High-performance reconfigurable encryption scheme for distributed storage by Zhihua FENG, Yuxuan ZHANG, Chong LUO, Jianing WANG

“…As the world embraces the digital economy and enters an information society, data has emerged as a critical production factor.The collection, processing, and storage of data have become increasingly prevalent.Distributed storage systems, known for their efficiency, are widely used in various data fields.However, as the scale of data storage continues to expand, distributed storage faces more significant security risks, such as information leakage and data destruction.These challenges drive the need for innovative advancements in big data distributed storage security technology and foster the integration of domestic cryptographic technology with computing storage technology.This work focused on addressing security issues, particularly information leakage, in distributed storage nodes.A dynamic and reconfigurable encryption storage solution was proposed, which considered the requirements for encryption performance and flexibility.A high-performance reconfigurable cryptographic module was designed based on the bio mapping framework.Based on this module, multiple storage pools equipped with different cryptographic algorithms were constructed to facilitate high-performance encryption and decryption operations on hard disk data.The scheme also enabled dynamic switching of cryptographic algorithms within the storage pools.A cryptographic protocol with remote online loading functions for cryptographic algorithms and keys was developed to meet the unified management and convenient security update requirements of reconfigurable cryptographic modules in various storage nodes.Furthermore, the scheme implemented fine-grained data encryption protection and logical security isolation functions based on cryptographic reconstruction technology.Experimental results demonstrate that the performance loss of this scheme for encryption protection and security isolation of stored data is approximately 10%.It provides a technical approach for distributed storage systems to meet the cryptographic application technology requirements outlined in GB/T 39786-2021 “Information Security Technology-Basic Requirements for Cryptography Applications” Level 3 and above in terms of device and computing security, application and data security.…”

Digital rural construction, resource mismatch, and rural land use efficiency by Zhiguo Fan, Fenghua Guo, Chen Bian

“…This conclusion still holds true after endogeneity and robustness tests. (2) Mechanism analysis shows that digital rural construction can alleviate the mismatch of land resources, capital resources, and labor resources, thereby indirectly promoting the improvement of rural land use efficiency. (3) Heterogeneity analysis shows that the construction of digital rural areas has a more significant driving effect on the efficiency of rural land use in eastern and southern regions of China, as well as in major grain producing and selling areas.DiscussionThis article suggests continuing to promote the development strategy of digital rural construction, improving the problem of resource mismatch, and paying attention to the regional imbalance of digital rural construction. …”

Cache of cryptographic key based on query popularity by Wei JIN, Fenghua LI, Ziyan ZHOU, Xiyang SUN, Yunchuan GUO

“…In the current HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) key management system, the encryption zone keys are all loaded into the memory during startup of key service.With the increase of the key resource, the occupied memory space also grows, bringing the bottleneck of memory space and key indexing.There are three challenges induced: how to organize cached data and efficiently handle queries with missed keys, how to adjust key resources in the cache, and how to accurately predict the use of keys.In order to achieve fine-grained and efficient caching and improve the efficiency of key use, key caching optimization was considered from three aspects: key index data structure, key replacement algorithm, and key prefetching strategy.An architecture of key cache replacement module was designed, and then a key replacement algorithm based on the query frequency was set.Specifically, from the perspective of heat computing and key replacement, the potential influencing factors affecting the popularity of key cache were analyzed which considered the file system and user of key management system.Besides, the basic model of key usage popularity was constructed.The hash table and minheap linked list was combined to maintain the heat of the key in use, and the elimination algorithm was set based on heat identification.The key in the cache was dynamically updated, and key usage was adjusted by the time controller, so as to realize key replacement according to the key heat.For key prefetching, key usage rules were obtained through log mining and periodical usage analyzing of key provisioning policies, which considered business processes and the time period dimension of user accessing.Experimental results show that the proposed key replacement algorithm can effectively improve the hit rate of cache queries, reduce memory usage, and ameliorate the impact of key file I/O interaction on query performance.…”
