Study on the microstructures of SLM IN718 based on solidification model by XU Wei, WAN Jie, CHEN Yuzeng

“…Both the calculation results and the experimental results show that when the laser power increases, PDAS increases accordingly; while as the scanning speed and hatch distance increase, PDAS decreases accordingly; and from the bottom to the top of the molten pool, PDAS gradually increases. At the same time, the top of the molten pool is more sensitive to the change of process parameters, while the middle and bottom are relatively insensitive. …”

Mimic defense authentication method for physical access control by Qinglei ZHOU, Shaohuan BAN, Yingjie HAN, Feng FENG

“…To address the security problem of the vulnerability of the authentication methods of traditional physical access control systems,a mimic defense authentication method was designed based on the principle of mimic defense technique and its dynamic heterogeneous redundant architecture (DHR),using mobile 2D code as the interface and dynamic password as the core.First,the actuator pool of the authentication server was constructed.Then,a central controller consisting of functional modules such as input distribution agent,selector and voter was used to dynamically schedule heterogeneous redundant actuators from the actuator pool.Finally,a multimode ruling on the heterogeneous redundant actuator output to determine the authentication result was made by the voter.The experimental results show that the proposed authentication method has higher security and reliability compared to the traditional physical access control system authentication method,and at the same time,it can be used in combination with other authentication methods.…”

Backdoor defense method in federated learning based on contrastive training by Jiale ZHANG, Chengcheng ZHU, Xiang CHENG, Xiaobing SUN, Bing CHEN

“…In response to the inadequacy of existing defense methods for backdoor attacks in federated learning to effectively remove embedded backdoor features from models, while simultaneously reducing the accuracy of the primary task, a federated learning backdoor defense method called ContraFL was proposed, which utilized contrastive training to disrupt the clustering process of backdoor samples in the feature space, thereby rendering the global model classifications in federated learning independent of the backdoor trigger features.Specifically, on the server side, a trigger generation algorithm was developed to construct a generator pool to restore potential backdoor triggers in the training samples of the global model.Consequently, the trigger generator pool was distributed to the participants by the server, where each participant added the generated backdoor triggers to their local samples to achieve backdoor data augmentation.Experimental results demonstrate that ContraFL effectively defends against various backdoor attacks in federated learning, outperforming existing defense methods.…”
