众包机制在信息安全中的应用现状和发展方向

Information security with crowdsourcing:A survey with research directions

信息技术的发展推动了社会的进步,也给信息安全领域带来了更多的挑战.信息安全场景越来越复杂,安全工具开发的难度越来越高,安全分析的难度也越来越大.当下的很多信息安全任务已经无法靠个人独立完成,往往需要很多人的合作.要实现这种多人合作的信息安全方案,就需要一个成熟可靠的合作机制.在软件工程领域,众包是一种成熟的分布式问题解决方案,可以将复杂任务划分为简单任务外包给他人执行,从而降低复杂度.近年来,一些研究者提出了在信息安全领域中引入众包机制来帮助解决一些难以处理的安全问题,体现出了将信息安全和众包机制结合的可行性.文章将探讨众包机制在信息安全中的应用现状,并在此基础上提出了未来的发展方向.

The development of information technology has promoted social progress but has brought more challenges to information security. The information security scene is intricate, and security tool development and security analysis are more complicated. At present, many information security tasks can no longer be accomplished independently by individuals and often require the cooperation of various experts. To realize this kind of information security scheme, a mature and reliable cooperation mechanism is needed. In software engineering, crowdsourcing is a mature distributed problem solution that reduces complexity by subdividing complex tasks into simple tasks that can be outsourced to others to perform. In recent years, some researchers have proposed introducing crowdsourcing mechanisms in information security to help solve some complicated security problems, which makes us realize the feasibility of combining information security and crowdsourcing mechanism. This paper will discuss the application status of crowdsourcing mechanisms in information security and put forward the future development directions.
