Automated Windows domain penetration method based on reinforcement learning by Lige ZHAN, Letian SHA, Fu XIAO, Jiankuo DONG, Pinchang ZHANG

“…Windows domain provides a unified system service for resource sharing and information interaction among users.However, this also introduces significant security risks while facilitating intranet management.In recent years, intranet attacks targeting domain controllers have become increasingly prevalent, necessitating automated penetration testing to detect vulnerabilities and ensure the ongoing maintenance of office network operations.Then efficient identification of attack paths within the domain environment is crucial.The penetration process was first modeled using reinforcement learning, and attack paths were then discovered and verified through the interaction of the model with the domain environment.Furthermore, unnecessary states in the reinforcement learning model were trimmed based on the contribution differences of hosts to the penetration process, aiming to optimize the path selection strategy and improve the actual attack efficiency.The Q-learning algorithms with solution space refinement and exploration policy optimization were utilized to filter the optimal attack path.By employing this method, all security threats in the domain can be automatically verified, providing a valuable protection basis for domain administrators.Experiments were conducted on typical Windows domain scenarios, and the results show that the optimal path is selected from the thirteen efficient paths generated by the proposed method, while also providing better performance optimization in terms of domain controller intrusion, domain host intrusion, attack steps, convergence, and time cost compared to other approaches.…”

Searchable encryption scheme based on attribute policy hiding in a cloud environment by Yihua ZHOU, Xinyu HU, Meiqi LI, Yuguang YANG

“…Attribute-based searchable encryption technology can achieve fine-grained access control of data, but the existing searchable encryption scheme, keyword search, access control and file encryption are basically performed separately, causing the attacker to directly skip the access policy for keyword index matching and file decryption.Besides, the data owners in the existing schemes need to pass the key of the encrypted file to the user in a secure channel, which increases the cost of the data owner.Furthermore, most tree-based access control policies are open and easy to cause privacy leakage.Therefore, based on the LSSS (linear secret sharing schemes) access architecture, the searchable encryption scheme based on attribute policy hiding in a cloud environment was proposed.Through the embedding of policy secret values into keyword encryption and file storage encryption, the combination of access control, keyword search and file encryption were realized.The aggregate key technology enables users to decrypt files without interacting with the data owner, reducing the burden of key management and increasing storage space by approximately 30%.The experimental results and security analysis show that the proposed scheme guarantees the security of stored data, privacy of access strategy and non-connectivity of trap gate.Compared with the existing mainstream scheme, the retrieval efficiency of the proposed scheme has improved to more than 20%.…”
