In MIMO system, spatial modulation(SM) has recently emerged as a new transmission method. In this paper, in order to improve the security in SM-MIMO, a physical layer encryption approach named chaotic antenna-index three-dimensional modulation and constellation points rotated(CATMCPR) encryption scheme is proposed, which utilizes the chaotic theory and spatial modulation techniques. The conventional physical-layer encryption in SM-MIMO suffers from spectral efficiency(SE) performance degradation and usually needs a preshared key, prior channel state information(CSI) or excess jamming power. By contrast, we show that the CATMCPR scheme can not only achieve securely communication but also improve above drawbacks. We evaluate the performances of the proposed scheme by an analysis and computer simulations.展开更多

In the key generating procedure, the algorithm generates a plaintext-dependent secret keys set. In the encryption process, the diffusion operation with cipher output feedback is introduced. Thus, cipher-irmge is sensitive to both initial keys and plaintext through only one round diffusion operation. The key space is large. As a resuk, the algorithm can effectively resist differential attacks, statistical attacks, brute-force attacks, known plaintext and chosen plaintext attacks. Perforrmnce test and security analysis demonstrates that this algorithm is eficient and reliable, with high potential to be adopted for secure comnmnications.展开更多

Traditional software encryption applications generally suffered from the expense of user con- venience, performance efficiency, and the level of security provided. To overcome these limitations, the concept of transparent encryption has been proposed. This type of encryption mechanism can be implemented most efficiently with kernel file systems. However, this approach has some disadvantages since developing a new file system and attaching it in the kernel level requires a deep understanding of the kernel internal data structure. A filesystem in userspace （FUSE） can be used to bridge the gap. Never- theless, ctwrent implementations of cryptographic FUSE-based file systems suffered from several weaknesses that make them less than ideal for deployment. This paper describes the design and implementation of ImgFS, a fully transparent cryptographic file system that resides on user space. ImgFS can provide a sophisticated way to access, manage, and monitor all encryption and key management operations for image files stored on the local disk without any interaction from the user. The development of ImgFS has managed to solve weaknesses that have been identified on cryptographic FUSE-based implementations. Experiments were carried out to measure the performance of ImgFS over image files＇ read and write against the cryptographic service, and the results indicated that while ImgFS has managed to provide higher level of security and transparency, its performance was competitive with other established cryptographic FUSE-based schemes of high performance.展开更多
