Study on security routing algorithm based on dynamic adjacent trust by Ting HAN, Shou-shan LUO, Yang XIN, Yi-xian YANG, Gong CHENG, Xiao WU

“…By studying the related issues of the router node trust,a dynamic adjacent credibility-trust model which inte-grates factors of state and behavior of the router node was proposed.On the basis of dynamic adjacent credibility-trust model,a security routing algorithm based on dynamic adjacent trust entropy was also proposed,which was validated in the OSPF protocol.The simulation results show that dynamic adjacent credibility-trust model can accurately reflect the state altering and malicious attack of the router node and has better dynamic response ability.In addition,the security routing algorithm can effectively guarantee the behavior and state trust of the router node with highly attack resistant properties.…”

Wyner-Ziv spatial scalable video coding using compressive sensing in ubiquitous networks by GAN Zong-liang, QI Li-na, TANG Gui-jin, ZHU Xiu-chang

“…A novel Wyner-Ziv spatial scalable video coding using compressive sensing was proposed for the ubiquitous networks.At the encoder,both the base layer and enhancement layer encode the video signal independent,in which down-sampling video was coded by H.264 in the based layer and original video was coded with adaptive compressive sensing measurement,quantization and entropy coding in the enhancement layer.At the decoder,the base layer and enhancement layer jointly recovered the video signal using compressive sensing approach based on joint sparse model of inter frames.Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed video coding method can flexibly adjust the bit stream,and has better rate-distortion performance and the robustness of transmission.…”

Improvement and evaluation for algebraic fault attacks on PRESENT by Jing HUANG, Xin-jie ZHAO, Fan ZHANG, Shi-ze GUO, Ping ZHOU, Hao CHEN, Jian YANG

“…An enhanced algebraic fault analysis on PRESENT was proposed.Algebraic cryptanalysis was introduced to build the algebraic equations for both the target cipher and faults.The equation set of PRESENT was built reversely in order to accelerate the solving speed.An algorithm of estimating the reduced key entropy for given amount of fault injec-tions was proposed,which can evaluate the resistance of PRESENT against fault attacks under different fault models.Fi-nally,extensive glitch-based fault attacks were conducted on an 8-bit smart card PRESENT implemented on a smart card.The best results show that only one fault injection was required for the key recovery,this is the best result of fault attacks on PRESENT in terms of the data complexity.…”
