Distributed anonymous authentication scheme based on the blockchain in VANET by Xia FENG, Kaiping CUI, Qingqing XIE, Liangmin WANG

“…Identity authentication is the first line of defense against malicious vehicles spreading false traffic information.However, due to the limited network bandwidth and computing power in the vehicle ad-hoc network (VANET), the existing schemes cannot meet the requirements of efficient authentication, nor can achieve fast and anonymous traceability of malicious vehicles.In view of this, a distributed anonymous authentication scheme based on the blockchain was proposed.The zero-knowledge proof was used to quickly and anonymously authenticate the identity of vehicles in VANET, and the pairing-free-based aggregating signature was used to provide fast batch verification, effectively reducing the computational burden generated during the authentication process.In addition, the regional trusted authority (RTA) could realize the anonymous traceability of malicious vehicle identities, and quickly revoke their identities by using the block chain.It could also update the short-term anonymous identities of vehicles based on local keys in time to ensure that vehicles anonymity and freshness of signatures.Security analysis and simulation show that the proposed scheme can satisfy various security requirements such as anonymity and unlinkability, and can effectively reduce computing and communication overhead, which is at least 27.28% higher in performance than similar schemes.…”

Research on anonymous identity authentication technology in Fabric by Yueyang YE, Xinglan ZHANG

“…Solving the privacy problem of users in the consortium blockchain becomes the key to accelerate the implementation of the practical application of blockchain.A set of anonymous identity authentication scheme based on PKI is designed based on Hyperledger Fabric platform, a typical representative of the consortium blockchain.By splitting the private key d into two parts, different roles use each private key to generate the joint signature of the anonymous certificate to achieve the separation of permissions in the process of certificate generation and solve the single point attack problem in the process of anonymous certificate tracking.The analysis shows that the improved scheme can achieve higher security than the original scheme with lower computing and storage overhead.…”

COM-MABs: From Users' Feedback to Recommendation by Alexandre Letard, Tassadit Amghar, Olivier Camp, Nicolas Gutowski

“…On the study of those strategies, this paper present three contributions: 1) We model a feedback strategy as a three-step process, where each step influences the performances of an agent ; 2) Based on this model, we propose a novel Reward Computing process, BUSBC, which significantly increases the global accuracy reached by optimistic COM-MAB algorithms -- up to 16.2\% -- ; 3) We conduct an empirical analysis of our approach and several feedback strategies from the literature on three real-world application datasets, confirming our propositions.…”

Survey of video behavior recognition by Huilan LUO, Chanjuan WANG, Fei LU

“…Behavior recognition is developing rapidly,and a number of behavior recognition algorithms based on deep network automatic learning features have been proposed.The deep learning method requires a large number of data to train,and requires higher computer storage and computing power.After a brief review of the current popular behavior recognition method based on deep network,it focused on the traditional behavior recognition methods.Traditional behavior recognition methods usually followed the processes of video feature extraction,modeling of features and classification.Following the basic process,the recognition process was overviewed according to the following steps,feature sampling,feature descriptors,feature processing,descriptor aggregation and vector coding.At the same time,the benchmark data set commonly used for evaluating the algorithm performance was also summarized.…”
