An Intrusion Detection Algorithm for Wireless Networks Based on ASDL

Wireless networks are more vulnerable to cyberattacks than cable networks. Compared with the misuse intrusion detection techniques based on pattern matching, the techniques based on model checking(MC) have a series of comparative advantages. However, the temporal logics employed in the existing latter techniques cannot express conveniently the complex attacks with synchronization phenomenon. To address this problem, we formalize a novel temporal logic language called attack signature description language(ASDL). On the basis of it, we put forward an ASDL model checking algorithm. Furthermore, we use ASDL programs, which can be considered as temporal logic formulas,to describe attack signatures, and employ other ASDL programs to create an audit log. As a result, the ASDL model checking algorithm can be presented for automatically verifying whether or not the latter programs satisfy the formulas, that is, whether or not the audit log coincides with the attack signatures. Thus,an intrusion detection algorithm based on ASDL is obtained. The case studies and simulations show that the new method can find coordinated chop-chop attacks.

TUP: A New eCK-Secure AKE Protocol under the CDH Assumption

The design and analysis of authenticated key exchange protocol is an important problem in information security area. At present, extended Canetti-Krawczyk (eCK) model provides the strongest definition of security for two party key agreement protocol, however most of the current secure protocols can not be prove to secure without Gap assumption. To avoid this phenomenon, by using twinning key technology we propose a new two party key agreement protocol TUP which is obtained by modifying the UP protocol, then in conjunction with the trapdoor test, we prove strictly that the new protocol is secure in eCK model. Compared with previous protocols, the security assumption of new proposal is more standard and weaker, and it also solves an open problem in ProvSec'09.

Multi-objective Firefly Algorithm for Test Data Generation with Surrogate Model

To solve the emerging complex optimization problems, multi objectiveoptimization algorithms are needed. By introducing the surrogate model forapproximate fitness calculation, the multi objective firefly algorithm with surrogatemodel (MOFA-SM) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the population wasinitialized according to the chaotic mapping. Secondly, the external archive wasconstructed based on the preference sorting, with the lightweight clustering pruningstrategy. In the process of evolution, the elite solutions selected from archivewere used to guide the movement to search optimal solutions. Simulation resultsshow that the proposed algorithm can achieve better performance in terms ofconvergence iteration and stability.

Thread Private Variable Access Optimization Technique for Sunway High-Performance Multi-core Processors

The primary way to achieve thread-level parallelism on the Sunwayhigh-performance multicore processor is to use the OpenMP programming technique.To address the problem of low parallelism efficiency caused by slow accessto thread private variables in the compilation of Sunway OpenMP programs, thispaper proposes a thread private variable access technique based on privilegedinstructions. The privileged instruction-based thread-private variable access techniquecentralizes the implementation of thread-private variables at the compilerlevel, eliminating the model switching overhead of invoking OS core processingand improving the speed of accessing thread-private variables. On the Sunway1621 server platform, NPB3.3-OMP and SPEC OMP2012 achieved 6.2% and6.8% running efficiency gains, respectively. The results show that the techniquesproposed in this paper can provide technical support for giving full play to theadvantages of Sunway’s high-performance multi-core processors.

Parallel Region Reconstruction Technique for Sunway High-Performance Multi-core Processors

The leading way to achieve thread-level parallelism on the Sunwayhigh-performance multicore processors is to use OpenMP programming techniques.In order to address the problem of low parallel efficiency caused by highthread group control overhead in the compilation of Sunway OpenMP programs,this paper proposes the parallel region reconstruction technique. The parallelregion reconstruction technique expands the parallel scope of parallel regionsin OpenMP programs by parallel region merging and parallel region extending.Moreover, it reduces the number of parallel regions in OpenMP programs,decreases the overhead of frequent creation and convergence of thread groups,and converts standard fork-join model OpenMP programs to higher performanceSPMD modelOpenMP programs. On the Sunway 1621 server computer, NPB3.3-OMP and SPEC OMP2012 achieved 8.9% and 7.9% running efficiency improvementrespectively through parallel region reconstruction technique. As a result,the parallel region reconstruction technique is feasible and effective. It providestechnical support to fully exploit the multi-core parallelism advantage of Sunway’shigh-performance processors.
