“Colombia, the only risk is wanting to stay” by Marie-Laure Guilland

“…The link between risk or danger and Colombia is well established in the transnational imaginary and it is difficult to separate the two in the current ideological climate of international security. This imaginary of risk is so persistent that state-organised promotion of tourism is forced to take it into account in order to refute it. …”

Service function chain construct algorithm based on reliability by Julong LAN, Zijin JIN, Penghao SUN, Yiming JIANG, Yue WANG

“…With the continuous expansion of network size and content quantity,network operators often face the problem of data transmission interruption,thus how to improve the reliability of data transmission has become a research hotspot.Started with the huge advantages of NFV environment over traditional TCP/IP architecture based on the background that every network node has the capability of security service,a reliability algorithm for constructing functional service chains was proposed.First,the network topology was introduced and abstracted it into a digraph for a better analyzation.Then,several quantitative indices were used to define the upper and lower bounds of failure probability and resolved the model through a heuristic algorithm.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm increases the reliability of service chain selection and spends less time.…”

Cryptanalysis of novel extended multivariate public key cryptosystem by Xu-yun NIE, Bo LIU, Gang LU, Ting ZHONG

“…The novel extended multivariate public key cryptosystem is a new security enhancement method on multivariate public key cryptosystems,which is proposed by Qiao,et al.A nonlinear invertible transformation was used,named“tame transformation”,on the original multivariate public key cryptosystem to hide its weakness such as linearization equation.However,it is found that if there are many linearization equations satisfied by the original MPKC,there would be many quadratization equations (QE) satisfied by the improved scheme.Given a public key,after finding all QE,a valid cipheretext can be substituted into the QE to derive a set of quadratic equations on the plaintext variable.This exactly reduce the degree of the system wanted to solve.Then the corresponding plaintext can be recovered for a given valid ciphertext combining with Groebner basis method.…”

Optical wireless communication and internet of things by Zaichen ZHANG, Xiaohu YOU, Jian DANG, Liang WU, Bingcheng ZHU, Ji CHEN, Lei WANG

“…Optical wireless communication (OWC) entitles many advantageous properties such as unlicensed spectrum, high electromagnetic compatibility, compared with its radio frequency wireless counterpart, which enables it to be a potential important driving factor for the diverse developments of future internet of things (IoT).Starting from the optical sources and optical devices, some basic principles and limitations of OWC were introduced.Then, some key technologies, including channel modeling, signal modulation, array communication and high-precision positioning were discussed.Based on those and according to the requirements on peak data rate, sensing precision, energy transfer and security and confidentiality of the next generation IoT, the role of OWC as a technological enabler for next generation IoT was analyzed.Finally, related conclusions were given.…”

One-way hash function with chaotic dynamic parameters by GUO Wei1, CAO Yang1, WANG Xiao-min2, HE Da-ke1

“…A novel keyed one-way hash function based on chaotic dynamic parameters was presented which combines the advantage of both chaotic system and conventional one-way hash function.In the proposed approach the fixed parameters of conventional hash function is replaced by chaotic dynamic parameters.Compared with the existing chaotic hash func-tions,the new method takes conventional hash function as essential part of iteration instead of using the message blocks directly in chaotic iteration,thus improves the security of hash function and avoids bringing down system performance at the same time.Theoretical and experimental results show that the proposed method has high performance,strong one way property,large key space,sensitivity to initial conditions and chaotic system’s parameters.…”

A novel fuzzy vault scheme based on the feature level fusion of fingerprint and face features by Xun LI, Lin YOU, Jiahao LIANG, Chunhui YAN

“…Aiming at the problem that the biometric feature-based fuzzy vault is vulnerable to correlation attack and the loss of key and biometric template,and the authentication performance of fuzzy vault based on single biometric feature is unreliable,a novel fuzzy vault scheme based on the feature level fusion of fingerprint and face features was proposed.This scheme carried out irreversible transformation of fingerprint features and face features,and based on the Diffie-Hellman algorithm,the transformed fingerprints and face features were fused into a template at the feature level.Finally,the fusion template was used to construct the fuzzy vault.By updating the random matrix,the vault could be revoked,which could effectively resist the correlation attacks and achieve reliable authentication.Experimental results show that the proposed scheme improves the reliability of the system and the security of multiple biometric templates.…”
