Data sharing scheme for 5G IoT based on blockchain by Kang QIAO, Wei YOU, Lingwei WANG, Hongbo TANG

“…The massive amount of IoT data has great value,but the existing cloud-based data sharing mechanism faces problems such as single points of failure and internal leakage,which can not ensure the secure sharing of user data.In order to achieve efficient and reliable data sharing,the blockchain technology was used to propose a 5G IoT data sharing scheme based on blockchain.Firstly,the proposed scheme designed data sharing framework and data sharing process,based on the lightning network solution,an off-chain transaction mechanism for data sharing of the internet of things was proposed.Experimental analysis shows that the 5G IoT data sharing framework based on blockchain has strong anti-attack ability and the off-chain transaction mechanism based on lightning network can greatly increase transaction throughput and reduce transaction delay.…”

Design of privacy-preserving authentication protocol for service invocation by Linpeng CHAI, Bin ZHANG, Yang LIU, Jiajia SUN

“…Aiming at the requirement of the safe transmission of authentication credentials and the privacy preserving in service orientied multi-domain collaboration environment,a privacy-preserving authentication protocol for service invocation based on the provable secure certificateless aggregate signcryption scheme was proposed.By the path of the service invocation,the authentication information has been signcrypted successively,ensuring that the service providers can dynamically and orderly join in the process of service invocation authentication.The credentials and shared information can be safely transmitted respectively by the aggregate signcryption scheme and Diffie-Hellman algorithm,thus the SOAP message only can be decoded by specified acceptor,which is suitable for controlling the disclosure scope of the privacy information.Simultaneously,the public verifiability of CLASC can ensure that the validity of the aggregate signcryption can be verified by other service providers.The length of the SOAP message is shorter than existed protocols,which improve the transfer efficiency.…”

Full duplex secret transmission scheme based on user cooperation by Xiao-lei KANG, Xin-sheng JI, Lu XIA, Kai-zhi HUANG

“…Full-duplex artificial noise scheme can achieve a limited improvement while the interference power keeps increasing and the full-duplex gain is null.To solve these two problems,a full-duplex secure transmission scheme based on user cooperation was proposed,in which the full-duplex receiver used partial power to send artificial noise,and transmitted the downlink signal by the remaining power to the user who shared the same frequency.In order to maximize the system secrecy rate,the beam vector of the desired signal and the artificial noise were designed.Besides,the optimal power allocation factor was obtained by one-dimensional search simply.Simulation results show that compared with the RS-ref and HD methods,the proposed method can achieve an approximate linear growth in high power and can obtain the full-duplex gain.…”

Aggregated privacy-preserving auditing for cloud data integrity by Kai HE, Chuan-he HUANG, Xiao-mao WANG, Jing WANG, Jiao-li SHI

“…To solve the problem of data integrity in cloud storage,an aggregated privacy-preserving auditing scheme was proposed.To preserve data privacy against the auditor,data proof and tag proof were encrypted and combined by using the bilinearity property of the bilinear pairing on the cloud server.Furthermore,an efficient index mechanism was designed to support dynamic auditing,which could ensure that data update operations did not lead to high additional computation or communication cost.Meanwhile,an aggregation method for different proofs was designed to handle multiple auditing requests.Thus the proposed scheme could also support batch auditing for multiple owners and multiple clouds and multiple files.The communication cost of batch auditing was independent of the number of auditing requests.The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheme is provably secure.Compared with existing auditing scheme,the efficacy of the proposed individual auditing and batch auditing improves 21.5% and 31.8% respectively.…”
