Security of Broadband Access Network

Due to the rapid development of broadband access technologies, the broadband access networks have wider and wider application. However, with the development, the security issue became a public concern. Under the environment of access network, customers, access equipment and networks all face various threats, especially those from the user side. Such technologies and solutions as port positioning, fraud prevention on Medium Access Control (MAC) addresses and monitoring of illegal services might be the solution to the security problem existing in the current networks.

Privacy Preserving and Delegated Access Control for Cloud Applications

In cloud computing applications, users＇ data and applications are hosted by cloud providers. This paper proposed an access control scheme that uses a combination of discretionary access control and cryptographic techniques to secure users＇ data and applications hosted by cloud providers. Many cloud applications require users to share their data and applications hosted by cloud providers. To facilitate resource sharing, the proposed scheme allows cloud users to delegate their access permissions to other users easily. Using the access control policies that guard the access to resources and the credentials submitted by users, a third party can infer information about the cloud users. The proposed scheme uses cryptographic techniques to obscure the access control policies and users＇ credentials to ensure the privacy of the cloud users. Data encryption is used to guarantee the confidentiality of data. Compared with existing schemes, the proposed scheme is more flexible and easy to use. Experiments showed that the proposed scheme is also efficient.

An Anti-Quantum Authentication Protocol for Space Information Networks Based on Ring Learning with Errors

With the continuous development of satellite communication and Internet of things technology,more and more devices can access space information networks(SIN)and enjoy satellite services everywhere in the world.However,due to the openness of the air-to-ground channel,the device will face a series of security threats when accessing SIN,such as replay attacks,eavesdropping attacks,impersonation attacks,and man-in-the-middle attacks.These security threats will lead to illegal entity access and further endanger the reliability and availability of the system.Although scholars have proposed many enhanced security access authentication protocols,most of them have been proved to have security vulnerabilities.In addition,with the development of quantum computing,the previous authentication protocols based on some asymmetric cryptographic mechanisms such as discrete logarithm and elliptic curve cryptographic mechanisms may face new security challenges.In this context,this paper proposes a novel antiquantum access authentication protocol based on ring learning with errors(RLWE),which meets more security requirements and greatly reduces the authentication delay through prenegotiation.Through the security analysis and performance analysis,it is shown that our protocol can be more suitable for delaysensitive IoT devices to access SIN while ensuring higher security.

Design of power balance SRAM for DPA-resistance

A power balance static random-access memory（SRAM） for resistance to differential power analysis（DPA） is proposed. In the proposed design, the switch power consumption and short-circuit power consumption are balanced by discharging and pre-charging the key nodes of the output circuit and adding an additional shortcircuit current path. Thus, the power consumption is constant in every read cycle. As a result, the DPA-resistant ability of the SRAM is improved. In 65 nm CMOS technology, the power balance SRAM is fully custom designed with a layout area of 5863.6 μm^2.The post-simulation results show that the normalized energy deviation（NED） and normalized standard deviation（NSD） are 0.099% and 0.04%, respectively. Compared to existing power balance circuits, the power balance ability of the proposed SRAM has improved 53%.
