Dynamic and efficient vehicular cloud management scheme with privacy protection by Min XIAO, Tao YAO, Yuanni LIU, Yonghong HUANG

“…The vehicular cloud (VC) formed by vehicles is used for localization processing and consumption of traffic sensing data to achieve timely intelligent traffic management.The vehicle cloud is highly dynamic, self-organizing and timely, in which the identity and location privacy of vehicle users need to be protected as this poses challenges to the vehicular cloud management.A dynamic and self-organizing vehicle cloud management scheme based on the asymmetric group key agreement protocol was designed, where the vehicle cloud is automatically formed through the self-organized group key agreement of vehicles.The group key was used to control the provision and access of vehicle cloud services, and the dynamic management of the vehicle cloud was implemented through group key update.The scheme used traceable one-time pseudonym technology to achieve anonymous authentication and conditional privacy protection of vehicle users, and the group key agreement stage only included one bilinear pair operation to achieve high efficiency.In addition, the key negotiation and update process used lightweight signatures, supporting batch verification, to achieve efficient message source authentication and integrity authentication.Then the security and efficiency of vehicle cloud communications in the self-organizing environment can be ensured.The dynamic key update mechanism of the key agreement protocol realized the dynamic joining or exiting of vehicles in the vehicle cloud, adapting to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle cloud.Under the random oracle model and the difficult assumption of the inverse computational Diffie Hellman (ICDH) problem, it was proved that the asymmetric group key agreement scheme satisfied the selective-plaintext security.The security analysis shows that the scheme can protect the identity and location privacy of vehicle users, realize the legal tracking of malicious vehicles, and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and anti-counterfeiting of communications, as well as the forward security of vehicle cloud dynamic management.The performance comparison analysis shows that this scheme has certain advantages in communication and computing efficiency under the condition of the same function and security level.…”

Strategy of container migration and honeypot deployment based on signal game in cloud environment by Lingshu LI, Jiangxing WU, Wei ZENG, Wenyan LIU

“…Multi-tenant coexistence and resource sharing in the SaaS cloud pose serious security risks.On the one hand, soft isolation of logical namespaces is easy to be bypassed or broken.On the other hand, it is easy to be subjected to co-resident attacks due to sharing of the host operating system and underlying physical resources.Therefore it poses a serious threat to data availability, integrity and confidentiality in the container cloud.Given the problem that SaaS cloud services are vulnerable to container escape and side-channel equivalent resident attack, network deception technology increases the uncertainty of the cloud environment and reduces the effectiveness of attack by hiding the business function and characteristic attributes of the executor.Aiming at the security threat caused by the co-resident attack, combining dynamic migration and virtual honeypot security technology, the economical and reasonable network deception method was studied.Specifically, a container migration and honeypot deployment strategy based on the signal game was proposed.According to the security threat analysis, container migration and honeypot were used as defense methods.The former improved the undetectability of the system based on the idea of moving to target defense, while the latter confused attackers by placing decoy containers or providing false services.Furthermore, since network reconnaissance was the pre-step of the network attack chain, the attack and defense process was modeled as a two-person signal game with incomplete information.The sender chose to release a signal according to his type, and the receiver could only obtain the signal released by the sender but could not determine the type.Then, a game tree was constructed for the complete but imperfect information dynamic game, and the costs and benefits of different strategy combinations were set.The optimal deception strategy was determined by equilibrium analysis of attack-defense model.Experimental results show that the proposed strategy can effectively improve system security.Besides, it can also reduce container migration frequency and defense cost.…”

Cloud outsourcing secret sharing scheme against covert adversaries by En ZHANG, Kui GENG, Wei JIN, Yong-jun LI, Yun-qing SUN, Feng-hua LI

“…In order to make computationally weak cloud tenants can reconstruct a secret with efficiency and fairness,a cloud outsourcing secret sharing scheme was proposed,which combined cloud outsourcing computation with secret sharing scheme.In the process of outsourcing secret sharing,cloud tenants just need a small amount of decryption and validation operations,while outsource expensive cryptographic operations to cloud service provider (CSP).The scheme,without complex interactive augment or zero-knowledge proof,could detect malicious behaviors of cloud tenants or cloud service providers.And the scheme was secure against covert adversaries.Finally,every cloud tenant was able to obtain the secret fairly and correctly.Security analysis and performance comparison show that scheme is safe and effective.…”
