Credible distributed identity authentication system of microgrid based on blockchain by Guanqun YANG, Yin LIU, Hao XU, Hongwei XING, Jianhui ZHANG, Entang LI

“…Most of the blockchain-based identity authentication systems are based on public blockchain, which are still essentially traditional centralized identity management and verification methods, making it difficult to meet the needs of trusted access and fine-grained access control in microgrids.Therefore, based on the FISCO BCOS consortium blockchain technology, a distributed identity authentication system supporting multi-center was designed.A DID-based identity management protocol to achieve autonomous control of user identity in a practical scenarios was designed.Distributed trusted access technology for end nodes in microgrids was studied, and privacy-protecting credentials based on zero-knowledge proof were designed.This scheme meets the requirements of trustworthy and verifiable user identity in different privacy security scenarios, and achieves autonomous control of entity identity, fine-grained access control and trusted data exchange.The usability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated through system experiments and performance analysis.…”

Network moving target defense technique based on optimal forwarding path migration by Cheng LEI, Duo-he MA, Hong-qi ZHANG, Qi HAN, Ying-jie YANG

“…Moving target defense is a revolutionary technology which changes the situation of attack and defense.How to effectively achieve forwarding path mutation is one of the hotspot in this field.Since existing mechanisms are blindness and lack of constraints in the process of mutation,it is hard to maximize mutation defense benefit under the condition of good network quality of services.A novel of network moving target defense technique based on optimal forwarding path migration was proposed.Satisfiability modulo theory was adopted to formally describe the mutation constraints,so as to prevent transient problem.Optimization combination between routing path and mutation period was chosen by using optimal routing path generation method based on security capacity matrix so as to maximum defense benefit.Theoretical and experimental analysis show the defense cost and benefit in resisting passive sniffing attacks.The capability of achieving maximum defense benefit under the condition of ensuring network quality of service is proved.…”

Immunomodulation by Gut Microbiota: Role of Toll-Like Receptor Expressed by T Cells by Mariagrazia Valentini, Alessia Piermattei, Gabriele Di Sante, Giuseppe Migliara, Giovanni Delogu, Francesco Ria

“…In fact the immune system plays an essential role in maintaining the homeostasis with the microbiota that normally resides in the gut, while, at the same time, the gut microbiota influences the immune system, modulating number and function of effector and regulatory T cells. To achieve this aim, mutual regulation between immune system and microbiota is achieved through several mechanisms, including the engagement of toll-like receptors (TLRs), pathogen-specific receptors expressed on numerous cell types. …”

Performance analysis of packet cooperative relaying system and the effect of packet length on performance by Shao-yang LIU, Yong XI, Ying LI, Ji-bo WEI, LISTERBurr A

“…The packet error rate(PER)of the packet cooperative relay system for both(amplify-and-forward)and DF(decode-and-forward)schemes in the high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)region was analyzed,and the effect of packet length on PER performance was studied.It is shown that both AF and DF achieve the same diversity gain in terms of PER,but with different coding gains depending on packet length.Different from the prior research,if considering prac-tical packet lengths,the DF scheme always achieves better performance than the AF scheme,with shorter packet length,the advantage of DF over AF is more obvious.For large enough packet length,AF performance approaches that of DF.It is also found that the optimal relay will always be located in the middle of the two nodes for AF regardless of packet length,while for DF,when packet length becomes large,the optimal relay moves from close to the source towards the midpoint.…”
