Analysis of software defined security model and architecture by Chunmei GUO, Jun MA, Hao GUO, Xueyao BI, Ruhui ZHANG, Shaomin ZHU, Congyi YANG

“…Currently,most enterprises have deployed information security defense system based on policy access control.With cloud computing environment deployment and network attacking technology development,security has been regarded as one of the greatest problems in the cloud computing environment.The advanced persistent attacks including of bypassing the traditional firewall easily,breaking through the black and white list and feature matching of the security defense mechanism have included to the traditional security system new challenges.The problem in the traditional tightly coupled security defense system of combining the virtual with the true for construction of network environments was described,and a software defined security model and framework was provided.The decoupling scheme of access patterns and deployment position in combining the virtual with the true for construction of network environments was realized,which provided a beneficial exploration in the field of the adaptive active safety for enterprise cloud computing environment.…”

A method of planning and designing transmission networks for government and enterprises based on a rectangle-like distribution model combined with heat maps by Shuchong NAN, Cheng CHEN, Xunbiao LIAN, Han WANG

“…The circuit direction and service access point of the special line service for government enterprise group customers are decided by the customers themselves, and the service opening is extremely unpredictable.In order to effectively solve the problems of strong subjectivity, difficult adjustment, long cycle and low efficiency in the service opening of government and enterprise customers, a typical simulation environment and a quasi rectangular distribution model was built, and two deployment strategies combined with the thermal map were proposed.The simulation analysis shows that under the same conditions, the number of VC-OTN (VC cross connecting function with optical transport network) points meeting the coverage requirements decreases with the increase of the maximum access distance, the client point coverage increases with the increase of the deployed VC-OTN points, and the deployment benefit of strategy 2 (group coverage by maturity) is higher than that of strategy 1 (priority coverage of hot spots).When the coverage requirements are met, the number of VC points required by the theoretical minimum, strategy 1 and strategy 2 are 26, 58 and 50, respectively.This method provides reliable theoretical guidance for the accurate and rapid construction of network system, avoids blind deployment, improves the accuracy of deployment planning, and provides construction reference ideas for the subsequent construction of urban VC-OTN nodes.…”

ContractGuard:defend Ethereum smart contract with embedded intrusion detection by Gansen ZHAO, Zhijian XIE, Xinming WANG, Jiahao HE, Chengzhi ZHANG, Chengchuang LIN, ZHOU Ziheng, Bingchuan CHEN, RONG Chunming

“…Ethereum smart contracts are programs that can be collectively executed by a network of mutually untrusted nodes.Smart contracts handle and transfer assets of values,offering strong incentives for malicious attacks.Intrusion attacks are a popular type of malicious attacks.ContractGuard,the first intrusion detection system (IDS) was proposed to defend Ethereum smart contracts against such attacks.Like IDSs for conventional programs,ContractGuard detects intrusion attempts as abnormal control flow.However,existing IDS techniques or tools are inapplicable to Ethereum smart contracts due to Ethereum’s decentralized nature and its highly restrictive execution environment.To address these issues,ContractGuard was designed by embedding it in the contracts.At runtime,ContractGuard protects the smart contract by monitoring the context-tagged acyclic path of the smart contract.As ContractGuard involves deployment overhead and deployment overhead.It was optimized under the Ethereum Gas-oriented performance model to reduce the overheads.The experimental results show that this work can effectively detect 83% of vulnerabilities,ContractGuard only adds to 36.14% of the deployment overhead and 28.27% of the runtime overhead.…”

Cost optimization model for multi-cloud network based on Kubernetes by Ming GAO, Ming LIU, Yangting CHEN, Weiming WANG

“…The cloud-native scheduling system, represented by Kubernetes, is widely used by cloud tenants in a multi-cloud environment.The problem of network observation becomes more and more serious, especially the cost of network traffic across cloud and region.In Kubernetes, the eBPF technology was introduced to collect the network data features of kernel state of operating system to solve the network observation problem, and then the network data features were modeled as QAP, a combination of heuristic and stochastic optimization was used to obtain the best near optimal solution in a real-time computing scenario.This model is superior to the Kubernetes native scheduler in the cost optimization of network resources, which is based on the scheduling strategy of computing resources only, and increases the complexity of scheduling links in a controllable range, effectively reduces the cost of network resources in a multi-cloud area deployment environment.…”
