Proof of work algorithm based on credit model by Zuan WANG, Youliang TIAN, Qiuxian LI, Xinhuan YANG

“…A consensus protocol based on the credit model was proposed.Firstly,the consensus agreement drew on the idea of personal credit risk assessment and a node credit model based on BP neural network was designed.Secondly,a piecewise rotation model was also constructed to segment the search space according to the node’s credit level to generate new blocks.At the same time,the possible attack of the protocol was analyzed and the vulnerability of this protocol was fixed.Finally,the simulation experiments show that the protocol not only effectively reduces the huge resource consumption in the process of new block generation,but also suppresses the generation of the large mine pool,making the whole blockchain system more secure and reliable.…”

Mutual authentication scheme based on the TPM cloud computing platform by Zhen-peng LIU, Feng-long WU, Kai-yu SHANG, Wen-lei CHAI, Xiao WANG

“…A mutual authentication scheme based on the TPM cloud computing platform was proposed to solve the problem of mutual authentication between user and cloud computing server.Trusted computing technology and traditional smart card password method were used in cloud computing service platform.The scheme completed the authentication of both sides in cloud computing,generated the session key according consulting,at the same time,verified the credibility of cloud service platform.Experiment analysis shows that our scheme can resist various kinds of possible attacks,so it is therefore more secure than other schemes.And the computing time meet the requirements of cloud computing environment.…”

Multi-authority attribute-based encryption with efficient revocation by Kai ZHANG, Jian-feng MA, Hui LI, Jun-wei ZHANG, Tao ZHANG

“…Multi-authority attribute-based encryption was very suitable for data access control in a cloud storage environment.However,efficient user revocation in multi-authority attribute-based encryption remains a challenging problem that prevents it from practical applications.A multi-authority ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme with efficient revocation was proposed in prime order bilinear groups,and was further proved statically secure and revocable in the random oracle model.Extensive efficiency analysis results indicate that the proposed scheme significantly reduce the computation cost for the users.In addition,the proposed scheme supports large universe and any monotone access structures,which makes it more flexible for practical applications.…”

Verifiable special threshold secret sharing scheme based on eigenvalue by Yanshuo ZHANG, Wenjing LI, Lei CHEN, Wei BI, Tao YANG

“…Utilizing the characteristic that the characteristic equation of the n-th order matrix have multiple roots,the secret distributor distributes two different sub-keys to each participant,and these two sub-keys satisfy two conditions:linear independent and equality of the corresponding characteristic values.In the process of sub-key distribution and master key recovery,the black box can judge the authenticity of the participants’ activities through the characteristics of the sub-keys.If the two sub-keys have satisfied two conditions of linear independence and equal feature values,it can be determined that the participant’s activity is honest,otherwise,it can be determined that there exists fraudulent activity.The analysis results show that the scheme is correct,secure,and the information rate is 12.…”
