CCA-secure verifiable Mix-Net protocol by Long-hai LI, Cheng-qiang HUANG, Shang-mei XU, Shao-feng FU

“…A CCA-secure verifiable Mix-Net protocol with provable security was proposed.The protocol was based on Wikström’s Mix-Net and improves its security by introducing an improved key generation algorithm and a new method for constructing proof of secret shuffling.Without revealing the correspondence between inputs and outputs,proposed protocol enables everyone to verify the correctness of output plaintexts through checking evidences broadcasted by each server.Thus,it satisfies public verifiability.Any sender can trace and examine the processing procedure of its ciphertext.Thus,proposed protocol satisfies sender verifiability.It is prored to be CCA-secure under the assumption of random oracle.Compared with previous mix-net schemes which are CCA-secure,proposed protocol does not require any trusted center,and incurs fewer interactions between servers which also resulting in a lower computation and communication complexity.Hence,the protocol is an ideal cryptographic tool for constructing secure electronic election protocol.…”

Net traffic identifier based on hierarchical clustering by Wei DING, Jie XU, Weng-hui ZHUO

“…An improved net traffic identifier algorithm was proposed based on semi-supervised clustering.Symmetrical uncertainty was used to reduce the net flow attributes,and then kernel function was used to project the rest attributes to higher dimentional space.The train net flow was clustered in high dimentional space hierarchically.Smooth factor,sihouette coefficient and entropy controlled the cluster process to get a well result.Experiments show that the algorithm got flat clusters without any huge cluster and could identify most net flow even encrypted ones.…”

Measurement of Seed Cotton Color Using RGB Imaging and Color-Unet by Hao Li, Qingxu Li, Wanhuai Zhou, Ruoyu Zhang, Shicheng Hong, Mengyun Zhang, Zhiqiang Zhai

“…First, a color detection system utilizing machine vision technology was developed to capture seed cotton images. Next, a Color-Unet model, incorporating convolutional block attention and improved inception E modules based on Unet, was applied to effectively remove impurities and shadows from the images, resolving the over-segmentation issue commonly encountered in traditional threshold segmentation. …”

DWNet: Dual-Window Deep Neural Network for Time Series Prediction by Jin Fan, Yipan Huang, Ke Zhang, Sen Wang, Jinhua Chen, Baiping Chen

“…However, the Encoder-Decoder network has the problem that the longer the length of the sequence is, the worse the prediction accuracy is, which means that the Encoder-Decoder network cannot process long series and therefore cannot obtain detailed historical information. In this paper, we propose a dual-window deep neural network (DWNet) to predict time series. …”

R-Net grid monitoring and alarming system design by YAO Yuan-zhe1, DU Cui-lan2, LIU Xin-ran2, HE Miao3, WANG Zi-juan3, ZHANG Lu-wei1

“…By introducing the concepts,requirements,related standards and work of grid monitoring,some actual monitoring systems were analyzed;expounded the monitoring requirements and their relations,found some problems and deficiencies in grid monitoring.Based on the R-Net grid computing test platform,RNMS（R-Net monitoring system） used some technology such as adaptive sensor control,on-demand measurement,distributed directory service,node group management,mixed data format,which improved the interoperability and scalability,reduced the intrusiveness.Based on the RNMS,an alarming system was designed without more modifying.It shows the RNMS has a good scalability.…”
