Cloud data secure deduplication scheme via role-based symmetric encryption by Jinbo XIONG, Yuanyuan ZHANG, Youliang TIAN, Zuobin YING, Qi LI, Rong MA

“…The rapid development of cloud computing and big data technology brings prople to enter the era of big data,more and more enterprises and individuals outsource their data to the cloud service providers.The explosive growth of data and data replicas as well as the increasing management overhead bring a big challenge to the cloud storage space.Meanwhile,some serious issues such as the privacy disclosure,authorized access,secure deduplication,rekeying and permission revocation should also be taken into account.In order to address these problems,a role-based symmetric encryption algorithm was proposed,which established a mapping relation between roles and role keys.Moreover,a secure deduplication scheme was proposed via role-based symmetric encryption to achieve both the privacy protection and the authorized deduplication under the hierarchical architecture in the cloud computing environment.Furthermore,in the proposed scheme,the group key agreement protocol was utilized to achieve rekeying and permission revocation.Finally,the security analysis shows that the proposed role-based symmetric encryption algorithm is provably secure under the standard model,and the deduplication scheme can meet the security requirements.The performance analysis and experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme is effective and efficient.…”

Downlink wireless resource allocation method of V2X based on wireless sensing assistance by Zhimin HE, Yuzhe LIN, Yujie CHENG, Shi YAN

“…In vehicle-to-everything, the high-speed distribution and sharing of perception and safety data is crucial to road safety.However, the instability of communication links caused by high-speed vehicle movement will make the existing communication resource allocation methods based on vehicle location information reporting no longer efficient.Therefore, a downlink wireless resource allocation method based on wireless sensing assistance of communication nodes was proposed.Firstly, a joint optimization problem of communication mode selection and wireless resource allocation under the orthogonality of communication and sensing resources was constructed.Then, a communication mode selection based on clustering by Delaunay triangulation and a resource allocation strategy based on improved graph coloring to improve the downlink throughput was proposed to solve the problem of construction.Finally, the impact of wireless sensing estimation error and the number of vehicles on the performance of the algorithm was simulated and analyzed.Simulation results show that compared with traditional methods, the proposed algorithm can obtain better downlink communication performance gain under the same proportion of sensing bandwidth resources, and can withstand the impact of larger sensing errors on performance.At the same time, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is lower and the network computing resources can be saved.…”
