The System was Blinking Red by Vivian B. Martin

“…Selective coding and the introduction of new concepts after analyzing hundreds of pages of documents issued by special commissions in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf, and the Sago Mine Disaster not only explain various processes around awareness in the midst of crisis, but also illuminate pre-crisis patterns that, if attended, could have mitigated the impact of the disasters. …”

Software-defined network packet forwarding verification scheme based on attribute-based signatures identification by Chaowen CHANG, Jianshu JIN, Peisheng HAN, Xianwei ZHU

“…Aiming at the lack of effective forwarding verification mechanism for packet in software defined network (SDN), a data packet forwarding verification scheme based on attributed-based signatures identification was proposed.First, the attribute signature identification was generated according to the user's identity attribute, and the data packet was marked by the attribute signature identification.Then, the P4 forwarding device was used to control accurately and sample the data packet.The controller verified the attribute signature of the sampled data packet.The OpenFlow forwarding device processes the abnormal data packets according to the flow table issued by the controller.Finally, a multi-controllers architecture was constructed to avoid the single point failure of the controller.The results of the experiment indicate that the scheme can achieve accurate control and sampling of data packet, effectively detect the forwarding abnormal behaviors such as packet tampering and forgery, and the network delay is within the range of feasible communication delay.…”

Privacy matching-based service proxy discovery scheme by Kui GENG, Sheng WAN, Feng-hua LI, Yuan-yuan HE, Han-yi WANG

“…According to user's requirements on the proxy performance,cost and safety in proxy discovery,and the pri-vacy-preserving issue during the process of the demand private matching,a new private matching algorithm was pre-sented based on Paillier homomorphic encryption,comprehensively considered the attributes of user and agents and their priority.It included four steps:building the similarity function based on Euclidean distance,carrying on the private matching by encryption algorithm,calculating the similarity and screening the proxy chain.Proposed scheme introduced semi trusted primary proxy from the global level,which is to manage all the sub proxy's business type and the connection status,and do the main computational overhead.At the same time,Euclidean distance and Paillier homomorphic encryp-tion algorithm were combined to support the multivariate attributes with priority to match,which can effectively protect the privacy of user and sub proxy.Finally,security analysis and evaluation results show the effectiveness and safety of proposed scheme.…”
