Shuffled differential privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication by Weijin JIANG, Yilin CHEN, Yuqing HAN, Yuting WU, Wei ZHOU, Haijuan WANG

“…Aiming at the current problem of insufficient security in clustering data collection and publication, in order to protect user privacy and improve data quality in clustering data, a privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication was proposed without trusted third parties based on the shuffled differential privacy model.K-Modes clustering data collection algorithm was used to sample the user data and add noise, and then the initial order of the sampled data was disturbed by filling in the value domain random arrangement publishing algorithm.The malicious attacker couldn’t identify the target user according to the relationship between the user and the data, and then to reduce the interference of noise as much as possible a new centroid was calculated by cyclic iteration to complete the clustering.Finally, the privacy, feasibility and complexity of the above three methods were analyzed from the theoretical level, and the accuracy and entropy of the three real data sets were compared with the authoritative similar algorithms KM, DPLM and LDPKM in recent years to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.The experimental results show that the privacy protection and data quality of the proposed method are superior to the current similar algorithms.…”

Opportunistic routing algorithm based on trust model for ad hoc network by Bo WANG, Xun-xun CHEN

“…Due to the absence of enough physical protection,dynamic topology,distributed collaboration,the limited bandwidth and computing ability in ad hoc network,traditional routing security mechanism cannot adapt to the design of routing protocols.Recently,opportunistic routing is of the research hotspots,which can cope with the unreliable transmissions to improve throughput of the whole network by exploiting the broadcast nature of the wireless medium and spatial diversity of multi-hop wireless network.The concept of trust-based similarity in opportunistic routing for ad hoc network was incorporated,and a novel trusted opportunistic forwarding model based on trust degree of node and least cost of opportunistic routing were also built.Then a trusted minimum cost routing algorithm (MCOR) was proposed and the correctness and effectiveness of this algorithm from theoretical ana ysis were proved.Finally,MCOR algorithm was verified by simulation and was compared with the classic protocols:ExOR,TAODV and Watchdog-DSR.The simulation results show that MCOR scheme can detect and mitigate node misbehaviors.Furthermore,MCOR scheme outperforms the other protocols in terms of throughput,delay,expected ETX and cost of routing.…”

Distributed trust management scheme based on blockchain in Internet of vehicles by Haibo ZHANG, Yukun CAO, Kaijian LIU, Ruyan WANG

“…Aiming at the security problems caused by the low efficiency and accuracy of malicious vehicle identification in Internet of vehicles, a distributed trust management scheme based on blockchain in Internet of vehicles was proposed.A false information identification strategy was designed by aggregating the scoring information of vehicles, combined with Bayesian inference model.A reputation value updating algorithm was designed by combining the historical interaction information of vehicles and traffic information, malicious vehicles were identified by the reputation threshold.A blockchain was constructed roadside units to realize the distributed storage of traffic data and vehicle reputation values.The traditional proof of work consensus mechanism was improved to dynamically change the difficulty of miner node generating a block through the event level and the number of vehicles involved in scoring, and the waiting mechanism was used to temporarily stop the nodes that had recently blocked from participating in the election process of miner nodes, thus reducing the resource consumption caused by repeated calculations.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively identify false information, resist the deceptive behavior of malicious vehicles, improve the identification efficiency of malicious vehicles, reduce resource consumption, and is effective and feasible in distributed trust management for Internet of vehicles.…”

Thomas Dallery, Le divorce rentabilité/croissance dans le capitalisme financiarisé. Changements de régimes, équilibres, instabilités et conflits by Thomas Dallery

“…The macroeconomic realisation of profits being determined by capitalists’ spendings, the slowdown of accumulation cannot come (theoretically) with a profitability recovery, others things being equal.After having recalled, in a first chapter, that financialisation is only the last avatar of a long trend for capitalism to escape from real economy, we show, in a second chapter, that financialisation leads, for the individual firm, to a reorientation towards shareholders’ profitability claims at the expense of managers and capital accumulation, financial (indebtedness) and real (capacity utilisation) security, and also of workers (real wage).After having faced, in a third chapter, two methodological, embarrassing questions for kaleckian models of growth and distribution (not very plausible and unstable for the most plausible ones), we use, in a fourth chapter, a second macroeconomic approach (stock-flow consistent model) where conflict impacts distribution (conflict inflation) and accumulation (growth/profit trade-off). …”

Research of power preprocessing optimization-based template attack on LED by Xiao-juan WANG, Shi-ze GUO, Xin-jie ZHAO, Mei SONG, Fan ZHANG

“…The security of LED,a lightweight block cipher proposed in CHES 2011,was evaluated by the template attack (TA).Several improvements of TA from the perspective of the preprocessing optimization was proposed.Firstly,the noise offset was calculated by using the phase-only correlation factor in the frequency view of the power trace to eliminate the data interference in the template building phase.Secondly,a novel character extracting method was proposed based on calculating the cross-cluster offset of different clusters classified by the plaintexts to cut the different leakage points from the power traces automatically.Thirdly,a dynamic effective power points choosing strategy was proposed by utilizing the mean value and the noises of the of power traces to evaluate the differences between different templates and improve the utilization of side channel information.Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed techniques of data alignment and automatically data cutting enlarge the differences of templates and reduce the number of the required power trace in both the template building and attacking phase.The proposed effective power points choosing strategy reduces the data complexity of the attack and only two power traces are required to launch the attack with the success rate of 100%.…”
