Hadoop is susceptible to possible cyber-attacks because it lacks built-in security measures, even though it can effectively handle and store enormous datasets using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). The increasing number of data breaches emphasizes how urgently creative encryption techniques are needed in cloud-based big data settings. This paper presents Adaptive Attribute-Based Honey Encryption (AABHE), a state-of-the-art technique that combines honey encryption with Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) to provide improved data security. Even if intercepted, AABHE makes sure that sensitive data cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties. With a focus on protecting huge files in HDFS, the suggested approach achieves 98% security robustness and 95% encryption efficiency, outperforming other encryption methods including Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE), Key-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (KB-ABE), and Advanced Encryption Standard combined with Attribute-Based Encryption (AES+ABE). By fixing Hadoop’s security flaws, AABHE fortifies its protections against data breaches and enhances Hadoop’s dependability as a platform for processing and storing massive amounts of data.展开更多

The increasing number of data breaches emphasizes how urgently creative encryption techniques are needed in cloud-based big data settings. This paper presents Adaptive Attribute-Based Honey Encryption (AABHE), a state-of-the-art technique that combines honey encryption with Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) to provide improved data security. Even if intercepted, AABHE makes sure that sensitive data cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties. With a focus on protecting huge files in HDFS, the suggested approach achieves 98% security robustness and 95% encryption efficiency, outperforming other encryption methods including Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE), Key-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (KB-ABE), and Advanced Encryption Standard combined with Attribute-Based Encryption (AES+ABE). By fixing Hadoop’s security flaws, AABHE fortifies its protections against data breaches and enhances Hadoop’s dependability as a platform for processing and storing massive amounts of data.

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This study investigates the effects of radiation force due to the rotational pitch motion of a wave energy device,which comprises a coaxial bottom-mounted cylindrical caisson in a two-layer fluid,along with a submerged cylindrical buoy.The system is modeled as a two-layer fluid with infinite horizontal extent and finite depth.The radiation problem is analyzed in the context of linear water waves.The fluid domain is divided into outer and inner zones,and mathematical solutions for the pitch radiating potential are derived for the corresponding boundary valve problem in these zones using the separation of variables approach.Using the matching eigenfunction expansion method,the unknown coefficients in the analytical expression of the radiation potentials are evaluated.The resulting radiation potential is then used to compute the added mass and damping coefficients.Several numerical results for the added mass and damping coefficients are investigated for numerous parameters,particularly the effects of the cylinder radius,the draft of the submerged cylinder,and the density proportion between the two fluid layers across different frequency ranges.The major findings are presented and discussed.

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Exploring multiple-level encryption technologies and extra safety decoding ways to prevent information leakage is of great significance and interest,but is still challenging.Herein,we propose a novel approach by developing halloysite-based X-ray-activated persistent luminescent hydrogels with self-healing properties,which can emit visible luminescence even after switching off the X-ray irradiation.The afterglow properties can be well regulated by controlling the crystal form of the anchored nanocrystal on the surface of the halloysite nanotube,enabling the“time-lock”encryption.Additionally,the absence or presence of photoluminescence behaviors can also be controlled by changing the crosslinkers in synthesizing hydrogels.Six types of hydrogels were reported by means of condensation reactions,which show diverse emission and afterglow properties.By taking advantage of these features,the hydrogels were programmed as a display panel that exhibits three types of fake information under the wrong decoding tools.Only when the right stimuli are applied at the defined time does the panel give a readable pattern,allowing the encrypted information to be recognized.We believe this work will pave a novel path in developing extra safety information-encryption materials.

文摘Network Intrusion Detection System(NIDS)detection of minority class attacks is always a difficult task when dealing with attacks in complex network environments.To improve the detection capability of minority-class attacks,this study proposes an intrusion detection method based on a two-layer structure.The first layer employs a CNN-BiLSTM model incorporating an attention mechanism to classify network traffic into normal traffic,majority class attacks,and merged minority class attacks.The second layer further segments the minority class attacks through Stacking ensemble learning.The datasets are selected from the generic network dataset CIC-IDS2017,NSL-KDD,and the industrial network dataset Mississippi Gas Pipeline dataset to enhance the generalization and practical applicability of the model.Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves an overall detection accuracy of 99%,99%,and 95%on the CIC-IDS2017,NSL-KDD,and industrial network datasets,respectively.It also significantly outperforms traditional methods in terms of detection accuracy and recall rate for minority class attacks.Compared with the single-layer deep learning model,the two-layer structure effectively reduces the false alarm rate while improving the minority-class attack detection performance.The research in this paper not only improves the adaptability of NIDS to complex network environments but also provides a new solution for minority-class attack detection in industrial network security.

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.
