Research on strong robustness watermarking algorithm based on dynamic difference expansion by Tianqi WANG, Yingzhou ZHANG, Yunlong DI, Dingwen LI, Linlin ZHU

“…A surge in the amount of information comes with the rapid development of the technology industry.Across all industries, there is a need to collect and utilize vast amounts of data.While this big data holds immense value, it also poses unprecedented challenges to the field of data security.As relational databases serve as a fundamental storage medium for data, they often contain large-scale data rich in content and privacy.In the event of a data leak, significant losses may occur, highlighting the pressing need to safeguard database ownership and verify data ownership.However, existing database watermarking technologies face an inherent tradeoff between improving watermark embedding capacity and reducing data distortion.To address this issue and enhance watermark robustness, a novel robust database watermarking algorithm based on dynamic difference expansion was introduced.The QR code was employed as the watermark, the SVD decomposition of the low frequency part of the image was utilized after Haar wavelet transform.By extracting specific feature values and using residual feature values as the watermark sequence, it was ensured that the same-length watermark sequence contains more information and the embedded watermark length can be reduced.Furthermore, by combining the adaptive differential evolution algorithm and the minimum difference algorithm, the optimal embedding attribute bits were selected to alleviate the problems of low computational efficiency, high data distortion and poor robustness of traditional difference expansion techniques in embedding watermarks, and to improve the embedding capacity of watermarks while reducing the distortion of data.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves a high watermark embedding rate with low data distortion.It is resilient against multiple attacks, exhibiting excellent robustness and strong traceability.Compared to existing algorithms, it offers distinct advantages and holds great potential for broad application in the field of data security.…”

Autonomous security analysis and penetration testing model based on attack graph and deep Q-learning network by Cheng FAN, Guoqing HU, Taojie DING, Zhanhua ZHANG

“…With the continuous development and widespread application of network technology, network security issues have become increasingly prominent.Penetration testing has emerged as an important method for assessing and enhancing network security.However, traditional manual penetration testing methods suffer from inefficiency,human error, and tester skills, leading to high uncertainty and poor evaluation results.To address these challenges, an autonomous security analysis and penetration testing framework called ASAPT was proposed, based on attack graphs and deep Q-learning networks (DQN).The ASAPT framework was consisted of two main components:training data construction and model training.In the training data construction phase, attack graphs were utilized to model the threats in the target network by representing vulnerabilities and possible attacker attack paths as nodes and edges.By integrating the common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) vulnerability database, a “state-action”transition matrix was constructed, which depicted the attacker’s behavior and transition probabilities in different states.This matrix comprehensively captured the attacker’s capabilities and network security status.To reduce computational complexity, a depth-first search (DFS) algorithm was innovatively applied to simplify the transition matrix, identifying and preserving all attack paths that lead to the final goal for subsequent model training.In the model training phase, a deep reinforcement learning algorithm based on DQN was employed to determine the optimal attack path during penetration testing.The algorithm interacted continuously with the environment, updating the Q-value function to progressively optimize the selection of attack paths.Simulation results demonstrate that ASAPT achieves an accuracy of 84% in identifying the optimal path and exhibits fast convergence speed.Compared to traditional Q-learning, ASAPT demonstrates superior adaptability in dealing with large-scale network environments, which could provide guidance for practical penetration testing.…”
