Unclonable dynamic k-times anonymous authentication by Xin LIU, Qiu-liang XU

“…In previous works of k-times anonymous authentication,two problems have not been properly solved:1)how to allow application providers to assign different maximal numbers of access for each user without weakened anonymity,and 2)how to protect against massive clone attacks mounted by malicious users.To overcome these obstacles,a revised scheme was proposed.It incorporated several crucial tools including the proof that a committed value is less than another committed value,dynamic accumulator,the method of cloning detection based on n-times show e-tokens,etc.The new scheme is proven secure in a new security model which was obtained by modifying the security model of Teranishi et al.Moreover,the registration protocol of the new scheme is concurrently-secure,so it is fit for the deployment in realistic asynchronous network setting(e.g.…”

Fusion of satellite-ground and inter-satellite AKA protocols for double-layer satellite networks by Jin CAO, Xiaoping SHI, Ruhui MA, Hui LI

“…With the characteristics of large space-time and satellite-ground network integration, the space integrated ground network has attracted much attention.Satellites can not only be used as emergency communication supplements, but also serve as air stations to expand the coverage of terrestrial networks, occupying an important position in both military and civilian scenarios.The entity authentication and key negotiation mechanism can prevent the malicious entities from joining the integrated network to steal users’ privacy, and guarantee network information security.In view of the characteristics of the high satellite-ground transmission delays, exposed links, limited processing capability and dynamic topology of the integrated network, a lightweight authentication scheme between satellites and ground suitable for double-layer satellite network was proposed to achieve a secure satellite networking architecture with session keys to protect data transmission.The scheme was based on symmetric cryptographic system, using lightweight cryptographic algorithms and introducing group key and hierarchical management mechanisms.The proposed scheme included three parts: inter-satellite authentication for geostationary earth orbit satellites, layer and inter-satellite authentication for same low earth orbit, and inter-satellite authentication for adjacent low earth orbit satellites.The group key and hierarchical management mechanism improved the efficiency of inter-group information transfer, reduced the authentication pressure on the ground control center, and enhanced the authentication security strength by realizing double verification in the three-entities authentication protocol.Different from the previous single scene authentication, the proposed authentication protocol took the form of multiplexing authentication parameters, which can realize the authentication requirements of dual scenes in one process.The results of Scyther, a protocol formal security simulation tool, show that the proposed scheme achieves secure access authentication.Compared with existing protocols, the proposed scheme improves authentication security and reduces communication and computational overhead.…”

Proof of storage with corruption identification and recovery for dynamic group users by Tao JIANG, Hang XU, Liangmin WANG, Jianfeng MA

“…The outsourced storage mode of cloud computing leads to the separation of data ownership and management rights of data owners, which changes the data storage network model and security model.To effectively deal with the software and hardware failures of the cloud server and the potential dishonest service provider and also ensure the availability of the data owners’ data, the design of secure and efficient data availability and recoverability auditing scheme has both theoretical and practical importance in solving the concern of users and ensuring the security of cloud data.However, most of the existing studies were designed for the security and efficiency of data integrity or recoverability schemes, without considering the fast identification and reliable recovery of damaged data under dynamic group users.Thus, to quickly identify and recover damaged data, a publicly verifiable proof of storage scheme was proposed for dynamic group cloud users.The designed scheme enabled a trusted third-party auditor to efficiently identify the damaged files through a challenge-response protocol and allowed the cloud storage server to effectively recover them when the degree of data damage is less than an error correction ability threshold.The scheme combined association calculation and accumulation calculation, which effectively reduced the number of calculations for the identification of damaged data.By combining erasure coding and shared coding technology, the scheme achieved effective recovery of damaged data of dynamic group users.At the same time, the scheme also supported dynamic user revocation, which ensured the integrity audit and reliable recovery of the collective data after user revocation.The network model and threat model of the designed scheme were defined and the security of the scheme under the corresponding security model was proved.Through the prototype implementation of the scheme in the real environment and the modular performance analysis, it is proved that the proposed scheme can effectively identify the damaged data and reliably recover the cloud data when the data is damaged.Besides, compared with other schemes, it is also proved that the proposed scheme has less computational overhead in identifying and recovering damaged data.…”

Hierarchical proxy consensus optimization for IoV based on blockchain and trust value by Baoqin ZHAI, Jian WANG, Lei HAN, Jiqiang LIU, Jiahao HE, Tianhao LIU

“…With the rapid development of Internet of vehicles, 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, intelligent transportation has become the development trend of transportation technology.As a vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-road information interaction platform, the Internet of vehicles is the basic support platform for intelligent traffic information sharing and processing.At the same time, the security of Internet of vehicles has attracted much attention, especially data security which may cause user privacy leakage.The blockchain technology has become a solution, but it still faces new challenges in efficiency, security and other aspects.With the increase of vehicle nodes and information, how to efficiently achieve information consensus in high-speed vehicle moving environment has become a key problem.Then a bottom-up RSU (road side unit) chain consensus protocol was proposed based on blockchain and trust value.Several typical consensus structures were compared, and bottom-up two-layer consensus structure was adopted according to the actual scenarios of the Internet of vehicles.Moreover, a group leader node election algorithm was proposed which is based on node participation, work completion and message value.The system security was ensured by assigning trust value to each vehicle.Following the consensus structure and algorithm work mentioned above, the specific process of the protocol was comprehensively described, which was divided into six steps: region division, group leader node selection, local consensus, leader primary node selection, global consensus, and intra-domain broadcast.Then the experiments were analyzed from four aspects: security, communication complexity, consensus algorithm delay and fault tolerance rate.Experiments showed that, compared with other schemes, the proposed protocol can effectively reduce communication complexity and shorten consensus delay under the condition of resisting conspiracy attack, witch attack and other attacks.On the premise of security, the protocol improves fault tolerance rate and enables more nodes to participate in information sharing to satisfy the requirements of Internet of vehicles scenarios.…”

Fast handover authentication scheme in 5G mobile edge computing scenarios by Weicheng ZHANG, Hongquan WEI, Shuxin LIU, Liming PU

“…The 5G internet of things brings the ultimate experience to users, but it also puts forward new challenges.Users’ requirements of ultra-low latency experience, access to business without sense during movement and security guarantee have attracted much attention.Mobile edge computing can meet the strict requirements of 5G with low latency, large connection and high bandwidth.As a computing paradigm with the coexistence of multi-trust domains, multi-entities and cross-trust domains are interconnected frequently.Identity authentication is particularly important for security protection.Through the research on the identity authentication mechanism under the existing edge computing paradigm, a lightweight fast handover authentication scheme based on pre-authentication was proposed.The proposed solution moved services and calculations from the cloud to the edge.Biometric fingerprint technology was used on the client side to defend against terminal theft attacks.Edge servers in different regions used pre-authentication scheme to meet fast switching requirements.The user and the edge server established a secure channel by negotiating a shared session key in real time, and the authentication scheme ensured lightweight operation with XOR and hash operation.The proposed scheme was evaluated from two aspects of security and performance.Theoretical design analysis and formal tool verification were carried out for security evaluation.The formal analysis tool, AVISPA, was used to verify the improved security of the proposed scheme in the presence of intruders.The performance was mainly evaluated from the computing cost and communication cost of the authentication scheme.The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme reduces communication cost, and the computational overhead can meet the needs of mobile terminals with limited resources.As the future work, the scheme will be improved from two aspects: one is to strengthen the scalability to ensure that users and edge servers can join and exit at any time, and the other one is to strengthen the universality of the scheme to meet the access deployment of third-party service providers.…”
