In the scheme, anyone is allowed to encrypt a message and distribute it to a designated group. Each member in the designated group has the ability to independently decrypt a ciphertext. In contrast to traditional broadcast encryption, all the valid receivers in the proposed scheme compose the designated group. To take advantage of this property, a tab for the group is set and the matching private key for each member is generated. In addition, before decrypting a ciphertext, anyone in the scheme can verify the ciphertext, to ensure that the ciphertext is correct. This property is very important for large-scale group communication, as the gateway can filter incorrect ciphertext and alleviate the receiver＇s workload. Finally, a proof in the random oracle model is given, to show that the proposed scheme is secure against the adaptively chosen ciphertext attack.展开更多

文摘With the rapid development of holographic technology,metasurface-based holographic communication schemes have demonstrated immense potential for electromagnetic(EM)multifunctionality.However,traditional passive metasurfaces are severely limited by their lack of reconfigurability,hindering the realization of versatile holographic applications.Origami,an art form that mechanically induces spatial deformations,serves as a platform for multifunctional devices and has garnered significant attention in optics,physics,and materials science.The Miura-ori folding paradigm,characterized by its continuous reconfigurability in folded states,remains unexplored in the context of holographic imaging.Herein,we integrate the principles of Rosenfeld with L-and D-metal chiral enantiomers on a Miura-ori surface to tailor the aperture distribution.Leveraging the continuously tunable nature of the Miura-ori's folded states,the chiral response of the metallic structures varies across different folding configurations,enabling distinct EM holographic imaging functionalities.In the planar state,holographic encryption is achieved.Under specific folding conditions and driven by spin circularly polarized(CP)waves at a particular frequency,multiplexed holographic images can be reconstructed on designated focal planes with CP selectivity.Notably,the fabricated origami metasurface exhibits a large negative Poisson ratio,facilitating portability and deployment and offering novel avenues for spin-selective systems,camouflage,and information encryption.

文摘Due to the rapid advancement of information technology,data has emerged as the core resource driving decision-making and innovation across all industries.As the foundation of artificial intelligence,machine learning(ML)has expanded its applications into intelligent recommendation systems,autonomous driving,medical diagnosis,and financial risk assessment.However,it relies on massive datasets,which contain sensitive personal information.Consequently,Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning(PPML)has become a critical research direction.To address the challenges of efficiency and accuracy in encrypted data computation within PPML,Homomorphic Encryption(HE)technology is a crucial solution,owing to its capability to facilitate computations on encrypted data.However,the integration of machine learning and homomorphic encryption technologies faces multiple challenges.Against this backdrop,this paper reviews homomorphic encryption technologies,with a focus on the advantages of the Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song(CKKS)algorithm in supporting approximate floating-point computations.This paper reviews the development of three machine learning techniques:K-nearest neighbors(KNN),K-means clustering,and face recognition-in integration with homomorphic encryption.It proposes feasible schemes for typical scenarios,summarizes limitations and future optimization directions.Additionally,it presents a systematic exploration of the integration of homomorphic encryption and machine learning from the essence of the technology,application implementation,performance trade-offs,technological convergence and future pathways to advance technological development.

文摘Ln-containing polyoxoniobates(PONbs)have appealing applications in luminescence,information encryption and magnetic fields,but the synthesis of PONbs containing high-nuclearity Ln-O clusters is challenging due to the easy hydrolysis of Ln^(3+)ions in alkaline environments.In this paper,we are able to integrate CO_(3)^(2-)and high-nuclearity Ln-O clusters into PONb to construct an inorganic giant Eu_(19)-embedded PONb H_(49)K_(16)Na_(13)(H_(2)O)_(63)[Eu_(21)O_(2)(OH)_(7)(H_(2)O)_(5)(Nb_(7)O_(22))_(10)(Nb_(2)O_(6))_(2)(CO_(3))_(18)]·91H_(2)O(1),which contains the highest nuclearity Eu-O clusters and the largest number of Eu^(3+)ions among PONbs.In addition,the film that was prepared by mixing 1 with gelatin and glycerol,exhibits reversible luminescence switching behavior under acid/alkali stimulation and has been used to create a fluorescence-encoded information approach.This work paves a feasible strategy for the construction of high-nuclearity Ln-O cluster-containing PONbs and the expansion of the application of Ln-containing PONbs in information encryption.

文摘Ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of patient medical information is a critical priority in the healthcare sector.In the context of security,this paper proposes a novel encryption algorithm that integrates Blockchain technology,aiming to improve the security and privacy of transmitted data.The proposed encryption algorithm is a block-cipher image encryption scheme based on different chaotic maps:The logistic Map,the Tent Map,and the Henon Map used to generate three encryption keys.The proposed block-cipher system employs the Hilbert curve to perform permutation while a generated chaos-based S-Box is used to perform substitution.Furthermore,the integration of a Blockchain-based solution for securing data transmission and communication between nodes and authenticating the encrypted medical image’s authenticity adds a layer of security to our proposed method.Our proposed cryptosystem is divided into two principal modules presented as a pseudo-random number generator(PRNG)used for key generation and an encryption and decryption system based on the properties of confusion and diffusion.The security analysis and experimental tests for the proposed algorithm show that the average value of the information entropy of the encrypted images is 7.9993,the Number of Pixels Change Rate(NPCR)values are over 99.5%and the Unified Average Changing Intensity(UACI)values are greater than 33%.These results prove the strength of our proposed approach,demonstrating that it can significantly enhance the security of encrypted images.

文摘Ciphertext data retrieval in cloud databases suffers from some critical limitations,such as inadequate security measures,disorganized key management practices,and insufficient retrieval access control capabilities.To address these problems,this paper proposes an enhanced Fully Homomorphic Encryption(FHE)algorithm based on an improved DGHV algorithm,coupled with an optimized ciphertext retrieval scheme.Our specific contributions are outlined as follows:First,we employ an authorization code to verify the user’s retrieval authority and perform hierarchical access control on cloud storage data.Second,a triple-key encryption mechanism,which separates the data encryption key,retrieval authorization key,and retrieval key,is designed.Different keys are provided to different entities to run corresponding system functions.The key separation architecture proves particularly advantageous in multi-verifier coexistence scenarios,environments involving untrusted third-party retrieval services.Finally,the enhanced DGHV-based retrieval mechanism extends conventional functionality by enabling multi-keyword queries with similarity-ranked results,thereby significantly improving both the functionality and usability of the FHE system.

文摘False Data Injection Attack(FDIA),a disruptive cyber threat,is becoming increasingly detrimental to smart grids with the deepening integration of information technology and physical power systems,leading to system unreliability,data integrity loss and operational vulnerability exposure.Given its widespread harm and impact,conducting in-depth research on FDIA detection is vitally important.This paper innovatively introduces a FDIA detection scheme:A Protected Federated Deep Learning(ProFed),which leverages Federated Averaging algorithm(FedAvg)as a foundational framework to fortify data security,harnesses pre-trained enhanced spatial-temporal graph neural networks(STGNN)to perform localized model training and integrates the Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song(CKKS)homomorphic encryption system to secure sensitive information.Simulation tests on IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art detection methods across all evaluation metrics,with peak improvements reaching up to 35%.

文摘Due to the development of cloud computing and machine learning,users can upload their data to the cloud for machine learning model training.However,dishonest clouds may infer user data,resulting in user data leakage.Previous schemes have achieved secure outsourced computing,but they suffer from low computational accuracy,difficult-to-handle heterogeneous distribution of data from multiple sources,and high computational cost,which result in extremely poor user experience and expensive cloud computing costs.To address the above problems,we propose amulti-precision,multi-sourced,andmulti-key outsourcing neural network training scheme.Firstly,we design a multi-precision functional encryption computation based on Euclidean division.Second,we design the outsourcing model training algorithm based on a multi-precision functional encryption with multi-sourced heterogeneity.Finally,we conduct experiments on three datasets.The results indicate that our framework achieves an accuracy improvement of 6%to 30%.Additionally,it offers a memory space optimization of 1.0×2^(24) times compared to the previous best approach.

文摘Photoswitchable fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles were widely concerned because of their excellent features including the flexible design,easy preparation and functionalization,and thus exhibited great application potential in information encryption,anti-counterfeiting,but remained challenging in improving the security.Herein,we described a self-erased time-resolved information encryption via using photoswitchable dual-color fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles(PDFPNs)containing two fluorescence dyes(blue and red)and photochromic spiroxazine derivatives.In view of the different thermo-induced isomerization rates of photochromic spiroxazine derivatives in different flexible substrates,the decoloration rate of PDFPNs can be programmatically tuned by regulating ratio between rigid polymer and flexible polymer.Therefore,after ultraviolet light(UV)irradiation,correct information could only be recognized in preestablished time during the self-erased process.Our results indicated that PDFPNs exhibited fast photo-responsibility(2 min),high fluorescence contrast,well-pleasing photo-reversibility(>20 times),and programmable thermo-responsiveness(24 s-6 h).We thus demonstrated their application in the selferased time-resolved information encryption and anti-counterfeiting with high security.
文摘Attribute-based encryption(ABE)is a cryptographic framework that provides flexible access control by allowing encryption based on user attributes.ABE is widely applied in cloud storage,file sharing,e-Health,and digital rightsmanagement.ABE schemes rely on hard cryptographic assumptions such as pairings and others(pairingfree)to ensure their security against external and internal attacks.Internal attacks are carried out by authorized users who misuse their access to compromise security with potentially malicious intent.One common internal attack is the attribute collusion attack,in which users with different attribute keys collaborate to decrypt data they could not individually access.This paper focuses on the ciphertext-policy ABE(CP-ABE),a type of ABE where ciphertexts are produced with access policies.Our firstwork is to carry out the attribute collusion attack against several existing pairingfree CP-ABE schemes.As a main contribution,we introduce a novel attack,termed the anonymous key-leakage attack,concerning the context in which users could anonymously publish their secret keys associated with certain attributes on public platforms without the risk of detection.This kind of internal attack has not been defined or investigated in the literature.We then show that several prominent pairing-based CP-ABE schemes are vulnerable to this attack.We believe that this work will contribute to helping the community evaluate suitable CP-ABE schemes for secure deployment in real-life applications.

文摘With the continuous growth of exponential data in IoT,it is usually chosen to outsource data to the cloud server.However,cloud servers are usually provided by third parties,and there is a risk of privacy leakage.Encrypting data can ensure its security,but at the same time,it loses the retrieval function of IoT data.Searchable Encryption(SE)can achieve direct retrieval based on ciphertext data.The traditional searchable encryption scheme has the problems of imperfect function,low retrieval efficiency,inaccurate retrieval results,and centralized cloud servers being vulnerable and untrustworthy.This paper proposes an Efficient searchable encryption scheme supporting fuzzy multi-keyword ranking search on the blockchain.The blockchain and IPFS are used to store the index and encrypted files in a distributed manner respectively.The tamper resistance of the distributed ledger ensures the authenticity of the data.The data retrieval work is performed by the smart contract to ensure the reliability of the data retrieval.The Local Sensitive Hash(LSH)function is combined with the Bloom Filter(BF)to realize the fuzzy multi-keyword retrieval function.In addition,to measure the correlation between keywords and files,a new weighted statistical algorithm combining RegionalWeight Score(RWS)and Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency(TF-IDF)is proposed to rank the search results.The balanced binary tree is introduced to establish the index structure,and the index binary tree traversal strategy suitable for this scheme is constructed to optimize the index structure and improve the retrieval efficiency.The experimental results show that the scheme is safe and effective in practical applications.

文摘With the fast development of multimedia social platforms,content dissemination on social media platforms is becomingmore popular.Social image sharing can also raise privacy concerns.Image encryption can protect social images.However,most existing image protection methods cannot be applied to multimedia social platforms because of encryption in the spatial domain.In this work,the authors propose a secure social image-sharing method with watermarking/fingerprinting and encryption.First,the fingerprint code with a hierarchical community structure is designed based on social network analysis.Then,discrete wavelet transform(DWT)from block discrete cosine transform(DCT)directly is employed.After that,all codeword segments are embedded into the LL,LH,and HL subbands,respectively.The selected subbands are confused based on Game of Life(GoL),and then all subbands are diffused with singular value decomposition(SVD).Experimental results and security analysis demonstrate the security,invisibility,and robustness of our method.Further,the superiority of the technique is elaborated through comparison with some related image security algorithms.The solution not only performs the fast transformation from block DCT to one-level DWT but also protects users’privacy in multimedia social platforms.With the proposed method,JPEG image secure sharing in multimedia social platforms can be ensured.
