Research on efficient and secure cross-domain data sharing of IoV under blockchain architecture by Xuejiao LIU, Tiancong CAO, Yingjie XIA

“…To solve the problems of data disclosure, uncontrolled data access, and inefficiency of cross-domain data sharing in the Internet of vehicles (IoV), an efficient and secure cross-domain data sharing scheme of IoV under blockchain architecture was proposed.A blockchain was maintained by trusted authorities of different trust domains.A modified ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme was adopted to encrypt data, and encrypted data was stored in interplanetary file system (IPFS) with relevant information recorded on the blockchain, constructing a fine-grained and secure cross-domain data sharing scheme based on blockchain.A verification algorithm for cross-domain access based on the garbled Bloom filter was designed, and a smart contract executed fast decryption tests based on access policies on the blockchain, improving the access efficiency of a mass of ciphertext.A cross-domain data access method based on outsourcing decryption was designed, and the trusted authorities transformed ciphertexts while performing outsourcing decryption with complex bilinear pairing calculations, reducing the time overhead of vehicle decryption.Experiment results show that the proposed scheme is superior to other schemes in the process of cross-domain ciphertext transformation and vehicle decryption, and the cross-domain data access efficiency is increased by 60% on average.…”

Abnormal traffic detection method based on LSTM and improved residual neural network optimization by Wengang MA, Yadong ZHANG, Jin GUO

“…Problems such as a difficulty in feature selection and poor generalization ability were prone to occur when traditional method was exploited to detect abnormal network traffic.Therefore, an abnormal traffic detection method based on the long short term memory network (LSTM) and improved residual neural network optimization was proposed.Firstly, the features and attributes of network traffic were analyzed, and the variability of the feature values was reduced by preprocessing of network traffic.Then, a three-layer stacked LSTM network was designed to extract network traffic features of different depths.Moreover, the problem of weak adaptability of feature extraction was solved.Finally, an improved residual neural network with skipping connecting line was designed to optimize the LSTM.The defects of deep neural network such as overfitting and gradient vanishing were optimized.The accuracy of abnormal traffic detection was improved.Experimental results show that the proposed method has higher training accuracy and better visibility of data processing.The classification accuracy rates under two classifications and multiple classifications are 92.3% and 89.3%.It has the lowest false positive rate when the parameters such as precision rate and recall rate are optimal.Moreover, it has strong robustness when the sample is destroyed.Furthermore, better generalization ability can be achieved.…”
