Dynamic game and reliable recommendation based transferring reputation mechanism for mobile cloud computing by Hui LIN, Mengyang YU, Youliang TIAN, Yijie HUANG

“…The booming development of the mobile internet and cloud computing leads to the emerging of many mobile cloud platforms based services.However,since mobile users store lots of data and privacy information in the cloud when they are using the mobile cloud services,they are facing multiple increasingly serious security threats such as data leaks and privacy exposures.The data security and privacy protection was investigated in mobile cloud computing,aiming at the internal bad mouthing attacks and mobile attacks.A dynamic game and reliable recommendation based transferring reputation mechanism was proposed.First,a dynamic game based recommendation incentive mechanism was proposed.Secondly,a reliable recommendation reputation evaluation model was established based on the incentive mechanism.Last,a novel transferring reputation mechanism was proposed that combined the above mentioned incentive mechanism and reputation evaluation model.Simulation results demonstrate the proposed transferring reputation mechanism can defend against the internal bad mouthing attacks and mobile attacks effectively,enhance the credibility of mobile terminals and improve the data security and privacy protection of mobile cloud services.…”

Online medical privacy protection strategy under information value-added mechanism by Shengzhi MING, Jianming ZHU, Zhiyuan SUI, Xian ZHANG

“…China’s economic level and people’s living standards have developed rapidly in recent years, and the medical level and medical technology have made breakthroughs continuously.With the promotion and deepening of“Internet Plus” to business model innovation in various fields, the development of “Internet Plus” medical has been rapidly developed.Due to the continuous development of data processing technologies such as machine learning and data mining, the risk of users’ personal medical data disclosure in the process of online medical treatment has also attracted the attention of researchers.Considering the deductibility of information, the discount mechanism was adopted to describe the change of user’s private information value in different stages of the game.Combined with the current research status in the field of online medical privacy protection motivation, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of both players from the level of privacy protection motivation was explored with game analysis.In view of the game characteristics of users’ strong willingness to continually use the online medical platform and intermittently provide privacy, the repeated game method was adopted to better describe the game process between users and the online medical platform.The tendency change law of the players on both sides of the game was obtained.Moreover, the Nash equilibrium of the game model was analyzed under different model parameters and the change trend of the game strategy of both sides with the progress of the game stage.When the parameters were met 2(c_p-c_n)≥l_p(p_n-p_p), the user started to choose from “agree to share private data” to “refuse to share private data”.The above conclusion was verified by simulation experiments.Based on the above conclusions, from the perspective of online medical platform and users, policy suggestions on how to realize privacy protection from the level of privacy protection motivation in the process of online medical treatment were given.…”

A Communication-Efficient Distributed Matrix Multiplication Scheme with Privacy, Security, and Resiliency by Tao Wang, Zhiping Shi, Juan Yang, Sha Liu

“…Inspired by the application of repairing Reed–Solomon (RS) codes in distributed storage and secret sharing, we propose SDMM schemes with reduced communication overhead through the use of trace polynomials. Specifically, these schemes are designed to address three critical concerns: (i) ensuring information-theoretic privacy against collusion among servers; (ii) providing security against Byzantine servers; and (iii) offering resiliency against stragglers to mitigate computing delays. …”
