A companys operational and historical data contains strategic and operational knowledge of ever-increasing added value. The emergence of a new paradigm: big data. Today, the value of the data scattered throughout this mother of knowledge is calculated in billions of dollars, depending on its size, scope and area of intervention. With the rise of computer networks and distributed systems, the threats to these sensitive resources have steadily increased, jeopardizing the existence of the company itself by drying up production and losing the interest of customers and suppliers. These threats range from sabotage to bankruptcy. For several decades now, most companies have been using encryption algorithms to protect and secure their information systems against the threats and dangers posed by the inherent vulnerabilities of their infrastructure and the current economic climate. This vulnerability requires companies to make the right choice of algorithms to implement in their management systems.

The cryptosystem based on Goppa code has high security, but can be achieved poor. The cryptosystems based on other error correcting codes have higher performance than Goppa code. But there are still some disadvantages to solve. At last, the paper produce an assumption of the Niederreiter cascade combination cryptosystem based on double public-keys under complex circumstances, which has higher performance and security than the traditional cryptosystems.展开更多

文摘The rapid transmission of multimedia information has been achieved mainly by recent advancements in the Internet’s speed and information technology.In spite of this,advancements in technology have resulted in breaches of privacy and data security.When it comes to protecting private information in today’s Internet era,digital steganography is vital.Many academics are interested in digital video because it has a great capability for concealing important data.There have been a vast number of video steganography solutions developed lately to guard against the theft of confidential data.The visual imperceptibility,robustness,and embedding capacity of these approaches are all challenges that must be addressed.In this paper,a novel solution to reversible video steganography based on Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT)and Quick Response(QR)codes is proposed to address these concerns.In order to increase the security level of the suggested method,an enhanced ElGamal cryptosystem has also been proposed.Prior to the embedding stage,the suggested method uses the modified ElGamal algorithm to encrypt secret QR codes.Concurrently,it applies two-dimensional DWT on the Y-component of each video frame resulting in Approximation(LL),Horizontal(LH),Vertical(HL),and Diagonal(HH)sub-bands.Then,the encrypted Low(L),Medium(M),Quantile(Q),and High(H)QR codes are embedded into the HL sub-band,HHsub-band,U-component,and V-component of video frames,respectively,using the Least Significant Bit(LSB)technique.As a consequence of extensive testing of the approach,it was shown to be very secure and highly invisible,as well as highly resistant to attacks from Salt&Pepper,Gaussian,Poisson,and Speckle noises,which has an average Structural Similarity Index(SSIM)of more than 0.91.Aside from visual imperceptibility,the suggested method exceeds current methods in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR)average of 52.143 dB,and embedding capacity 1 bpp.

文摘We propose a new fractional two-dimensional triangle function combination discrete chaotic map(2D-TFCDM)with the discrete fractional difference.Moreover,the chaos behaviors of the proposed map are observed and the bifurcation diagrams,the largest Lyapunov exponent plot,and the phase portraits are derived,respectively.Finally,with the secret keys generated by Menezes-Vanstone elliptic curve cryptosystem,we apply the discrete fractional map into color image encryption.After that,the image encryption algorithm is analyzed in four aspects and the result indicates that the proposed algorithm is more superior than the other algorithms.

文摘The paper review the public-key cryptosystems based on the error correcting codes such as Goppa code, BCH code, RS code, rank distance code, algebraic geometric code as well as LDPC code, and made the comparative analyses of the merits and drawbacks of them. The cryptosystem based on Goppa code has high security, but can be achieved poor. The cryptosystems based on other error correcting codes have higher performance than Goppa code. But there are still some disadvantages to solve. At last, the paper produce an assumption of the Niederreiter cascade combination cryptosystem based on double public-keys under complex circumstances, which has higher performance and security than the traditional cryptosystems.
