPU,memories,processes to estimate the current load of each server.But it is hard to guarantee its accuracy.Aiming at this problem,a dynamic load balancing algorithm based on queuing theory comprehensive index evaluation was proposed.Firstly,queuing theory model was introduced to estimate the real-time load of each server,and then the tasks of input queue was distributed to each server separately according to the load comprehensive index of each server.Experimental results show that this method can balance the load of each server effectively and reduce the average waiting time of the task requests,which is of great application value.…”

Effect of the difference enumeration attack on LowMC instances by Xinxin GE, Zhihu LI, Meiqin WANG, Kai HU

“…The LowMC is an algorithm with low multiplicative complexities.For the parameter with limited data complexities and low number of S-boxes, the difference enumeration attack was proposed, which could theoretically attack all rounds of the LowMC.Considering that the original attack is based on the random linear layer,the strength of LowMC algorithm against differential enumeration attacks under a specific linear layer deserves more study.The difference enumeration attack cannot reach theoretical rounds through the research on the so-called key initial round.In terms of some LowMC instances, the key initial round is smaller than the theoretical value, which leads to the failure of the difference enumeration attack.Since the number of rounds of the LowMC is completely based on existing attacks, the analysis is of great significance to the rounds design of the LowMC.…”

Optimization method for attribute-based cryptographic access control in mobile cloud computing by Jian LIU, Ming XIAN, Huimei WANG, Hong RONG

“…For the problem of secure data sharing and access control in mobile cloud,the drawback of traditional cryptographic access control schemes was deeply analyzed.Considering the truth that mobile devices were usually equipped with limited resources,an optimized attribute-based cryptographic access control scheme was proposed in this study.In the proposed scheme,a third party proxy was introduced into the system model,and the two-layer encryption method was applied.Combining traditional attribute-based encryption (ABE) algorithm with multi-secret sharing and split measurement of ABE encryption,the scheme could greatly reduce the cost of mobile users in terms of data publish and access management.Theoretical and experimental analysis shows that the contribution can well meet the requirements of mobile cloud in terms of security,computational complexity and communication cost,which means that it is promising for future applications.…”
