Efficient hybrid-encryption-based optimistic Mix-net protocol by Long-hai LI, Cheng-qiang HUANG, Shang-mei XU, Shao-feng FU

“…An efficient hybrid-encryption-based Mix-net is presented that is much faster than all previous Mix-nets with public verifiability when all mix-servers execute the mixing protocol honestly (the usual case).The improvement by taking an “optimistic” and hash-based approach to verify the correctness of mixing is achieved without requiring complex and costly zero-knowledge proofs.Only two element-wise testing processes with low-cost computations of hash functions are involved to make certain messages are not manipulated by a cheating server.An efficient integration of public-key and symmetric-key operations also speeds up the mixing.As a result,the computational task of each mix-server is almost independent of the number of mix-servers except for some negligible tasks.Anyone can verify the correctness of a result rapidly by computing a few exponentiations.The scheme is robust,too.Those characteristics make it very suitable for large scale electronic voting.…”

Detecting and Defending against Replication Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks by Xiang-yi Chen, Li-xia Meng, Yong-zhao Zhan

“…In this paper, we make the following contributions: first, we point out the unrealistic assumption that the replica node would behave honestly as the benign sensor nodes; thus the existing detection schemes would fail if the replica nodes cheat or collude with the compromised node. Then, we propose a location-binding symmetric key scheme forcing the replica nodes to be inserted only in the vicinity of the compromised node. …”

Cooperation-based location authentication scheme for crowdsensing applications by Youliang TIAN, Maoqing TIAN, Hongfeng GAO, Miao HE, Jinbo XIONG

“…Utilizing mobile devices to collect location-related data in crowdsensing has the security problem of a location cheating attack.How to guarantee the quality of these sensitive data has become a challenge.In response to this, a location authentication scheme was proposed based on cooperation to detect malicious users who submit false locations.Firstly, users with mobile devices were used to generate location proofs for each other, and a location verification scheme was designed based on distance bounding protocols for obtaining new information by multiple collisions of the same random number, which ensured the user’s location should be unforgeable and achieved the purpose of improving the quality of collected data.In addition, a location proof cooperator select method based on region division and reputation model was proposed which effectively prevented collusion attack and solved the problem of concentration of equity.Meanwhile, the incentive mechanism based on reputation value and task completion time was designed to effectively improve the location proof cooperator efficiency of task completion.Finally, security analysis and performance evaluation indicate that the scheme has proved to be correctness and secure, and the advantages in computational cost and communication overhead.…”
