Improved chosen-plaintext power analysis attack against SM4 at the round-output by Zhi-bo DU, Zhen WU, Min WANG, Jin-tao RAO

“…The power analysis attack on SM4 using the chosen-plaintext method was proposed by Wang et al in 2013 CIS.The fixed data was introduced in the method when attacking the round key.However,the attack process was complex.There were many problems in the process,such as more power traces,more numbers of the chosen-plaintext and acquisition power traces.The correlation between the fixed data and the round key were presented,which could be used to decode the round key.Based on the correlation,the improved chosen-plaintext power analysis attack against SM4 at the round-output was proposed.The proposed method attacked the fixed data by analyzing the power traces of the special plaintext.And the round key was derived based on the correlation.The results show that the proposed attack algorithm is effective.The proposed method not only improves the efficiency of the attack by reducing number of power traces,number of the chosen-plaintext and number of acquisition power traces,but also can be applied to a chosen-plaintext power analysis attack against SM4 at the shift operation.…”

Urban Traffic Flow Forecast Based on FastGCRNN by Ya Zhang, Mingming Lu, Haifeng Li

“…Specifically, we use FastGCN unit to efficiently capture the topological relationship between the roads and the surrounding roads in the graph with reducing the computational complexity through importance sampling, combine GRU unit to capture the temporal dependency of traffic flow, and embed the spatiotemporal features into Seq2Seq based on the Encoder-Decoder framework. Experiments on large-scale traffic data sets illustrate that the proposed method can greatly reduce computational complexity and memory consumption while maintaining relatively high accuracy.…”

Graph clustering method based on structure entropy constraints by Zhiying ZHANG, Youliang TIAN

“…Aiming at the problem of how to decode the true structure of the network from the network embedded in the large-scale noise structure at the open information sharing platform centered on big data, and furthermore accurate mining results can be obtained in the mining related information process, the method of clustering based on structure entropy was proposed to realize divide the correlation degree of nodes in the graph.A solution algorithm for calculating two-dimensional structural information and a module division algorithm based on the principle of entropy reduction were proposed to divide the nodes in the graph structure to obtain corresponding modules.The K-dimensional structural information algorithm was used to further divide the divided modules to realize the clustering of nodes in the graph structure.An example analysis shows that the proposed graph clustering method can not only reflect the true structure of the graph structure, but also effectively mine the degree of association between nodes in the graph structure.At the same time, the other three clustering schemes are compared, and the experiment shows that this scheme has higher efficiency in execution time and guarantees the reliability of the clustering results.…”
