Passive Indoor People Counting by Bluetooth Signal Deformation Analysis with Deep Learning by Giancarlo Iannizzotto, Lucia Lo Bello, Andrea Nucita

“…Notably, in the regression setup, the model can generalize to occupancy values not present in the fine-tuning dataset, requiring only a few minutes of calibration data to adapt to a new environment. We believe that this approach offers a valuable solution for real-time people counting in critical environments such as laboratories, clinics, or hospitals, where preserving privacy may limit the use of camera-based systems. …”

A novel ε-sensitive correlation indistinguishable scheme for publishing location data. by Wang Bin, Zhang Lei, Zhang Guoyin

“…So the published data had to be disposed to protect the privacy. In order to cope with this problem, a number of algorithms based on the strategy of k-anonymity were proposed, but this is not enough for the privacy protection, as the correlation between the sensitive region and the background knowledge can be used to infer the real location. …”

Research on the security of national secret algorithm based compute first networking by Jie PAN, Lan YE, Pengfei ZHANG, Zhonggui BU

“…With the promotion of national secret algorithm, in-depth research on the arithmetic network was carried out, a more efficient and reasonable security scheme for the arithmetic network was proposed, ensuring the data security and privacy of the arithmetic network with the help of the state secret algorithm.The main elements of the design program included: Supporting arithmetic demand and cryptographic invocation through the underlying resources, the arithmetic orchestration layer provided the ability to orchestrate data arithmetic, meanwhile, the arithmetic scheduling layer intelligently discerned the optimal nodes for arithmetic resource scheduling and allocation; the cryptographic reinforcement layer used the national secret algorithm based on hardware support with the help of public key cryptosystem, hash function, digital envelope, homomorphic encryption, blockchain and other technologies.Focusing on arithmetic network access security, transmission security, data security and privacy protection aspects of security implementation.An architecture and application form was innovatively proposed to guarantee the data security of the arithmetic network, which could meet the needs of the application layer arithmetic in the scenarios of big data, intelligent technology, etc..The security of the arithmetic network is enhanced by empowering the arithmetic network through the state-secret algorithm.…”

Membership inference attack and defense method in federated learning based on GAN by Jiale ZHANG, Chengcheng ZHU, Xiaobing SUN, Bing CHEN

“…Aiming at the problem that the federated learning system was extremely vulnerable to membership inference attacks initiated by malicious parties in the prediction stage, and the existing defense methods were difficult to achieve a balance between privacy protection and model loss.Membership inference attacks and their defense methods were explored in the context of federated learning.Firstly, two membership inference attack methods called class-level attack and user-level attack based on generative adversarial network (GAN) were proposed, where the former was aimed at leaking the training data privacy of all participants, while the latter could specify a specific participant.In addition, a membership inference defense method in federated learning based on adversarial sample (DefMIA) was further proposed, which could effectively defend against membership inference attacks by designing adversarial sample noise addition methods for global model parameters while ensuring the accuracy of federated learning.The experimental results show that class-level and user-level membership inference attack can achieve over 90% attack accuracy in federated learning, while after using the DefMIA method, their attack accuracy is significantly reduced, approaching random guessing (50%).…”
