Chaotic image encryption algorithm based on single image local scrambling and dynamic feedback diffusion by Yeqin CUI, Guochao DING

“…A novel chaotic image encryption algorithm based on single image local scrambling and dynamic feedback diffusion was presented.Firstly,a single image local scrambling algorithm was proposed.Secondly,a novel dynamic feedback diffusion strategy was proposed to change the pixel values of the scrambled image in the phase of diffusion,by which improved the results of image encryption.Finally,the simulation results and performance analysis show that the number pixels change rate（NPCR）values and unified average changing intensity（UACI）values of the proposed algorithm can be close to 99.6% and 33.4%,showing that the proposed algorithm has better resistance to differential attacks and saves time compared with the other three classic algorithms.…”

Transmission power control and scheduling algorithm in wireless body area networks by Zhi-jun WANG, Feng-ye HU, Ying-qi YIN, Xiao-lan LIU

“…Wireless body area networks(WBAN)were expecting to play an essential role for healthcare,sports,leisure,and all the aspect of our daily life.The purpose was to solve two key issues of WBAN.The first issue was which sensor should transmit during each time slot in order to maximize the lifetime as well as maintaining fairness performance.The second issue was which transmit power level should be chosen for the purpose of energy saving without degrading reliability.For the first problem,a distributed scheduling algorithm was proposed to balance lifetime and fairness for WBAN.For the second issue,a modified transmission power control algorithm was presented to adjust transmit power adaptively.Simulation results are presented to demonstrated efficacy of the proposed algorithm.…”

Trusted storage mechanism of distributed electric energy data based on blockchain by Jin LI, Songqi WU, Senlin ZHANG, Yueming LU

“…Facing the problems of central single point failure and malicious tampering in the centralized storage of electric energy data,a trusted storage mechanism including identity authentication,sensor data upload,IPFS storage,blockchain upload and access verification was proposed by building the inter satellite storage consortium blockchain (ISCB) of electric energy data based on the decentralized,tamper proof and highly expandable characteristics of blockchain.In view of the characteristics of electric energy data,such as wide source and large capacity,the blockchain technology was combined with the inter planetary file system (IPFS),and the data hash and query attributes returned by IPFS were saved on the chain,so as to effectively solve the problems of storage expansion and data tampering identification of electric energy data blockchain.…”

Low-overhead routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on immunity information piggybacked by SV by Zhi REN, Cong CHEN, Ya-nan CAO, Chen PENG, Qian-bin CHEN

“…A novel routing algorithm,LRPI (low-overhead routing with piggybacked immunity information) was proposed.LRPI contains the following four new mechanisms:piggybacking the immune information with SV(summary vectors),fast generation of the immune information through a cross-layer method,an improved exchange mechanism of SV,and adaptive compression of SV.Based on the above new mechanism,LRPI not only avoids using special data structure but also can achieve the same immune function more quickly.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that LRPI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and a few of its improvements in terms of control overhead,the number of saved packets,and average end-to-end delay.…”
