| 1. | An Authenticated Trust and Reputation Calculation and Management System for Cloud and Sensor Networks Integration | Induced by incorporating the powerful data storage and data processing abilities of cloud computing (CC) as well as ubiquitous data gathering capability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), CC-WSN integration received a lot of attention from both academia and industry. However, authentication as well as trust and reputation calculation and management of cloud service providers (CSPs) and sensor network providers (SNPs) are two very critical and barely explored issues for this new paradigm. To fill the gap, this paper proposes a novel authenticated trust and reputation calculation and management (ATRCM) system for CC-WSN integration. Considering the authenticity of CSP and SNP, the attribute requirement of cloud service user (CSU) and CSP, the cost, trust, and reputation of the service of CSP and SNP, the proposed ATRCM system achieves the following three functions: 1) authenticating CSP and SNP to avoid malicious impersonation attacks; 2) calculating and managing trust and reputation regarding the service of CSP and SNP; and 3) helping CSU choose desirable CSP and assisting CSP in selecting appropriate SNP. Detailed analysis and design as well as further functionality evaluation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of ATRCM, followed with system security analysis. | 2015 |
| 2. | Secure Binary Image Steganography Based on Minimizing the Distortion on the Texture | Most state-of-the-art binary image steganographic techniques only consider the flipping distortion according to the human visual system, which will be not secure when they are attacked by steganalyzers. In this paper, a binary image steganographic scheme that aims to minimize the embedding distortion on the texture is presented. We extract the complement, rotation, and mirroring-invariant local texture patterns (crmiLTPs) from the binary image first. The weighted sum of crmiLTP changes when flipping one pixel is then employed to measure the flipping distortion corresponding to that pixel. By testing on both simple binary images and the constructed image data set, we show that the proposed measurement can well describe the distortions on both visual quality and statistics. Based on the proposed measurement, a practical steganographic scheme is developed. The steganographic scheme generates the cover vector by dividing the scrambled image into superpixels. Thereafter, the syndrome-trellis code is employed to minimize the designed embedding distortion. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed steganographic scheme can achieve statistical security without degrading the image quality or the embedding capacity. | 2015 |
| 3. | Control Cloud Data Access Privilege and Anonymity with Fully Anonymous Attribute-Based Encryption | Cloud computing is a revolutionary computing paradigm, which enables flexible, on-demand, and low-cost usage of computing resources, but the data is outsourced to some cloud servers, and various privacy concerns emerge from it. Various schemes based on the attribute-based encryption have been proposed to secure the cloud storage. However, most work focuses on the data contents privacy and the access control, while less attention is paid to the privilege control and the identity privacy. In this paper, we present a semianonymous privilege control scheme AnonyControl to address not only the data privacy, but also the user identity privacy in existing access control schemes. AnonyControl decentralizes the central authority to limit the identity leakage and thus achieves semianonymity. Besides, it also generalizes the file access control to the privilege control, by which privileges of all operations on the cloud data can be managed in a fine-grained manner. Subsequently, we present the AnonyControl-F, which fully prevents the identity leakage and achieve the full anonymity. Our security analysis shows that both AnonyControl and AnonyControl-F are secure under the decisional bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption, and our performance evaluation exhibits the feasibility of our schemes. | 2015 |
