VHSAP-based approach of defending against DDoS attacks for cloud computing routing platforms by UZhi-jun W, UIYi C, UEMeng Y

“…Based on the analysis of security overlay service (SOS) approach of defending against DDoS attacks in large scale network,the vulnerability in the exit mechanism of being attacked nodes in SOS approach is explored.The vulnerability is solved by improving the Chord algorithm according to the routing strategy in cloud computing.Hence,the virtualization hash security access path (VHSAP) in three-layer structure is proposed to protect the cloud computing platform.In VHSAP,the heartbeat mechanism is applied to realize virtual nodes by using the virtual technology.Therefore,the virtual nodes have the ability of resilience,which can complete the seamless switching between being attacked nodes in cloud computing platform,and guarantee the legitimate user's authority of accessing to the resource in cloud computing platform.Experiments of VHSAP defending against DDoS attacks are carried out in simulation network environment.The parameters,such as the number of being attacked nodes in hash secure access path (HSAP),and the switching time and the handoff delay between nodes,are focused in experiments.The result shows that VHSAP achieves a higher data pass rate than that of SOS approach,and enhances the security of cloud computing platform.…”

Secure vehicular digital forensics system based on blockchain by Meng LI, Chengxiang SI, Liehuang ZHU

“…The emergence of vehicular big data has brought a great promotion to better understand characteristics of vehicular networks,grasp needs of users and improve service qualities.However,malicious users and criminals leverage vehicular networks to conduct illegal behaviors,resulting in a decline in the service quality and difficulties in determining the liability in vehicle accidents.At the same time,there are still some security and privacy issues in the vehicular digital forensics,such as the identity privacy of the data provider and the request control of the data requester.Therefore,a secure vehicular digital forensics scheme based on blockchain was proposed.Firstly,a data requester registered with a certificate authority and an anonymous certificate was obtained for the subsequent data uploading.Then,the data user obtained the public-private key pair and user key in registration,which were respectively used for the data requesting and data decryption.Only if certain attributes were held,the right plaintext could be decrypted.Next,a consortium blockchain was jointly established by several institutions with high credibility to record all data transactions.Finally,the security and privacy were experimentally analyzed,and the performance was tested based on the Ethereum platform.…”

Common Property and Local Development. Research Elements for Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy) by Maurizio Daici

“…With this opinion, in 1927, the legislator mainly acted to get the agricultural properties free from common uses (grazing, gathering wood, etc.) and to reduce the extensions of the properties opened to a shared utilisation, by putting them at the same time under the authority of the municipalities. However, from the 1950s, law provisions for special measures in favour of mountain areas indicated the common properties (meadows, forests, farm buildings) as valuable resources for development initiatives, not only in traditional activity sectors (especially in the touristic sector). …”
