Multiagent Reinforcement Learning-Based Taxi Predispatching Model to Balance Taxi Supply and Demand by Yongjian Yang, Xintao Wang, Yuanbo Xu, Qiuyang Huang

“…To solve this problem, we propose a Multiagent Reinforcement Learning- (MARL-) based taxi predispatching model through analyzing the running data of 13,000 taxis. Different from other methods of scheduling taxis based on the real-time location of orders, our model first predicts the demand for taxis in different regions in the next period and then dispatches taxis in advance to meet the future requirement; thus, the number of taxis needed and available in different regions can be balanced. …”

Universal patching method for side-channel vulnerabilities based on atomic obfuscation by Deqing ZOU, Pan ZHANG, Wei LIU, Weijie CHEN, Yifan LU

“…Executing code containing side-channel vulnerabilities exhibits different non-functional behaviors related to inputs.Attackers can obtain these behaviors by leveraging micro architecture side-channel attacks and then analyze the pattern between the behaviors and the inputs to access sensitive data.Vulnerability repairing at the software layer brings low overheads to a program’s execution.Besides, it does not require modifying hardware or system, which enables fast patching and widespread deployment.It becomes the mainstream strategy applied to the current cryptographic implementations.However, existing solutions are deeply bound to the program’s implementation and requires manual intervention.This brings challenge to implement and is not versatile enough.A general patching method was proposed for side-channel vulnerabilities that combined dynamic obfuscated execution with hardware atomic transaction.To hide the real accesses of the side-channel vulnerabilities of a program, the proposed method inserted dynamic confusing accesses into the vulnerabilities.To avoid an attacker using fine-grained side-channel attack to distinguish the real access and the confusing access, both of them were encapsulated as transactions and they were guaranteed to be uninterrupted during the running period.In addition, a prototype system called SC-Patcher was implemented based on the LLVM compiler.Various optimization strategies were supported, including secure springboard and transaction aggregation, to further improve system security and performance.Experimental results show that the proposed method makes it impossible for an attacker to restore accurate sensitive data through side-channel attack, and it also brings almost no additional performance overhead to the program.…”
