Privacy-preserving attribute ticket scheme based on mobile terminal with smart card by Rui SHI, Huamin FENG, Huiqin XIE, Guozhen SHI, Biao LIU, Yang YANG

“…To solve the problem that the existing electronic ticket systems are challenging to deploy in resource-constrained devices and cannot prevent the sharing of tickets among unauthorized devices, a privacy-preserving attribute ticket scheme based on mobile terminal with a smart card was proposed.The smart card was a secure and constrained-yet-trusted core device that holds secret information and performs lightweight operations.The mobile terminal was a powerful helper device that handles key-independent and time-consuming operations.Firstly, the efficient attribute-based ticket scheme deployed on the mobile terminal with a smart card was constructed by combining a pseudorandom function, anonymous ephemeral identities scheme, aggregatable signatures with randomizable tags, and Pointcheval-Sanders signatures.Secondly, the security model of the electronic tickets system was presented, and the proposed scheme was proved to be unlinkable and unforgeable.Finally, the proposed scheme was implemented on a personal computer, a smart card (Aisinochip ACH512), and a smart phone (Huawei Honor 9i), and the comparison and experimental results show that it is efficient.…”

Efficient revocable attribute-based encryption scheme by Xuejun LI, Dan ZHANG, Hui LI

“…In the existing solutions,the time-based scheme is difficult to achieve immediate revocation,and the third-party-based scheme often requires re-encryption,which needs large amount of calculation and doesn’t apply to mas-sive data.To solve the problem,an efficient and immediate CP-ABE scheme was proposed to support user and attribute lev-els revocation.The scheme was based on the classic LSSS access structure,introducing RSA key management mechanism and attribute authentication.By means of a semi-trusted third party,the user could be authenticated before decryption.Com-pared with the existing revocation schemes,The proposed scheme didn’t need the user to update the key or re-encrypt the ciphertext.The semi-trusted third party wasn’t required to update the RSA attribute authentication key.The scheme greatly reduced the amount of computation and traffic caused by revocation,while ensuring anti-collusion attacks and forward and backward security.Finally,the security analysis and experimental simulation show that the scheme has higher revocation ef-ficiency.…”

Construction of DDoS attacks malicious behavior knowledge base construction by Feiyang LIU, Kun LI, Fei SONG, Huachun ZHOU

“…Aiming at the problem of insufficient research on the knowledge base of distributed denial of service (DDoS) network attacks, a method for constructing a knowledge base of DDoS attacks malicious behavior was proposed.The knowledge base was constructed based on the knowledge graph, and contains two parts: a malicious traffic detection database and a network security knowledge base.The malicious traffic detection database detects and classifies malicious traffic caused by DDoS attacks, the network security knowledge base detects DDoS attacks from traffic characteristics and attack frameworks model malicious behaviors, and perform inference, tracing and feedback on malicious behaviors.On this basis, a distributed knowledge base was built based on the DDoS open threat signaling (DOTS) protocol to realize the functions of data transmission between distributed nodes, DDoS attack defense, and malicious traffic mitigation.The experimental results show that the DDoS attack malicious behavior knowledge base can effectively detect and mitigate the malicious traffic caused by DDoS attacks at multiple gateways, and has the knowledge update and reasoning function between the distributed knowledge bases, showing good scalability.…”

A blockchain sharding scheme in edge computing by Jun WANG, Jianwei MA, Jinxi LUO

“…The low security and poor privacy of the data in edge computing restrict the development of edge computing.Block chains can provide security for data in edge computing using their own tamper resistance, while protecting privacy by use of traceability.But the bottleneck of blockchain's scalability has become a barrier to their application in the field of edge computing.To solve the problem that blockchain can not meet the needs of a large number of nodes to process data at the same time when applied to edge computing, a two-layer sharding scheme was presented, which meets the needs of edge computing scenarios.Geographic location-based partitioning of nodes was implemented using the improved K-means algorithm, and a local blockchain network consensus (LBNC) algorithm was designed based on the idea of delegated proof of stake (DPoS) and practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT).Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has less delay and higher throughput than those of PBFT, and the total throughput increases with the number of shards.…”

Adaptor signature scheme based on ISRSAC digital signature algorithm by Yanshuo ZHANG, Ning LIU, Yuqi YUAN, Yatao YANG

“…The adapter signature scheme can provide good properties of atomic exchange in the block chain, and has been widely used in practice.A new adapter signature scheme was constructed based on a digital signature algorithm for improved security of RSA cryptosystem (ISRSAC).After proving that the proposed scheme satisfied the correctness of the pre-signature, unforgeability, adaptability of the pre-signature, extractability of the evidence and the security of the signature scheme, it was compared with the adapter signature scheme based on the SM2 digital signature algorithm, the Schnorr-based adapter signature scheme and the ECDSA-based adapter signature scheme.And these schemes were analyzed in terms of time overhead and main calculation amount.The analysis results show that the proposed scheme is similar to other schemes in terms of time overhead, but the proposed scheme expands the application scenarios of ISRSAC algorithm in the current environment, and through the combination of ISRSAC algorithm and adapter signature technology, the selection of adapter signature is more flexible and can have a wider range of applications.…”

Intra-group mutual authentication key agreement protocol based on Chinese remainder theorem in VANET system by Haibo ZHANG, Zhou CHEN, Hongwu HUANG, Xiaofan HE

“…Aiming at the problem that vehicles in the vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) system were vulnerable to malicious attacks when communicating with each other on the public network, a mutual authentication key agreement protocol in the VANET was proposed.A dynamic vehicle group was established by the Chinese remainder theorem to adapt to the rapid changes in the VANET topology.Signature information was used by both parties in communication to quickly authenticate the identity of the message sender, and key agreement was conduct through the semigroup of Chebyshev chaotic mapping.The pseudonym update and private key update mechanism were adopted to protect the privacy and security of the vehicle’s identity.The identities of malicious vehicles were tracked accurately by using signature information, and were revoked quickly by modifying the public key information.In addition, the semantic security of the protocol was proved by the BAN logic model.The simulation results show that the proposed protocol can effectively reduce the communication consumption and significantly reduce the computational consumption compared with the existing similar literature.…”
