New secure distributed secret sharing scheme of n product by Zhen-hua CHEN, Shun-dong LI, Bao-cang WANG, Ji-liang LI, Xin LIU

“…Since Shamir’s secret sharing scheme does not have the property of the multiplicative homomorphism，an encoding method is utilized for privacy-preserving data to overcome the drawbacks in secure distributed multiplication calculation when using traditional Shamir’s polynomial to share the product of n secrets.Using this encoding method with multiplicative homomorphism and a commitment scheme supporting additive homomorphism，a new secure distributed secret sharing scheme of n product in one session is implemented and the proposed scheme is secure under the presence of malicious participants.The analysis shows that proposed scheme is not only more simple and feasible but also more efficient than previous schemes.…”

Self-Healing Key-Distribution Scheme with Collusion Attack Resistance Based on One-Way Key Chains and Secret Sharing in Wireless Sensor Networks by Dong Jiao, Mingchu Li, Yan Yu, Jinping Ou

“…In wireless sensor networks, self-healing key-distribution schemes are used to ensure that, even if the message packets that are broadcast in some sessions get lost, the group nodes can still recover the lost session keys simply by using their personal secret keys and broadcast messages that have been received without requesting additional transmissions from the group manager. …”

Self-healing group key distribution scheme with revocation based on dual directional hash chain by DU Chun-lai1, HU Ming-zeng2, ZHANG Hong-li2, ZHANG Dong-yan2

“…A self-healing group key distribution scheme with revocation in MANET using dual directional hash chain was proposed.The association relation between different session keys was built.By means of broadcast information and own secrets,the legal nodes which lost some legal session keys due to network faults could be capable of recovering such lost session keys on their own,without requiring additional transmission from the group manager.The group manager could revoke the group nodes by revocation polynomial.Node was endowed with a set of masking secret according to its life-cycle.Through the security and efficiency analysis,the key distribution scheme reduces communication cost and storage cost yet still achieves security property.…”

Identity-based efficient authentication and key agreement protocol for mobile Internet by Zhen WANG, Zhao-feng MA, Shou-shan LUO

“…For the bad computation overhead of bi1inear pairings in e11iptic curve and the prob1ems of certificate management in the PKI，an efficient and secure authentication key agreement protoco1 was proposed based on the identity-based cryptosystem and GDH difficu1t prob1em on the additive group of e11iptic curve.Meanwhi1e，the security of the new protoco1 was proved under the random orac1e mode1.The ana1ysis shows that the new protoco1 meets security properties such as known session key security，perfect forward security，ephemera1 secret 1eakage resistance and the session key escrow resistance.The proposed protoco1 has the good computationa1 overhead for it was ab1e to comp1ete the mutua1 authentication and session key agreement between parties under on1y 5 times sca1ar mu1tip1ication.…”

Lightweight terminal cross-domain authentication protocol in edge computing environment by Hongying ZHU, Xinyou ZHANG, Huanlai XING, Li FENG

“…Edge computing has gained widespread usage in intelligent applications due to its benefits, including low latency, high bandwidth, and cost-effectiveness.However, it also faces many security challenges due to its distributed, real-time, multi-source and heterogeneous data characteristics.Identity authentication serves as the initial step for terminal to access to the network and acts as the first line of defense for edge computing.To address the security issues in the edge computing environment, a terminal cross-domain authentication protocol suitable for the edge computing environment was proposed based on the ＆quot;cloud-edge-end＆quot; three-level network authentication architecture.Access authentication was implemented between terminals and local edge nodes based on the SM9 algorithm, and session keys were negotiated.The secret key was combined with symmetric encryption technology and hash function to achieve cross-domain authentication for the terminal.The pseudonym mechanism was used in the authentication process to protect the privacy of end users.The terminal only needs to register once, and it can roam randomly between different security domains.BAN logic was used to prove the correctness of the protocol and analyze its security.The results show that this protocol is capable of resisting common attacks in IoT scenarios, and it features characteristics such as single sign-on and user anonymity.The performance of the cross-domain authentication protocol was evaluated based on computational and communication costs, and compared with existing schemes.The experimental results show that this protocol outperforms other schemes in terms of computational and communication costs, making it suitable for resource-constrained terminal devices.Overall, the proposed protocol offers lightweight and secure identity authentication within edge computing environments.…”
