Elevated few-shot network intrusion detection via self-attention mechanisms and iterative refinement. by Congyuan Xu, Yong Zhan, Guanghui Chen, Zhiqiang Wang, Siqing Liu, Weichen Hu

“…However, traditional NIDS relies on a large volume of samples for training, which exhibits insufficient adaptability in rapidly changing network environments and complex attack methods, especially when facing novel and rare attacks. As attack strategies evolve, there is often a lack of sufficient samples to train models, making it difficult for traditional methods to respond quickly and effectively to new threats. …”

Lightweight terminal cross-domain authentication protocol in edge computing environment by Hongying ZHU, Xinyou ZHANG, Huanlai XING, Li FENG

“…Edge computing has gained widespread usage in intelligent applications due to its benefits, including low latency, high bandwidth, and cost-effectiveness.However, it also faces many security challenges due to its distributed, real-time, multi-source and heterogeneous data characteristics.Identity authentication serves as the initial step for terminal to access to the network and acts as the first line of defense for edge computing.To address the security issues in the edge computing environment, a terminal cross-domain authentication protocol suitable for the edge computing environment was proposed based on the ＆quot;cloud-edge-end＆quot; three-level network authentication architecture.Access authentication was implemented between terminals and local edge nodes based on the SM9 algorithm, and session keys were negotiated.The secret key was combined with symmetric encryption technology and hash function to achieve cross-domain authentication for the terminal.The pseudonym mechanism was used in the authentication process to protect the privacy of end users.The terminal only needs to register once, and it can roam randomly between different security domains.BAN logic was used to prove the correctness of the protocol and analyze its security.The results show that this protocol is capable of resisting common attacks in IoT scenarios, and it features characteristics such as single sign-on and user anonymity.The performance of the cross-domain authentication protocol was evaluated based on computational and communication costs, and compared with existing schemes.The experimental results show that this protocol outperforms other schemes in terms of computational and communication costs, making it suitable for resource-constrained terminal devices.Overall, the proposed protocol offers lightweight and secure identity authentication within edge computing environments.…”

Trust evaluation optimization mechanism for cloud user behavior based on FANP by Yi ZHANG, Liqin TIAN, Zenan WU, Wenxing WU

“…The open cloud computing environment is facing security challenges and the traditional user behavior evaluation mechanism cannot guarantee the security of the cloud.In order to scientifically and quantitatively evaluate the user’s behavior trust, ensure the scientific and reasonable weight assignment, improve the security and credibility of user behavior under the cloud platform, a trust evaluation optimization mechanism combined with fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) was designed.In the proposal, user behavior trust evaluation based on one control target was extended to include two control target modules which were historical access behavior and current access environment.At the same time, the historical access behavior module was divided into two aspects: conventional behavior and gray behavior, and the current access environment module was divided into two directions: information integrity and access security.The corresponding control criteria was divided to construct the analytic network process (ANP) model under different control objectives.The limit hypermatrix under each target module was calculated to obtain the final stability weight of each element with the help of network analytic hierarchy process software.And the real user behavior data under the development platform was selected to comprehensively calculate the trust degree under different modules as the final behavior evaluation result.The expansion of the user behavior evaluation module refined the evaluation granularity, which makes the evaluation results more objective and accurate.In the cloud environment with the same malicious ratio, the optimization mechanism has better recognition effect, and it can identify cloud users with low trust efficiently and effectively, so as to improve the security and legitimacy of the cloud.At the same time, it also provids new research direction for solving the problem of user security and credibility, and effective risk control in the cloud environment.…”
