Formal analysis of robust email protocol based on authentication tests

Based on the authentication tests and the strand space model, the robust email protocol with perfect forward secrecy is formally analyzed, and the security shortcomings of the protocol is pointed out. Meanwhile, the man-in-the-middle attack to the protocol is given, where the attacker forges the messages in the receiving phase to cheat the two communication parties and makes them share the wrong session keys with him. Therefore, the protocol is not ensured to provide perfect forward secrecy. In order to overcome the above security shortcomings, an advanced email protocol is proposed, where the corresponding signatures in the receiving phase of the protocol are added to overcome the man-in-the-middle attack and ensure to provide perfect forward secrecy. Finally, the proposed advanced email protocol is formally analyzed with the authentication tests and the strand space model, and it is proved to be secure in authentication of the email sender, the recipient and the server. Therefore, the proposed advanced email protocol can really provide perfect forward secrecy.

Improvements on robust email protocols with perfect forward secrecy

According to the security shortages of two robust practical email protocols with perfect forward secrecy, attacks on the two protocols are analyzed and corresponding improvements on the two protocols are proposed. First, by analyzing the two email protocols, the corresponding man-in-the-middle attacks are proposed, where the adversary forges the messages in the receiving phase to cheat the two communication participants and makes them share the wrong session keys with him. Consequently, the man-in-the-middle attacks can make the two protocols fail to provide perfect forward secrecy. Secondly, by adding corresponding signatures in the receiving phases of the two protocols, two corresponding improvements on the protocols are proposed to overcome the man-in-the-middle attacks on the two protocols and make them provide perfect forward secrecy. Moreover, the two improved protocols can retain all the merits of the former protocols.

The Performance Analysis of the THMLD-based Mobile Multicast Method

Mobile multicast is important for the emerging applications such as mobile video or audio conference and mobile IPTV.Some mobile multicast schemes have been proposed in the past few years, but most of them study the reconstruc-tion of multicast delivery tree, and few consider the group membership management for mobile sub-scribers.In this paper, we propose a new mobile multicast method based on the Two-Hop Multicast Listener Discovery(THMLD) protocol which pro-vides the mobile multicast membership manage-ment function by forwarding the traditional MLD messages to its neighboring subnets.To evaluate its performance, we analyze the THMLD and set up the simulation platform to compare it with the several traditional mobile multicast methods.The results show that THMLD can reduce the multicast join time, and the THMLD-based mobile multicast method can reduce the multicast join delay at a cost of increasing additional multicast maintenance cost.

An Enhanced and Extensible Data Structure for Flow Export Engine

Flow-based measurement is a popular method for various network monitoring usages.However, many flow exporting softwares have still low performance to collect all flows.In this paper, we propose a IPFIX-based flow export engine with an enhanced and extensible data structure, called XFix, on the basis of a GPL tool,-nProbe.In the engine, we use an extensible two-dimensional hash table for flow aggregation, which is able to improve the performance of the metering process as well as support bidirectional flow.Experimental results have shown its efficiency in multi-thread processing activity.

Precise Transformation of Feistel to SP Fuse into LFSR

For the published block cipher algorithm, two kinds of round functions have been researched.Block ciphers in network environments are taking more risks than ever before because of their initialization key's distribution in the internet.The security of block cipher algorithm is affected by linear bias and nonlinear bias which are restricted by confusion layer and diffusion layer.This article takes an approach on how block cipher's two round structures are initially transformed when they fuse into LFSR.The SP structure can be considered two F functions in one Feistel round function which combines both right and left of origin data transformation.Furthermore, the round number linear function and nonlinear function of Feistel and SP structure are compared.The merit of SP structure is that it can fuse in LFSR as a nonlinear filter without memory.

A Kind of Multi-party Non-repudiation Protocol with Consistent Evidence

With development of electronic com- merce, non-repudiation protocol as the basal component of non-repudiation service has done more and more important functions. Comparing with lots of work on two-party non-repudiation, there are less work on multi-party non-repudiation protocol. Multi-party protocol is more complex and facing more challenge of collusion attack. In this paper we give a kind of multi-party non-repudiation protocol based on off-line TTP with consistent evidence. Consistent evidence is a property that can not only simplify the process of disputation resolving, but also make the service more friendly to users, which means that whether or not TTP involves, evidences participants obtained are consistent. In the meanwhile we analyze the collusion attack that multi-party protocol facing, our protocol can prevent collusion attack.

How the Information and Communications Technology Threaten Our Privacy： The Case of Email and P2P Propagation Models

With the rapid growth of information and communication technology （ICT）, the violation of information privacy has increased in recent years. The privacy concerns now re-emerge right because people perceives a threat from new ICT that are equipped with enhanced capabilities for surveillance, storage, retrieval, and diffusion of personal information. With the trend in the prevalence and the easy use of ICT, it is of necessary to pay much attention to the issue how the ICT can threaten the privacy of individuals on the Internet. While the Email and P2P （Peer-to-Peer） tools are the most popular ICT, this paper aims at understanding their respectively dissemination patterns in spreading of personal private information. To this purpose, this paper using dynamic model technique to simulate the pattern of sensitive or personal private information propagating situation. In this study, an Email propagation model and a Susceptible-lnfected-Removed （SIR） model are proposed to simulate the propagation patterns of Email and P2P network respectively. Knowing their dissemination patterns would be helpful for system designers, ICT manager, corporate IT personnel, educators, policy makers, and legislators to incorporate consciousness of social and ethical information issues into the protection of information privacy.

AN ADAPTIVE-WEIGHTED TWO-DIMENSIONAL DATA AGGREGATION ALGORITHM FOR CLUSTERED WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

In this paper,an Adaptive-Weighted Time-Dimensional and Space-Dimensional(AWTDSD) data aggregation algorithm for a clustered sensor network is proposed for prolonging the lifetime of the network as well as improving the accuracy of the data gathered in the network.AWTDSD contains three phases:(1) the time-dimensional aggregation phase for eliminating the data redundancy;(2) the adaptive-weighted aggregation phase for further aggregating the data as well as improving the accuracy of the aggregated data; and(3) the space-dimensional aggregation phase for reducing the size and the amount of the data transmission to the base station.AWTDSD utilizes the correlations between the sensed data for reducing the data transmission and increasing the data accuracy as well.Experimental result shows that AWTDSD can not only save almost a half of the total energy consumption but also greatly increase the accuracy of the data monitored by the sensors in the clustered network.

AN IDENTITY-BASED KEY AGREEMENT SCHEME FOR LARGE SCALE SENSOR NETWORKS

To solve the problems of high memory occupation, low connectivity and poor resiliency against node capture, which existing in the random key pre-distribution techniques while applying to the large scale Wireless Sensor Networks （WSNs）, an Identity-Based Key Agreement Scheme （IBKAS） is proposed based on identity-based encryption and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman （ECDH）. IBKAS can resist man-in-the-middle attacks and node-capture attacks through encrypting the key agreement parameters using identity-based encryption. Theoretical analysis indicates that comparing to the random key pre-distribution techniques, IBKAS achieves significant improvement in key connectivity, communication overhead, memory occupation, and security strength, and also enables efficient secure rekcying and network expansion. Furthermore, we implement IBKAS for TinyOS-2.1.2 based on the MICA2 motes, and the experiment results demonstrate that IBKAS is feasible for infrequent key distribution and rekeying for large scale sensor networks.

Searching for Flavor-Changing Neutral-Current Signals via e^+e^-(γγ)→th_t^0 in Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor Model

In the context of the top-color-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, the flavor-changing neutral-current （FCNC） interaction induced by the top-higgs （hOt） are predicted at tree level. We study the relevant processes of e＋e-（γγ）→tcht0 at the International Linear Collider （ILC）. It is found that these rare processes production rates can be enhanced significantly in the TC2 model. Especially for the process γγ→tcht0, the total cross section will reach a few fb in the reasonable parameter space. We also calculate the distributions of transverse momenta, pseudo-rapid and invariant mass of the top-higgs. In view of the main decay modes of top-higgs for mho 〈 2mr, we find that there will be several hundreds FCNC events produced at the ILC with annually integral luminosity of 500 fb-1. Due to the clean background, such FCNC signals can possibly be detected at the ILC.

A Learning Evasive Email-Based P2P-Like Botnet

Nowadays, machine learning is widely used in malware detection system as a core component. The machine learning algorithm is designed under the assumption that all datasets follow the same underlying data distribution. But the real-world malware data distribution is not stable and changes with time. By exploiting the knowledge of the machine learning algorithm and malware data concept drift problem, we show a novel learning evasive botnet architecture and a stealthy and secure C&C mechanism. Based on the email communication channel, we construct a stealthy email-based P2 P-like botnet that exploit the excellent reputation of email servers and a huge amount of benign email communication in the same channel. The experiment results show horizontal correlation learning algorithm is difficult to separate malicious email traffic from normal email traffic based on the volume features and time-related features with enough confidence. We discuss the malware data concept drift and possible defense strategies.

Learning L2 English in Tandem Partnerships On-Line

Tandem learning via email and computer-mediated communication activities flanked standard frontal English lessons for Italian adult learners in Italy. It is here suggested that the combination of tandem learning, various communication activities performed on-line, and standard courses help mature students to boost their self-esteem, give them more autonomy, and enhance their motivation. Tandem learning, which is based on the principles of reciprocity and autonomy, is ideally suited for adult students. It helps overcome the problems connected to the affective reactions of adults, and at the same time, being content driven, offers a more natural setting to learn an L2 （second language） on a mutual supportive basis.

Steady-State Properties of Driven Polydisperse Granular Mixtures

We represent a two-dimensional model of polydisperse granular mixtures with a power-law size distribution. The model consists of smooth hard disks in a rectangular box with inelastic collisions,driven by a homogeneous heat bath at zero gravity.The width of particle size distribution is characterized by the only parameter,namely,the fractal dimension D.The energy dissipation of the mixture is increased as D increases or as e decreases.Furthermore,it is found that the steady-state properties of the mixture such as the collision rate,granular temperature,kinetic pressure and velocity distribution depend sensitively on size distribution parameter D.
