Designing a Secure and Scalable Data Sharing Mechanism Using Decentralized Identifiers(DID)

Centralized storage and identity identification methods pose many risks,including hacker attacks,data misuse,and single points of failure.Additionally,existing centralized identity management methods face interoperability issues and rely on a single identity provider,leaving users without control over their identities.Therefore,this paper proposes a mechanism for identity identification and data sharing based on decentralized identifiers.The scheme utilizes blockchain technology to store the identifiers and data hashed on the chain to ensure permanent identity recognition and data integrity.Data is stored on InterPlanetary File System(IPFS)to avoid the risk of single points of failure and to enhance data persistence and availability.At the same time,compliance with World Wide Web Consortium(W3C)standards for decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials increases the mechanism’s scalability and interoperability.

Overall-Transparent Dynamic Identifier-Mapping Mechanism Against Scanning and Worm Propagation in the SINET

Static assignment of IP addresses or identifiers can be exploited by an adversary to attack a network. However, existing dynamic IP address assignment approaches suffer from two limitations, namely: participation of terminals in the assignment and inadequate network server management. Thus, in this paper, we propose an Overall-transparent Dynamic Identifier-mapping Mechanism(ODIM) to manage the identifier of network nodes to defend against scanning and worm propagation in the Smart Identifier NETwork(SINET). We establish the selection and allocation constraints, and present selection and allocation algorithms to determine the constraints. The non-repetition probability and cover cycle allow us to evaluate the defense efficiency against scanning. We propose the probability for routing identifiers and derive the defense efficiency of ODIM against worm propagation. Simulation results and theoretical analysis show that the proposed method effectively reduces the detection probability of Routing IDentifiers(RIDs) and thus improves defense capabilities against worm propagation.

An Identifier-Based Network Access Control Mechanism Based on Locator/Identifier Split

Legacy IP address-based access control has met many challenges, because the network nodes cannot be identified accurately based on their variable IP addresses. “Locator/Identifier Split” has made it possible to build a network access control mechanism based on the permanent identifier. With the support of “Locator/Identifier Split” routing and addressing concept, the Identifier-based Access Control (IBAC) makes net-work access control more accurate and efficient, and fits for mobile nodes’ access control quite well. Moreover, Self-verifying Identifier makes it possible for the receiver to verify the packet sender’s identity without the third part authentication, which greatly reduces the probability of “Identifier Spoofing”.

Identifier Management of Industrial Internet Based on Multi-Identifier Network Architecture

The industrial Internet realizes intelligent control and optimized operation of the industrial system through network interconnection.The industrial Internet identifier is the core element to accomplish this task.The traditional industrial Internet identifier resolution technologies depend excessively on IP networks,and cannot meet the requirements of ubiquitous resource-restraint Internet of Things(IoT)devices.An industrial Internet identifier resolution management strategy based on multi-identifier network architecture is proposed in this paper,which supports content names,identities,locations,apart from the traditional IP address.The application of multiple types of identifiers not only solves the problem of IP addresses exhaustion,but also enhances the security,credibility,and availability of the industrial Internet identification resolution system.An inter-translation scheme between multiple identifiers is designed to support multiple identifiers and the standard ones.We present an addressing and routing algorithm for identifier resolution to make it convenient to put our strategy into practice.

Application of Industrial Internet Identifier in Optical Fiber Industrial Chain

The industrial Internet has germinated with the integration of the traditional industry and information technologies.An identifier is the identification of an object in the industrial Internet.The identifier technology is a method to validate the identification of an object and trace it.The identifier is a bridge to connect information islands in the industry,as well as the data basis for building a technology application ecosystem based on identifier resolution.We propose three practical applications and application scenarios of the industrial Internet identifier in this paper.Future applications of identifier resolution in the industrial Internet field are also presented.

Adaptive Control of a Two-Link Robot Using Batch Least-Square Identifier

We design a regulation-triggered adaptive controller for robot manipulators to efficiently estimate unknown parameters and to achieve asymptotic stability in the presence of coupled uncertainties.Robot manipulators are widely used in telemanipulation systems where they are subject to model and environmental uncertainties.Using conventional control algorithms on such systems can cause not only poor control performance,but also expensive computational costs and catastrophic instabilities.Therefore,system uncertainties need to be estimated through designing a computationally efficient adaptive control law.We focus on robot manipulators as an example of a highly nonlinear system.As a case study,a 2-DOF manipulator subject to four parametric uncertainties is investigated.First,the dynamic equations of the manipulator are derived,and the corresponding regressor matrix is constructed for the unknown parameters.For a general nonlinear system,a theorem is presented to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the system and the convergence of parameters'estimations.Finally,simulation results are discussed for a two-link manipulator,and the performance of the proposed scheme is thoroughly evaluated.

Analysis of identifiers in IoT platforms

The Internet of Things(IoT)provides new opportunities for different IoT platforms connecting various devices together.The need to identify those devices is the foremost important to perform any kind of operation.Many organizations and standard bodies that provide specifications and frameworks for the IoT currently have their own identification mechanisms.Some existing industrial identification mechanisms can also be used in the IoT.There is no common Identification Scheme(IS)for the IoT as yet,because of the political and commercial differences amongst the standard bodies.The unavailability of a unified IS method makes the inter-working among IoT platforms challenging.This paper analyses and compares ISs used by several selected IoT platforms.This work will help in understanding the need for a common identification mechanism to provide inter-working among different IoT platforms.

Exponential Continuous Non-Parametric Neural Identifier With Predefined Convergence Velocity

This paper addresses the design of an exponential function-based learning law for artificial neural networks(ANNs)with continuous dynamics.The ANN structure is used to obtain a non-parametric model of systems with uncertainties,which are described by a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations.Two novel adaptive algorithms with predefined exponential convergence rate adjust the weights of the ANN.The first algorithm includes an adaptive gain depending on the identification error which accelerated the convergence of the weights and promotes a faster convergence between the states of the uncertain system and the trajectories of the neural identifier.The second approach uses a time-dependent sigmoidal gain that forces the convergence of the identification error to an invariant set characterized by an ellipsoid.The generalized volume of this ellipsoid depends on the upper bounds of uncertainties,perturbations and modeling errors.The application of the invariant ellipsoid method yields to obtain an algorithm to reduce the volume of the convergence region for the identification error.Both adaptive algorithms are derived from the application of a non-standard exponential dependent function and an associated controlled Lyapunov function.Numerical examples demonstrate the improvements enforced by the algorithms introduced in this study by comparing the convergence settings concerning classical schemes with non-exponential continuous learning methods.The proposed identifiers overcome the results of the classical identifier achieving a faster convergence to an invariant set of smaller dimensions.

Ai2NU: A Cytoscape plugin for uniformization of biomolecular accession identifiers

Cytoscape is one of the most popular platforms for biomolecular networks research. However Cytoscape cannot display biomolecular names according to their accession identifiers in different databases. A plugin named Ai2NU is designed and implemented in this paper. It can make biomolecular names displayed automatically in biomolecular networks graphs in Cytoscape by constructing a local dictionary. It is convenient for researchers to recognize biomolecules and enhance the research efficiency.

FUZZY IDENTIFIER WITH EXPONENTIAL RATE OF CONVERGENCE FOR NONLINEAR DYNAMIC SYSTEMS

In this paper, fuzzy systems are used as identifiers for unknown nonlinear dynamic systems. The fuzzy identifier can incorporate linguistic knowledge of nonlinear dynamic systems with input-output pairs directly into the design. In the case where there is the modelling error, a new identification algorithm is proposed. It is proved that the fuzzy identifier is globally stable and the identification error converges to zero exponentially fast.

Utilizing Geospatial Tools to Assign Unique Identifiers to Water Bodies in a Low-Income Country

Inland waters support the growth of several sectors including mining, agriculture, and health. This makes it crucial to have sustainable quantity and quality through conservation practices. Achieving sustainability requires information on the spatial distribution of water bodies. This requirement is particularly critical in low-income nations where dependence on natural resources is a key driver to economic growth. Unfortunately, these nations lack the resources to promote costly waterbody characterization. This study pre-sents a cost-effective approach in assigning Unique Identifiers (UIDs) that define locations and characteristics of rivers and streams. Our objective is to develop a scheme that can be used to identify and characterize rivers and streams in a nation. We utilized an open-source Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of NASA’s ASTER satellite and the hydrology tool in ArcGIS 10.7.1. The DEM was imported to ArcGIS followed by delineation of hydrologic regions, subregions, and stream orders. Each stream segment was given a UID based on its region and Strahler’s stream order system. We present a case study analysis for two regions within Sierra Leone using water quality data of selected rivers and streams. These will lay the foundation for a nationwide coding exercise and provide a useful reference for water resource practitioners.

Conditions of Non-Unique Identifiers in Record Linkage Using Japanese Cohort Dataset

The applications of unique identifiers such as name, home address and social security number to link different datasets have been commonly used and well-published. Also, the theoretical concepts of probabilistic algorithm in record linkage have been well-defined in the literature. However, few studies have reported the applications of its probabilistic algorithm using non-unique identifiers. In this paper, we investigate several variables (weight, height, waist, age, sex, smoking and alcohol habit) as non-unique identifiers using Japanese cohort dataset with three-year baseline of 1989-1991 to observe how effectively these identifiers can be used and what influence those may have on record linkage. Moreover, we modify the conditions of these identifiers and estimate the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for comparison. We further investigate this by using extended ten-year baseline of 1989-1999 as well. As a result, we conclude that the combination of age, sex, weight and height predicts better estimation with regards to the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy than other combinations in both men and women in case of using three-year baseline, whereas the combination of age, sex and height predicts better in both men and women in case of using ten-year baseline.

Identifier Migration for Identity Continuance in Single Sign-On

Single sign-on (SSO) is an identity management technique that provides the ability to use multiple Web services with one set of credentials. However, when the authentication server is down or unavailable, users cannot access these Web services, regardless of whether they are operating normally. Therefore, it is important to enable continuous use alongside SSO. In this paper, we present an identity continuance method for SSO. First, we explain four such continuance methods and identify their limitations and problems. Second, we propose a new solution based on an identifier migration approach that meets the requirement for identity continuance. Finally, we discuss these methods from the viewpoint of continuity, security, efficiency, and feasibility.

Unique,Persistent,Resolvable:Identifiers as the Foundation of FAIR

The FAIR principles describe characteristics intended to support access to and reuse of digital artifacts in the scientific research ecosystem.Persistent,globally unique identifiers,resolvable on the Web,and associated with a set of additional descriptive metadata,are foundational to FAIR data.Here we describe some basic principles and exemplars for their design,use and orchestration with other system elements to achieve FAIRness for digital research objects.

From Persistent Identifiers to Digital Objects to Make Data Science More Efficient

Data-intensive science is reality in large scientific organizations such as the Max Planck Society,but due to the inefficiency of our data practices when it comes to integrating data from different sources,many projects cannot be carried out and many researchers are excluded.Since about 80%of the time in data-intensive projects is wasted according to surveys we need to conclude that we are not fit for the challenges that will come with the billions of smart devices producing continuous streams of data-our methods do not scale.Therefore experts worldwide are looking for strategies and methods that have a potential for the future.The first steps have been made since there is now a wide agreement from the Research Data Alliance to the FAIR principles that data should be associated with persistent identifiers(PID)and metadata(MD).In fact after 20 years of experience we can claim that there are trustworthy PID systems already in broad use.It is argued,however,that assigning PIDs is just the first step.If we agree to assign PIDs and also use the PID to store important relationships such as pointing to locations where the bit sequences or different metadata can be accessed,we are close to defining Digital Objects(DOs)which could indeed indicate a solution to solve some of the basic problems in data management and processing.In addition to standardizing the way we assign PIDs,metadata and other state information we could also define a Digital Object Access Protocol as a universal exchange protocol for DOs stored in repositories using different data models and data organizations.We could also associate a type with each DO and a set of operations allowed working on its content which would facilitate the way to automatic processing which has been identified as the major step for scalability in data science and data industry.A globally connected group of experts is now working on establishing testbeds for a DO-based data infrastructure.

Analysis on Genetic Diversity of 40 Flowering Cherry Cultivars and Construction of Molecular ID Based on SSR Markers

Studying on the genetic diversity and genetic relationship of flowering cherry cultivars is extremely important for germplasm conservation, cultivar identification and breeding. Flowering cherry is widely cultivated as an important woody ornamental plant in worldwide, especially Japan, China. However, owning to the morphological similarity, many cultivars are distinguished hardly in non-flowering season. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity and genetic relationship of 40 flowering cherry cultivars, which are mainly cultivated in China. We selected 13 polymorphicprimers to amplify to allele fragments with fluorescent-labeled capillary electrophoresis technology. The population structure analysis results show that these cultivars could be divided into 4 subpopulations. At the population level, Na and Ne were 6.062, 4.326, respectively. Ho and He were 0.458 and 0.670, respectively. The Shannon’s information index (I) was 1.417. The Pop3, which originated from P. serrulata, had the highest Ho, He, and I among the 4 subpopulations. AMOVA showed that only 4% of genetic variation came from populations, the 39% variation came from individuals and 57% (p < 0.05) came from intra-individuals. 5 polymorphic SSR primers were selected to construct molecular ID code system of these cultivars. This analysis on the genetic diversity and relationship of the 40 flowering cherry cultivars will help to insight into the genetic background, relationship of these flowering cherry cultivars and promote to identify similar cultivars.

Ad Blockers & Online Privacy: A Comparative Analysis of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET)

Online tracking mechanisms employed by internet companies for user profiling and targeted advertising raise major privacy concerns. Despite efforts to defend against these mechanisms, they continue to evolve, rendering many existing defences ineffective. This study performs a large-scale measurement of online tracking mechanisms across a large pool of websites using the OpenWPM (Open Web Privacy Measurement) platform. It systematically evaluates the effectiveness of several ad blockers and underlying Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET) that are primarily used to mitigate different tracking techniques. By quantifying the strengths and limitations of these tools against modern tracking methods, the findings highlight gaps in existing privacy protections. Actionable recommendations are provided to enhance user privacy defences, guide tool developers and inform policymakers on addressing invasive online tracking practices.
