Dual-architecture Internet supporting intelligent governance of cyber content by 杨鹏, 李幼平

“…For the current Internet architecture is suffering many challenges of cyber content governance,including big data trends of cyber contents,lack of semantic identification,and the severe situation of content security.In seeking to address these challenges,a dual-architecture Internet which integrated the current Internet architecture with a complementary secondary broadcast-storage network architecture characterized as the combination of broadcast transmission and ubiquitous storage was proposed.The design principles and core concepts of the dual-architecture Internet and its intelligent realization mechanism of cyber content governance were introduced,and especially,the national standard of uniform content label (UCL) and UCL-based rich semantic vector coding of contents,the gathering of popular contents the UCL-oriented security energy level model,the UCL knowledge space and content clustering hall for workshop of meta-synthetic engineering were detailed.Consequently,a prototype of dual-architecture Internet supporting intelligent governance of cyber contents was developed to verify the design principles and core concepts of the dual-architecture Internet and its capability for intelligent governance of cyber contents.The dual-architecture Internet proposed can provide a brand-new approach to solve the problem of cyber content governance from the high-level perspective of network architecture.…”

Research on mimic decision method based on deep learning by Xiaohan YANG, Guozhen CHENG, Wenyan LIU, Shuai ZHANG, Bing HAO

“…Due to software and hardware differentiation, the problem of false positives mistakenly identified as network attack behavior caused by inconsistent mimic decision results frequently occurs.Therefore, a mimic decision method based on deep learning was proposed.By constructing an unsupervised autoencoder-decoder deep learning model, the deep semantic features of diverse normal response data were explored from different executions and its statistical rules were analyzed and summarized.Additionally, the offline learning-online decision-making mechanism and the feedback optimization mechanism were designed to solve false positive problem, thereby accurately detecting network attacks and improving target system security resilience.Since statistical rules of normal response data was understood and mastered by deep learning model, the mimic decision results among different executions could remain consistent, indicating that the target system was in a secure state.However, once the target system was subjected to a network attacks, the response data outputted by the different executions was deviated from statistical distribution of deep learning model.Therefore, inconsistent mimic decision results were presented, indicating that the affected execution was under attack and the target system was exposed to potential security threats.The experiments show that the performance of the proposed method is significantly superior to the popular mimic decision methods, and the average prediction accuracy is improved by 14.89%, which is conducive to integrating the method into the mimic transformation of real application to enhance the system’s defensive capability.…”
