Time-based and privacy protection revocable and traceable data sharing scheme in cloud computing by Jiawei ZHANG, Jianfeng MA, Zhuo MA, Teng LI

“…General ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) provides fine-grained access control for data sharing in cloud computing, but its plaintext formed access policy may cause leakage of private and sensitive data.And revoking a malicious user by accurately tracing the identity according to a leaked decryption key is a huge challenge.Moreover, most of existing revocable schemes incur long user revocation list and low efficiency.To solve these problems, a time-based and privacy preserving revocable and traceable data sharing scheme was proposed based on CP-ABE to support expressive monotonic and partial hidden access policy, large attribute universe by conceal the attribute values in access policy.Time-limited data access control using hierarchical identity-based encryption was achieved to set key valid period for users.Moreover, with the approaches of white-box tracing and binary tree, efficient user tracing and direct revocation with shorter revocation list was realized together with high efficiency via online/offline and verifiable outsourced decryption techniques.Furthermore, the scheme was secure under decisional q-BDHE assumption.Theoretical analysis and extensive experiments demonstrate its advantageous performance in computational and storage cost.…”

Access control scheme for medical data based on PBAC and IBE by Yi-ting ZHANG, Yu-chuan FU, Ming YANG, Jun-zhou LUO

“…Due to the large amount of personal privacy information contained,the medical big data formed in the health care industry was faced with potential threats of both external attacks and internal data leakages.However,traditional access control technology didn’t take into account the important role of user access purpose in the access control schemes that emphasized data privacy,and existing symmetric and asymmetric encryption technologies both face problems such as the complexity of key and certificate management.To address these problems,a novel access control scheme based on PBAC model and IBE encryption technology was proposed,which could provide flexible access control of encrypted medical data.By introducing the concept of conditioned purpose,the PBAC model was extended to achieve full coverage of purpose trees.Furthermore,the scheme used patient ID,conditioned bit and intended purpose as the IBE public key,with which patients’ data were encrypted.Only users who pass the authentication and whose access purposes conform to the intended purposes can obtain the corresponding private keys and the encrypted data,thereby achieving access to patients’ information.Experimental results prove that the scheme can achieve the goals of fine-grained access control and privacy protection with high performance.…”

Blockchain-based and verifiable multidimensional data aggregation and sharing scheme for smart grid by Jianwei CHEN, Shuyu WANG, Meiping ZHANG, Zhenping ZHANG

“…Aiming at the problem that how to support lightweight multi-dimensional data aggregation, achieve double-end integrity verification of multi-dimensional data in the overall process of the system, and deal with the centralization of cloud servers, a blockchain-based and verifiable multidimensional data aggregation and sharing scheme for smart grid was proposed.Firstly, in order to meet the demand for fine-grained analysis of power data in smart grid, privacy-preserving multidimensional data aggregation was achieved by using masked values and Horner’s rule.On this basis, for the data integrity verification problem of the existing data aggregation scheme in the sharing of cloud storage data with the third party, a new signature algorithm was designed by borrowing the RSA-based multiplicative homomorphic commitment scheme and homomorphic hash function homomorphism, which enabled the cloud server to verify the integrity of aggregated data and be used for integrity verification in the data sharing phase, i.e., it achieved double-end verifiability of cloud storage data and was resistant to internal attacks.Meanwhile, an aggregated data sharing architecture based on federated chain multichain was proposed to effectively avoid centralisation problems such as single-machine processing bottleneck and vulnerability to attacks.The theoretical analysis proves the security of the scheme.Performance experiments show that the proposed scheme has lower computation and communication costs compared with existing schemes.…”

Evaluation of Water Resources Carrying Capacity in Heilongjiang Province Based on PSO-SVM Model by WANG Tao, LI Zhijun

“…The problem of water resources has triggered a global crisis.With the rapid development of the social economy,the rapid increase in population,and the acceleration of modernization and urbanization,the demand for water in various industries is gradually increasing,and the problems of water shortage and water waste are becoming serious.Heilongjiang Province is an important industrial base and a major grain-producing province in China.With the rapid development of the economy and society,the contradiction between the supply and demand of water resources has become increasingly prominent.Although many measures have been taken to protect water resources in Heilongjiang Province,the development and utilization situation of water resources is still severe.In view of the above problems,this paper established a support vector machine (SVM) model optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to evaluate the water resources carrying capacity in Heilongjiang Province.Based on the actual situation of Heilongjiang Province,an evaluation index system and index grading standards were established to evaluate the water resources carrying capacity of 13 cities in Heilongjiang Province in 2020.It thus provides a reference for the development and utilization of water resources in the future and plays a certain role in the application and promotion of SVM in water resources.The PSO-SVM model complements the theory of multi-factor comprehensive evaluation.…”

Research on the Obstruction Process of Rigid Netting Barriers toward Granular Flow by Yunyun Fan, Fengyuan Wu

“…On this basis, the discrete element method was applied to simulate the obstruction process affecting granular flow under different RNB setting conditions, and the calculation results clearly present the phenomena that occur during the obstruction process of RNBs toward granular flow, such as “run-up,” “overflow,” “passing-through,” and “grain-size segregation.” By analyzing the effects of these phenomena on the obstruction efficiency and the time history of the forces acting on the RNB, the rational setting of an RNB was further discussed. …”

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.…”

Sur le problème de la méthode dans les cultural studies et ce que nous apprend leur différend fondateur by Thierry Labica

“…The narrative of CS’ inception and later growth from an allegedly foundational Marxist frame of reference from the early 1960s onward, then followed by an erosion and disappearance of the Marxist baggage, has been a common one for some time. Against the grain of such familiar assumptions, this chapter aims to signal the eclecticism already inherent in the very formative debates which heralded this whole field of critical practices. …”
