Edge computing privacy protection method based on blockchain and federated learning by Chen FANG, Yuanbo GUO, Yifeng WANG, Yongjin HU, Jiali MA, Han ZHANG, Yangyang HU

“…Aiming at the needs of edge computing for data privacy, the correctness of calculation results and the auditability of data processing, a privacy protection method for edge computing based on blockchain and federated learning was proposed, which can realize collaborative training with multiple devices at the edge of the network without a trusted environment and special hardware facilities.The blockchain was used to endow the edge computing with features such as tamper-proof and resistance to single-point-of-failure attacks, and the gradient verification and incentive mechanism were incorporated into the consensus protocol to encourage more local devices to honestly contribute computing power and data to the federated learning.For the potential privacy leakage problems caused by sharing model parameters, an adaptive differential privacy mechanism was designed to protect parameter privacy while reducing the impact of noise on the model accuracy, and moments accountant was used to accurately track the privacy loss during the training process.Experimental results show that the proposed method can resist 30% of poisoning attacks, and can achieve privacy protection with high model accuracy, and is suitable for edge computing scenarios that require high level of security and accuracy.…”

Differential privacy budget optimization based on deep learning in IoT by Dan LUO, Ruzhi XU, Zhitao GUAN

“…In order to effectively process the massive data brought by the large-scale application of the internet of things (IoT), deep learning is widely used in IoT environment.However, in the training process of deep learning, there are security threats such as reasoning attacks and model reverse attacks, which can lead to the leakage of the original data input to the model.Applying differential privacy to protect the training process parameters of the deep model is an effective way to solve this problem.A differential privacy budget optimization method was proposed based on deep learning in IoT, which adaptively allocates different budgets according to the iterative change of parameters.In order to avoid the excessive noise, a regularization term was introduced to constrain the disturbance term.Preventing the neural network from over fitting also helps to learn the salient features of the model.Experiments show that this method can effectively enhance the generalization ability of the model.As the number of iterations increases, the accuracy of the model trained after adding noise is almost the same as that obtained by training using the original data, which not only achieves privacy protection, but also guarantees the availability, which means balance the privacy and availability.…”

Multi-ray channel modeling for programmable wireless environments in the terahertz band by Wenyu LUO, Hechao LIU

“…Terahertz communication system based on programmable wireless environment allowed programming customization of electromagnetic wave propagation in the most suitable ways for different wireless devices.It could not only improve serious fading,interference and non-line-of-sight problems,but also significantly enhance the security and privacy of the system.The channel modeling of terahertz wireless communication in programmable wireless environment was focused.Firstly,a multi-ray channel model for terahertz-band programmable wireless environment was established based on ray tracing technology as well as the propagation model of line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight.Then,based on the established propagation model,reflection coefficient,the broadband channel capacity under the water-filling power allocation algorithm and the RMS delayed extension were further studied.The simulation and analysis results show that the programmable wireless environment greatly reduces the influence of path loss and multipath fading in terahertz wireless transmission through active interference in electromagnetic wave transmission,improves the transmission capacity of terahertz communication system,which provides a reference for the later design of terahertz communication system,especially indoor terahertz communication system.…”

Perfect secrecy cryptosystem with nonuniform distribution of keys by Chuanjun TIAN

“…More strictly mathematical concepts of infinite perfect secrecy and random “one-time pad” cryptosystem in theory were presented,and the whole secure communication system was divided into two stages:design of a basic cryptosystem and one of its applications.How to design a basic cryptosystem by using a group of orthogonal Latin squares was first studied and an example to illustrate how to design nonlinear encryption transformations for a basic cryptosystem was given.Then,how to design the sequence of keys by using random method with nonuniform distribution was discussed,and it was strictly proven in theory that the infinite random “one-time pad” cryptosystem based on the designed basic cryptosystem was of perfect secrecy.Since the obtained result generalizes the existing one for random “one-time pad” cryptosystem to be perfect by using a basic cryptosystem with modulo addition,it may be used as a wider ideal simulated prototype to design stream cipher algorithms.Since the number of basic cryptosystems that can be designed is much more than one of the common basic cryptosystems with modulo addition,the obtained result is effective supplement and perfection to mainstream design method for the current stream cryptosystems.…”
