Complex network clustering algorithm based on Jordan-form of Laplace-matrix by Jian-wei NIU, Bin DAI, Chao TONG, Guan-ying HUO, Jing PENG

“…Among existing clustering algorithms,the graph-Laplacian-based spectrum clustering algorithm has rigorous theoretical basis and high accuracy.However,the application of this algorithm is limited by its dependence on the prior knowledge,such as the number and the size of clusters.Based on the Jordan form of graph Laplacian,an algorithm was proposed which can obtain the prior knowledge,and perform the primary clustering based on the eigenvalues of the Jordan form.The modularity density function of clusters was defined,and an improved spectrum clustering algorithm with the help of the function and the primary clustering was proposed.The experiments were conducted on diverse datasets showing that,compared with the classic algorithms such as Fast-Newman and Girvan-Newman,the algorithm can reach a high clustering accuracy and a fast convergence rate.…”

An efficient spectrum sensing of mixed kernel SVM based on sampling covariance matrix by Jianyuan NIE, Jianrong BAO, Bin JIANG, Chao LIU, Fang ZHU, Jianhai HE

“…In recent years,with the blind detection algorithms were proposed,more and more blind algorithms based on sampling covariance matrix were applied to spectrum sensing.The detection threshold was an approximation,and the detection performance would be affected for this algorithms.Thus,the mixed kernel function support vector machine (SVM) efficient spectrum sensing based on sampling covariance matrix was proposed.The statistics which were maximum minimum eigenvalue (MME) and covariance absolute value (CAV) of sensing signal sampling covariance matrices were used as the feature vectors of SVM and were trained to generate a spectrum sensing classifier.The advantage of this algorithm was that it needn’t calculate the detection threshold and the extraction of features reduces size of the sample set.The genetic algorithm (GA) was used to optimize the parameters of mixed kernel function SVM algorithm.The experimental results show that the proposed method has higher detection probability than MME and CAV algorithms,and has less sensing time than SVM,which has good practicability.…”

Survey on key technologies of covert channel in ubiquitous network environment by Fenghua LI, Chaoyang LI, Chao GUO, Zifu LI, Liang FANG, Yunchuan GUO

“…In the ubiquitous network environment, covert channel bypasses the system’s security strategy to transmit covert information by modifying the system’s shared resources, which poses a serious security threat to the computer and network system.The researches on covert channel in ubiquitous network environment were summarized and analyzed from three aspects of measurement, construction and detection.First, the typical covert channel metrics including the capacity, robustness, anti-detection, regularity and shape were summarized.Second, the construction technologies of covert channel were summarized and analyzed from six aspects of resource sharing, capacity, robustness, anti-detection, advantages and disadvantages in the first time.Third, the detection technologies of covert channel were compared and analyzed from five aspects of the type of covert channel, accuracy, whether it can be blind detection, the advantages and disadvantages.Finally, the development trends of covert channel were summarized and future research directions were prospected.…”

Steganalysis of JPEG images using non-linear residuals by Chao XIA, Yaqi LIU, Qingxiao GUAN, Xin JIN, Yanshuo ZHANG, Shengwei XU

“…Most current JPEG steganalytic methods can only extract features from a series of linear residuals.Non-linear filters are not considered in these JPEG steganalytic methods, resulting in single types of residuals.Hence, a JPEG steganalytic method using non-linear residuals was proposed.Firstly, non-linear residuals were generated without a high computational cost by using element-wise minimum and maximum operations across a couple of linear residuals which had been obtained in the current JPEG steganalytic method.Secondly, according to the JPEG phase, the non-linear residual was divided into sub-residuals in which the histogram features were extracted.Thirdly, considering the minimum and maximum operators, the symmetrization method was accordingly designed.Finally, all the symmetrized histogram features were concatenated to form the final feature set.Experimental results indicate that the performance for JPEG steganalysis can be improved effectively by using both the linear and the non-linear residuals.…”
