Securing guarantee of the blockchain network:attacks and countermeasures by Peipei JIANG, Qian WANG, Yanjiao CHEN, Qi LI, Chao SHEN

“…While the security of blockchain has been the central concern of both academia and industry since the very start, new security threats continue to emerge, which poses great risks to the blockchain ecosystem.A systematic study was conducted on the most state-of-the-art research on potential security issues of blockchain.Specifically, a taxonomy was developed by considering the blockchain framework as a four-layer system, and the analysis on the most recent attacks against security loopholes in each layer was provided.Countermeasures that can strengthen the blockchain were also discussed by highlighting their fundamental ideas and comparing different solutions.Finally, the forefront of research and potential directions of blockchain security were put forward to encourage further studies on the security of blockchain.…”

Steganography based on parameters’ disturbance of spatial image transform by Xi SUN, Wei-ming ZHANG, Neng-hai YU, Yao WEI

“…In the research of state-of-the-art steganography algorithms,most of image sources were natural images in laboratory environment.However,with the rapid development of image process tools and applications,images after image processing were widely used in real world.How to use image process to improve steganography has not been systematically studied.Taking spatial image transform for consideration,a parameters’ disturbance model was presented,which could hide the noise taken by steganography in the pixel fluctuation due to the disturbance.Meanwhile,it would introduce cover source mismatch for a steganalyzer.The experimental results show that,compared with using traditional image database,it can significantly enhance the security of steganography algorithms and accommodative to the real world situation.…”

An energy-efficient multi-channel MAC protocol for linear sensor network by Fei TONG, Rucong SUI, Yu CHEN, Heng SU, Hengrui LIU, Shangfeng SU, Yuke YAN

“…Sensor nodes in linear sensor network (LSN) are deployed linearly due to the linear topology of the monitoring area.Most of the state-of-the-art medium access control (MAC) protocols designed for LSN adopted the duty-cycling and pipelined-forwarding (DCPF) schemes.They can reduce data propagation delay and network energy consumption but may still cause issues such as transmission competition, interference, and energy hole.To address these issues, an improved DCPF MAC protocol was proposed based on multiple channels and redundant-node deployment for LSN.The extensive simulations based on OPNET demonstrate that, compared with existing protocols, the proposed protocol shows a better performance in terms of energy efficiency, packet delivery ratio, throughput, and packet transmission latency.…”

Vessel segmentation of retinal image based on pixel specificity and self-adaptive classification strategy by Ping JIANG, Quan-sheng DOU

“…A new vessel segmentation method called specificity and self-adaptive vessel detection(SSVD)was proposed based on pixel specificity and self-adaptive classification strategy,in the beginning pixel specificity was defined,by setting a higher pixel specificity threshold,the main vessel skeleton was extracted; then self-adaptive classification process was implemented,and each of the remaining undetermined pixels acted as an Agent,within a multi-scale threshold range,Agent revised its own status according to the status of its neighbor,so as to complete the classification of the pixels; finally the noise was removed by multi-window noise filtering method.By testing SSVD on DRIVE database,the experiment shows that it is more accurate and efficient than state-of-the-art methods.…”
