Cloud data secure deduplication scheme via role-based symmetric encryption by Jinbo XIONG, Yuanyuan ZHANG, Youliang TIAN, Zuobin YING, Qi LI, Rong MA

“…The rapid development of cloud computing and big data technology brings prople to enter the era of big data,more and more enterprises and individuals outsource their data to the cloud service providers.The explosive growth of data and data replicas as well as the increasing management overhead bring a big challenge to the cloud storage space.Meanwhile,some serious issues such as the privacy disclosure,authorized access,secure deduplication,rekeying and permission revocation should also be taken into account.In order to address these problems,a role-based symmetric encryption algorithm was proposed,which established a mapping relation between roles and role keys.Moreover,a secure deduplication scheme was proposed via role-based symmetric encryption to achieve both the privacy protection and the authorized deduplication under the hierarchical architecture in the cloud computing environment.Furthermore,in the proposed scheme,the group key agreement protocol was utilized to achieve rekeying and permission revocation.Finally,the security analysis shows that the proposed role-based symmetric encryption algorithm is provably secure under the standard model,and the deduplication scheme can meet the security requirements.The performance analysis and experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme is effective and efficient.…”

A Scalable Blockchain Framework for ELA Assessment by Chunxia Tian

“…We propose a proficiency evaluation model based on a Discrete Hopfield Neural Network (DHNN). Firstly, the hierarchical analysis method is used to construct the evaluation index system of students’ English ability, and then the ability classification indexes are divided into 5 levels.The network achieves the classification of students’ English proficiency through the associative memory of the classification criteria, and the classification results are compared with those of the BPNN model. …”

Non-Markovian quantum exceptional points by Jhen-Dong Lin, Po-Chen Kuo, Neill Lambert, Adam Miranowicz, Franco Nori, Yueh-Nan Chen

“…This work addresses this gap by proposing a general framework based on two numerically exact descriptions of non-Markovian dynamics: the pseudomode equation of motion (PMEOM) and the hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM). The PMEOM is particularly useful due to its Lindblad-type structure, aligning with previous studies in the Markovian regime while offering deeper insights into EP identification. …”

Copyright protection algorithm based on differential privacy deep fake fingerprint detection model by Chengsheng YUAN, Qiang GUO, Zhangjie FU

“…A copyright protection algorithm based on differential privacy for deep fake fingerprint detection model (DFFDM) was proposed, realizing active copyright protection and passive copyright verification of DFFDM without weakening the performance of the original task.In the original task training, noise was added to introduce randomness, and the expected stability of the differential privacy algorithm was used to make classification decisions to reduce the sensitivity to noise.In passive verification, FGSM was used to generate adversarial samples, the decision boundary was fine-adjusted to establish a backdoor, and the mapping was used as an implanted watermark to realize passive verification.To solve the copyright confusion caused by multiple backdoors, a watermark verification framework was designed, which stamped the trigger backdoors and identified the copyright with the help of time order.In active protection, to provide users with hierarchical services, the key neurons in the task were frozen by probabilistic selection strategy, and the access rights were designed to realize the thawing of neurons, so as to obtain the right to use the original task.Experimental results show that the backdoor verification is still effective under different model performance, and the embedded backdoor shows a certain robustness to the model modification.Also, the proposed algorithm can resist not only the collusion attack by the attacker to recruit legitimate users, but also the fine-tuning and compression attacks caused by the model modification.…”
