Covert communication method of blockchain network based on transaction construction and forwarding mechanism by Lizhi XIONG, Rong ZHU, Zhangjie FU

“…Aiming at the problems of multiple copies and permanent storage of the transactions containing secret information in the existing storage-based covert communication schemes in blockchain network, as well as the issue of low hidden capacity of the existing time-based schemes, a covert communication method of blockchain network based on transaction construction and forwarding mechanism was proposed.First, an invalid transaction was created by the sender with the help of the transaction construction mechanism, and the secret information was embedded in it, and then the transaction forwarding mechanism was used to send the invalid transaction to the neighbor nodes to form a covert communication channel model, enabling that the transactions containing secret information were spread between nodes and did not exist in the blockchain ledger, so as to achieve the purpose of information concealment and safe transmission.Experimental results show that the transmission capacity of the proposed method is higher than that of the existing schemes, and the single communication time is reduced to 2.5 s.…”

Dynamic adaptive trust evaluation model based on interaction-aware by Feng LI, Li-min SHEN, Ya-li SI, Jing-chun NIU

“…A dynamic adaptive trust evaluation model was established based on interaction-aware.The historical interaction window and trustworthy recommendation number was introduced in overall trust evaluation method,which overcomes the shortage of traditional models that lack the capacity to interaction-aware.The direct trust accumulation method based on interaction satisfaction degree iterative calculation was proposed,which achieved the incentive and penalty iterative strategy based on entity stability factor,and effectively inhibits malicious entities with camouflage.A synthetical recommendation trust aggregating method based on combination of direct and indirect recommendation trust was given,which solved the accuracy low and unreliable problems of traditional recommendation methods by introducing entity familiarity factor and scoring similarity factor.Simulation results show that,compared to the existing trust model,the model can effectively improve the accuracy of trust evaluation,and can provide a better capacity of resisting collusive entities.…”

Internet traffic classification using SVM with flexible feature space by Yaguan QIAN, Xiaohui GUAN, Bensheng YUN, Qiong LOU, Pengfei MA

“…SVM is a typical machine learning algorithm with prefect generalization capacity,which is suitable for the internet traffic classification.At present,there are two approaches,One-Against-All and One-Against-One,proposed for extending SVM to multi-class problem like traffic classification.However,these approaches are both based on a unique feature space.In fact,the separating capacity of a special traffic feature is not similar to different applications.Hence,flexible feature space for extending SVM was proposed,which constructs independent feature space with optimal discriminability for each binary-SVM and trains them under their own feature space.Finally,these trained binary-SVM were ensemble by One-Against-All and One-Against-One approaches.The experiments show that the proposed approach can efficiently improve the precision and callback of the traffic classifier and easily obtain more reasonable optimal separating hyper-plane.…”
