Carrier-independent deep optical watermarking algorithm by Hao CHEN, Feng WANG, Weiming ZHANG, Nenghai YU

“….), so that the carrier carries the identification information but does not affect the normal use of the carrier.The common digital watermark embedding scheme is to embed the watermark information by modifying the carrier via specific algorithms.In the actual application scenarios, there are many images or objects to be protected (such as art paintings, etc.) that are not allowed to be modified.Based on this background, a new carrier-independent deep optical watermarking algorithm was proposed, which can realize watermark information embedding without modifying the original carrier and achieve the purpose of copyright protection.Specifically, a new watermark template expression scheme at the embedding end was proposed, which expressed the watermark information by visible light modulation.By analyzing the visual system of human eyes, a watermark template pattern based on alternating projection was proposed to embed the watermark information, which made the embedding process neither require modification of the original carrier nor affect the visual senses of human eyes.At the extraction end, a watermark extraction network based on residual connection was designed, and the captured watermarked images were fed into this network after perspective transformation to extract the watermark information.The experiments were conducted under various conditions and comparisons with three baseline algorithms were made.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm generates watermarked images with less visual distortion and is robust to the ＆quot;projecting-shooting＆quot; process.The watermark extraction network has high accuracy in extracting watermark information at different distances, angles and illumination conditions, and has certain advantages over other general networks.…”

Data recommendation algorithm of network security event based on knowledge graph by Xianwei ZHU, Wei LIU, Zihao LIU, Zeyu GU

“…To address the difficulty faced by network security operation and maintenance personnel in timely and accurate identification of required data during network security event analysis, a recommendation algorithm based on a knowledge graph for network security events was proposed.The algorithm utilized the network threat framework ATT＆amp;CK to construct an ontology model and establish a network threat knowledge graph based on this model.It extracted relevant security data such as attack techniques, vulnerabilities, and defense measures into interconnected security knowledge within the knowledge graph.Entity data was extracted based on the knowledge graph, and entity vectors were obtained using the TransH algorithm.These entity vectors were then used to calculate data similarity between entities in network threat data.Disposal behaviors were extracted from literature on network security event handling and treated as network security data entities.A disposal behavior matrix was constructed, and the behavior matrix enabled the vector representation of network threat data.The similarity of network threat data entities was calculated based on disposal behaviors.Finally, the similarity between network threat data and threat data under network security event handling behavior was fused to generate a data recommendation list for network security events, which established correlations between network threat domains based on user behavior.Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm performs optimally when the fusion weight α=7 and the recommended data volume K=5, achieving a recall rate of 62.37% and an accuracy rate of 68.23%.By incorporating disposition behavior similarity in addition to data similarity, the algorithm better represents factual disposition behavior.Compared to other algorithms, this algorithm exhibits significant advantages in recall rate and accuracy, particularly when the recommended data volume is less than 10.…”
