ABAC access control policy generation technique based on deep learning by Aodi LIU, Xuehui DU, Na WANG, Rui QIAO

“…To solve the problem of automatic generation of access control policies, an access control policy generation framework based on deep learning was proposed.Access control policy based on attributes could be generated from natural language texts.This technology could significantly reduce the time cost of access control policy generation and provide effective support for the implementation of access control.The policy generation problem was decomposed into two core tasks, identification of access control policy sentence and access control attribute mining.Neural network models such as BiGRU-CNN-Attention and AM-BiLSTM-CRF were designed respectively to realize identification of access control policy sentence and access control attribute mining, so as to generate readable and executable access control policies.Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance than the benchmark method.In particular, the average F1-score index can reach 0.941 in the identification task of access control policy sentence, which is 4.1% better than the current state-of-the-art method.…”

Cloud data secure deduplication scheme via role-based symmetric encryption by Jinbo XIONG, Yuanyuan ZHANG, Youliang TIAN, Zuobin YING, Qi LI, Rong MA

“…The rapid development of cloud computing and big data technology brings prople to enter the era of big data,more and more enterprises and individuals outsource their data to the cloud service providers.The explosive growth of data and data replicas as well as the increasing management overhead bring a big challenge to the cloud storage space.Meanwhile,some serious issues such as the privacy disclosure,authorized access,secure deduplication,rekeying and permission revocation should also be taken into account.In order to address these problems,a role-based symmetric encryption algorithm was proposed,which established a mapping relation between roles and role keys.Moreover,a secure deduplication scheme was proposed via role-based symmetric encryption to achieve both the privacy protection and the authorized deduplication under the hierarchical architecture in the cloud computing environment.Furthermore,in the proposed scheme,the group key agreement protocol was utilized to achieve rekeying and permission revocation.Finally,the security analysis shows that the proposed role-based symmetric encryption algorithm is provably secure under the standard model,and the deduplication scheme can meet the security requirements.The performance analysis and experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme is effective and efficient.…”
