Research on dynamic migration of virtual machine based on security level by Shuo ZHAO, Xin-sheng JI, Yu-xing MAO, Guo-zhen CHENG, Hong-chao HU

“…Side-channel attacks were the main ways of multi-tenant information leakage in the cloud computing and data center environments.The existing defense approaches based on dynamic migration of virtual machine have long convergence time of migration algorithm and high migration cost.Hence,a dynamic migration of virtual machine based on security level was proposed.Firstly,security level classification of virtual machines was used to reduce the number of migrating virtual machines.Then the corresponding virtual machines embedding strategy was used to reduce the frequency of virtual machines migration.Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach can reduce convergence time of migration algorithm and migration cost.…”

Two-way and anonymous heterogeneous signcryption scheme between PKI and IBC by Cai-fen WANG, Chao LIU, Ya-hong LI, Shu-fen NIU, Yu-lei ZHANG

“…Exiting heterogeneous signcryption schemes which were between public key infrastructure (PKI) and identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) have some limitations.A new heterogeneous signcryption scheme between PKI and IBC was proposed.In the random oracle mode,the scheme ensured confidentiality and unforgeability on the basis of the assumption of computational Diffie-Hellman problem (CDHP),q-Diffie-Hellman inversion problem (q-DHIP) and bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem (BDHP).Simultaneously,the proposed scheme guaranteed unconnectedness and anonymity of the ciphertext.Compared with other heterogeneous schemes,the scheme achieved two-way signcryption,and it generated parameters without restrict,which was suitable for actual situations.Simulation tests show that proposed scheme is feasible.…”
