Novel adaptive generalized principal component analysis algorithm based on Hebbian rule by Yingbin GAO, Xiangyu KONG, Qiaohua CUI, Haidi DONG

“…In order to adaptively estimate the generalized principal component from input signals,a novel generalized principal component analysis algorithm was proposed based on the Hebbian linear neuron model.Since the autocorrelation matrices of the signals were estimated directly from the sampled data at the current time,the proposed algorithm had low computation complexity.Trough analyzing all of the equilibrium points by Lyapunov method,it is proven that if and only if the weight vector in the neuron had the same direction with the generalized principal component,the proposed algorithm attains the convergence status.Simulation results shows that compared with some same type algorithms,the proposed algorithm has faster convergence speed.…”

Secure communication mechanism for VSN based on certificateless signcryption by Wenbo ZHANG, Wenhua HUANG, Jingyu FENG

“…To solve the communication security problems of vehicular social network (VSN), an efficient certificateless signcryption scheme was proposed.The proposed scheme was proven secure in the random oracle model based on the computational Diffie-Hellman problem and elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, which provided confidentiality and unforgeability protection for VSN members.In addition, when the pseudonym mechanism was used to solve the privacy protection problem in VSN, without installing tamper-proof device, a self-generation mechanism for vehicle pseudonyms and their keys was proposed.The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can decrease communication cost, and significantly reduce the computation overhead of the key generation center.…”

Attacking scheme against the permutation-based multi-polynomial scheme for pair-wise key establishment in wireless sensor networks by Ai-wen WANG, Tao WEN, Yong ZHANG, Feng-mei ZHU, Di WU

“…An attacking scheme was proposed against the permutation-based multi-polynomial scheme proposed by Guo,et al for pair-wise key establishment in wireless sensor networks.Attacks on polynomials were carried out by constructing a black-box to integrally solve the set of polynomials rather than a single polynomial.The results show that this scheme can break the symmetric polynomials and make the permutation of polynomials lose its function.The proven theorems and instance analysis indicate that the scheme proposed by Guo,et al can’t frustrate the large-scale node capture attack and can’t break the tolerance threshold of polynomials.Therefore,the scheme is insecure.…”

Provable data possession scheme with authentication by Hao-xing LI, Feng-hua LI, Cheng-gen SONG, Ya-long YAN

“…To satisfy the requirements of identity authentication and data possession proven in the cloud application scenarios,a provable data possession scheme with authentication was proposed.Based on data tag signature and randomness reusing,the proposed scheme could accomplish several issues with three interactions,including the possession proof of cloud data,the mutual authentication between user and cloud computing server,the session key agreement and confirmation.Compared to the simple combination of authentication key agreement and provable data possession schemes,the proposed scheme has less computation and interactions,and better provable securities.In the random oracle model,the security proof of the proposed scheme is given under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption.…”

ID-based efficient and proactive threshold proxy signature in the standard model by YU Yi-ke1, ZHENG Xue-feng2

“…The security of existing identity-based threshold proxy signature schemes were almost proven in the random oracle model,and each proxy signer’s proxy signature key was fixed in the valid period.A（t,n） ID-based proactive threshold proxy signature scheme（IBTPTS） was presented by using the publicly verifiable secret sharing technology,based on existential identity-based signature scheme.The scheme was proved to be safe in the standard model.Each proxy signer’s proxy signature key can be updated regularly,and proxy signature verifying procedure only needs const bi-linear pairings.Therefore the scheme has better dynamic security and higher efficiency.…”

Secrecy capacity analysis of MISO system with artificial noise by Jiang JI, Liang JIN, Kai-zhi HUANG

“…Adding artificial noise in the MISO system was an effective method to improve the security.The transmit power allocation and artificial noise generation was mainly discussed.An artificial noise model of MISO system was presented,in which the artificial noise was regarded as additive channel noise.It was proven that when the artificial noise was distributed on Gaussian distribution,the secrecy capacity of MISO system was maximized,and the expression of this secrecy capacity was deduced.Considering the transmit power constraint and using the vector space projection method,The optimum power allocation is obtained.Given a power allocation,the artificial noise is generated by Box-Muller transformation,which was distributed on Gaussian distribution.And with the vector projection method,the artificial noise meets the optimum power allocation.…”
