Robust Optimal Sliding-Mode Tracking Control for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear MIMO Systems by Haiping Pang, Xiuqin Yang

“…A LQR tracking controller (LQRTC) is designed for the corresponding nominal system, and the integral sliding-mode strategy is used to robustify the LQRTC. As a result, the original system exhibits global robustness to the uncertainties, and the tracking dynamics is the same as that of LQRTC for the nominal system. …”

Data poisoning attack detection approach for quality of service aware cloud API recommender system by Zhen CHEN, Wenchao QI, Taiyu BAO, Limin SHEN

“…To solve the problem that existing studies usually assumed that the QoS data of cloud API recommender system was reliable, ignoring the data poisoning attack on cloud API recommender system by malicious users in open network environment, a data poisoning attack detection approach based on multi-feature fusion was proposed.Firstly, a user connected network graph was constructed based on the designed similarity function, and users’ neighborhood features were captured using Node2vec.Secondly, sparse auto-encoder was used to mine user QoS deep feature, and user interpretation feature based on QoS data weighted average deviation was designed.Furthermore, a fake user detection model based on support vector machine was established by integrating user neighborhood feature, QoS deep feature, and interpretation feature, the model parameters were learned using grid search and alternating iterative optimization strategy to complete fake user detection.Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach were verified through extensive experiments, realizing the poison attack defense against QoS aware cloud API recommender system at the data side.…”

ICA based blind detection scheme in space-time block coding communications by XU Hong-ji 1, LIU Ju 1, GU Bo1, HU Hui-bo1

“…Space-time block coding（STBC） schemes are capable of improving system performance by using transmit diversity strategy and specific coding schemes.Nevertheless,they need precise channel state information（CSI） at the receiver end in order to achieve good detection performance,which is difficult to be guaranteed in some specific scenarios because of complicated communication conditions.Independent component analysis（ICA） technique is to separate a complex data set into a couple of independent sub-sets,which belongs to the family of blind source separation（BSS） technique.ICA techniques were exploited into the STBC communication systems,and they were used to detect the transmitted signals blindly,which need not the channel estimation.After analyzing the essential structure of STBC system,the specific model suitable to ICA is established,and several typical ICA algorithms are adopted to make a comparison.The robustness against channel estimation errors can be acquired by using the ICA based schemes.Simulation results demonstrate the validity of proposed approaches,and after the comparison among different ICA based detection schemes,the optimal one is found and the discussions are also given.…”

Quantum public-key encryption protocol based on single-photon by Wen-jun LUO, Guan-li LIU

“…A quantum public-key encryption protocol based on single-photon was provided.Pseudo random sequence mapping to private keys to implement corresponding quantum operations and then obtaining quantum public-key to encode the plaintext was used.Employ the method of block classification to lower the requirement for storage capacity of the sender.A new quantum source as transmission carrier was introduced and simply encoding and decoding rules were designed based on the laws of quantum non-cloning and ciphertext indistinguishability.On the other hand,classical one-time pad technique is used to ensure the security of quantum key and plaintext in the transmission channel.At the same time,select different updating strategy of quantum public-key according to the results of error detection which can significantly reduce key consumption.Compared with the previous quantum public-key encryption based on entangled states and single-photon,there are no entangled states and decoyed particles are needed,so it is not only efficient to reduce the overhead of communication traffic between legitimate users,but also easier to carry out in practice.The analysis shows that the proposed scheme is secure.…”
