GreyFan:a network attack framework using Wi-Fi covert channel by Dongjie MA, Chengqiang JIN, ·uan CHEN, Tieming CHEN

“…For traditional physical attacks such as side channel attacks and HID attacks in real networks,physical isolation is considered to be a relatively complete security protection against network attacks.In 2018,a Wi-Fi hidden channel method in the physical isolation environment——Ghost Tunnel was firstly proposed,that is,in the state that Wi-Fi didn’t connected,the wireless AP could successfully transmit data to the computer that initiates the connection request.An attack framework based on the Ghost Tunnel method——GreyFan was proposed.This attack framework enabled attackers to implement non-aware attacks on users who didn’t connected to Wi-Fi,such as file concealed transmission and arbitrary code execution,etc.The corresponding defense technology was also analyzed.…”

Multi-objective task offloading algorithm for mobile cloud computing by Fuhong SONG, Huanlai XING, Wei PAN

“…Mobile devices with limited computing power and resources can offload intensive tasks to the cloud for execution,thus improving the computing capacity of mobile devices and reducing battery energy consumption.However,the existing researches cannot properly balance the application finish time and energy consumption of the mobile terminal when offloading tasks.An MOEA/D based algorithm was proposed to optimize the application finish time and energy consumption,and dynamic voltage frequency scaling technology was introduced into the MOEA/D to adjust the CPU clock frequency of mobile devices to further decrease the energy consumption without increasing the application finish time.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms a number of existing algorithm in terms of the multi-objective performance.…”

Research on run-time overhead of RM and improvement by LUO Ding-ding, ZHAO Hai, SUN Pei-gang, ZHANG Xi-yuan, YIN Zhen-yu

“…RM algorithm is a classic fixed priority real-time scheduling algorithm, but in most embedded real-time sys- tems, where the workload is composed of many tasks of high frequency and short execution time, the overheads from context-switches of real-time operating system will lead to a low resource utilization rate if RM algorithm is directly used. …”

Território e federação: a dimensão institucional da política regional da saúde no Rio Grande do Norte by Luciana da Costa Feitosa, Aldo Dantas

“…Although regionalization has been considered as the structuring axis of SUS since the 1988 Constitution, the vertical normative propositions of the national federated entity and its weak management consolidation in the state federal entity are reflections of the complex organizational structure of the Brazilian federation, which "empties" the locus of regional power while it oscillates between the centralization of the national scale and the decentralization of the municipal scale, generating obstacles for the execution of a territorial pact of health policy.…”

Blockchain-based access control mechanism for data traceability by Rongna XIE, Hui LI, Guozhen SHI, Yunchuan GUO, Ming ZHANG, Xiuze DONG

“…To improve the transparency and traceability of access control, a blockchain-based access control mechanism for data traceability and provenance was proposed.The proposed access control policy was transferred to the smart contract and deployed on the blockchain, and the access authorization evaluation was realized by executing the smart contract deployed on the blockchain to ensure the decentralization, transparency and traceability of the access control process.The manner of combining off-chain and on-chain was adopted, the object was stored in off-chain data server, and the object index was generated by the object storage address and hash value, and deployed on the object blockchain.The log of object access authorization and access were recorded in the log blockchain, any misbehavior was immutably recorded.The security analysis show that, the proposed mechanism achieve the properties of decentralization, transparency and traceability while ensuring the privacy of data.…”

Design and implementation of secure Windows platform based on TCM by Wei FENG, Yu QIN, Deng-guo FENG, Bo YANG, Ying-jun ZHANG

“…A secure Windows platform solution based on TCM was proposed to solve the integrity measurement and attestation problem of the Windows system.Two security modes were realized by extending the Windows kernel:in the measurement mode,all executable contents that were loaded onto the Windows system were measured,and the TCM provided the protection and outward attestation for these measurements; and in the control mode,the measurements were further compared with a whitelist customized by an administrator,and all the programs that were not included in the whitelist would be prohibited from running.Experiment analysis shows that proposed solution can enhance the security of Windows platform and resist some software attacks; and at the same time,the average performance overhead is about 20～30ms,which will not influence the normal running of Windows.…”
