Attribute-based encryption scheme supporting attribute revocation in cloud storage environment by Lei SUN, Zhiyuan ZHAO, Jianhua WANG, Zhiqiang ZHU

“…Attribute-based encryption (ABE) scheme is widely used in the cloud storage due to its fine-grained access control.Each attribute in ABE may be shared by multiple users at the same time.Therefore,how to achieve attribute-level user revocation is currently facing an important challenge.Through research,it has been found that some attribute-level user revocation schemes currently can’t resist the collusion attack between the revoked user and the existing user.To solve this problem,an attribute-based encryption scheme that supported the immediate attribute revocation was proposed.The scheme could achieve attribute-level user revocation and could effectively resist collusion attacks between the revoked users and the existing users.At the same time,this scheme outsourced complex decryption calculations to cloud service providers with powerful computing ability,which reduced the computational burden of the data user.The scheme was proved secure based on computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the standard model.Finally,the functionality and efficiency of the proposed scheme were analyzed and verified.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can safely implement attribute-level user revocation and has the ability to quickly decrypt,which greatly improves the system efficiency.…”

Joint estimation of frequency and DOA with spatio-temporal under sampling by Xiang-dong HUANG, Hong-yu XIAN, Zi-yang YAN, Sen-xue JING

“…In order to estimate the frequency and DOA of an incident signal with sub-Nyquist spatio-temporal sampling,A novel joint estimation algorithm based on spectrum correction and Chinese remainder theorem(CRT)was proposed.Firstly,the incident signal was parallelly sampled at multiple sensors non-uniformly located in a sparse linear array.Then,AM spectrum corrector was employed to extract the rema of frequency and phase-difference from a small quantity of snapshots.Finally,implementing the close-form CRT on these remainders directly yields the estimates of frequency and DOA.In the proposed scheme,the spectrum corrector was shared by both the frequency estimator and the DOA es-timator,which contributed to a high utilization of the snapshots.Furthermore,compared to the existing CRT based esti-mators,the proposed estimator needs not to incorporate multiple times of temporal undersampling on a single sensor,which saves considerable time consumption and thus obtain high ability of tracking time-variant objects.Simulations verify the feasibility and the high-accuracy of the proposed joint estimator and further study shows that high reconstruc-tion probability can be realized even in low SNR cases,which present the vast potential for future development.…”
