First, this problem is formulated as a variant of the traveling salesman problem (TSP), called the dynamic-constrained TSP with neighborhoods (DCT- SPN). Then, a hierarchical hybrid approach, which partitions the planning algorithm into a roadmap planning layer and an optimal control layer, is proposed to solve the DCTSPN. In the roadmap planning layer, a novel algorithm based on an updatable proba- bilistic roadmap (PRM) is presented, which operates by randomly sampling a finite set of vehicle states from continuous state space in order to reduce the complicated trajectory planning problem to planning on a finite directed graph. In the optimal control layer, a collision-free state-to-state trajectory planner based on the Gauss pseudospectral method is developed, which can generate both dynamically feasible and optimal flight trajectories. The entire process of solving a DCTSPN consists of two phases. First, in the offline preprocessing phase, the algorithm constructs a PRM, and then converts the original problem into a standard asymmet- ric TSP (ATSP). Second, in the online querying phase, the costs of directed edges in PRM are updated first, and a fast heuristic searching algorithm is then used to solve the ATSP. Numerical experiments indicate that the algorithm proposed in this paper can generate both feasible and near-optimal solutions quickly for online purposes.展开更多

Among these attacks, the poisoning attack, which disturbsmachine learning algorithms by injecting poisoning samples, is an attack with the greatestthreat. In this paper, we focus on analyzing the characteristics of positioning samples andpropose a novel sample evaluation method to defend against the poisoning attack cateringfor the characteristics of poisoning samples. To capture the intrinsic data characteristicsfrom heterogeneous aspects, we first evaluate training data by multiple criteria, each ofwhich is reformulated from a spectral clustering. Then, we integrate the multipleevaluation scores generated by the multiple criteria through the proposed multiplespectral clustering aggregation (MSCA) method. Finally, we use the unified score as theindicator of poisoning attack samples. Experimental results on intrusion detection datasets show that MSCA significantly outperforms the K-means outlier detection in terms ofdata legality evaluation and poisoning attack detection.展开更多

However, searching for collisions is difficult in real environments. To circumvent this problem, we propose the Simple Power Clustering Attack (SPCA), which can automatically identify the modular multiplication collision. The insignificant effects of collision attacks were validated in an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) environment. After treatment with SPCA, the automatic secret key recognition rate increased to 99%.展开更多

In this paper, a cluster-based method for defending against adversarial examples is proposed. Each adversarial example before attacking a classifier is reconstructed by a clustering algorithm according to the pixel values. The MNIST database of handwritten digits was used to assess the defence performance of the method under the fast gradient sign method (FGSM) and the DeepFool algorithm. The defence model proposed is simple and the trained classifier does not need to be retrained.展开更多

The main objective of this paper is to propose a system that effectively detects DDoS attacks appearing in any networked system using the clustering technique of data mining followed by classification. This method uses a Heuristics Clustering Algorithm (HCA) to cluster the available data and Na?ve Bayes (NB) classification to classify the data and detect the attacks created in the system based on some network attributes of the data packet. The clustering algorithm is based in unsupervised learning technique and is sometimes unable to detect some of the attack instances and few normal instances, therefore classification techniques are also used along with clustering to overcome this classification problem and to enhance the accuracy. Na?ve Bayes classifiers are based on very strong independence assumptions with fairly simple construction to derive the conditional probability for each relationship. A series of experiment is performed using “The CAIDA UCSD DDoS Attack 2007 Dataset” and “DARPA 2000 Dataset” and the efficiency of the proposed system has been tested based on the following performance parameters: Accuracy, Detection Rate and False Positive Rate and the result obtained from the proposed system has been found that it has enhanced accuracy and detection rate with low false positive rate.展开更多

In order to prevent Sybil attacks, a new key distribution scheme for wireless sensor networks is presented. In this scheme, the key inforrmtion and node ID are associated, and then the attacker is dif-ficult to forge identity ID and the key inforrmtion corresponding to ID can not be forged. This scheme can use low-power to resist the Syhil attack and give full play to the resource advantages of the cluster head. The computing, storage and corrn^ni- cation is rminly undertaken by the cluster head o- verhead to achieve the lowest energy consumption and resist against nodes capture attack. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that com- pared with the traditional scheme presented in Ref. [14], the capture rate of general nodes of cluster re-duces 40%, and the capture rate of cluster heads reduces 50%. So the scheme presented in this pa-per can improve resilience against nodes capture at- tack and reduce node power consumption.展开更多
