Asymmetric watermarking based on Contourlet transform and subspace projection by HE Mi, CHENG Li-zhi

“…For the copyright protection of the digital image,a new asymmetric watermarking method of feature subspace projection based on Contourlet transform was presented.Embedding matrix（private key） and detecting matrix（public key） were constructed differently,where embedding matrix was kept secretly while detecting matrix was public.At the same time,the embedding matrix was independent on the host images.Robust subspace was obtained by Contourlet transformation.Using the embedding matrix,the arbitrary watermarking was embedded in the robust subspace.The de-tection function was constructed to detect whether an image had watermarking or not.The proposed method has good security,high detection probability and low false alarm probability.The stimulation shows that the proposed method is robust to many attacks.…”

A single flow detection enabled method for DDoS attacks in IoT based on traffic feature reconstruction and mapping by Lixia XIE, Bingdi YUAN, Hongyu YANG, Ze HU, Xiang CHENG, Liang ZHANG

“…To address the slow response time of existing detection modules to Internet of things (IoT) distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, their low feature differentiation, and poor detection performance, a single flow detection enabled method based on traffic feature reconstruction and mapping (SFDTFRM) was proposed.Firstly, SFDTFRM employed a queue to store previously arrived flow based on the first in, first out rule.Secondly, to address the issue of similarity between normal communication traffic of IoT devices and DDoS attack traffic, a multidimensional reconstruction neural network model more lightweight compared to the baseline model and a function mapping method were proposed.The modified model loss function was utilized to reconstruct the quantitative feature matrix of the queue according to the corresponding index, and transformed into a mapping feature matrix through the function mapping method, enhancing the differences between different types of traffic, including normal communication traffic of IoT devices and DDoS attack traffic.Finally, the frequency information was extracted using a text convolutional network and information entropy calculation and the machine learning classifier was employed for DDoS attack traffic detection.The experimental results on two benchmark datasets show that SFDTFRM can effectively detect different DDoS attacks, and the average metrics value of SFDTFRM is a maximum of 12.01% higher than other existing methods.…”
