Overview of detection techniques for malicious social bots by Rong LIU, Bo CHEN, Ling YU, Ya-shang LIU, Si-yuan CHEN

“…The attackers use social bots to steal people’s privacy,propagate fraud messages and influent public opinions,which has brought a great threat for personal privacy security,social public security and even the security of the nation.The attackers are also introducing new techniques to carry out anti-detection.The detection of malicious social bots has become one of the most important problems in the research of online social network security and it is also a difficult problem.Firstly,development and application of social bots was reviewed and then a formulation description for the problem of detecting malicious social bots was made.Besides,main challenges in the detection of malicious social bots were analyzed.As for how to choose features for the detection,the development of choosing features that from static user features to dynamic propagation features and to relationship and evolution features were classified.As for choosing which method,approaches from the previous research based on features,machine learning,graph and crowd sourcing were summarized.Also,the limitation of these methods in detection accuracy,computation cost and so on was dissected.At last,a framework based on parallelizing machine learning methods to detect malicious social bots was proposed.…”

Lightweight terminal cross-domain authentication protocol in edge computing environment by Hongying ZHU, Xinyou ZHANG, Huanlai XING, Li FENG

“…Edge computing has gained widespread usage in intelligent applications due to its benefits, including low latency, high bandwidth, and cost-effectiveness.However, it also faces many security challenges due to its distributed, real-time, multi-source and heterogeneous data characteristics.Identity authentication serves as the initial step for terminal to access to the network and acts as the first line of defense for edge computing.To address the security issues in the edge computing environment, a terminal cross-domain authentication protocol suitable for the edge computing environment was proposed based on the ＆quot;cloud-edge-end＆quot; three-level network authentication architecture.Access authentication was implemented between terminals and local edge nodes based on the SM9 algorithm, and session keys were negotiated.The secret key was combined with symmetric encryption technology and hash function to achieve cross-domain authentication for the terminal.The pseudonym mechanism was used in the authentication process to protect the privacy of end users.The terminal only needs to register once, and it can roam randomly between different security domains.BAN logic was used to prove the correctness of the protocol and analyze its security.The results show that this protocol is capable of resisting common attacks in IoT scenarios, and it features characteristics such as single sign-on and user anonymity.The performance of the cross-domain authentication protocol was evaluated based on computational and communication costs, and compared with existing schemes.The experimental results show that this protocol outperforms other schemes in terms of computational and communication costs, making it suitable for resource-constrained terminal devices.Overall, the proposed protocol offers lightweight and secure identity authentication within edge computing environments.…”

Edge computing privacy protection method based on blockchain and federated learning by Chen FANG, Yuanbo GUO, Yifeng WANG, Yongjin HU, Jiali MA, Han ZHANG, Yangyang HU

“…Aiming at the needs of edge computing for data privacy, the correctness of calculation results and the auditability of data processing, a privacy protection method for edge computing based on blockchain and federated learning was proposed, which can realize collaborative training with multiple devices at the edge of the network without a trusted environment and special hardware facilities.The blockchain was used to endow the edge computing with features such as tamper-proof and resistance to single-point-of-failure attacks, and the gradient verification and incentive mechanism were incorporated into the consensus protocol to encourage more local devices to honestly contribute computing power and data to the federated learning.For the potential privacy leakage problems caused by sharing model parameters, an adaptive differential privacy mechanism was designed to protect parameter privacy while reducing the impact of noise on the model accuracy, and moments accountant was used to accurately track the privacy loss during the training process.Experimental results show that the proposed method can resist 30% of poisoning attacks, and can achieve privacy protection with high model accuracy, and is suitable for edge computing scenarios that require high level of security and accuracy.…”
