Comprehensive trust evaluation model in social networks by Xian-jia MENG, Jian-feng MA, Di LU, Yi-chuan WANG

“…A method was proposed to evaluate the user's attitude from the interaction experience and deduce the user's behavior pattern by employing the interactive time series.Further,a new trust evaluation model was constructed by con-sidering the following features:the user's attitude,the interaction experience and the behavior pattern.The experiment results show that the presented model can be adapted to dynamic and complex social networks,and can efficiently quan-tify the influence on the trust of three kinds of information,and enhance the availability and accuracy of direct trust evaluation model in social networks.…”

Design and performance analysis of a SDN-based intelligent and collaborative Honeynet for mobile networks environment by Liyue CHEN, Yangdan NI, Xiaoyun KONG, Sheng ZHOU, Hui HUANG, Xing ZHENG

“…In the mobile network environment,the mobile honeypot resources are limited and the attack injection means are flexible,so it is necessary to dynamically deploy the honeynet to collaboratively detect the attack behavior characteristics.However,existing honey nets are susceptible to feature recognition attacks,malicious traffic within the network,and can’t be migrated across honeypots.Based on software defined networking (SDN) technology,an intelligent collaborative honeynet system (ic-Honeynet) was designed.It consisted of a reverse connection proxy module and a honeynet controller.Finally,an ic-Honeynet experimental environment was built and the effectiveness of the system was verified.The experimental results show that the throughput of the system is nearly linear,up to 8.23 Gbit/s; the additional increase in response delay is small,only in the range of 0.5 to 1.2 ms; the connection processing capability is also very strong,up to 1 473 connections/s.…”
