In order to protect the privacy of data on untrusted servers of cloud storage, a novel multi-authority access control scheme without a trustworthy central authority has been proposed based on CP-ABE for cloud storage systems, called non-centered multi-authority proxy re-encryption based on the cipher-text policy attribute-based encryption(NC-MACPABE). NC-MACPABE optimizes the weighted access structure(WAS) allowing different levels of operation on the same file in cloud storage system. The concept of identity dyeing is introduced to improve the users' information privacy further. The re-encryption algorithm is improved in the scheme so that the data owner can revoke user's access right in a more flexible way. The scheme is proved to be secure. And the experimental results also show that removing the central authority can resolve the existing performance bottleneck in the multi-authority architecture with a central authority, which significantly improves user experience when a large number of users apply for accesses to the cloud storage system at the same time.展开更多

However,the downlink broadcast exposes the physical layer vulnerable to the threat of illegal eavesdropping. Quantum noise stream cipher(QNSC) is a classic physical layer encryption method and well compatible with the OFDM-PON. Meanwhile, it is indispensable to exploit forward error correction(FEC) to control errors in data transmission. However, when QNSC and FEC are jointly coded, the redundant information becomes heavier and thus the code rate of the transmitted signal will be largely reduced. In this work, we propose a physical layer encryption scheme based on polar-code-assisted QNSC. In order to improve the code rate and security of the transmitted signal, we exploit chaotic sequences to yield the redundant bits and utilize the redundant information of the polar code to generate the higher-order encrypted signal in the QNSC scheme with the operation of the interleaver.We experimentally demonstrate the encrypted 16/64-QAM, 16/256-QAM, 16/1024-QAM, 16/4096-QAM QNSC signals transmitted over 30-km standard single mode fiber. For the transmitted 16/4096-QAM QNSC signal, compared with the conventional QNSC method, the proposed method increases the code rate from 0.1 to 0.32 with enhanced security.展开更多

文摘With the escalating flow of information and digital communication,information security has become an increasingly important issue.Traditional cryptographic methods are being threatened by advancing progress in computing,while physical encryption methods are favored as a viable and compelling avenue.Metasurfaces,which are known for their extraordinary ability to manipulate optical parameters at the nanoscale,exhibit significant potential for the revolution of optical devices,making them a highly promising candidate for optical encryption applications.Here,a single-sized metasurface with four independent channels is proposed for conducting steganography and multi-key information encryption.More specifically,plaintext is transformed into a ciphertext image,which is encoded into a metasurface,while the decryption key is discretely integrated into another channel within the same metasurface.Two different keys for steganographic image unveiling are also encoded into the metasurface and can be retrieved with different channels and spatial positions.This distributed multi-key encryption approach can enhance security,while strategically distributing images across distinct spatial zones serves as an additional measure to reduce the risk of information leakage.This minimalist designed metasurface,with its advantages of high information density and robust security,holds promise across applications including portable encryption,high-camouflaged image display,and high-density optical storage.

文摘Security during remote transmission has been an important concern for researchers in recent years.In this paper,a hierarchical encryption multi-image encryption scheme for people with different security levels is designed,and a multiimage encryption(MIE)algorithm with row and column confusion and closed-loop bi-directional diffusion is adopted in the paper.While ensuring secure communication of medical image information,people with different security levels have different levels of decryption keys,and differentiated visual effects can be obtained by using the strong sensitivity of chaotic keys.The highest security level can obtain decrypted images without watermarks,and at the same time,patient information and copyright attribution can be verified by obtaining watermark images.The experimental results show that the scheme is sufficiently secure as an MIE scheme with visualized differences and the encryption and decryption efficiency is significantly improved compared to other works.
文摘A novel self-recoverable mechanoluminescent phosphor Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+) was developed by the high-tem-perature solid-state reaction method,and its luminescence properties were investigated.Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+)can produce red mechanoluminescence,and importantly,it shows good repeatability.The mechanoluminescence of Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+) results from the piezoelectric field generated inside the material under stress,rather than the charge carriers stored in the traps,which can be confirmed by the multiple cycles of mechanoluminescence tests and heat treatment tests.The mechanoluminescence color can be turned from red to green by co-doping varied concentrations of Tb^(3+),which may be meaningful for encrypted letter writing.The encryption scheme for secure communication was devised by harnessing mechanoluminescence patterns in diverse shapes and ASCII codes,which shows good encryption performance.The results suggest that the mechanoluminescence phosphor Ca_(5)Ga_(6)O_(14)∶Eu^(3+),Tb^(3+)may be applied to the optical information encryption.

文摘With the rapid development of internet technology,security protection of information has become more and more prominent,especially information encryption.Considering the great advantages of chaotic encryption,we propose a 2D-lag complex logistic map with complex parameters(2D-LCLMCP)and corresponding encryption schemes.Firstly,we present the model of the 2D-LCLMCP and analyze its chaotic properties and system stability through fixed points,Lyapunov exponent,bifurcation diagram,phase diagram,etc.Secondly,a block cipher algorithm based on the 2D-LCLMCP is proposed,the plaintext data is preprocessed using a pseudorandom sequence generated by the 2D-LCLMCP.Based on the generalized Feistel cipher structure,a round function F is constructed using dynamic S-box and DNA encoding rules as the core of the block cipher algorithm.The generalized Feistel cipher structure consists of two F functions,four XOR operations,and one permutation operation per round.The symmetric dynamic round keys that change with the plaintext are generated by the 2D-LCLMCP.Finally,experimental simulation and performance analysis tests are conducted.The results show that the block cipher algorithm has low complexit,good diffusion and a large key space.When the block length is 64 bits,only six rounds of encryption are required to provide sufficient security and robustness against cryptographic attacks.

文摘Information steganography has received more and more attention from scholars nowadays,especially in the area of image steganography,which uses image content to transmit information and makes the existence of secret information undetectable.To enhance concealment and security,the Steganography without Embedding(SWE)method has proven effective in avoiding image distortion resulting from cover modification.In this paper,a novel encrypted communication scheme for image SWE is proposed.It reconstructs the image into a multi-linked list structure consisting of numerous nodes,where each pixel is transformed into a single node with data and pointer domains.By employing a special addressing algorithm,the optimal linked list corresponding to the secret information can be identified.The receiver can restore the secretmessage fromthe received image using only the list header position information.The scheme is based on the concept of coverless steganography,eliminating the need for any modifications to the cover image.It boasts high concealment and security,along with a complete message restoration rate,making it resistant to steganalysis.Furthermore,this paper proposes linked-list construction schemeswithin theproposedframework,which caneffectively resist a variety of attacks,includingnoise attacks and image compression,demonstrating a certain degree of robustness.To validate the proposed framework,practical tests and comparisons are conducted using multiple datasets.The results affirm the framework’s commendable performance in terms of message reduction rate,hidden writing capacity,and robustness against diverse attacks.
