Sensitive information leakage awareness method for big data platform based on multi-attributes decision-making and taint tracking by Le-tian SHA, Fu XIAO, Wei CHEN, Jing SUN, Ru-chuan WANG

“…Based on multiple-attribute-decision-making and taint tracking,a sensitive-information leakage awareness method was proposed,some relative known vulnerabilities in big data platform was analyzed,target database was extracted and extended,multiple attribute model was built combined with operation semantic,a grey-correlation-analysis and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution based sensitivity measurement was designed in combination of regular operation semantic for sensitive information.A prototype was built based on taint tracking,sensitive-information leakage vulnerabilities could be verified and discovered across big data platforms in this method.The experiment shows that verification for known bugs and discovery for unknown vulnerabilities can be accomplished based on leakage scenarios,which can be regarded as a support for protection in dynamic sensitive information data flow.…”

Access selection algorithm for heterogeneous wireless network based on DA optimized fuzzy neural network by Zhihong QIAN, Yinuo FENG, Jiani SUN, Xue WANG

“…To solve the access selection problem of heterogeneous wireless network, an access selection algorithm based on dragonfly algorithm (DA) optimized fuzzy neural network (FNN) was proposed, considering the user’s business type and network state.In view of the low convergence speed of the fuzzy neural network, the dragonfly algorithm was used to optimize the membership function parameters of the second and fifth layers of the fuzzy neural network, so as to obtain the initial value of membership function parameters of the fuzzy neural network.The most suitable network was selected for the users according to their preference to the network and the output score of the network under different business types.The experimental results show that dragonfly algorithm optimization can improve the convergence speed of fuzzy neural network, improve system throughput, reduce blocking rate, and reduce switching times to some extent.…”
