文摘The increasing use of cloud-based devices has reached the critical point of cybersecurity and unwanted network traffic.Cloud environments pose significant challenges in maintaining privacy and security.Global approaches,such as IDS,have been developed to tackle these issues.However,most conventional Intrusion Detection System(IDS)models struggle with unseen cyberattacks and complex high-dimensional data.In fact,this paper introduces the idea of a novel distributed explainable and heterogeneous transformer-based intrusion detection system,named INTRUMER,which offers balanced accuracy,reliability,and security in cloud settings bymultiplemodulesworking together within it.The traffic captured from cloud devices is first passed to the TC&TM module in which the Falcon Optimization Algorithm optimizes the feature selection process,and Naie Bayes algorithm performs the classification of features.The selected features are classified further and are forwarded to the Heterogeneous Attention Transformer(HAT)module.In this module,the contextual interactions of the network traffic are taken into account to classify them as normal or malicious traffic.The classified results are further analyzed by the Explainable Prevention Module(XPM)to ensure trustworthiness by providing interpretable decisions.With the explanations fromthe classifier,emergency alarms are transmitted to nearby IDSmodules,servers,and underlying cloud devices for the enhancement of preventive measures.Extensive experiments on benchmark IDS datasets CICIDS 2017,Honeypots,and NSL-KDD were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the INTRUMER model in detecting network trafficwith high accuracy for different types.Theproposedmodel outperforms state-of-the-art approaches,obtaining better performance metrics:98.7%accuracy,97.5%precision,96.3%recall,and 97.8%F1-score.Such results validate the robustness and effectiveness of INTRUMER in securing diverse cloud environments against sophisticated cyber threats.

文摘Cloud storage,a core component of cloud computing,plays a vital role in the storage and management of data.Electronic Health Records(EHRs),which document users’health information,are typically stored on cloud servers.However,users’sensitive data would then become unregulated.In the event of data loss,cloud storage providers might conceal the fact that data has been compromised to protect their reputation and mitigate losses.Ensuring the integrity of data stored in the cloud remains a pressing issue that urgently needs to be addressed.In this paper,we propose a data auditing scheme for cloud-based EHRs that incorporates recoverability and batch auditing,alongside a thorough security and performance evaluation.Our scheme builds upon the indistinguishability-based privacy-preserving auditing approach proposed by Zhou et al.We identify that this scheme is insecure and vulnerable to forgery attacks on data storage proofs.To address these vulnerabilities,we enhanced the auditing process using masking techniques and designed new algorithms to strengthen security.We also provide formal proof of the security of the signature algorithm and the auditing scheme.Furthermore,our results show that our scheme effectively protects user privacy and is resilient against malicious attacks.Experimental results indicate that our scheme is not only secure and efficient but also supports batch auditing of cloud data.Specifically,when auditing 10,000 users,batch auditing reduces computational overhead by 101 s compared to normal auditing.
文摘Accurate prediction of cloud resource utilization is critical.It helps improve service quality while avoiding resource waste and shortages.However,the time series of resource usage in cloud computing systems often exhibit multidimensionality,nonlinearity,and high volatility,making the high-precision prediction of resource utilization a complex and challenging task.At present,cloud computing resource prediction methods include traditional statistical models,hybrid approaches combining machine learning and classical models,and deep learning techniques.Traditional statistical methods struggle with nonlinear predictions,hybrid methods face challenges in feature extraction and long-term dependencies,and deep learning methods incur high computational costs.The above methods are insufficient to achieve high-precision resource prediction in cloud computing systems.Therefore,we propose a new time series prediction model,called SDVformer,which is based on the Informer model by integrating the Savitzky-Golay(SG)filters,a novel Discrete-Variation Self-Attention(DVSA)mechanism,and a type-aware mixture of experts(T-MOE)framework.The SG filter is designed to reduce noise and enhance the feature representation of input data.The DVSA mechanism is proposed to optimize the selection of critical features to reduce computational complexity.The T-MOE framework is designed to adjust the model structure based on different resource characteristics,thereby improving prediction accuracy and adaptability.Experimental results show that our proposed SDVformer significantly outperforms baseline models,including Recurrent Neural Network(RNN),Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),and Informer in terms of prediction precision,on both the Alibaba public dataset and the dataset collected by Beijing Jiaotong University(BJTU).Particularly compared with the Informer model,the average Mean Squared Error(MSE)of SDVformer decreases by about 80%,fully demonstrating its advantages in complex time series prediction tasks in cloud computing systems.
