Threshold re-encryption based secure deduplication method for cloud data with resistance against side channel attack by Xin TANG, Linna ZHOU, Weijie SHAN, Dan LIU

“…For security and efficiency problems in threshold based deduplication for cloud data,a novel method based on threshold re-encryption was proposed to deal with side channel attacks.A lightweight threshold re-encryption mechanism was presented to transfer the secondary encryption to the cloud for execution and allow clients to generate ciphertext based on key segmentation instead of ciphertext segmentation,both of which largely reduce computational overhead of clients.Also,the proposed mechanism enables clients to decrypt from both one-time encrypted and re-encrypted ciphertext,thus avoiding the overhead of redundant encryption of the same file.Mutual integrity verification between cloud service provider and clients was also supported by the proposed method,which directly ensured the correctness of the correspondence between ciphertext and plaintext on client side.Experiments show that the proposed method not only largely reduces the computational overhead on client side,but also achieves superior storage performance on cloud side simultaneously.…”

Task scheduling algorithm for system-wide information management based on multiple QoS constraints by Gang LI, Zhijun WU

“…An ant colony optimization task scheduling algorithm based on multiple quality of service constraint (QoS-ACO) for SWIM was proposed.Focusing on the multiple quality of service (QoS) requirements for task requests completed in system-wide information management (SWIM),considering the task execution time,security and reliability factors,a new evaluate user satisfaction utility function and system task scheduling model were constructed.Using the QoS total utility evaluation function of SWIM service scheduling to update the pheromone of the ant colony algorithm.The simulation results show that under the same conditions,the QoS-ACO algorithm is better than the traditional Min-Min algorithm and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in terms of task completion time,security,reliability and quality of service total utility evaluation value,and it can ensure that the user's task scheduling quality of service requirements are met,and can better complete the scheduling tasks of the SWIM.…”

An algorithm for joint optimization of dynamic routing and scheduling in time-sensitive networking by Yang ZHOU, Honglong CHEN, Lei ZHANG

“…Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is a set of protocols developed by the IEEE TSN task group, aiming at achieving deterministic communications over Ethernet.As the implementation method of TSN traffic scheduling is not specified in the protocols, the routing and scheduling algorithm for TSN remains an open issue.The joint optimization problem of routing and scheduling in TSN for industrial applications was modeled, and then an online heuristic algorithm was proposed to deliver the routing and scheduling solution for dynamic traffics.The routing path was determined by optimizing both the transmission delay and network load factors, and the scheduling time was quickly conducted by twice clipping operations.Finally, a simulated TSN testbed was developed with NeSTiNg framework based on OMNeT.The simulation results show that the execution time of the proposed algorithm outperforms the baseline algorithms even with large scale of network size and network traffics.It shows that the proposed algorithm guarantees the real-time performance even in dynamically changing networks.…”
