A novel fuzzy vault scheme based on the feature level fusion of fingerprint and face features by Xun LI, Lin YOU, Jiahao LIANG, Chunhui YAN

“…Aiming at the problem that the biometric feature-based fuzzy vault is vulnerable to correlation attack and the loss of key and biometric template,and the authentication performance of fuzzy vault based on single biometric feature is unreliable,a novel fuzzy vault scheme based on the feature level fusion of fingerprint and face features was proposed.This scheme carried out irreversible transformation of fingerprint features and face features,and based on the Diffie-Hellman algorithm,the transformed fingerprints and face features were fused into a template at the feature level.Finally,the fusion template was used to construct the fuzzy vault.By updating the random matrix,the vault could be revoked,which could effectively resist the correlation attacks and achieve reliable authentication.Experimental results show that the proposed scheme improves the reliability of the system and the security of multiple biometric templates.…”

A estética contemporânea: nova poética, novo olhar by Cid Ottoni Bylaardt

“…The so-called Post-Modernism in Brazil, as in most western countries, is a multiple phenomenon, full of indetermination. One aspect of this panorama is the distrust of speech structures once considered stables that seemed to characterize the modernist language, and also the consciense of the precarious status of the groundworks and determinations, which is disseminated in the idea of scattering, of insuficiency of the dialectics supported by enlightenment and rationalism. …”

An Improved Retransmission Approacb Based on Opportunistic Network Coding in Multicast Networks by Pengfei Shao, Yanwei Zhao, Yaohui Wu, Xinwei Yao

“…A novel opportunistic-network-coding-based retransmission approach was proposed.According to the feedback on packet loss from the receiving nodes,this novel approach can not only efficiently select a combination of lost packets through Hash lookup for packet retransmission,but also can ensure priority retransmission making up to a single combination retransmission packet which can maximize the number of receiving nodes for recovering their lost packets.Furthermore,the proposed approach fully exploits the coding opportunity based on neighborhood association,and allows the receiving nodes to recover their lost packets from multiple retransmission packets.The simulation results show that this novel approach can effectively reduce the number of retransmissions to improve the transmission efficiency with respect to the existing algorithms.…”

AONT-and-NTRU-based rekeying scheme for encrypted deduplication by Chunfu JIA, Guanxiong HA, Shaoqiang WU, Hang CHEN, Ruiqi LI

“…Rekeying is a good way to protect against key exposure.Most of the existing encrypted deduplication systems are implemented based on message-locked-encryption, in which multiple users with the identical data share the same encryption key.When a user updates keys, that update must be followed by all other data owners, which will incur large computational and communicational overheads.To solve this problem, an AONT-and-NTRU-based rekeying scheme was proposed, a variant of AONT was designed to solve the synchronization problem of multi-user rekeying, and a proxy re-encryption algorithm based on NTRU was introduced to reduce the communicational overhead for the system and computational overhead for clients during rekeying.The efficiency analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheme has better encryption and decryption efficiency than existing schemes and the time cost of rekeying is significantly reduced.…”

A density clustering-based network performance failure big data analysis algorithm by Xiang LI, Yuan LI, Zifei ZHANG, Zhe YANG

“…Facing frequent network security incidents,how to quickly find abnormal data in massive monitoring database and carry out network failure analysis becomes a research difficulty.A density-based network performance failure big data analysis algorithm was proposed,which extracted key performance characteristic indicators through entropy weight analysis,implemented data shaping through data cleaning and standardization,and extracted abnormal performance data on the basis of DBSCAN clustering algorithm.Relying on the real-time massive backbone network link performance data of multiple domestic operators to validated this algorithm,the results shows that compared with the manually manner,the recognition accuracy of the algorithm proposed to the network performance abnormal data is more than 90%,which can well fit for the analysis of real-time Internet network operation failure.…”

Dynamic P2P trust model based on context factors by Yi-chun LIU, Ying-hong LIANG

“…A multi-dimensional trust model was constructed based on the context factors.The direct trust of the interac-tive entities was estimated by integrating the time-decay factor,the transaction impact factor and the participation fre-quency.The trust similarity algorithm was designed based on the Dice similarity and the feedback credibility was aggre-gated from multiple trust chains.The direct interaction,the evaluation similarity and the trust chain was integrated for calculating the recommendation trust.The peer's trust was evaluated by combing the direct trust and the recommendation trust.A new mechanisam was proposed for the trust's update,incentive or punishment according to the peer's behavior on the interaction.The practical example analysis shows that the proposed model can effectively explain the effect of the transaction contextual factors on the entity trust,and can improve the trust sensitivity to the context transaction factors.…”

State recovery attack on ACORN v3 in nonce-reuse setting by Guoshuang ZHANG, Xiao CHEN, Dongdai LIN, Fengmei LIU

“…Based on differential-algebraic method and guess-and-determine technique,the state recovery attack of ACORN v3 was presented when one pair of key and Nonce was used to encrypt two messages.The time complexity of the attack was 2^122.5c,where c was the time complexity of solving linear equations.The data complexity and the storage complexity were negligible.Furthermore,according to the analysis on the sense of multiple nonce reuse,it is found that relatively complicated filter function of ACORN v3 makes it infeasible to extract the linear equations about the internal state directly from key streams.Thus,the risk of significantly reducing the attack complexity by increasing the times of nonce reuse can be effectively avoided.…”
