Authentication masking code against DoS of T-MAC protocol

Security vulnerability of denial of service (DoS) in time out-medium access control (T-MAC) protocol was discussed and analysis of power consumption at each stage of T-MAC protocol was carried out. For power efficient authentication scheme which can provide reliability, efficiency, and security for a general T-MAC communication, a novel synchronization and authentication scheme using authentication masking code was proposed. Authentication data were repeated and masked by PN sequence. The simulation results show that the proposed approach can provide synchronization and authentication simultaneously for nodes in wireless sensor network (WSN). 63 bits AMC code gives above 99.97% synchronization detection and 93.98% authentication data detection probability in BER 0.031 7.

Strategic information perception methods and practices in the open source intelligence

Open source intelligence is one of the most important public data sources for strategic information analysis. One of the primary and core issues of strategic information research is information perception,so this paper mainly expounds the perception method for strategic information perception in the open source intelligence environment as well as the framework and basic process of information perception. This paper argues that in order to match the information perception result with the information depiction result,it conducts practical exploration for the results of information acquisition,perception,depiction and analysis. This paper introduces and develops a monitoring platform for information perception. The results show that the method proposed in this paper is feasible.

Research on the Security of the United Storage Network Based on NAS

A multi-user view file system (MUVFS) and a security scheme are developed to improve the security of the united storage network (USN) that integrates a network attached storage (NAS) and a storage area network (SAN). The MUVFS offers a storage volume view for each authorized user who can access only the data in his own storage volume, the security scheme enables all users to encrypt and decrypt the data of their own storage view at client-side, and the USN server needs only to check the users’ identities and the data’s integrity. Experiments were performed to compare the sequential read, write and read/write rates of NFS+MUVFS+secure_module with those of NFS. The results indicate that the security of the USN is improved greatly with little influence on the system performance when the MUVFS and the security scheme are integrated into it.

Validation of the TASS/SMR-S Code for the Core Heat Transfer Model on the Steady Experimental Conditions

The SMART （System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor） which is a 330 MWt advanced integral PWR was developed by the KAERI （Korea Atomic Energy Institute） for electricity generation and seawater desalination. To enhance its safety, the various design concepts were adopted such as the most containing of the RCS （reactor coolant system） components and a PRHRS （passive residual heat removal system）. To ensure the safety and performance of the SMART, a thermal hydraulic evaluation and safety analysis are performed by the TASS/SMR-S code. It uses a one dimensional node/path modeling and point kinetics for the core power simulation. The code also has specific models reflecting the design features of the SMART such as a helical tube and PRHRS heat transfer models. In this study, the validation of the core heat transfer model in the TASS/SMR-S code on the steady conditions was performed with the Bennett＇s heated tube tests and THTF （thermal hydraulic test facility） experiment. From the results of the TASS/SMR-S code calculation, the CHF （critical heat flux） point and the fuel rod surface temperature were predicted conservatively compared to the test results.

Empirical analysis of network measures for predicting high severity software faults

Network measures are useful for predicting fault-prone modules. However, existing work has not distinguished faults according to their severity. In practice, high severity faults cause serious problems and require further attention. In this study, we explored the utility of network measures in high severity faultproneness prediction. We constructed software source code networks for four open-source projects by extracting the dependencies between modules. We then used univariate logistic regression to investigate the associations between each network measure and fault-proneness at a high severity level. We built multivariate prediction models to examine their explanatory ability for fault-proneness, as well as evaluated their predictive effectiveness compared to code metrics under forward-release and cross-project predictions. The results revealed the following:(1) most network measures are significantly related to high severity fault-proneness;(2) network measures generally have comparable explanatory abilities and predictive powers to those of code metrics; and(3) network measures are very unstable for cross-project predictions. These results indicate that network measures are of practical value in high severity fault-proneness prediction.

On Constructing Certificateless Proxy Signature from Certificateless Signature

In proxy signature schemes, an original signer A delegates its signing capability to a proxy signer B, in such a way that B can sign message on behalf of A.The recipient of the final message verifies at the same time that B computes the signature and that A has delegated its signing capability to B.Recently many identity-based(ID-based) proxy signature schemes have been proposed, however, the problem of key escrow is inherent in this setting.Certificateless cryptography can overcome the key escrow problem.In this paper, we present a general security model for certificateless proxy signature scheme.Then, we give a method to construct a secure certificateless proxy scheme from a secure certificateless signature scheme, and prove that the security of the construction can be reduced to the security of the original certificateless signature scheme.
