Cloud storage scheme based on closed-box encryption by Rui-zhong DU, Shao-xuan WANG, Jun-feng TIAN

“…Aiming at protecting the confidentiality of data for cloud storage users,a scheme that encrypt data in cloud service providers was presented.The scheme constructed a closed-box computing environment by virtual machine isolation technique,improved algorithm of RSA to change keys without having to produce large prime numbers,transfer data and keys through SSL and encrypted data in the closed computing environment before storing to the distributed file system.Closed-box computing environment can prevent attacks from cloud administrators and malicious applications in the operating system.It also can guard against data leakage effectively.The result of experiment shows that the confidentiality of data improved and the performance loss is decreased considering to other cloud storage scheme that encrypt data in cloud.…”

Multi-user collaborative access control scheme in cloud storage by li SHIJiao, he HUANGChuan, Jing WANG, yu QINKuang, Kai HE

“…However, it was just fit for reading or modifying different data files respectively. When CP-ABE was applied directly to data access collaborative control by multiple users, there would be such problems as data being modified disorderly.When multiple users access collaboratively the data stored on the cloud, legitimate users should modify the same ciphertext file orderly on the premise of confidentiality and collusion-resistance and the copies of ciphertext file should be generated as few as possible. …”

Method of privacy protection based on multiple edge servers in personalized search by Qiang ZHANG, Guojun WANG, Shaobo ZHANG

“…In the plaintext environment,users' personalized search results can be obtained through users' interest model and query keywords.However,it may possibly result in the disclosure of sensitive data and privacy,which prevents using sensitive data in cloud search.Therefore,data is generally stored in the form of ciphertext in the cloud server.In the process of cloud search service,users intend to quickly obtain the desired search results from the vast amount of ciphertext.In order to solve the problem,it was proposed that a method of privacy protection based on multiple edge servers in personalized search shall be used.By introducing multiple edge servers and cutting the index as well as the query matrix,the computing relevance scores of partial query and partial file index are achieved on the edge server.The cloud server only needs to get the relevance score on the edge server and make a simple processing that can return to the most relevant Top K files by user query,so as to make it particularly suitable for a large number of users in the massive personalized ciphertext search.Security analysis and experimental results show that this method can effectively protect users’ privacy and data confidentiality.In addition,it can guarantee high efficiency in search to provide better personalized search experience.…”

Electronic invoice public verification scheme based on SM2 coalition signature algorithm by Yurong LUO, Jin CAO, Hui LI, Xingwen ZHAO, Chao SHANG

“…In order to solve the current problems of electronic invoices, such as anti-counterfeiting, privacy leakage and low verification efficiency, an electronic invoice public verification architecture based on the national signature algorithm was proposed.Electronic invoice documents have complex data sources, sensitive user information on the ticket surface, frequent data flow and other characteristics as well as the demand for efficient public verification.Based on these motivations, the e-invoice generation and verification protocol was designed.Besides, a signature code generation scheme for invoice anti-counterfeiting was proposed based on certificate-free joint signature.Then multiple data verification and signatures of the invoicing party and the taxation authority can be realized.All kinds of invoice holders can not only verify the authenticity and data integrity of electronic invoices, but also publicly check the authenticity and data integrity of electronic invoices.The integration of data encryption algorithms protects user privacy data in electronic invoices, and at the same time can fulfill the requirements for authenticity or status verification under various invoice application scenarios.The checking party only needs to verify one signature to confirm the authenticity of the electronic invoice signed by both parties.Scyther security simulation tools were used to analyze the security of the proposed solution, which can verify the integrity and authenticity of the data source and check the confidentiality of the privacy data under various types of attacks.Compared with a typical overseas e-invoice checking scheme and a similar digital signature-based e-invoice checking scheme, the proposed scheme has obvious advantages in terms of checking efficiency and invoice file size.…”

Hardcoded vulnerability detection approach for IoT device firmware by Chao MU, Xin WANG, Ming YANG, Heng ZHANG, Zhenya CHEN, Xiaoming WU

“…With the popularization of IoT devices, more and more valuable data is generated.Analyzing and mining big data based on IoT devices has become a hot topic in the academic and industrial circles in recent years.However, due to the lack of necessary detection and protection methods, many IoT devices have serious information security risks.In particular, device hard-coded information is closely related to system encryption and decryption, identity authentication and other functions, which can provide confidentiality protection for core data.Once this information is exploited by malicious attackers, serious consequences such as sensitive information leakage, backdoor attacks, and unauthorized logins will occur.In response to this problem, a multi-type character recognition and positioning scheme was designed and a hard-coded vulnerability detection method in executable files was proposed based on the study of the characteristics of hard-coded vulnerabilities in IoT devices.The proposed method extracted the firmware of IoT devices and filtered all executable files as the source to be analyzed.Then, a solution to identify and locate three types of hard-coded characters was provided.Further, the reachability of the function, where the hard-coded character was located, was analyzed according to the function call relationship.Meanwhile, the instruction heterogeneity was mitigated by an intermediate representation (IR) model.The character and parameter hard-coded values was obtained through a data flow analysis approach.A symbolic execution method was devised to determine the trigger conditions of the hard-coded vulnerabilities, and then the vulnerability detection result was output.On the one hand, the proposed method introduced the method of symbolic execution based on the use of the intermediate representation model, which eliminated the dependency of instruction architecture and reduces the false positive rate of vulnerabilities; On the other hand, this method can integrate characters, files, and cryptographic implementation to realize the different characteristics of three types of hard-coded characters, which increased the coverage of vulnerability detection and improves the versatility of the detection method.The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect three types of hard-coded vulnerabilities of characters, files and cryptographic implementation in various IoT devices, and has good detection accuracy, which can provide certain guidance for the deployment of subsequent security protection technologies.…”
