An access control scheme for IoT based on smart contracts and CP-ABE by SUN Changxia, ZHANG Chuanhu, LIU Bingjie, YANG Yingjie, BAÇÃO Fernando, LIU Qian

“…Furthermore, contracts were designed to be deployed on the blockchain for decentralized permission evaluation of token requests, maintaining the allowed operations for subjects on specific resource objects, realizing more fine-grained attribute-based access control. Simulation experiments and performance analysis demonstrate that compared to existing solutions, this approach enables data owners to securely authorize access for a large number of requesting subjects in a shorter time frame. …”

Improvement of Discrete Phase Model for Particles and Its Validation for Application in Numerical Simulation of Landslide Surges by HAO Yuetong, XIAO Hong

“…In the simulation of particle accumulation body collapse-surge test, the maximum surge height obtained by numerical simulation is 8.67 cm, which is more consistent with the physical test results, proving that the improved CFD-DEM fluid-solid coupling model proposed in this paper can effectively restore the particle motion state and the fluctuation change of the surge, and it can meet the needs of the coarse-grained material modeling of landslides in the simulation of the landslide surge process and the high-resolution real topography grid in the simulation of landslide surge process.…”

Attribute-based encryption scheme supporting attribute revocation in cloud storage environment by Lei SUN, Zhiyuan ZHAO, Jianhua WANG, Zhiqiang ZHU

“…Attribute-based encryption (ABE) scheme is widely used in the cloud storage due to its fine-grained access control.Each attribute in ABE may be shared by multiple users at the same time.Therefore,how to achieve attribute-level user revocation is currently facing an important challenge.Through research,it has been found that some attribute-level user revocation schemes currently can’t resist the collusion attack between the revoked user and the existing user.To solve this problem,an attribute-based encryption scheme that supported the immediate attribute revocation was proposed.The scheme could achieve attribute-level user revocation and could effectively resist collusion attacks between the revoked users and the existing users.At the same time,this scheme outsourced complex decryption calculations to cloud service providers with powerful computing ability,which reduced the computational burden of the data user.The scheme was proved secure based on computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the standard model.Finally,the functionality and efficiency of the proposed scheme were analyzed and verified.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can safely implement attribute-level user revocation and has the ability to quickly decrypt,which greatly improves the system efficiency.…”
