Research on inter-blockchain service framework and communication mechanism based on smart service transaction by Bohan KANG, Ning ZHANG, Jianming ZHU

“…Due to the lack of communication mechanism between inter-blockchain services, it is difficult to formulate effective interconnection between different blockchain.Under the smart services ecosystem, two parties of the transaction not only execute the single transaction of data assets, but also extend the scope of their services to cover a wider range of digital assets transfer scenarios.An inter-blockchain communication(IBC) framework for smart service transaction is designed.With component-based and modular design, it makes flexible for the subject and object application of smart service transaction to access IBC framework and thus promote inter-blockchain scalability.Finally, a three-phrase inter-blockchain communication protocol for smart service transaction is proposed to ensure the atomicity and consistency of inter-blockchain ecosystem.…”

Research on deception defense techniques based on network characteristics obfuscation by Jinlong ZHAO, Guomin ZHANG, Changyou XING

“…There is usually a reconnaissance stage before a network attack, the attacker obtains the key information of the target system through techniques such as traffic analysis and active scanning, to formulate a targeted network attack.Deception defense techniques based on network characteristics obfuscation is an effective strategy to confront network reconnaissance, which makes the attacker launch an ineffective attack by thwarting the attacker's reconnaissance stage.The technical principle of the existing obfuscation defense solutions was analyzed, the formal definition of network obfuscation was given, the existing research works were discussed from three aspects, and finally the development trend of the obfuscation deception defense technique were analyzed.…”
