Multiple redundant flow fingerprint model based on time slots by Kexian LIU, Jianfeng GUAN, Wancheng ZHANG, Zhikai HE, Dijia YAN

“…With the increasingly widespread use of the Internet, various network security problems are frequently exposed, while the “patching” style security enhancement mechanisms cannot effectively prevent the growing security risks.The researchers in the field of network security believe that the future Internet architecture should take security as a basic attribute to provide the native security support which is also called as endogenous safety and security.In order to support the data trustworthiness of endogenous security, a time-slot based multiple redundant flow fingerprint model was designed and implemented based on the research of the watermark (or fingerprint) mechanism.The proposed model used only three time slot intervals and operated the packets within the specified time slots, so that the fingerprint can be embedded without conflicting with the adjacent bit operations.Redundant coding was introduced to improve the fingerprint robustness, and the behaviors such as jitter or malicious disruptions by attackers in the network were considered.Furthermore, the impacts of delayed interference, spam packet interference and packet loss interference were analyzed.The analytical results show that the robustness of the fingerprint model improves with increasing redundant bits when the packet distribution in the network stream is given.Besides, in order to reduce the consumption of time and space and improve the efficiency and accuracy of packet operations, a flow fingerprinting prototype system was designed and implemented based on the kernel, and its efficiency and robustness were evaluated.The experimental result show that the model has high robustness.Additionally, the application scenario of the model was elaborated, which can effectively detect man-in-the-middle attacks and prevent network identity spoofing with the help of the flow fingerprinting model.…”

Realization and Application of Information Expansion on Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering Based on IFC Standard by FU Zhihao, LYU Bin, YANG Chuhua, WANG Cunhui

“…The application of BIM technology in the entire life cycle of water conservancy and hydropower engineering has attracted more and more attention,and the importance of project information based on BIM model as key production factors has become increasingly prominent.Currently,the storage standard of water conservancy and hydropower engineering information model usually adopts the information expansion based on the IFC standard.In practical applications,there are some problems such as insufficient information and non-implementation of standard in the design software.To further carry out research and application based on model information,it is necessary to realize the dynamic expansion to model information and integrate it in design software for ease of use.Based on the industry foundation class standard (IFC),this paper discusses the method of information expansion under the IFC standard system,and sorts out the realization method of IFC standard expansion on the basis of Microstation by C# language.The information processing program developed based on Microstation can easily and quickly add,view,update,and expand the information required by the project as needed.The standard stored in the XML file format,which is more convenient for future research and sharing.The program has been applied and verified in actual projects,and the delivery of the three-dimensional information model has been successfully completed.The Microstation-based IFC information expansion method is simple and feasible,with strong portability,which can lay a good foundation for subsequent research on data delivery standards,project model information expansion,and project data analysis,and provide references for similar projects.…”
