We propose an efficient multi-authority CP-ABE scheme in which the authorities need not interact to generate public information during the system initialization phase. Our scheme has constant ciphertext length and a constant number of pairing computations. Our scheme can be proven CPA-secure in random oracle model under the decision q-BDHE assumption. When user's attributes revocation occurs, the scheme transfers most re-encryption work to the cloud service provider, reducing the data owner's computational cost on the premise of security. Finally the analysis and simulation result show that the schemes proposed in this thesis ensure the privacy and secure access of sensitive data stored in the cloud server, and be able to cope with the dynamic changes of users' access privileges in large-scale systems. Besides, the multi-authority ABE eliminates the key escrow problem, achieves the length of ciphertext optimization and enhances the effi ciency of the encryption and decryption operations.展开更多

Some new concepts such as private permission, public permission and special permission are introduced, based on the RRA97 model. Some new role-role inheriting forms such as normal inheritance, private inheritance, public inheritance and special-without inheritance are defined. Based on the ideas mentioned, the new role hierarchy model is formulated. It is easier and more comprehensible to describe role-role relationships through the new model than through the traditional ones. The new model is closer to the real world and its mechanism is more powerful. Particularly it is more suitable when used in large-scale role hierarchies.展开更多

Theoretical analysis shows that the medium access control mechanism obviously reduces the density of infected nodes in the networks, which has been ignored in previous studies. It is also found that by increasing the network node density or node communication radius greatly increases the number of infected nodes. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical simulations.展开更多

Then, both the unified identity authentication and the access control modules are designed according to those analyses. Finally, the unified identity authentication and the access control on the business level are implemented separately. In the unified identity authentication module, based on an improved Kerberos-based authentication approach, a new control transfer method is proposed to solve the sharing problem of tickets among different servers of different departments. In the access control module, the functions of access controls are divided into different granularities to make the access control management more flexible. Moreover, the access control module has significant reference value for user management in similar systems.展开更多

文摘Security attributes are the premise and foundation for implementing Attribute-Based Access Control(ABAC)mechanisms.However,when dealing with massive volumes of unstructured text big data resources,the current attribute management methods based on manual extraction face several issues,such as high costs for attribute extraction,long processing times,unstable accuracy,and poor scalability.To address these problems,this paper proposes an attribute mining technology for access control institutions based on hybrid capsule networks.This technology leverages transfer learning ideas,utilizing Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)pre-trained language models to achieve vectorization of unstructured text data resources.Furthermore,we have designed a novel end-to-end parallel hybrid network structure,where the parallel networks handle global and local information features of the text that they excel at,respectively.By employing techniques such as attention mechanisms,capsule networks,and dynamic routing,effective mining of security attributes for access control resources has been achieved.Finally,we evaluated the performance level of the proposed attribute mining method for access control institutions through experiments on the medical referral text resource dataset.The experimental results show that,compared with baseline algorithms,our method adopts a parallel network structure that can better balance global and local feature information,resulting in improved overall performance.Specifically,it achieves a comprehensive performance enhancement of 2.06%to 8.18%in the F1 score metric.Therefore,this technology can effectively provide attribute support for access control of unstructured text big data resources.

文摘This study proposes a system for biometric access control utilising the improved Cultural Chicken Swarm Optimization(CCSO)technique.This approach mitigates the limitations of conventional Chicken Swarm Optimization(CSO),especially in dealing with larger dimensions due to diversity loss during solution space exploration.Our experimentation involved 600 sample images encompassing facial,iris,and fingerprint data,collected from 200 students at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology(LAUTECH),Ogbomoso.The results demonstrate the remarkable effectiveness of CCSO,yielding accuracy rates of 90.42%,91.67%,and 91.25%within 54.77,27.35,and 113.92 s for facial,fingerprint,and iris biometrics,respectively.These outcomes significantly outperform those achieved by the conventional CSO technique,which produced accuracy rates of 82.92%,86.25%,and 84.58%at 92.57,63.96,and 163.94 s for the same biometric modalities.The study’s findings reveal that CCSO,through its integration of Cultural Algorithm(CA)Operators into CSO,not only enhances algorithm performance,exhibiting computational efficiency and superior accuracy,but also carries broader implications beyond biometric systems.This innovation offers practical benefits in terms of security enhancement,operational efficiency,and adaptability across diverse user populations,shaping more effective and resource-efficient access control systems with real-world applicability.
文摘The increasing deployment of Internet of Things(IoT)devices has introduced significant security chal-lenges,including identity spoofing,unauthorized access,and data integrity breaches.Traditional security mechanisms rely on centralized frameworks that suffer from single points of failure,scalability issues,and inefficiencies in real-time security enforcement.To address these limitations,this study proposes the Blockchain-Enhanced Trust and Access Control for IoT Security(BETAC-IoT)model,which integrates blockchain technology,smart contracts,federated learning,and Merkle tree-based integrity verification to enhance IoT security.The proposed model eliminates reliance on centralized authentication by employing decentralized identity management,ensuring tamper-proof data storage,and automating access control through smart contracts.Experimental evaluation using a synthetic IoT dataset shows that the BETAC-IoT model improves access control enforcement accuracy by 92%,reduces device authentication time by 52%(from 2.5 to 1.2 s),and enhances threat detection efficiency by 7%(from 85%to 92%)using federated learning.Additionally,the hybrid blockchain architecture achieves a 300%increase in transaction throughput when comparing private blockchain performance(1200 TPS)to public chains(300 TPS).Access control enforcement accuracy was quantified through confusion matrix analysis,with high precision and minimal false positives observed across access decision categories.Although the model presents advantages in security and scalability,challenges such as computational overhead,blockchain storage constraints,and interoperability with existing IoT systems remain areas for future research.This study contributes to advancing decentralized security frameworks for IoT,providing a resilient and scalable solution for securing connected environments.
文摘Terminals and their access represent a vulnerable aspect in the security framework of 5G-railway(5G-R)system.To enhance the control of 5G-R terminals and their access to applications,this paper analyzes the application scenarios,operational modes,services supported by 5G-R terminals,and the data paths between these terminals and the connected railway application service systems.Further analysis concentrates on the security risks posed by the characteristics of intelligent 5G-R handheld terminals,lightweight Internet of Things(IoT)communication terminals,and onboard integrated wireless transmission equipment with public-private convergence.In light of the risks above,this paper presents the terminal security control requirements.Furthermore,based on the planned architecture of the 5G-R system and security technologies such as terminal identity authentication and behavior auditing,the paper proposes a solution package for the 5G-R terminal security control system,including the overall architecture,functional implementation,and interface configuration.These solutions aim to achieve unified control over the admission and access of 5G-R handheld terminals,IoT communication terminals,and onboard integrated wireless communication equipment to railway application systems.Additionally,they enable the security control and analysis of terminal behaviors and application data,facilitate the security management of terminals,and ensure the secure release,download,and installation of mobile applications.
文摘A new role hierarchy model for RBAC (role-based access control) is presented and its features are illustrated through examples. Some new concepts such as private permission, public permission and special permission are introduced, based on the RRA97 model. Some new role-role inheriting forms such as normal inheritance, private inheritance, public inheritance and special-without inheritance are defined. Based on the ideas mentioned, the new role hierarchy model is formulated. It is easier and more comprehensible to describe role-role relationships through the new model than through the traditional ones. The new model is closer to the real world and its mechanism is more powerful. Particularly it is more suitable when used in large-scale role hierarchies.

文摘An access control model is proposed based on the famous Bell-LaPadula （BLP） model.In the proposed model,hierarchical relationships among departments are built,a new concept named post is proposed,and assigning security tags to subjects and objects is greatly simplified.The interoperation among different departments is implemented through assigning multiple security tags to one post, and the more departments are closed on the organization tree,the more secret objects can be exchanged by the staff of the departments.The access control matrices of the department,post and staff are defined.By using the three access control matrices,a multi granularity and flexible discretionary access control policy is implemented.The outstanding merit of the BLP model is inherited,and the new model can guarantee that all the information flow is under control.Finally,our study shows that compared to the BLP model,the proposed model is more flexible.

文摘Role based access control is one of the widely used access control models.There are investigations in the literature that use knowledge representation mechanisms such as formal concept analysis(FCA),description logics,and Ontology for representing access control mechanism.However,while using FCA,investigations reported in the literature so far work on the logic that transforms the three dimensional access control matrix into dyadic formal contexts.This transformation is mainly to derive the formal concepts,lattice structure and implications to represent role hierarchy and constraints of RBAC.In this work,we propose a methodology that models RBAC using triadic FCA without transforming the triadic access control matrix into dyadic formal contexts.Our discussion is on two lines of inquiry.We present how triadic FCA can provide a suitable representation of RBAC policy and we demonstrate how this representation follows role hierarchy and constraints of RBAC on sample healthcare network available in the literature.

文摘As a new computing mode,cloud computing can provide users with virtualized and scalable web services,which faced with serious security challenges,however.Access control is one of the most important measures to ensure the security of cloud computing.But applying traditional access control model into the Cloud directly could not solve the uncertainty and vulnerability caused by the open conditions of cloud computing.In cloud computing environment,only when the security and reliability of both interaction parties are ensured,data security can be effectively guaranteed during interactions between users and the Cloud.Therefore,building a mutual trust relationship between users and cloud platform is the key to implement new kinds of access control method in cloud computing environment.Combining with Trust Management(TM),a mutual trust based access control(MTBAC) model is proposed in this paper.MTBAC model take both user's behavior trust and cloud services node's credibility into consideration.Trust relationships between users and cloud service nodes are established by mutual trust mechanism.Security problems of access control are solved by implementing MTBAC model into cloud computing environment.Simulation experiments show that MTBAC model can guarantee the interaction between users and cloud service nodes.

文摘Data privacy is important to the security of our society,and enabling authorized users to query this data efficiently is facing more challenge.Recently,blockchain has gained extensive attention with its prominent characteristics as public,distributed,decentration and chronological characteristics.However,the transaction information on the blockchain is open to all nodes,the transaction information update operation is even more transparent.And the leakage of transaction information will cause huge losses to the transaction party.In response to these problems,this paper combines hierarchical attribute encryption with linear secret sharing,and proposes a blockchain data privacy protection control scheme based on searchable attribute encryption,which solves the privacy exposure problem in traditional blockchain transactions.The user’s access control is implemented by the verification nodes,which avoids the security risks of submitting private keys and access structures to the blockchain network.Associating the private key component with the random identity of the user node in the blockchain can solve the collusion problem.In addition,authorized users can quickly search and supervise transaction information through searchable encryption.The improved algorithm ensures the security of keywords.Finally,based on the DBDH hypothesis,the security of the scheme is proved in the random prediction model.

文摘In this paper, an extended version of standard susceptible-infected （SI） model is proposed to consider the influence of a medium access control mechanism on virus spreading in wireless sensor networks. Theoretical analysis shows that the medium access control mechanism obviously reduces the density of infected nodes in the networks, which has been ignored in previous studies. It is also found that by increasing the network node density or node communication radius greatly increases the number of infected nodes. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical simulations.

文摘The content security requirements of a radio frequency identification （RFID） based logistics-customs clearance service platform （LCCSP） are analysed in this paper. Then, both the unified identity authentication and the access control modules are designed according to those analyses. Finally, the unified identity authentication and the access control on the business level are implemented separately. In the unified identity authentication module, based on an improved Kerberos-based authentication approach, a new control transfer method is proposed to solve the sharing problem of tickets among different servers of different departments. In the access control module, the functions of access controls are divided into different granularities to make the access control management more flexible. Moreover, the access control module has significant reference value for user management in similar systems.
