Personalized lightweight distributed network intrusion detection system in fog computing by Tianpeng YE, Xiang LIN, Jianhua LI, Xuankai ZHANG, Liwen XU

“…With the continuous development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, there is a constant emergency of new IoT applications with low latency, high dynamics, and large bandwidth requirements.This has led to the widespread aggregation of massive devices and information at the network edge, promoting the emergence and deep development of fog computing architecture.However, with the widespread and in-depth application of fog computing architecture, the distributed network security architecture deployed to ensure its security is facing critical challenges brought by fog computing itself, such as the limitations of fog computing node computing and network communication resources, and the high dynamics of fog computing applications, which limit the edge deployment of complex network intrusion detection algorithms.To effectively solve the above problems, a personalized lightweight distributed network intrusion detection system (PLD-NIDS) was proposed based on the fog computing architecture.A large-scale complex network flow intrusion detection model was trained based on the convolutional neural network architecture, and furthermore the network traffic type distribution of each fog computing node was collected.The personalized model distillation algorithm and the weighted first-order Taylor approximation pruning algorithm were proposed to quickly compress the complex model, breaking through the limitation of traditional model compression algorithms that can only provide single compressed models for edge node deployment due to the high compression calculation overhead when facing a large number of personalized nodes.According to experimental results, the proposed PLD-NIDS architecture can achieve fast personalized compression of edge intrusion detection models.Compared with traditional model pruning algorithms, the proposed architecture achieves a good balance between computational loss and model accuracy.In terms of model accuracy, the proposed weighted first-order Taylor approximation pruning algorithm can achieve about 4% model compression ratio improvement under the same 0.2% model accuracy loss condition compared with the traditional first-order Taylor approximation pruning algorithm.…”

Survey on the development of mimic defense in cyberspace:from mimic concept to “mimic+” ecology by Hailong MA, Liang WANG, Tao HU, Yiming JIANG, Yanze QU

“…Build upon the dynamic-heterogeneous-redundant architecture for multi-body execution, multi-mode ruling and multi-dimension reconstruction, cyberspace mimic defense (CMD) uses uncertain system to deal with the uncertain threat to cyberspace ubiquity.The evolution of CMD over the past 8 years were reviewed systematically from the vertical, horizontal, current, developing and future perspectives.From the vertical perspective, the development process of CMD from concept to theory and practice was summarized.From the horizontal view, it elaborated the core structure DHR (dynamical heterogeneous redundancy) of CMD, the principles based on CMD’s three major theorems, safety gains and performance costs.A comparison was conducted between CMD and five other active defense technologies, namely intrusion tolerance, moving target defense, zero trust architecture, trusted computing and computer immunology.From the current perspective, it reviewed the implementation elements, performance, system architecture, heterogeneous strategies, scheduling strategies, voting strategies and other common technology patterns and characteristics of 11 types of main existing mimic products including mimicry router, mimicry processor, mimicry DNS server and mimicry cloud platform.From the developing perspective, it explored the “mimic+” AICDS (Mimic + AI/IoT/Cloud/Data/SDN) symbiotic ecology with respect to 5 types of new technologies, namely artificial intelligence, Internet of things, cloud computing, big data and software-defined network, and proposed the corresponding technology junctions and cross research value.From the future perspective, it looked into the future mimicry baseline 2.0 product ecology, “mimic +5G/6G”, “mimic + edge computing”,“mimic + cloud” and “mimic + blockchain” application scenarios.Besides, 4 types of challenges faced by CMD in the future were analyzed and summarized, including escape space of multi-mode decision attack, mutual restriction of heterogeneous and synchronous, difficult balance between security and function, and limited transformation space of existing endogenous security components.…”

Changes in Cultivated Land and Its Effects on Vegetation and Evapotranspiration Characteristics in the Naoli River Basin by YIN Jian, XIA Ruici, WEI Danqi, DING Yi, JIANG Hongtao, LUO Xinyuan

“…The Naoli River Basin is located in the hinterland of the Sanjiang Plain and is an important grain production area in China.In recent years,with the guarantee of food security and the adjustment of regional agricultural structure in China,there have been significant changes in land use,such as cultivated land expansion and planting structure adjustment.Therefore,identifying changes in cultivated land and their ecological effects is of great significance for regional ecological protection.This study analyzed changes in land use from 1980 to 2020 and then estimated their ecological impact using the ecological impact index of cultivated land change based on normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and actual evapotranspiration data.In addition,changes in evapotranspiration were estimated to determine the degree of water consumption.The results show that:① the area of cultivated land in the basin has increased significantly from 7 273.22 km² to 15 313.62 km² over the past 40 years,an increase of 110.55%,mainly due to the reclamation of forests and wetlands;② in the past 20 years,there has been a significant conversion between paddy fields and dry land,with a greater increase in conversion from dry land to paddy fields;③ From 2000 to 2020,both NDVI and evapotranspiration in the basin showed an increasing trend,with an increased amplitude of 8.15% and 18.58%,respectively.The increase in NDVI in cultivated areas mainly occurs during the crop growing season,while the contribution of non-growing seasons to NDVI change is low;④ different types of changes in cultivated land have varying contributions to the NDVI and annual evapotranspiration in the basin.Returning cultivated land to forest has contributed to ecological protection and reduced water consumption.Although the reclamation of wetlands has increased NDVI during the growing season,it has also increased water consumption in the basin.The conversion from paddy fields to dry land is beneficial for water conservation in the basin,while the conversion from dry land to paddy fields increases evaporation and water consumption,potentially posing a risk to water resource security.…”
